"Checkmate, Shye Crowley." Percy's voice sounded, a few tones deeper than usual.
On his face was a serenely confident smile as he pointed his tachi at Shye, all while in a "cool" sideways pose.
'This poser...' Shye mused, smiling mockingly at the delusional rookie.
"Hahahaha! What checkmate? Look at yourself, you look dusty and ugly as heck. I think you're the one about to collapse!" He insulted, bringing yet another wave of intense frustration in Percy's heart.
Shye had been mocking him since earlier, yet, people still took the bastard's side, laughing at his mocking words aimed at him.
'Being a kind and approachable person...is it truly a disadvantage in the world?' The poser lamented as though he was one such person.
"Hmmph! I see that you still don't understand the position you are in. Fine then, let's continue!"
"Yeah, just continue. I don't even understand why you stopped attacking just to pose, idiot."
Gnashing his teeth in anger, Percy once again charged forth, closing the almost nonexistent gap between the two of them.
He then slashed his tachi diagonally downwards, aiming to split Shye into two pieces.
Unfortunately for him, Shye, a warrior, would never panic in such a point-blank range, hence, he was easily able to swiftly aim his staff towards Percy and shoot a basic fireball.
'Tch!'
Having no choice but to deal with the enormous blazing ball, the poser was forced to redirect his attack towards Shye's spell, successfully splitting it in half.
However, he underestimated its power.
Although destroyed, the fireball was so potent that Percy suffered a few moderate burns from its lingering embers.
Now, his once handsome look was utterly ruined, making it so that even if he posed the coolest pose he could think of, he would still look ugly.
Percy knew that this was only temporary but still, it annoyed him to no end.
'SHYE CROWLEY!! I VOW I'LL MAKE YOU PAY!!'
Her voice was so loud that even Shye, who was fighting in the middle of the stage, could hear it, bringing a slight smile to his face.

'Hahahaha! That damn midget. She learned well!' Shye mused.
He was so relaxed that he even had the luxury to indulge in his thoughts while defending himself at point-blank range from Percy's furious attacks.
Naturally, such lax expression only served to increase the anger in Percy's heart.
Luckily, after one more clash between an elemental staff and a tachi, the poser was able to grab Shye's staff.
"Caught you, bastard!! Timekeeper's fortress!"
Overwhelmed by emotions, Percy exclaimed the name of his skill, giving Shye, who already had insanely fast reflexes, ample time to react.
'Idiot...Shadow Swap!'
Just when the transparent orb was about to touch and freeze him, Shye suddenly disappeared, erasing the furious yet triumphant smile on Percy's face.
If one was perceptive enough to look at the ground, one would see that Percy's hands were now grabbing the shadow of Shye's elemental staff.
"Why? Why the hell would you shout your skill's name? Why are you such an idiot?"
Shye's voice sounded from beside Percy, causing him to turn his head with an angry expression upon realizing what happened.
One of his trump cards...Timekeeper's fortress...was evaded by the hateful bastard.
"YOU!!" Percy, out of words as his heart dangerously raced in anger, could do nothing but point his tachi angrily at Shye while shaking in utter fury.
To make things worse, Corey's voice suddenly echoed:
"P-PERCY PHONE'S TRUMP CARD LANDED ON NOTHING BUT AIR!! SHYE CROWLEY OUTWITS THE ENIGMATIC ROOKIE, HIS ENRAGED SELF EXPOSED FOR EVERYONE TO SEE!!!"
Shortly after, someone on the stage...turned into an azure ray of light.
