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!

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?

[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.
