Konrad (Suikoden IV) |

Bearing a rare and elusive Rage Rune, and knowing very well how to use it for maximal destructive effect against all he faces, the earliest of the known Tenkyu Stars is ready for his debut in the Dueling League at last! His first opponent is a girl... wielding a very large sword. Okay, that's not exactly the best opponent for him, though the visual is, quite admittedly, nice, but then again, her magic durability isn't the greatest of things either. This makes her absolutely perfect bait for his Rage Rune! A Final Flame here, an Explosion there, and victory should be well in his grasp! |

Hmph. Paine returns to fight for glory in the dueling league (anything to keep her away from Rikku's hyperactive nonsense for just a moment), and it's time for someone to get hurt. Armed with a huge sword and a powerful physical attack skillset to match, she fights...a frail old spellcasting man. Right. She probably just needs to point her weapon in the opponent's general direction for him to collapse, but Magic Break should certainly add insult to the injury as the Gullwing prepares to advance to the next round without breaking a sweat despite her opponent's red-hot magics. |
SageAcrin Many matches in the Duelling League's history have been boring, uninteresting messes that usually someone screws around in rather than fighting normally. The general theory is that the gods like it that way. (General polling techniques of local gods seems to confirm this. 8 out of 10 gods polled did indeed agree, and Odin was really wasted that morning after a kegger, so he may have just answered no to be an ass. Profound Darkness, meanwhile, obviously answered no to be an ass.) Regardless, few matches were as uninteresting as this one. No crowd. No vendors. No duellers. No judges Wait a second, no duellers and judges..? It was true. Paine and Konrad, by mutual agreement, had slept in that morning. (The match was schedueled for 4:30 AM, perhaps part of it's lack of appeal. Profound Darkness also did this to be an ass. It's a pity she tends to eat the people that censure her. No, not that way.) The judges, meanwhile, were simply too tired to notice. They'd planned on sleeping in that match and hoping that no one noticed. (Except Momo. But for Momo, reading a book absorbs her more than the average person's sleep. Same difference.) And so, the least interesting match in Duelling League officially had no winner. Two days later, a judges panel, recognizing that this could not be allowed, retconned Paine as the winner. They had videos and everything. Very dramatic. Let this be a lesson to you all, however. Sleep in. It's less boring than whatever the hell you have to do at those god-awful hours. Konrad: 10 |
