Dialogue
Pre-Tournament
- (Before obtaining Dark Fist Tournament Invitation Letter ×1)
- Mysterious Kid: Hey, are you here for the Dark Fist Tournament?
What is the Dark Fist Tournament?
- Mysterious Kid: I can't disclose much if you don't have the club invitation...
- Mysterious Kid: All I can say is that only selected fighters get to enter high-class fisticuffs known as Dark Fist Tournament.
- Mysterious Kid: ...It's a thousand time more exciting than anything else in the club!
- (Trailblazer): (I guess you need an invitation from the Fight Club...)
I'm not interested in brawling...
- Mysterious Kid: ...Then go away!
- (Trailblazer): (What's wrong with this kid?)
- (This option becomes available after obtaining Dark Fist Tournament Invitation Letter ×1)
- See, I got the invitation.
- (Submit Dark Fist Tournament Invitation Letter ×1)
- Mysterious Kid: ...I didn't expect you to get an invitation.
- Mysterious Kid: I see you're a chosen one. Follow me.
- (Submit
- Mysterious Kid: Attention, chosen ones, the Underground Ring's Dark Fist Tournament finally has a new challenger...
- Mysterious Kid: Please welcome (Trailblazer)!
- ???: Yeah, a newcomer!
- ???: ...
- ???: Looks pathetic to me...
Why would you say that, kid?
- ???: Because you do look pathetic!
- Isn't this supposed to be an "underground" fighting ring?
- ???: Of course it is! Where could the Underground be but underground?
- ???: I see you know nothing. Just don't bawl your eyes out when you lose!
- Isn't this dangerous for children?
- ???: Are you chickening out? You wanna go home now?
- Mysterious Kid: Quiet, quiet! It's (Trailblazer)'s first time, so let me introduce the competitors and the rules.
- Mysterious Kid: (Trailblazer), the three people in front of you are the "Formidable Four."
- Mysterious Kid: If you can beat them all in single rounds of rock-paper-scissors, you'll win a fabulous prize from the committee!
- Wait, so the "brawl" is just rock-paper-scissors?
- Second of the Formidable Four: ...
- Why don't you ever say anything?
- Mysterious Kid: Silent waters run deep, and he's the best of the Formidable Four!
- Uh, okay.
- Why are there only three people in the Formidable Four?
- First of the Formidable Four: Jimmy's dad won't let him out until he's done with his homework...
- Mysterious Kid: Hush, the whereabouts of the Formidable Four are top secret!
- There's a committee? So formal.
- Mysterious Kid: Of course, we run officially sanctioned matches!
- Third of the Formidable Four: We run officially sanctioned matches!
- Are you a parrot?
- Third of the Formidable Four: You dare make fun of me? I'll get you for that!
- Uh, okay.
- Mysterious Kid: All right, quit yapping and start the match!

First of the Formidable Four
- (Talk to the First of the Formidable Four)
- First of the Formidable Four: Hi (mister/
miss), here for rock-paper-scissors? - Mysterious Kid: The rookie (Trailblazer) is taking on Mary!
- Mysterious Kid: On my signal... One, two...
- Battles can happen unexpectedly. So, what's your move?
- Scissors!
- First of the Formidable Four: Paper!
- Rock!
- First of the Formidable Four: Scissors!
- Paper!
- First of the Formidable Four: Rock!
- (All dialogue options will lead to the following response)
- Mysterious Kid: Oh no, (Trailblazer) has beaten Mary...!
- Mysterious Kid: Mary, one of the Formidable Four, has lost... Do we have a rising star in the Dark Fist Tournament?
- I impressed myself!
- ...That's it?
- Mysterious Kid: Yeah. Didn't I say it's single-round only?
- First of the Formidable Four: Oh, I lost! (Mister/
Miss) is just too good! - Mysterious Kid: Say your line, Mary!
- First of the Formidable Four: Huh?
- Mysterious Kid: The one about the weakest...
- First of the Formidable Four: Oh, right!
- First of the Formidable Four: You may have won, (Mister/
Miss), but I'm the weakest of the Formidable Four, so enjoy the victory while you can! - (Trailblazer): (Looks like this child is simply having fun...)
