"Because you didn't defeat him. You didn't defeat the masked man. You couldn't. And to me, it was highly probable that you'd fail to beat a nastier version of him when you didn't have much help."
The words staggered Kenno, Elita and Sila.
Kenno in particular was utterly shocked to hear Kintar say it, regardless of the missing context.
Master had failed to defeat the masked man?
And because of that, it was only natural that he would lose against his alter?
What kind of stupid logic was that?
Every single one of the Stark Troops knew how much Skullius prepared for that battle. He found time for it while also helping the troops with their individual training and monitoring how they handled the Impossible Task.
He put everything on the line. He had felt the tension. Everyone had.
So what gave Kintar the right to talk down to Skullius like that?
