Being a hero means that you oppose evil and all of it's tools. One of these tools is particularly sinister: Propaganda. Evil revels in denigrating it's foes and turning them into nothing, depriving them of respect and support. In such a vein, Algus may talk a good game. He'll go on about how his foe can't be much of anything, just a self taught mage. What he doesn't want you to know is that FuSoYa is an ancient master and guardian, having learned every spell of both White and Black magic. In reality, FuSoYa is more than capable of destoying Algus with a potent volley of Flares or Holys, let alone Toad, Piggy or Minis. Even if Algus withstands that, Meteo will turn him into nothing more than a paste on the arena floor. What can Algus do about that, shoot a crossbow at him?
