>>5231375Before walking back, you move to help Recoome up next, helping him walk out of the ring. Guldo’s a little surprised, but you just give him a thumb’s up. “Good match, guys. And hey, no hard feelings, right? Had to play things up for the crowds, y’ know?”
Guldo lets out a quiet “Ohh…” He then nods. “Of course, of course.”
Recoome gives you a thumbs up through a pained groan. Okay, better fix that. You heal him a bit too, get him back on his feet. There we go! Pantea meanwhile heats the ring to melt the ice before heading back with you. As you walk, you also telepathically ask Guldo, ‘Hey there! So… pointers for dealing with Chiaotzu, right?’
‘Oh yeah! Yeah yeah yeah. So, what you really need to look out for with ‘em is something we kinda worked on together a while back. Never got it to work as well myself, but he’s definitely perfected it by now.’
Well that’s got your attention. ‘Oh?’
‘Energy Backfires. You try to overwhelm him with beams or blasts? Some of those won’t leave your hand, and if you try to force it… bam! You hurt yourself in the process. It can happen suddenly, too, so be careful.’
Ahhh… that’s actually pretty creative. ‘Any tells to it?’
‘Uses a good amount more focus than normal, though again, it can happen suddenly. If he ever really starts looking focused, stop blasting immediately.’
