"...This was out of my expectations."
Duke Anozech's face was tinged with solemnity as he gazed at the arena from one of the platforms.
Pondering over the events that had just transpired, his brows furrowed tightly.
"How odd..."
"What's odd about the situation, your excellency?"
Appearing from behind was his servant.
Without looking back, Duke Anozech replied.
"Have you ever seen the Blood Prince go all out from the beginning?"
Musing for a moment, the servant shook his head.
"No, it has never happened before."
"That's right, it has never happened before."
There had never been a time when the Blood Prince had started from the very beginning with such vigor.
To gauge his opponent's strength, he tended to always start slowly before ending it.
"Furthermore, he displayed several skills that he had never demonstrated before. Isn't the situation odd?"
