Tora didn't react to all the booing and belching of taunts the audience directed to the 'human' team. Annoyed, however, he definitely was. Sparks of lightning briefly emitted from his body, though his stature was that of a man who couldn't give less shits about petty words.
βShojo says he wants the fire girl!β
Who? Tora's blinked a few times. Was he going selectively blind, or had nobody entered the ring?
Worrisome...
Whatever had decided to fight with Serafina, the giant could only go with his gut feeling of 'This has bad shit going down written all over it.'
Tora watched in... Well I guess horror -- Yet his neutral expression never seemed to wither away to make place for concern β as Serafina was, being beaten by mere force?
Granted Tora knew very ltitle about any of his team mates, that included their combat power, but he thought that Serafina was given enough credit for that. The trip to Hanging Neck Island most certainly proved that lass' ability to fight, so why not now?
In a flash, the match was over. The scoreboard changing to add a point to the enemy team, and.. Surprisingly the next match didn't need much debate on either side. Even more to Tora's amazements, it was Genji who stood up and took up arms.
βWhatever you are fighting. Kill it.β Was all Tora said, having stepped up along with Genji, though quickly changing his intent to help Serafina stand.
βC'mon, lass.β
Tora slung one of the girl's arms over his shoulder, holding onto her wrist with one hand, and holding her by the waist with the other.
He didn't speak a word, just dragged her to the far wall that separated the crowd from the arena, letting her rest against said wall and standing beside her to watch the... Battle from afar.
