Kiera Olsen: ?
Even from this distance, she could feel the intense hostility radiating from James Olsen.
What was up with her cousin tonight?
Wasn't he warmly helping her yesterday, and now he's giving her this attitude?
Kiera Olsen wanted to get things clear, "Is there some sort of misunderstanding between us?"
"There's no misunderstanding."
James Olsen narrowed his eyes and stared hard at her, speaking in a measured tone, "As per the Freeman Sect rules, no mercy should be shown in the sparring ring, so think carefully, are you sure you want to compete?"
Kiera Olsen, seeing that he wasn't going to explain, couldn't be bothered to ask again and simply nodded, "Yes."
"Fine, then don't blame me for being unmerciful!"
James Olsen turned and entered the yard, taking up position in the center.
Kiera Olsen followed him in.
The conversation of the Outer Sect Disciples from the Freeman Sect could be heard nearby:
"Why has the Second Senior Brother personally shown up today?"
