Victory by submission
Spoiler
But she also knew how dangerous Kyoko could be as an enemy, and although she knew she was playing with house money, Raya did want to put on a good performance and maybe even win, not just to impress the belly queen but for her own goals as a law wrestler. Her losses were racking up and she was beginning to stagnate, and a thunderous performance against such a star might be exactly what she needed.
Raya wondered what she would say to her opponent right before the match started. She didn’t want to be too complimentary and make her think that she was a pushover, but she also didn’t want to be too over aggressive in her trash talk and antagonize her needlessly. She thought for a while but blanked until finally it was time for her to walk into the arena. Another thought came into her head that this was the first time she'd ever taken a non standard match at law. She thought it might feel weird or off in some way. So far it hadn't, but she'd wait til the match started before reserving judgement.
Raya had always been callous when it comes to the crowd, she’d always acted as if they didn’t exist, and to a certain extent it was true that the crowd was a nonfactor to Raya, but tonight as she walked out into the arena, she felt exposed as the crowd roared. She tried to blur out the noise, not wanting to find out if those screams were cheers or boos. She took a deep breath and walked towards the ring, and as she entered would stand there and listen to the announcer introducing her while she would wait for her opponent to show up.
