The lights in the Ramen Bowl Arena flickered briefly before illuminating in a dazzling blaze. The huge, circular fighting ring, reminiscent of an oversized ramen bowl, was located in the center of the stadium. The edges were decorated with Chinese lanterns, steaming pots of soup, and banner flags bearing the logo of her family's famous noodle restaurant. The aroma of fresh broth and spices filled the air a trademark of this unique arena. The spectators roared as Min Min stepped into her starting position. Her opponent stood at the other end of the ring, his arms slightly bouncy, ready for the first attack. It was the semifinals of the grand ARMS tournament, and only one of the two would advance to the finals.

The gong sounded a deep, vibrating sound that echoed through the stadium. Without hesitation, Min Min leaped forward, her long, flexible arms in perfect harmony with her swift movements. She used a combination of precise strikes and quick evasive maneuvers, focusing on the perfect opportunity. Just when her opponent had let down his defense, Min Min kicked him directly from the side into his hip. He flew out of the ring and crashed into the barrier, a loud KO! sounded. The crowd erupted in cheers. Min Min had made it to the finals!

Sweat dripped from her forehead as she slowly approached the ring's edge. She briefly removed her beanie, brushed a strand of hair from her face, and looked at her fallen opponent. Min Min, who wasn't exactly known for many words, crossed her arms and regarded him with a slight grin. She extended her hand as a sign of respect.

"You were fast. But not fast enough. Are you new here, huh? I've never really seen you around here before, but it's a pleasure to meet you!"
