章 224: Chapter 224:All-Out-War [3]

Accepting loss before even starting.

A loser's mindset.

Maybe it was during his first real loss with Ren that he realized... or maybe even earlier.

Looking up at the incoming Bertus and his electric sword, Liam realized something.

He didn't want to lose.

He never wanted to lose again.

"Losing makes you stronger!"

No, it doesn't.

The words are right... but the mindset that comes with those words is wrong.

Sure, if you lose, you're bound to get stronger as you'll realize what you did wrong and improve on those things.

But by saying those words, you're already accepting the fact that losing is a possibility.

If you've done that, you've already lost.

In this hopeless situation, with his clothes tattered and all muddy, facing inevitable defeat by an electric sword, Liam said one thing.

"I guess I'll win."

It was easy to say that... but it was hard to carry it out.
