"I knew I'd end up fighting Marino." Vernon's heart pounded hard, so hard he could practically hear it echoing in his ears.
Sweat poured down his body, which was now visibly muscular, even though the fight hadn't even started. No matter what, he had to defeat Marino, a fighter who was not only much more experienced but had an intimidating reputation in the world of Vagon fighters.
But could he actually win?
All the confidence Vernon had just moments before faded away the second he faced Marino, who clearly had a deep hatred for him. This was his opponent's chance to unleash all that anger without anyone to hold him back. It was going to make things even worse for Vernon.
Even though Vernon had beaten two other rank-B fighters from different BootCamps, fighting Marino was a different story. It was tougher, on a whole new level.
