| “ | Mmmmm... Hyoga, you are indeed pretty strong. But your spear thrusts reek of the sweat of hard work. It's all too obvious just how much you've slaved over practicing. And unfortunately, even if you spent your whole life training, you'd never be able to beat me. Because I am a genius. Unlike you with those fake fangs you created through practice and determination... I was the strongest from birth. | „ |
