She stood with her hands behind her back like she had just stepped out of a courtyard. Short navy hair, a small mole under one eye, and a smile that stayed bright no matter what the stands were doing. The uniform looked like it belonged on someone who had never been in a real fight. She had touched the notice during recess. The wish she wanted was infinite chocolate smoothies and a crab aquarium big enough to get lost in. She spoke about it the way other people speak about breathing.

The smile did not change when she moved. She assigned nicknames early and kept them. She stayed polite while she measured. Most of the time she preferred to keep the fight going. When she decided it was finished, the politeness stayed and the rest of her did not. The floor under her loafers already knew the difference.

Liked the fight? The rest of the Arena is in the catalog.

If you know who this is a parody of, say it.

Do you want chapter 80 as much as I do?
