Chomei laid there silently, watching as Cheri extended her had out to him. He'd take that hand, groaning a little bit as he dragged himself to his feet (with her help). "Yeah... I guess you're right" he replied, stretching a little bit as he spoke. Shortly after, the crowd would burst into clapping and cheers. Chomei had partly forgotten about them, having been so caught up in this bout of his. He'd wave slightly at them, before turning back towards Cheri... who had finally revealed their real strength. She was stronger than he'd thought... surpassing even his previous strength by a fair margin.
Suddenly, a wave of pain washed over him, interupting his thoughts. He dropped to his knee, taking deep breaths as he tried to recover. This tournament only lasted a short while for him... but it laid bare alot of things about himself. Most important of all... was that the invincible Dragon Style was unfinished. It was evident in how quickly the battle lasted, regardless of how strong Cheri actually was. It was powerful enough to face Cheri... but it was not durable... all of Chomeis efforts to strengthen his body might as well have been for naught!
...
Chomei stopped that line of thinking. He was a tiny bit frustrated... but that wouldnt change the results. He took in one final breath, and lept back up to his feet right as some attendants brought over a stretcher. Before laying down on it, there was something he needed to do. With what little strength he had, he wobbled over to the edge of the arena and lept off, his feet planting firmly where his head almost had.
"With this... I have lost..."
...Chomei let a slight grin form on his face. "Oh well..." he thought, letting himself finally collapse.
