"Hey you three! Let her-"
"Then let me earn the right to know the truth again. I was not the one who made that decision. It was made for me. All I'm asking for is an opportunity to show my worth."
"Worth? Your worth is that of the dirt! You should be glad you even heard this much! I will not allow you to disgrace the Shandian people with your presence-"
"Hey."
You tap Wyper on the shoulder.
"Shut up."
You glare at him with all the malicious intent you can manage but to your surprise he does not collapse immediately. But he is shocked quite a bit. So much so that he's forgotten what he was saying but a moment ago. However he'll get back to it soon so you better get what you wanted to say out.
"Huh. I thought you'd start drooling. No matter. You will accept her challenge. Or else..."
"Or else what?"
"Or else you'll look like a big weenie who doesn't dare to fight someone he considers weak. So chose. Get your butt kicked by one of my strongest comrades or you're a big fat coward."
Hagetaka smiles and mutters something under her breath.
"Thank you captain..."
"I see no problem with it."
Chief nods.
"You are Shandian. It's in your right to prove your worth."
" Very well... I'll destroy you and show the weakness of your bloodline to everyone. Then you'll get out and fade into obscurity like you should've.
Everyone gets up from their seats and you go out through the front door. The other guards are looking at you and they start whistling once they realize what's going on.
"Hey. Check it out! Wyper is mad! This is going to be great!"
The two fighters take their positions and Wyper tightens the wraps around his arm in preparation.
"Fair warning! Don't think I'll hold back even a little against you just because you're a woman. You decided to be here. You must bear the consequences!"
But as usual Hagetaka simply ignores him and looks at you.
"Captain. I swear to you. I won't use my full strength against him. No matter what."
"Nah. Kick his butt!"
"No. I want to do it like this!"
"Do whatever you want. It won't change a thing!"
"That may be the first correct statement you made your entire life. I fear it may be the last."
