While the fight was going on, Damien found himself shaking his head at Hisoka's arrogance. He reached into his pack grabbing that tattered leather binding, deciding to read, though keeping a small eye on the fight, paying attention to the abilities being displayed to gauge any weaknesses. Towards the end of the fight, Damien closed the book, putting it away before looking at the fight again, as the fight stalled with their weapons pointed at each other. He leaned forward in his seat curiously as Hisoka gave up. Raising a brow, he expected it to be a tactic, which would have been smarter than he thought Hisoka was capable of. Not that smart of a tactic, but smart enough. He was disappointed when he see's that Hisoka was serious. Chalk that up to two weaknesses: Arrogance, and lack of tactics.

His attention was diverted, when the arena started to freeze over. He turned towards Kireina with a calculated expression, before retuning his gaze on the arena, almost amused. He hoped the arena didn't change if he was the next person to fight, though he doubted that. He was, after all, an unknown. The teachers probably knew what his ability was, but the students didn't. And, that's how he wanted it. Not to mention even the teachers didn't know anything about him prior to the academy. If they did... that was not something worth thinking about now.

A voice cut the air as the girl Hisoka was fighting changed the arena back, and reprimanded Kireina. Damien mentally shrugged. He should've figured. They probably want the arena to be standard for these particular fights. He continued to listen as it was mentioned that the next fight would be later, and that everyone should prepare just in case. He shook his head, slinging his pack over his shoulder. He certainly wouldn't be preparing. He wouldn't need it. It wasn't the he, himself was arrogant, he just had no plans to use or even reveal his abilities before it became necessary. He would rely on his weapon only. Some might see it as a foolish move, but it paints him in a lower light to everyone. The more people underestimated him, the greater advantage. That and he was used to keeping his power secret, when most normal people feared, or hated him because of his power.
