The harder an opponent was to beat, the more reason there was to give it everything.
In this match—
What Netero admired most about Moyu was not the preparation he had made before the fight, but the determination he showed during it: his refusal to stop searching for a chance even when the odds seemed hopeless.
Netero's steady gaze pierced the drifting dust and settled on the blurred figure behind it.
"Ho ho..."
Netero stroked his beard out of habit.
There was no need for him to check Moyu's injuries. He turned and left.

Fiona let out a long breath.
She gazed at Moyu in silence,
