Lapistia

He shouldn't have been given the belt; perhaps they should have slowly worn him down in Tao-Ryu. But that way, the chances of winning, according to my calculations, were lower...
Iwamoto lowered his head. Before the fight, he was almost certain that this time everything would be alright. But what happened again could hardly be called order. Ascanius could have become a very useful member of the "Crimson Dawn," but he didn't... He performed the usual rituals of paying respects to the fallen, took his equipment, and left the arena.
If I meet Gak, I'll give him Ascanius's equipment.

It seems to me, or are the Taoists overpowered?

If I have to fight a Chinese warrior, we'll test this thesis...
