"You are just like those hypocrites in my team, you all just looked down on me just because I am different." said Gentleman.
"That's probably just some misunderstanding, after all, if they actually look down at you, they would at least have a chance to have a draw with our team in this match." said Maria, still in a polite tone.
"What do you mean by that?"
Maria's words had obviously successfully triggered Mr. Gentleman.
"Hmm? You don't realize about that? Don't you know that putting you in the first position in this match gives a huge disadvantage for the whole team? Your team looks quite promising in the first day's match, so I believe the other members in your team are actually quite strong and would not lose so easily for the very least, but why did they decide to let you be at the first position despite knowing it might cause the whole team to lose the match? I guess, they really care about your feelings after all. But either way, it is a good thing for our team, an easy win will always be welcomed." said Maria with a smile.
"You..."
"That's all I wanted to say. Bye!" said Maria as he dragged Sky away from Mr. Gentleman.
"Oh my! Oh my! Oh my! I did it!! I always wanted to say such harsh words with a sarcastically polite manner!" Maria exclaimed as he dragged Sky with him, he is rather excited.
"Heh? I thought you were going to console him. What's with all those mean words?" Sky asked, slightly confused.
"I am indeed trying to console him. Chris-chan said that, sometimes people take harsh words more easily than nice words, especially to such a prideful person." said Maria.
"Ah... No wonder you sound a bit like Chris just now, just what the heck he had taught you?" said Sky who is a bit hard to accept what Maria just told him...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The match on both of the fields continue and had really heated up, the strength of the competing contestants are quite even for both of the matches on the field. While Junior blasted a powerful magic burst to his macho opponent, Gerrard perfectly escaped a deadly laser net from his random opponent.
"Hmm... I wonder if it's because the power gap between you and Gerrard is huge or it's just that the opponent you fought just now is weak?" said Chris, in a slightly mean tone.
"That's a good question, but I can't really give you an answer, it would sound quite wrong either way." said Blair, kind of awkward due to Chris's questions. Then, Chris turned his sight to Sheriff who is sitting next to Blair.
"Ah... I believe you already have the answer for this, Tank is indeed much stronger than Gentleman." said Sheriff who understands Chris's thought just through a stare.
Chris nodded as he is satisfied with that answer from Sheriff. And yes, at this moment, a weird bond had been formed in between the three of them.
Later, the fierce matches on the field ended, Gerrard manages to defeat his opponent at the last minute of the countdown, while Junior's match been halted as the time ended and thus he and his opponent get a draw.
Junior walked to the waiting area, he is rather upset that he failed to win the match, then, he is greeted by Chris who is switching places with him. Chris tapped his shoulder with a rather confident smile.
"Don't feel down, you did great just now, a draw does bring our team nearer to the victory." said Chris before walk passes Junior and headed to the field.
"KYAAHHH!!! CHRIS-SAMAA!!!"
"We LOVE YOU! CHRIS-SAMA!!!"
As soon as Chris stepped out from the waiting area, an overwhelming, loud, and restless applause can be heard from the audience. Hearing all the applause, Chris waved back to the audience like a real celebrity which caused the applause to gets even louder than before. A lady in a cowboy outfit stood at the opposite side, stared at him, a bit despised of the sight.
"Haha. I'm sorry about that, they could get quite emotional sometimes." said Chris as he approaches his opponent with a smile.
"It's alright." said the lady, rather cool and slightly annoyed.
"Anyway, before the match started, I would like to give you my deepest apologies for whatever things I am going to do later, and I need to let you know that, whatever I will be doing has nothing to do with your gender and level of strength." said Chris with a polite bow.
"It's better that way, I don't like people to look down on me just because I'm a lady." said the lady, with a slightly softer tone as she realized Chris might not be as bad as she thought.
"Look how excited our audiences are, look like this will be another splendid match! As usual, the match will start as soon as the bell rang, I hope all the contestants are well prepared." said the Emcee Cat.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Waiting area.
"Ah... This cat certainly speaks more compared with that parrot, and seriously, the applause just now is just crazy, I can even hear it from the end of the corridor." said Sky as he walked into the waiting area with Maria.
"Ah... Mr. Vlansky. Chris-chan told me that you and Miss Maria went out to look for Mr. Gentleman from Sheriff's team, how's everything going?" Blair asked as he invited Sky and Maria to sit next to them.
"We found him at the end of the corridor and he looked kind of down, so we somehow comforted him a bit... Yes." said Sky, in a careful manner.
As Sky is talking, Mr. Gentleman silently walked into the waiting area and is seated at the far corner, still looks a bit grumpy.
"I think I need to thank you for the effort, we really have no idea on how to deal with him sometimes." said Sheriff.
"Haha... It's not a big deal." said Sky with an awkward laughter as he clearly how the 'comfort' is.
Suddenly.
"Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!"
"Ah... The bell rang, it's finally Chris's turn now. I'm really anticipating about it." said Sky.