- (Optional: Talk to the First of the Formidable Four again)
- First of the Formidable Four: (Mister/
Miss) is just too good!
Second of the Formidable Four
- (Talk to the Second of the Formidable Four)
- Second of the Formidable Four: ...
- Mysterious Kid: The rookie (Trailblazer) is taking on Tom!
- Second of the Formidable Four: ...
- Are you ready?
- Not talking because silent waters run deep?
- Second of the Formidable Four: ...
- Mysterious Kid: It looks like Tom is ready. On my signal... One, two...
- The silent kid doesn't react to anything that is said at all. You're not sure if he is indeed ready for you.
- Even if he was, you still couldn't get any read off him, because he showed no tell.
- Gotta say, aces are airtight for a reason. So, what's your move?
- Scissors!
- Second of the Formidable Four: ...
- Mysterious Kid: What? Tom chose rock!
- Rock!
- Second of the Formidable Four: ...
- Mysterious Kid: What? Tom chose paper!
- Paper!
- Second of the Formidable Four: ...
- Mysterious Kid: What? Tom chose scissors!
- (All dialogue options will lead to the following response)
- The kid is still not reacting. How can anyone, let alone a child, not respond to winning? You just can't fathom it at all.
- But you know one thing: You lost, and decisively.
- (Optional: Talk to Second of the Formidable Four again)
- Second of the Formidable Four: ...
Third of the Formidable Four
- (Talk to the Third of the Formidable Four)
- Third of the Formidable Four: Alright, it's time for you, (Trailblazer), to take on me, David!
- The haughty kid raises his right hand, wanting a piece of you.
- This kid is already getting on your nerves, and now you're itching to beat him... thoroughly.
- But the so-called Dark Fist Tournament is just a game and he's just a kid. Do you really want to rub it in his face?
- Before you decide, think it through.
- Scissors!
- Picking on kids is not your style at all. Therefore, you decide to follow the rules and play fair...
- Third of the Formidable Four: What, you're choosing scissors?
- With luck on your side, you taught the arrogant kid a lesson. Or in other words, you won!
- Rock!
- Picking on kids is not your style at all. Therefore, you decide to follow the rules and play fair...
- Third of the Formidable Four: What, you're choosing rock?
- With luck on your side, you taught the arrogant kid a lesson. Or in other words, you won!
- Paper!
- Picking on kids is not your style at all. Therefore, you decide to follow the rules and play fair...
- Third of the Formidable Four: What, you're choosing paper?
- With luck on your side, you taught the arrogant kid a lesson. Or in other words, you won!
- I have to put him in his place!
- How evil! But the higher powers don't seem bothered by it...
- In other words, it actually might not be a bad idea to humble this kid with "an eye for an eye."
- In no time you've convinced yourself to teach the kid a lesson. So just do it! At the very least Lan, who controls the Path of The Hunt, would be glad to hear this.
- Distract and switch!
- Brilliant plan! As you two reveal your hands, you shout, "Look, is that Dr. Natasha!?"
- Your young and naive opponents have never seen such a tactic before! He indeed is startled by your words, and you grasp the opportunity to change your rock into the winning scissors.
- No one notices the move. You win, and in much delight.
- (Optional: Talk to Third of the Formidable Four again)
- Third of the Formidable Four: No! How did I lose?
Post-Tournament
- (After completing all three matches in the Dark Fist Tournament)
- Mysterious Kid: The rookie (Trailblazer) has scored two points! I guess we have a winner and it's game over...
- Mysterious Kid: According to the rules, you get a prize!
- Mysterious Kid: It's the secret to making our Wrathful Gauntlets!
- Mysterious Kid: Just follow its instructions and you can create powerful gauntlets! How's that for a Dark Fist!?
- Dark, indeed!
- Where did you get such a dangerous thing?
- Mysterious Kid: That's an Underground Ring Dark Fist Tournament secret!
- Mysterious Kid: Okay, it's getting late. Mary, Tom, and David, we should get back to the clinic.
- First of the Formidable Four: All right. Let's go!
- Second of the Formidable Four: ...
- Third of the Formidable Four: I'll be back. Just you wait!
