L.A.W. - League of Anime Wrestling

No response from Lotus at count two made Vera believe that the final count was just a formality at this point:

"THREE!"

DING DING DING

"Wooooooooooooooo!!!"

Vera would rise with her hands up in the air, all smiles and air kisses towards the crowd, parading around the ring with a hand on her hip, and the other hand waving into the crowd. She celebrated for a full minute before stepping towards Lotus:

"You awake there?", she bent over to try and see the answer to her question...

The Lotus was still sleeping off the finisher she took not that long ago. As such, she only reacted to Vera's question with a subconscious moan. "Nhhh..." Should the latter put more effort into rouse the former out of her slumber, the Lotus would groggily blink awake with a pained groan. "Nhg... what... happened?" She asked as she sat up and rubbed her temples.

"Oh...I actually knocked her out...", Vera thought as she bit her lip, not meaning to go this far against her opponent.

"You lost cutie. Better luck next time...", Vera would try to be a decent sport about the win, offering Lotus her hand to help her up...

The Lotus froze when she learned of her defeat. Slowly, she lowered her hand and turned her gaze towards Vera, seeing that she was offering out a helping hand. "Tch..." Miyuki couldn't help clicking her tongue, her brows knitting and her lips curling down into a frown. "The Lotus does not need luck." She declared as she slapped her opponent's hand away before she lethargically stood up. "Hmph." With one last spiteful glare directed at Vera, the Lotus huffed indignantly and marched out of the arena, still trying to maintain an air of gravitas.

Vera’s face shifted from helpful to surprised disappointment as Lotus rudely slapped her hand away from her, leaving the ring under her own power.

”Hmph…”, she let out as well as she saw her rival leave the ring, before getting back to celebrating her win for the moment…
