Nakano Azusa (K-ON!, 8 pts) vs. Charlotte Dunois (IS (Infinite Stratos), 8 pts)
vs. Segawa Izumi (Hayate no Gotoku!, 2 pts)A preliminary round? It could possibly be what the future finals of ISML would look like. Nakano Azusa and Charlotte Dunois, two bright young contenders, are the remaining girls in their group to have a perfect score in hand. So much is at stake, and it is not during the finals of the first preliminary period. One small wrong move would spell the beginning of the end of one of these girls. The 2010 AST Champion is looking to put away her potential opponent with her guitar and music. The French rising contender will do whatever to takes to take out a powerful foe with her charm and beauty. In the midst of this heat, Segawa Izumi is planning to get a surprising win here, which could ultimately be the biggest upset victory in her part. The heat is on in a match that can alter who stays and who gets sent packing back home. Who will come out victorious after everything is said and done?
Iwasawa Asami (Angel Beats!, 6 pts)
vs. Elucia de Lute Irma (Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai, 8 pts)
vs. Ayatsuji Tsukasa (Amagami SS, 2 pts)After a loss from Merry Nightmare, Elucia de Lute Irma should be glad that things are going in her direction thus far. The Lost Soul hunter has maded her previous matches look easy, but today, things might get a little bit sticky. One of her opponents is none other than Iwasawa Asami, the one who knocked Merry out of the competition with an impressive score. At this rate, the former Girls Dead Monster leader may send another hard-working girl out of the race to make it quickly to the first sixteen spots. Ayatsuji Tsukasa wishes not to be ignored. Although the class representative is not doing too well, a win from her would definitely send a message everyone in her group. What will the outcome be in this clash of three contenders?
Lucy Heartfilia (Fairy Tail, 0 pts) vs. Kuroi Mato (Black ★ Rock Shooter, 6 pts)
vs. Index L. Prohibitorum (Toaru Majutsu no Index, 6 pts)Chuck the rulebook out the window. This group potentially shows that anything can happen in ISML. Kuroi Mato scored a major victory over veteran Maria. The middle school basketball player proved that she will not be intimidated by a powerful veteran like Maria. Her next match may prove a challenge, as she is facing Index L. Prohibitorum. Although her competition was easy, Index proved that she still have some strength on her to take out anyone that she sees as prey. Even though Lucy Heartfilia has not been scoring any wins as of yet, it is only a matter of time until she does the impossible, and this match may provide the opportunity that she needs to pull off a grand victory. Will the spirit summoner take home the victory, will the rock shooter wreck everything in her path, or will the magical run make sure that the results will be in her favor?
