Jackson opens his eyes! Jackson jumped up, saying, "You-"

(Jebi) - "Calm down! The first round is over!"

Jackson continued processing everything. After a while, he asked, "So, who won the first round?"

Jebi smiled and replied, "It's our loss."

(Jackson) - "But how!?"

Jebi explained everything. Jackson was in disbelief.

(Jackson) - "He isn't human! How can he predict this much in such a short time? And he even deceived us!"

(Jebi) - "Calm down. Nothing good will happen if we panic. Listen, there's not much time before the second round begins. I've already explained the plan to everyone. It's your turn now."

Four minutes later:

Jebi stood in front of The Devil's House. Arnold's men checked Jebi, just like in the first round, ensuring he had nothing with him. No one could enter The Devil's House with anything. Vincenzo was also checked and cleared.

(Jebi) - "Is this it? Can we enter now?"

Arnold replied through the mic, "Yes, you can."

Jebi and Vincenzo sat in the chairs, just like in the first round. The doors of The Devil's House closed, and the UOF leader announced that the second round was about to begin.

(Vincenzo) - "So, what's your plan?"

Jebi replied, "Can't you tell?"

(Vincenzo) - "Based on what I saw in the last round, I've already taken the necessary steps."

(Jebi) - "Impressive, but if you don't try harder, you can't beat me."

(Vincenzo) - "We'll see. By the way, your teammates are strong. They managed to damage my teammates."

(Jebi) - "And your teammates are weak. Finsil was saying he might take on two of your fighters alone."

Vincenzo smiled.

(Jebi) - "What's so funny?"

(Vincenzo) - "Your entire statement is funny."

(Jebi) - "Huh?"

(Vincenzo) - "I'm sure Finsil won't be saying that after this round. My teammates are complaining it's very hard to hold back."

(Jebi) - "Don't tell me they've been holding back this whole time!"

Outside The Devil's House:

Finsil and Kazel were on the left side, while Targut and Jackson were on the right.

Scorpen thought to himself, "They're protecting J base, but it's useless because we have more manpower."

Inside The Devil's House:

(Vincenzo) - "Hey, how are you going to protect J base?"

(Jebi) - "What do you mean?"

(Vincenzo) - "I mean, I have the advantage in terms of manpower. Finsil and Kazel will be fighting Thomas and Jonas. Meanwhile, Scorpen can easily beat Jackson. After that, Scorpen will see what you have!"

(Jebi) - "It's annoying that you have more manpower, but I have my ways."

(Vincenzo) - "Oh? Anyway, this would be easier if you didn't have to reveal your cards. If you don't put our cards on the table, there will be no risk for you."

[The players inside The Devil's House must hold their cards visibly, as mentioned in Chapter 48. It takes stamina to hold them throughout the round, which can last from two minutes to as long as a day. Jebi and Vincenzo put their cards down in a way that they're visible to their respective bases.]

Outside The Devil's House:

Jonas and Thomas walked towards Kazel and Finsil.

(Finsil) - "Hulk, did you notice something?"

(Kazel) - "Yeah, something feels different about them."

(Finsil) - "It's like they're much stronger now!"

Thomas said, "Yo! I've been missing you all this break time. I'm ready to back you up with punches!"

Jonas stood in front of Finsil.

(Jonas) - "I heard you're known as the 'White-Haired Legend.' A legend is a bold nickname for someone like you. Do you know what they called me back in Japan? They called me 'Shouten-doji.'"

[Finsil] - "Your nickname is the bold one."

(Jonas) - "You're wrong. Shouten-doji alone isn't enough to express my strength."

Jonas suddenly punched at Finsil, aiming for his face. This punch was too fast for ordinary human eyes to see or react to.

But Finsil not only reacted but also blocked the punch with his hand.

(Jonas) - "First the gorilla, and now you?! Both of you have reached superhuman abilities! Well, it'll be the same as with that gorilla."

(Finsil) - "I don't know what you're talking about!"

(Jonas) - "Fear me!"
