Match Two loaded at 1000.
His opponent's profile: GRAVECROWN. Level 49. B-rank. Dual sword specialist. Win rate: 76%. The profile image showed a fighter in light segmented armor with two blades crossed over the chest in the specific configuration of someone who had spent significant time on their profile image and wanted you to know about it.
"Dirty Grandpa," GRAVECROWN said. "Interesting name for a tournament participant."
"It has history," Zeph said.
"How old are you actually."
"Old enough to be here," Zeph said. "Young enough to care about the answer."
GRAVECROWN laughed—genuine, which was unexpected and which Zeph filed as: this opponent is comfortable. Comfortable opponents were either very good or overconfident and the distinction mattered.
The match timer hit zero.
GRAVECROWN was fast.
