Bab 156: Unwilling To Admit Defeat.

Ghaster sighed. "So everyone is talking about the beatings I received."

"That's safe to say. I mean, if I found out about it then it should be commonplace by now."

Ghaster shook his head. "But she is refusing to fight me now. Viki has been promoted to the fighting proficiency stage recently. Maybe the notoriety of our fights is why she is refusing my challenge. She said that I am not a challenge to her now and I was never one. The only thing that has changed is that I'll make her rusty by indulging in my interest in masochistic self-abuse. She said while it was fun to release her tension by beating me up, it must not come in the way of her martial pursuit."

"Then she isn't bad. She has a good grasp of her goals and what's of importance to her. She isn't hotheaded like you. I hope you learned that much from her."
