[Video]

[utopiamods]

It's completely understandable if anyone got bored watching the broadcast of this battle. For anyone who's still paying attention, though, the video blanks out after Mei's forfeit, and the woman from the round change videos appears on-screen. And she's not happy.

"It looks like some of you are cheating," she comments. "You can play games with each other on your own time, okay? Exaclan is for battling! Just so you know, the warning penalty will let you know if you break any rules, and if it's bad enough you'll also be fined Tokens, whether you're a Player or a Weapon. So don't cheat, okay?"

She smiles, then. "That's all for now. See you next Round!"

Comments

Romeo blinked and smiled again at the thank you. "It's alright! I wasn't scared," well not too scared anyways, he was much better at being brave now.

He tilted his head before deciding Sora had been nice to him and so she might let him ask questions, "Ma'am, why was that man so angry?"

[allurprincess]

"Shoujou, you mean? Ahh..." Her shoulders dropped a fraction, and she scratched her cheek sheepishly. "He's someone I want to save, but he doesn't want that."

[myblueskies]

"Why would anybody not want to be saved?" That didn't make any sense to Romeo, if you were in trouble you wanted to be saved and if your friends were in trouble you wanted to save them. "Who does he need saved from?"

[allurprincess]

"Sometimes, people don't know how much they're suffering," she didn't fully understand it herself, but she wasn't going to say that. She had been so close, before she'd woken up here. "It's the idealogy of Iwahijiri. I was going to cut him free of it, but, well, they aren't here. Maybe now I don't have to."

[myblueskies]

Romeo blinked, he didn't really understand a lot of the words that Sora said but he understood. The angry man was suffering and Sora didn't know if she needed to save him.

He shook his head, "If he is hurting then you have to save him! I can help you!" He had forgotten, because Sora was so kind, that she was an adult and adults didn't need help from children.

[allurprincess]

He was adorable, really. Sora nodded, enthused, and reached up to ruffle his hair. Meeting someone who followed the Knight's Path was a blessing each and every time it happened.

"I will!" It was a statement of fact more than a hope, "And not just him. I'll save everyone."

[myblueskies]

She would save everyone? That was a big dream, almost as big as Alfredo's and Romeo's eyes danced as she spoke. She was very much like Alfredo actually and as she put her hand on her heart he did the same, clenching his fist and pressing it to his chest.

It was a lot like Alfredo's dream, which Romeo had promised to fulfil. "I'll help you! Alfredo always says you can do anything if you work together!" With their hands to their hearts it was a vow, and not one that Romeo would ever think of breaking.

[allurprincess]

"Right!" She kept her hand over her heart when he mirrored it, beaming at him. "Working together, we'll definitely save them all."
