Assignment Three: Video/Filtered to Illyria

[clampninja]

Illyria-sama.

[Suoh bows respectfully to the video screen]

My name is Takamura Suoh, and I'm one of the judges of the Martial Arts tournament. I was wondering if I could have a moment of your time.

[Illyria's face appears on the screen, her head tilted to the side.]

And a moment you will have. What is it you wish to speak of, Takamura Suoh?

I noticed your entry in the tournament, however... after doing some research I've come to realize that the other fighters might be at a... disadvantage against some one of your caliber.

I mean no disrespect, Illyria-sama, and I don't wish to exclude you from the contest, but I hope you can understand my hesitation for allowing you to fight...

They are weak and will fall before me you mean.

...Perhaps you are right. Perhaps they should earn the chance to challenge me. I will withdraw from your tournament should you agree to offer the victor the chance to confront me. Should they choose to fight me, I will not kill them nor will I hold back. It shall be the ultimate test of the victor's might. Should they choose to not fight me, it will simply confirm my thoughts on most of the inhabitants of this world.

Hm...

[thoughtful nod, finger to his chin]

I see your point, Illyria-sama... that would be something to consider.

Would you be willing to be a judge then? Keep in mind the kind of martial arts we're looking at isn't likely to be anywhere near your level of skill. You'll have to understand that the rest of the judges aren't going to be as harsh as you.
