Anger. Frustration. Annoyance. These were the feelings being emitted from my short body as I looked in front of me and saw the old geezer hiding yet again behind something as he did earlier in our contest. It was unbelievable how cowardly he was acting while making his poor creatures do his bidding for him because he didn't want to stain his hands or something like that. Honestly, I was not entirely sure why he continually kept hiding from me unless he knew that he was at a handicap and was trying to merely play the defensive game until I wore myself out or slipped up as I did a few seconds earlier due to some slime that had appeared on the battlefield. Regardless though, if he wanted to hide and play a game of cat and mouse, we could easily do this as I had nowhere to be nor did I believe the crowd honestly cared if this fight continued on for awhile as they were still erupting and cheering for both of us out here. However, there was a problem with this fight being prolonged and that was that I had ran empty of my chakra and only had a little bit of my lord's energy ready to utilize as I saw fit. This was going to be quite problematic in the long run if I didn't end this sooner than later. I needed to act now as I sighed heavily and pointed my sword at the obstacle containing my opponent. I might have managed to do a fair amount of damage to my opponent, but his chakra reserves from what I could tell were good to go while I was depleted meaning every strike from here on out needed to be perfect or I would likely collapse from fatigue; in other words, I would be slowly killing myself the longer this went on and the more damage I had to do.
Alas with my sword in my hand, I would simply sigh again as I began to try to figure out what the best course of action would be to turn the tide of this battle in my favor again. With this old man hiding once again behind something, he was prolonging the inevitable and he knew that he was at a heavy disadvantage or it at least appeared like that. Regardless, I would just need to learn from my mistakes in this contest and better prepare myself for the following match-ups if I managed to actually move on and didn't simply collapse due to overusing my body. It was certainly not going to be easy however finishing this old man off, but I had the advantage and I would just have to simply capitalize on it when the opportunity presented itself once more to me. For now, I would just have to wait and see what transpired. All I did know right now was I wanted to win by officially knocking him out like the combatants before me had done, but a forfeit would also not necessarily be the worse thing in the world since he had proven to me that he was old but still knew how to hold his own in this world.

As I stood there waiting to see what he would do, the crowd would continue to erupt around us as they likely wanted to see more chaos ensue and blood spilled. Unfortunately for them, the match would come to its conclusion quickly as Miki would forfeit the match and begin to leave the arena grounds leaving me standing there with a look of confusion on my face. This look was likely due to the fact that everything seemed to be going well and he just suddenly threw the towel in after something caught his attention from afar, I had no idea what it was though. Nevertheless, I had won my first match of the tournament and was heading to the second round in likely a few short days.
