King wasn't quite as hard as Gloria or as adept at messing with peoples' heads as Takumi - but still, he was more than adequately quick on his feet and with his wits, which allowed him to immediately understand Gloria's plan and keep up with her movements without stumbling, being dragged behind her or getting his arm yanked out of the socket by his incredibly mighty comrade. His own left hand, already pale due to disturbed blood flow, too wrapped around Gloria's forearm with all the strength he could muster in order to more safely tether him to his battering ram of a partner as he followed behind her like a railroad carriage would follow the locomotive. Of course, he didn't forget her warning and so, dutifully watched her back and flanks - and was quite effective at it, for he came to the class prepared for exactly the type of training where [b]Noble[/b] Arms would be prohibited. In an wondrously swift, almost unnoticeable movement, his free hand suddenly turned out to hold a quite long, very sharp and, most importantly, utterly mundane knife - it was a mystery how he managed to hide it properly inside of his gym pants, but the fact of it now being in his hands remained undisputed and turned out to be a very effective way of warding off any would-be attackers that attempted to most dishonorably and cowardly tag Gloria from behind or attempt to make her vulnerable by dragging the King away - the chinaman swung his weapon in a seemingly wild and agressive pattern, making sure that nobody would dare to enter his control zone, but still carefully enough in order to not be disarmed by some wannabe martial artist. This ancient and venerable technique - being unafraid to use a knife and walking in pairs with a trusted battle-mate in order to automatically un-freeze each other despite all tries to tag you both - was probably as old as the game of tag itself and allowed King to remain victorious throughout countless games on the grim, dangerous streets of his unspecified homecity in Taiwan and it sure as hell would not let him and Gloria down now.
