Heartfar did not just floor Candor, but he crippled Candor's meridian nexus too! That meant Candor's career as a martial artist was cut short, as he could not use his vigor at all.
It was both humiliation and torture for a martial artist! However, even as the Zamri participants were glaring at Heartfar furiously and could skin him on the spot, he merely chuckled as he turned toward them.
"What, do you have something to say about that?" He smiled. "It's always the strong's privilege to humiliate the weak—that's a fact. Hell, I don't even have a bone to pick with him. The only reason I crippled him is because he's trash unworthy of the title of martial artist.

Or maybe you're all scared now? "In that case, you could all surrender collectively. If you do, today's qualifier is over, and the four berths will all be decided in a different qualifier held in Riverton." "Alright!" "You're so cool, Mr. Quaker!"

"Weren't you so confident a moment ago, raring for a fight?! How did you turn out to be such a coward?!" "Fight and die! At least you wouldn't be made a joke!" On the other hand, the Zamri participants and audience members were snapping at the fleeing martial artist just as he reached the shore.

Mr. Zoran was left standing helplessly on the floating platform, alone and scowling.
He sighed under his breath. "I told them. They shouldn't have accepted the rule change, but none of them listened." Either way, he knew that it was over for Zamri, as they were not getting a single berth in the qualifiers.
