Matrona vs. Howzer

Griamor vs. Matrona is the first battle of the semi-finals in the Byzel Fight Festival, and is between a shrunken Diane, who is under the disguise of "Matrona", and the Holy Knight, Hauser.

Prologue
Love Helm declares the beginning of the battle; Diane mentally reminds herself to be careful, and not ruin her disguise. Hauser seems to notice something, but turning to the side, points to Diane's chest, whose chest button was undone. Love Helm comments Hauser to be a gentleman for doing so, but also states that part of the audience disapproves of his action, and wonders if Hauser, despite his looks, has a pure heart, to the Holy Knight's embarrassment.

Somewhere nearby, Taizoo, upon waking from his unconsciousness, discovers Cain to have carried him from the area where he landed following his defeat. Cain commends Taizoo for putting up a good fight, but the former mountain bandit retorts that it was certainly not so, and he had, from the beginning, known of the difference in his and Hauser's strengths, and of his opponent being a Holy Knight.

Battle
In the fighting ring, Hauser charges towards Diane, using the same technique he had used in his previous battle, to use his wind manipulation-related powers to form a small tornado around his arms, and attack with it. Diane manages to dodge it, and states that such an attack can cause great damage. Hauser agrees to it, and continues to repeatedly attack her, while stating that, if she stays still, she won't be hurt, instructing her to stop struggling against him and leave it to him, and that the attack will feel "great", and be similar to flying. Meliodas, in response to the Holy Knight's statements, comments that he is amazing for so many repeated double entendres, much to Hauser's anger, with him replying that he dislikes hurting women no matter how strong they are.

As Love Helm comments that Diane can only defend herself against Hauser's attacks, Taizoo commends her for even doing that, and adds that if she is caught within the twisters even a bit, she will be defeated, and that Hauser's attack was not something an ordinary human could withstand. Hauser, then, despite not wanting to harm a woman, forms two twisters on either side of Diane, and then goes toward her to punch, but finds his attack to be easily stopped by his opponent, leading him to bewilderedly cite Diane's earlier comment that his ability was dangerous. Diane pushes him away with a single slap, and states that she had actually said so, because she had not wanted the clothes she has borrowed from Elizabeth to be torn.

Hauser states that he can finally unleash his full powers, to which Diane expresses her anger at his attacks having torn her clothes. Just then, her skirt appears to be tearing, implying that her size is returning to normal.
