Edward was close to 1.8 meters in height. Despite that, his opponent, Rick, towered over him like a giant. The latter looked down on him and cracked his knuckles as he spoke, "I've seen your previous fights. You're good."
The youth was indifferent to the praise of his senior. He patiently wrapped a long cotton strip around his fists as he prepared for the fight.
Rick continued as his lips curled up into a grin, "After I beat you down, I hope you won't cry to your rich daddy."
Edward scoffed. "Whatever happens in the ring, stays in the ring."
"Hahaha!" Rick laughed loudly with his hands on his hips. "Not bad. You're not like what I imagined at all."
After seeing that Edward had finished wrapping his fists, the announcer came between them and solemnly spoke, "I want a clean fight. If I see you trying to kill each other, I will stop the fight immediately. If you understand, nod."
Both students nodded.
