151 – In the Middle of Two Hills

The next day, the bustle was heard outside the 5x5 meter tent occupied by my two colonists. I have to admit the preparation from Redtooth was quite amazing. They even provided this private room, complete with water, food, exercise equipment, and other necessities. It's like a prep room for real-world MMA fighters but a more primitive version.

"Are you nervous?" Eric asked. He was wrapping Leva's hands with long cloths.

Leva, who had been unfocused all this time, sighed. "Well, for this tournament, I'm actually very excited. I really like fighting, you know. Moreover, it involves money. I have more motivation to become a champion."

"So, what's on your mind." Eric made the final knot on his fellow colonist's left hand.

It took a while before Leva finally answered. "Can you imagine your ex-crush being of the same gender as you?

Well, that's a bizarre situation, indeed.

A small chuckle escaped Eric's mouth. "People say love doesn't look at gender."
