Fourth level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, Battle Arena #5
The pigtailed youth held a dagger in hand while feeling short of breath. He looked exhausted.
That's not right. Describing him as pigtailed youth was no longer correct because his pigtail had already disappeared!
The pigtail youth's pigtail had been cut off at its roots. There was not even a tiny tail left!

This was because at this very moment, thirty minutes had passed since the pigtailed youth said the words—"One minute. If I'm unable to finish this battle after one minute, I'll cut my pigtail!"
Without being able to finish the battle even after thirty minutes, with an inkling that it would drag even longer, the pigtailed youth eventually cut his pigtail out of anger!
"You sure can run. You may not be strong, but your running skill is the best I've ever seen."
