Michael who stepped onto the stage felt the gazes of the people were on him, the sound of their voices was being drowned out by the loud beating of his own heart. As he was trying to calm himself down he heard the voice of his opponent.
"The gap between you and I is too big, so you should just forfeit the match."
'What the f*ck is this nobody saying?! How can someone who uses inferior things like inner energy compare to someone who uses mana? Come on Michael tell this piece of waste that he's the one who'll lose!'
The Spirit of Akashic Records kept screaming in Michael's mind, it took Michael a few seconds to calm the Spirit down. Yamato thought that Michael was considering his proposal to forfeit so he waited patiently. When Yamato felt like Michael was done thinking he spoke again.
"So will you forfeit?"
"Huh? What did you say I was thinking about something else."
Yamato frowned as he looked at Michael and repeated what he said.
