"Magic is a Cheat honestly. But wouldn't abilities be considered magic?"

"I'll accept abilities like, someone being in peak physical condition, or having a biotic arm that can strengthen punches like I have. But I draw the line when someone can do seven flips in a jump, land on your head and snap your damned neck with their feet. That's not abilities, that's magic."

"Who the hell? Ah Nevermind that's some crazy shit right there."

"It's an example, though I've seen some people do some insane shit too."

"Probably that asshole Jared."

"Nah, I got a pal who met Jared, he's a good guy. Besides, he only killed the guy in self-defense. I gotta take his side on that."

"Well, you can't trust bits and pieces man, I personally think he's all good."

"So what happened?"
-
"Apparently some guy tried to fight him, he killed the bastard in self defense."

"But these are fighting grounds."

"Yeah, but I'm pretty sure there's a no death policy if you don't actually want to die."

"Well now I know the story."
-
"Yup."

"Thank you."
