A rare midget is here.

He's weird. Why is he moving like a fool? He looks strong. Why is he backing up?

He is skilled. When I threw him, he got up quickly, so I was interested and also disappointed.

His kick was heavy, he is strong, it was fast, he is quick, but he still missed.

I understand. I forgive him for that. I've missed attacks too, but why does he let himself get hit? I don't get it.

I saw it. I perceived it. If he threw punches at his opponent, he would beat him easily, but he prefers to receive them with a strange posture.

Ridiculous. Dumb. That's no good. Don't do it. Attack. Don't waste your talent. Defending yourself is useless against absolute strength. I know it. I experienced it myself when I smashed weak old men and when I was defeated by a strong old man.

Blocking is useless. Just punch and punch.

Yes, just like that! Well done, well done. Now go up to him and finish it. Run, don't walk!... What? Why are you stopping? Why are you standing still? Why are you doing the same stupid thing again?

Idiot. Idiot. Idiot. Attack him, don't wait, attack him. Beat him. Kill him. Do something, you fucking brat. Don't stand there like an asshole while they're beating you.

Fool. Why the hell are you repeating the same hit? It was clear that you would miss it.

Let go of him. Scumbag, don't grab him. You're not worthy of winning with that way of fighting. You're a useless bastard who doesn't deserve to be alive. Let him go, that if he doesn't kill you, I'll do it.

I knew it. You're strong. What a waste.

If I do it fast, will the master allow me to kill him? I just need to run and hit him in the head. It's just to do that, to prevent the master from seeing this shameful thing...

Nice hit. Well done. Keep it up, and you'll survive.

No! Don't run, you fucking coward! Running won't save you. Before you escape, I'll come after you to tear you to piec-... oh!

What did he do? I didn't see him. How did he stumble? No, it doesn't matter. Asshole, hit him, don't miss this opportunity, show that you're not just a scumbag.

Yes. Yes, that's all you had to do. So easy and simple. One hit in the right spot was enough. What? A brat died? I don't care. It's worth it if it helps him get better.

You must improve. You can improve. I will force you to get stronger. We cannot waste your talent, so I will ask the master to allow me to make you better.

But, for now, I will encourage you to be.

''Clap; Clap; Clap…''

. . .

You're up to that stupid thing again.

You are strong, but like the other idiots, you lack intelligence.

How can I convey to you that doing so does not work? You must attack. Attack to kill or be killed. You need experience. You need a guide, but you're so dumb you won't understand what I tell you.

What do I do?

Finally, you threw a blow. Useless. If you repeat the same attack as always, it is clear that you will miss it. That's okay. Losing will serve as a lesson.

Did you win? I didn't expect it. You surprised me. You've grown. Well done.

You connected a good kick. Very strong. Very deadly. I'll try it. I'll have to practice it. It might be helpful to attack like that.

. . .

Nice. Nice. Nice. I like that. You're still growing. You're doing it quickly. You recently showed a humiliating scene, but now you've changed.

You fight weird, but you do it well.

Punch. Punch. Punch. Why doesn't it fall? Strange, with so many hits, your enemy should be dead by now.

What happened to your strength? Are you weak from hunger? It's your fault, if you didn't hide we could do this later.

You need to eat later. You're fine. Keep it up. I didn't believe it, but I was wrong. I accept it. Taking hits doesn't help, but running away from them doesn't either. Dodging them, that looks good. I thought that only the weak did it. I thought it would be humiliating for the powerful, but...

I will train more.

The fight is over. As expected, he won, but what's wrong? Why didn't you finish it off? Wait. Maybe you... I see.

You are like me. You are a naive fool. You're smarter than everyone else, but you lack courage. I understand. I lacked that too, but not anymore.

Master, for you, I will prepare him. I will make him as strong as me. After that, we will go together to take revenge against the old bastards who attacked us.

The three of us, we will kill them. Only the powerful ones here will do it. All the others are weak, useless, and garbage, so they will serve as his food. Yes, they will sacrifice themselves so that he will grow healthy and strong.

But before that, I will give him a lesson. I will do it the same way you taught me, master.
