488 END OF BATTLE ROYALE

[ALTHOUGH you're not the fastest, you're still the second.  Though I must say that second place doesn't really matter in the overall matter of things.  After all, in people's eyes, the first place is the one who ever really matter.  But don't let this thing deter you.  Just know that you're still better than the ones who got the third or fourth place, right?]

The Duke of Hearts continued.  Anyone who heard him would wonder if he was being serious or if he was simply mocking them.  He continued on after that.

[Sonata, Black Cat, Winged Tassel, and Supreme King - you four are now qualified to participate on the final tournament of the Rookie Carnival.  But truly, this lord is quite disappointed that none of you entertained me enough.  So, no hearts for you.]
