Ryu clashed with the Roc Prince again and again. Every time, he seemed to be left in a sorry state. As the battle continued, one could clearly see that Ryu's stamina was plummeting down a cliff, and his ability to rebound was becoming weaker and weaker.
And yet, he had had six or seven opportunities to kill the Roc Prince already, but every time, he simply rested his blade against his neck and then pushed him back, telling him to come again.
No matter what sort of person you were, or what sort of feelings you had about Ryu, the sheer arrogance, the bravado to train an enemy at the expense of your own self, right in the middle of a battlefield where countless people wanted your head…
It filled many with doubt.
Could they do such a thing? Could they be so confidently selfless?
They didn't know what sort of relationship Ryu had with the Roc Prince's father, or how the likes of Ryu could even have such a relationship with a figure on that level to begin with, but it didn't matter.
