The days went by quickly and eventually, Kane's match rolled up. Ten days passed by very quickly.

"Relax, you'll do just fine," Rui reassured him. "Your plan is solid."

"Fuuu…" He exhaled deeply as he tried relaxing his nerves.

It wasn't every day that he was to compete in a death match where only one person was allowed to come out alive. This was not the same as risking his life on a mission or on the battlefield.

As an evasive maneuverer, he had great confidence in his ability to evade danger and death by simply removing himself from a given circumstance or situation. He was extremely fast and nimble, and it was difficult for people to tag him.

This gave him comfort and reassurance at the back of his mind.
