"Sir, are you certain that we shouldn't do something?" One of Nero's supporters asked while watching Nero do his morning training.
"There's no need to do anything but continue training as usual, and wait for the day of the duel." Nero calmly replied while in the horse stance.
"I know you don't want to do something like that, but Julius is someone who would use any means necessary to win."
"Erik, as a person following the same path to find the truth, you should know that I will not do something underhanded."
"... I understand... Still, shouldn't we at least prepare something in case he does something before the duel?"
"There's no need, whatever plans he has I will crush them in an upfront manner." When Nero said those words a smile appeared on his face it was the same smile Ren showed when he was fighting the Old God.
