You find yourself in the middle of the arena, about to fight a new battle after your mouth has gone dry attempting to defend yourself in the Court of Fontaine. Were you guilty? Who knows at this point, it was all a matter of opinion... So you believe. But the people think differently, and so does the Iudex himself. No matter.

"...Draw your weapon. Get ready."

The Champion Duelist across from you said in a relaxed yet cold tone, her rapier gleaming from end to end.

You could remember the stories of how people acted in the face of death. Some surrender on the spot weakly, others break down into despair. Others welcome the cold embrace of death. You? A rather relaxed smile falls on your face. You are met with the Champion Duelist with a flawless track record. Potentially the fiercest opponent in the whole nation. Yet, you are calm. Maybe, you could win... Or maybe you are just being delusional as always.
