Well that was a little anticlimactic, Runch had thought. He sincerely hadn't expected his opponent to take his words at face value and conduct a proper retreat like that. It was... Surprising. All for the better for certain, but surprising none the less. Even though the pirate captain lacked the necessary supernatural senses to see the stand's nigh infinite forms lurking about, nonetheless a wave of ease washed over him as they departed with their master. Still, the entire situation felt highly uncomfortable. Was the College now attacking the other contestants as well? Did that mean the tournament was considered to be over? Not judging by the boy's words, no. He had already put some thought into this before but had been distracted with the fight. Now things had a bit more clarity. If the tournament was still on but they were attacking contestants, did that mean the College wasn't as unified as they portrayed? And if there was such a fracture, what side would Oren be on, if Runch had decided to report the situation to the "referee?"

Yet another thought entered K. Runch's mind. These twins displayed stands, that much was verified by the journal he had carried, but did they come from the same world as Motley? He found it possible, but pretty unlikely. That meant those stands had to come from somewhere, right? An idea hatched in the cap'n's head and he charged toward the last place he had heard the young man speaking from. [color=turquoise]"Hey! Hey! Wait up!"[/color] he cried out, hoping to get the kid's attention. [color=turquoise]"I have no intention of losing, and you know I won't pose a danger with my wish! But I'm startin' to get [i]real[/i] tired of these invisible stand things! How'd you two get them? How can I get one? I just want to be able to see what I'm fighting, and maybe get a little extra firepower in this crazy city! I refuse to lose to the monsters, to the gentlemen, and to the College itself! But as long as I'm aiming to make happiness spread, doesn't it make sense to help me out?"[/color]
