Dagger
It was refreshing to be fighting. I didn't realize how much I needed it until I started fighting in the tournament. The only downside was that I was worried about Hope, and had no way of checking on her. Even if I had managed to finish my fights in record time, it wasn't enough time to go see her.
After my second fight, I made my way to the front to pick up my next ball and see who my next opponent was. I found Hope staring at the board with the names. I moved closer and searched for her name. I found it next to Ice's.
"Ice is your next opponent?" I asked, knowing how stupid that was as soon as the words left my mouth.
"Looks like it," she said in a tone I couldn't identify.
"You are going to be fine," I said, trying to cheer her up.
"Do I have a chance? Could I defeat him?"
