Round Two, winner: Adrian Tymes.
Eh? By my count, a round ends when all particicipants have had a go,
which means that Round Two is at most half over - depending on whether
or not anyone else wants to join in. Either that, or what you called
Round One was in fact Round Two and this would be Round Three. Or
something like that. Is this relevant? I'm not sure. But I'm a precisionist.
I'm operating on the power of whimsy, not logic.
However....
Well, there's also the view that the challenge did not even start until
all parties were aware that a challenge existed, thus what Brian called
Round Two was in fact the conclusion of Round One. (Yeah, I know:
always assume you could be challenged and never ever let your guard
down - but letting your guard down works often enough to make it
worthwhile. ^_-) Or one could believe that Brian had waited long
enough that he believed no other participants were willing to take a go.
Or, perhaps, each pair of fics forms a Round, even if that means each
Round overlaps with the next and previous.
Hehe... you each have a point. We'll see who claims the final point if
Siaru replies.

"End simulation."
The villain, the arena, and the former guards vanished, leaving only
Kei, Yuri, 29 cadets, and 1 instructor who was very pleased to have such
a famous 3WA team demonstrate a textbook situation...though he feared
they might have made the "pretend to fight each other" step look a
little too real. But, no - surely they were the best of friends in real
life, and merely good actors, weren't they?
My. Tymes, your mastery of metahumor impresses me yet again. It will be
difficult to imagine this feat being trumped, but at the same time... if
not too much time has passed (I was sleeping under my desk at work when
this e-mail was sent to me), we might see something even more spectacular.
