You did it!

......

Lugina, you really did it!

......

This probably means that our mission has been accomplished.

But since we haven't received any word from the Hall, we should probably wait for Lin to get back to us, huh?

Karl, you...

Huh?

When did I ask you to stick up for me?!

Wh-What?!

I said...

When did I ask you to stick up for me regarding Zagamlung?!

I-I wasn't sticking up for you...

I just told the truth, didn't I?

You and your big mouth!!

And what were you trying to say with all that?!

That you're above me or something?!

The great and powerful Karl...

...defending his weakling of a subordinate, as his duty demands it?!

N-No, that's not how I meant it...

I've run out of patience...

I've always thought we'd have to settle this someday.

And today's a good a day as ever.

Get ready!

Wha?!

I'm sorry.

I really didn't mean for my actions to come across that way.

If I really offended you, then I'll apologize...

So...

......

......

You still wanna fight me regardless, huh?

Obviously.

I have no interest in your stupid apology!

......

All right then.

The truth is that I've always wanted to fight you seriously, at least once.

Hah, looks like you finally found your guts then...

Hans!

You'll be our audience! So just stand there and watch!

......

Well, it looks like you're ready to go...

Today we'll finally find out which of us is really the strongest.

Come at me!!
