Xuefeng hopped onto his own stage after wishing good luck to Xiao Wen only to get scolded by the old judge who was suspended in the air above them, "You took your time coming to the stage. Do you think we have whole day?"
It was the same judge that once supervised Pio's battle not that long ago and he didn't seem to care about Xuefeng's importance to Liena.
Xuefeng glanced at Quickshot with questioning gaze but the one only smirked, shrugging. It was easy to guess that Quickshot didn't pass the message about five minute delay to the judge. In that case, Xuefeng wasn't planning to be polite anymore.
"Sir, my opponent agreed to wait five minutes for our battle. He challenged me when I was busy with something. I think it's okay for me to get ready first when I'm being challenged?" Xuefeng informed, bowing to the judge respectfully.
He didn't expect the judge would momentarily turn sides.
