You weren't entirely sure what the rift mages had to gain by having some sort of tournament. But then again you had no idea what these weirdos did in their off time either. A lot about this world was still strange to you, even if you could navigate it fairly well using your knowledge of popular culture, video games and tv tropes. Still... breaking away from Kyoya for a bit and taking part in something where you got to smash someone to the ground for a little bit might actually help calm your nerves, odd as it sounded.

"All right, step right up and try to beat up your very own Strider. Now for a limited time, they're going fast folks," you say as you step up to the ring. You drop your weapons and sack down, knowing you wouldn't need those to fight. Luckily your armor felt light enough, you could probably wrestle in it. You'd find out, you supposed.
