Bakuto vs Rhine[/h3][/center]
Rhine's quiet energy combined with Bakuto's sudden shift in tone made for one intense moment. The crowd could feel the intensity too, because for a brief moment the entire stadium went quiet. Then, the gong rang once more. The match had begun. 

Neither combatant rushed into battle, it was more of a careful sizing up of the opponent, especially for Rhine. He stepped forward, one well placed step at a time. He knew this match would be harder than the rest, not only because the opponent was better than the others, but also the arena was bigger. It would be harder to win by ring-out. He might have to go about this differently.
