Season 54, Week 3
Vinsfeld Rhadamanthus
(Wild Arms 2)
 
It's time for Edward to incur the wrath of Vinsfeld! Having dispatched one impure foe already, Vinsfield won’t dare be slowed by a mere bard, as he fights for PURE IDEALS and for a better tomorrow for all of Filgaia! A cowardly musician should be composing ballads about Vinsfield’s glory, not trying to stop his quest! For this grievous miscalculation in judgment, Edward must pay. He can try to run and hide, but it will come to little, for, when he finally emerges, the dreadful wrath of Vinsfeld will destroy him. What can he do to oppose it? Sing a song? Hah! Nothing that can compare to the PURE IDEALS that power Vinsfeld! Victory is assured.

The Bard's brave victory over Karn shall be sung of for weeks to come! Edward has made his performance legendary, finally reclaiming the dignity he lost when he was branded as the “spoony bard.” It is time for Vinsfeld "Pure Ideals" Rhadamantus to sample a taste of the great bard who felled Karn the Thief. Edward will Hide, Heal and attack whenever the opportunity allows. Against such tenacious tactics, the leader of Odessa will be powerless! The Spoony Bard shall reveal to the world the powers of music! March with him into a bright new future! Pause for applause!


Bardiche
"You spoony bard! You can't beat Vinsfeld!"

"Oh? And why not?"

"He has Pure Ideals!"

"... pure ideals?"

-------

In the end, Edward never showed up to the fight. No one could honestly blame him, because the bard's combat prowess is one of those obscure little things that hardly anyone knows about. In fact, those that attended had come to cheer on Vinsfeld and watch a real bloody slaughter. None of that happened.

Still, there was cause for celebration. Edward had cancelled his appearance in the match to research just what Vinsfeld's Pure Ideals were. Despite his noble goal, the jury had to award Vinsfeld the victory.

And so, while Edward lost the match, he gained the attention of many curious eyes, hopeful that maybe he, the spoony bard, would be able to unearth the truth behind the mystery of the leader of Odessa's ideals.
