Fear is necessary.

I get out of the ring and sit on the chair while staring at Dai who's still trying to get up after getting knocked out. Ren and Horii seem to be talking about a serious matter because of the way they look at each other.

Horii looks at Dai who's staggering while he's getting out from the ring, she asks him if he's alright and he just nods while unwrapping the wraps on his hands. Ren is just smiling at him and then tapping him on the shoulder to comfort him a bit.

Horii looks at me while walking towards me, she's shaking her head while chuckling.

"It seems that we both have been underestimated you, Norl-kun. I never thought that Dai would be beaten so easily, even I'm surprised to see his condition like that. I guess you will do great in your debut in the mixed martial arts competition, and I will be rooting for you and for your success as well of course."

I slightly smile and nod while wiping the sweat on my neck.
