"They're not really fighting."
[Huh?]
"Yes, I know it looked as if they're fighting, but it's a tournament."
Thirteen became even more confused. What was a tournament? Just before reaching the fighting platform, Nox had placed Thirteen in the taming space. Now, he was trying to convince the panda that it was a tournament.
"I shouldn't have used 'tournament'... how about this: it's like a game, and they're competing to see who is stronger."
[Stronger?]
"Yes, to know who is stronger, so we just watch."
[Nyx? Friend?] The panda pouted. He really wanted to help Nyx in the fight. In Thirteen's mind, Wendy was no different from the ants back in that dimension.
In fact, all enemies were like that—they should be crushed! The panda's eyes glowed. Fluffington lazily yawned and licked his paws. [This battle maniac is just finding an excuse to join the fight, don't mind him, brat.]
