Easy

Ryu sat in silence, not even bothering to gloat as though this was very normal. He didn't seem to mind the gazes that he was receiving at all. 

"You went easy on me?" Selheira asked. 

Though her voice had the same amount of gentleness, it was tinged with a hint of a wronged air to it. Clearly, she wasn't very happy about this. But then again, if Ryu did this, would their games have even been fun? If the gap between him and Old Wan was so wide, how much wider was it between the two of them? 

However, surprisingly, Ryu shook his head. 

"No, I didn't."

Old Wan's lip twitched. Was this brat trying to humiliate him further, claiming that Selheira could beat him even easier? Forget it, he had lost his bearing as a senior anyway, he might as well let this matter slide. 

But after he regained his calm, Old Wan's gaze flickered and he suddenly understood something. 

"I see…" he said lightly.
