Round One: Fight! (3)

[10 seconds earlier]

"Before we start, I must apologise, Lars... You don't mind me calling you Lars directly, right...?"

Lars shook his head with a blank look on his race. Some trash talk before the fight? But the shiny-headed baldy with a cape Sai Kana looked rather polite and well-mannered...

"Erm... I don't mind and, I'm supposed to ask you why you're apologising, right?"

Sai Kana looked slightly sheepish as he rubbed his smooth head and smiled.

"Err... Yeah haha! T-thanks for playing along. Well, I'm apologising for two reasons. The first because what I'm about to do is despicable..."

Lars smiled and didn't mind playing along with the pre-match bragging. He asked, "I'm supposed to ask you what the second reason is right...?"

Sai Kana still continued smiling, but now there was a dangerous gleam in his eyes as he reached into his cloak and began to pull something out as he kicked off and charged forward.
