The Intermission

I first thought that I'd be able to fight Ilya after these knockout rounds but turns out we're gonna have a little break. I wore all of my equipment back for the moment but I had to wipe down my body first. It took me a few minutes amidst the shouting, cheering, and curses raining down on the other contestants.

"OH~ SHITTTT~ THE GOLIATH STRIKES AGAIN~!!!" the announcer was getting pumped up beyond reason.

The large guy I saw earlier took out another contestant with a single slap to the face. The only problem with him is that he's too simple and he's taking a few hits before he manages to get his strike in. It doesn't matter if you can take the damage, it still means you're taking some. Sooner or later, it would all pile up and give you problems when you least expect it.
