I am beginning to feel quite nervous this morning as the time for my test fight draws near. I haven't even shown anyone my creation yet, much less fought them. How will it do? Are there gaping flaws? Will it work at all in actual combat? I can't keep my mind focused.
"Relax, you're a great fighter, you know what a technique needs." Karl whispers in my ear, giving me a big hug from behind. "You've also got loads of memories stuffed into that pretty little head, you won't lose on experience."
"It's time." Elder Po calls. "Your opponent, Inner Sect disciple White Claw is waiting at the arena for you."
White Claw is a small man, barely 160cm, with short spiky brown hair, dyed blonde at the ends. He looks like he's been in more than a few fights, his nose has clearly been broken more than once, and there's scars on his hands.
