The battle (2)

Hikaru was a bit amused, but his face showed no sign of it. He tried to show as little emotion as possible. Even though he already knew the outcome of this war, he wouldn't tell the truth.

"Of course, Sherwin will win. Why did you ask like that?"

Morital frowned at Hikaru, who spoke with absolute certainty, as if he already knew the outcome. This made Morital even more confused. Then he asked: "Why are you so sure?"

"Because I know he's strong." Hikaru replied.

He frowned and looked at Hikaru for a long time, seemingly not finding anything. He said, "That's stupid. You and Sherwin are alike; overconfident in your abilities to the point of being foolish."

Hikaru didn't get angry either. On the contrary, he was a bit happy that Morital had underestimated him. However, he pretended to be a little annoyed and said, "So you think Sherwin will lose."
