Okay, Conquest needs to win this round, so who wants to fight me? I'd rather fight people from Fortitude so that you don't get tortured when I beat you, but if someone from Conquest really really wants to battle I guess I won't say no.

Anyone up for a fight? I won't go easy on you!

And hey, Arthur! I got you something!

simply noting your speedy adjustment to the circumstances.
we will lose again, even if we win this time.

Not if Lemina Ausa has anything to do with it.

it's good to meet you, too.
you intend to single handedly win every round from now on?

text

[pennypincher]

No way! I'm sure everyone else from Conquest wants to win just as badly.

doubtless.
even given such extraordinary outcomes, however, i don't believe it will permanently deter prefect-related pain.

[pennypincher]

So, what, because it won't permanently deter it we shouldn't even try to reduce it a little?

no.

i will fight, just as you will.
but steel yourself against the eventual consequences of losing, however delayed. the headmasters do not strike me as easily forgiving.
