Shoyo's Discouragement
When Satoshi first looked at the matchups for the third round, he already expected to be in the first fight and Yun Zhe in the last fight. That's why it didn't surprise him when he saw that he was in the first match. It was a running trend of the Official Beast Tournament and at this point, it didn't shock him at all.
To his relief, his group wasn't matched with someone he knew, which was a good thing since he wanted his acquaintances to reach the fourth round. If they were to win the third round together, then the quarterfinals would be like a tournament among friends and acquaintances.
He also wasn't surprised when he realized that Yun Zhe was still in the mix. After all, he did promise to see Satoshi in the finals. Of course, he's got the skills to back up such a promise.
