Through fire and ice, fang and claw... He stands... Unbroken!

(Mein gott... what a journey... Was it a week? Two weeks...? But little by little, as the fights became smoother... Truly, seizing victory by the skin of one's teeth time and time again was sublime, indeed...)

Beastly, Truly!

(The collection aspect was fun, and the Crucible is an engaging challenge... but the Third Degrees are quite punishing >_> only done with the first board's and pondering if the rest should be challenged post- or pre-balancing... 😅)

"AND YOUR WINNER, AND STILL THE CHAMPION..."

"As if there was ever any doubt. For all your big words, this is what you amount to, Rayles. That is where you belong. To all you jobbers watching backstage: If you think you have what it takes to step up, you're. next."

“RAYLES IS IN A BAD WAY, FOLKS… THE CHALLENGER LOOKS OUT OF IT! IS THIS IT FOR THE CHALLENGER?!”

“It’s been fun, truly, Rayles, but I think it’s time we ended this charade… You never stood a chance against me. Never.”

“N- no… m- mercy… mer- mmmgh!!!”

"Tsk, you barely lasted 15 seconds, Rayles. Don't tell me you're all gassed out.

How about a breather? Just lie back and let the ref count to 10. Not like you'll have much choice, anyway!

... Scratch that, you can count to 20, ref. He's not. going. anywhere!!"

“Tsk, I told you to say it; not tap out, Rayles! You're in for it now!!!”

“ARGHHH NO!!!”

“SCREAM FOR ME, RAYLES!!! GIVE. UP!!!”

“N- NO! NO! I CAN’T- ARGHHHHHHH

"SAY IT!!!"

“1-0, Rayles. And we’re just getting started… Feel that? These thighs... the weight of a champion on you right there. You’re going to get well acquainted with these bad boys before the match is done… If you can last that long, that is. Ask him, ref.”

“I… I- gi…ve…”

"Hah... why won't you... stay... down!?"

"All gassed out, Rayles? All you need is one point to my *eight* to win, and yet... Best brace yourself, jobber."

"... After all, this belt was far too heavy a burden for you. It's mine now to bear, and you can bet I intend to savour every moment of it... for a long, long time to come..."
「……お前には、このベルトは少々荷が重すぎたようだな。だから、ここからは僕が背負っていく。その重みも、この栄光も……僕はじっくりと味わわせてもらう。これから先、ずっと、ずっと長い間な。」

"Hm? Awake, are you? Fret not, you don't have to worry about the belt any more; I'll look after it from here on out... As the victor of our match, of course."
「おや、目が覚めたか?安心しろ。もうベルトのことは気にしなくていい。ここから先は、この僕が預かっておくからな。……もちろん、試合に勝った者として。」
