FAN FAVORITES
Fend's PL: 50,000
Ah, the Budokai Grounds. The finals of the 25th Tenka'ichi sure didn't feel like they were over half a year ago- time had flown fast for the guardian of Korin Tower. Fend had returned to the once-bustling tourney grounds in search of more training. She'd been spending most of her time teaching her students, trying to research more about the Lookout and Palibur, or just pursuing her own hobbies- it was well past time to return to her roots and pursue her own personal training."UHHHHHHHHHHH..."
The fighting grounds, while certainly crowded, where nowhere near as busy as they had been during the Budokai. Being able to extend her arms out without touching anyone felt strange. The apparent lack of an audience, though, didn't dampen Fend's plans to search for opponents...
...However, the sudden ruckus stirred by her arrival certainly did put a hole in her plans for the day.
"Is that Fend? Like, the Fend that was in the Budokai, right?" The crowds started passing whispers at first, before starting to congregate around the masked swordfighter.
"Fend! I'm your biggest fan!"
"Can I get your autograph?"
"Who taught you to wield a sword like that?"
Fend blinked, surprised by the sudden attention. All of the Budokai's participants had amassed fairly large followings- she'd gone out of her wayt o be extra flashy and appeal to the crowd plenty of times during her matches- and being the one of the only fighters to give a stellar fight against Azoth netted her plenty of fans. "O-oh, uh..." She flinched back slightly when a child eagerly handed her a pen and paper for an aforementioned autograph. "Y'know what, sure, I can roll with this."
At first, the attention was appreciated by the elusive master of Korin Tower. She took some pictures with her fans and gave a few other rookie swordfighters combat tips. The whole thing felt quite flattering, but she really did want to find some worthy combatants to get her training going soon. And yet, the minutes began to pile up, and her fans wouldn't let up.
Things soon began to become uncomfortable when some of the folks in back had managed to push through and speak with her.
"It felt like you came out of nowhere! Where are you from?"
"Ah, uh, it's far away, you've all 'prolly never heard of it."
"Will you be able to beat Azoth if his army attacks Earth like they did on Planet Plant?"
"wait what-"
"What's beneath your mask? What are you?"
"Erm, that's kind of a personal question-"
"Are you single?"
Stranger danger, stranger danger.
Fend glanced around like a cornered animal. How was she supposed to get out of here without causing a scene?Fend is using Ki Masquerade to hide her Ki from feeling like that of a Shinjin!
