Some Breathing Space

The headgear man looked like a WWE wrestler. The most impressive thing about him were his bulging muscles, which shined as if they had been smeared with olive oil. The bumblebee pattern on his headgear looked very life-like.

The black flag he planted was called the duel flag, the kind that needed a rather high level of authority to exchange for - at least a rank of Reserve-duty Major General. The guy was not that simple-minded after all. Besides threatening them with force, he also displayed his strength so as to avoid unnecessary fighting.
