But when she suddenly comes to in the body of the young, frail Nia Liston, she's got an all-new fight ahead of her. Nia is a sickly child, meaning she has a long way to go before she's in fighting form. Now that she's been given a second shot at life, however, she's determined to get what she wants. She's going to live-and die-for battle this time! Make way for the Merciless Maiden!

With the preliminaries over, it's time for the main event to finally begin! As the excitement within Altoire reaches its peak, tension builds between Nia's students-but they're not the only formidable competition in this tournament!
Underneath the surface, the leaders of the underworld congregate, playing a money game that could completely alter the landscape of their shadowy world. Anzel knows that those living in the shadows do not belong in the light, but even as he begins to accept the fate thrust upon him by Kaffes's ten billion kram bet, he finds himself drawn to the one remaining possibility left to him to take his life back.
Meanwhile, King Hyurence notices Nia for her detailed thoughts on each of the matches, and asks her to commentate on the whole event! But watching isn't enough to sate her hunger-this Merciless Maiden can't resist taking her own little bite!
