Chapter 49: Pinch II

After the tournament ends its first day, Ray and Ryo head towards the inn to rest. Although it's just a second round, Ray drains his mental strength to figure out his opponent's tactics.

Ryo faces a prominent opponent in the second round; his knuckles scratch a little. Thankgod they got to rest before continuing the tournament. If the tournament continues until night, they might get exhausted or other injuries.

Hendrick also told them to rest and warn them not to train tonight; it's because they have been training for two weeks straight. Hendrick didn't want Ray and Ryo to use their extra energy.

As usual, all of them stay at Ray's bed. Bell is the most excited; he impresses Ray and Ryo's performance in the tournament.

"You two are badass."

Bell said with an excited tone.

"Hm, wait until we reach the final that is where the real fight starts."

Ryo said it with confidence.

"But you better win first before you reach the final"

Ray nonchalantly tease Ryo.
