You step up as your name and elements are called by Roby, into the next match of the Tournament of the Sources. You prepare yourself and your elements to fight, but are snapped out of your thoughts as you hear the opponent Roby calls out: Nokt, the elemental master of brute force.

You had heard things about him, like how he was part of a group called the "Forbidden Five," who had been corrupted by power and sent to the Nether Space. You had also occasionally passed by him while in a small group with who you assume was his master and someone else, both of whom always glared down when you walked by. But strangely enough, now that you think about it, he never had, only ever just glancing in your direction

Roby calls out to begin the match, and you quickly move, focusing on winning rather than fighting knowing your opponent's reputation. But you seem to have underestimated him, as in the next moment, he was in front of you blocking your way. You quickly conjure your powers and try to blast him, and to no one's surprise he dodges, conjuring up his own powers to attack you and-

He misses.

You temporarily falter, caught off guard by his miss, considering you didn't even have time to react and dodge it yourself. But you quickly regain your composure and prepare to fight back and focus on winning and moving on. But with every one of his attacks, he either misses or gives you an easy way of dodging, and with every one of your attacks he dodges, and even (obviously lets) you hit him once or twice. It was odd, seeing this ancient evil being, known for never giving up from a fight even to the point of killing their opponent, practically..not try against you. You couldn't be that good, right?

No, he was definitely not trying. He was obviously going easy on you, a shock considering how he fought before, while his master yelled at him about something to do with a "Wolf Mask," the woman beside him glaring coldly as she watches the fight, and the crowd begins to murmer in confusion.
