[X] Change your plan entirely.
-[X] It's clear that at this rate, she's going to win. That means you have to flee...but that doesn't mean you have to let her know why you fled.
-[X] Summon your blaster back to your hand and fall back to the High Ground.
-[X] Remind her of her place with as much as truthful painful disgust in your voice as possible.
-[X] "Another Berserker." -> "You attack with no regard to your surroundings. Unable to think about anything but killing her foe." -> "Would you have even cared had they been people?!" -> "With the racket you've made, someone's bound to snooparound. And I refuse for there to be more 'Collateral Damage'because you."
-[X] "Maybe you should think about why you really took up that sword."
-[X] Dramatic Exit

This seems good, so I'm voting for it for now.

I shared a ton of art on discord because I'm addicted to image dumps, aka, I'm looking forward to the appearance vote qwq.
 
I don't understand why people are voting for a 'disguised' retreat when we can have a mutual KO and a guarantee to have a huge importance in the rest of the series. Take an example from Goku and Vegeta's fight (the first one) Goku was left nearly dead and needed to stay at the hospital for quite some months, Vegeta too but it was in another planet. Vegeta became the main rival of Goku and got epic fights, emotional moments and the love of half of the community if not more.

Yeah that would be epic, sadly getting us both knocked out is a pretty bad idea considering Its night time and having both the Hero and Rival get KO'd while this is our setting.

Isn't a smart move.

Bad End:Both of you get chewed up by a random monster. Since you are both unconcious and heavil wounded.

Alright guys we just had our MC perform the smuggest entrance possible, talked down to her, and generally be kind of an ass, and now you want to change our approach if we do that our character would just look like a Smug Snake - TV Tropes and those guys tend to really low on the popularity side and would just invite disdain on our character, the Awesome Ego - TV Tropes approach the one we went for would only work if we could back it up, otherwise it becomes the above mentioned example.

[X] Fuck it, you're new, you can change things up. Grab her sword, stop her cold, then counterattack. (Cost: 3 Tolerance)

or

write in: [] Flash step behind her and chop the back of her neck to knock her out now.
-[] While saying 'A worthless endeavor you lack control' in disdain towards her actions.

This should be more appropriate towards our actions till now, and also worrying about tolerance points? you people sound like guys who aggressively hoard potions saying you will use this at the appropriate moment like during the fight against the final boss of the game only to never use it against them.

I don't think the QM would do that in the introduction scene of the main rival of the heroine, no Japanese studio would do that. You know the convenient plot armor at specific moments? This is a common Trope and Tropes are king here. Or if you want a more logical answer, the area was already cleared by the heroine before we made our glorious entry.
 
The issue I have with the double KO is that, besides being knocked unconscious in what is a temporarily not infested area, is that Monsters will come back. The Heroine's light source will disappear.

And if there are other heroes in the area, we've got a good chance of getting detained.

That said, we could aim for the double KO but use up another Tolerance Point to come out the exchange not really knocked out.

Weakened enough that an Episode 1 hero could beat us, but strong enough that we can at least bring our Heroine back to understandably safe hands before disappearing back to get lectured by Master for being a loser.

But yeah, that's a Rivalry, but just not as intense as Goku vs Vegeta was.

...probably closer to Superman And Batman, which isn't a bad idea.

A compromise plan might be good but we don't know how long vote is if others will make it in time to edit
 
If we add in a bit of being genuinely 'senpai is sad and disappointed' I'm down with it. I will cling to softly smiling smugpei as much as I can.
 
To quote half-discarded memories, it's only too late when it's over. Or something.

Also @Lilithium , the Senpai can't happen now because we the actual readers, haven't even seen their respective backgrounds. Hell, this could probably be their first meeting to begin with.

I'm all down for some Smugpai and Denseha later on though.

Nice compromise. Doesn't make us look like a smug asshole who is an immense coward. Or get us killed from shadow monsters.

guys, mutual KO doesn't address the underlying issue that heroine is gonna need character development, now is the perfect time to point her in the right direction

Had we actually handily won, we could have impresssed on her that particular idea. Seeing as we're not curbstomping her 10 Strength 0 Perception ass, trying to preach just won't work. Not in this type of scenario at least.

If you're worried about her self realization Arc, then all we really need to do is keep making awesome episodes so we can get a bigger budget to unlock Perk: Season 2 or something.
