Billy>Kanon:
Kanon laughed.
Her opponent was such a fool.
As she calmly scaled the massive, several thousand foot rock facing, smoothly shooting past treacherously angled, paper smooth and ice-covered sections of cliff on her wire hook, she couldn't help but chuckle slightly.
Challenging her to a rock climbing contest? For a finals? What kind of an idiot would risk such a thi...
Wait.
No one would.
As Kanon stopped in thought, she noticed, for the first time, a massive roaring sound.

It's just too bad it didn't work. A few hours later, Max took the risk anyways, and won.
On the upside, it inadvertently bolstered his good, heroic reputation, I suppose.
I guess the old song's right.
A silent knight is a holy knight.
