Bab 72: Mind over matter

Kelly wasn't too happy with their decision to suddenly change her opponent for the first round. Previously, she expected to face a fighter in an exosuit. The tournament's digital brochure mentioned that the challenger would go up against an elite fighter in the first round. 

It was supposed to be a type of gladiatorial combat inside an arena. Kelly was more than happy to face human opponents in single combat. People were predictable, and she knew how to deal with most conventional weapons. However, fighting wild hybrids was far more challenging. 

Kelly knew all these changes were only being made because she had psionic abilities. She only hoped they wouldn't introduce another new game mode for tomorrow's round.
