After the defeat of Kohl by his hand, Kaido was finding it rather hard not to gloat. His opponent had been three years his elder, and apparently he had a larger battle power. If it weren't for Kohl trying to show off endurance, Kaido would've likely lost. That would've been an embarrassment he'd never be able to shake off, something he had avoided. Going by scouters now, unless Komat and Suna were incredibly powerful, Kohl had much more of a chance.
Lero couldn't just let him have the victory though, not without saying another of his infuriating comments. "So you beat someone so bad they had lost four times before. Probably all you'll be good for, honestly." Strangely, it was Suna that spoke next, not really allowing Kaido to speak.
"He beat him with a solid strategy, Lero. Try hard enough, and your concentrated energy can always go through your opponents. If you wanted to, you can kill someone like that."
Kaido would've preferred to hear praise from his father rather than a girl he barely knew, but it was nice to hear someone also come to his defense. She wasn't the last to comment on it, though. Her brother Komat had something to say himself. "I don't know, he needs a cool name for the attack for it to really be a legitimate way to win."
A name for the attack wasn't something he'd considered, but that was mostly because he hadn't gotten much use out of the finger beam or even made it any different to something anyone else could produce. "I'll.. consider names, I guess?"
Komat gave him a thumbs up, but he didn't get a moment to continue encouraging Kaido in dumb ways. Before he could, his sister pushed him forward. At first, Kaido didn't understand, until he realized that the two of them had been assigned to fight one another. Out of eight children in Arena B, they were the last two who remained who had not yet fought a match. He sort felt bad for them, seeing as this meant one of them would have to pretty much doom the other to a lack of respect for another year, but this fact strangely didn't seem to really trouble either of them. Then, just like Suna had predicted, the announcer stepped forward once more to announce the match. "If the Saiyans 'Suna' and 'Komat' are present, please step forward."
Kaido didn't know why, but in the moments it took for the two siblings to make their way completely up to center of the arena, he felled compelled to look to the audience. He felt like he was being stared it, which in all honesty, was pretty normal considering he was a participant in the trials. When he did look over everyone, he finally found the man in the crowd who had a stare intense enough to make Kaido uncomfortable. It was hard to make out what he was due to what he was wearing, but he certainly wasn't a Saiyan.. Who was he, and why the hell did simply looking in his direction make Kaido shiver.
Once Papai started to speak again, the alien seemed to focus on him instead, so Kaido stopped paying him mind to instead focus on the match that was about to begin. "For the last fight of the first round, we have the twin children of the Low-Class warriors Pankin and Vacato. The brother Komat has himself a battle power of 280, while the sister Suna has herself a solid 350. We've seen today that battle power isn't everything when it comes to such low numbers, so if you're making any bets, don't rely on the numbers too much!"
From his place in the center of the arena, a smirking Komat turned his head in the direction of Kaido, Lero, and Arra. Then, shouted loud enough to be heard even by the audience, he asked the question he'd probably be asking if he was in the sidelines like them. "So- Lero, Kaido, any bets?" His sister didn't look too pleased that he had turned to look away before the match had started, but it wasn't like she could give him a smack just to tell him to pay attention.
Lero didn't really hesitate at all. He was at least a little friendly towards Komat, so it wasn't much of a surprise to Kaido when he did speak up. "Kick her ass, Komat!" Komat of course gave Lero the thumbs up, before looking to Kaido. Honestly, Kaido didn't have anything against the boy, but he was very inclined to support the opposite of what Lero wanted. Shaking his head, he gave him a response. "Good luck, Suna!" Unlike Komat, she didn't really give him a response. Komat didn't really seem to take any offense to Kaido's comment, which was strange for a Saiyan.
Although she wasn't asked to, even Arra began to speak up now, also taking the anti-Lero viewpoint. However, as she repeated what Kaido had said in a less enthusiastic tone, the whistle that signified the start of the fight was sounded.
Kaido expected Suna to immediately punch him for being distracted, but what he'd witness instead was stranger than that. She stayed completely still, and was allowing Komat to actually turn around to her. When he did, that's when she finally began to move again. Without looking at his sister, Komat tried to punch her in the face. He seemed so confident about it landing, as he was laughing loudly as tried it. In reality, Suna had easily been able to move out of the way.
Once he actually turned around and saw this, the smile on his face remained entirely intact. It was unreal. "Seriously? Here I thought you'd try to maybe trip me over, to make a show of all this. Do something fun." He tried to look away from her and try it again to give her another chance, but a swift punch to the stomach from Suna would be dealt out to prevent it. Komat's laughter only increased, but he certainly didn't look like it felt good to him.
Kaido honestly didn't know what to think. Komat wasn't taking this too seriously, and he couldn't really comprehend why. If Komat fell now, he wouldn't get to join others his age in planet-conquering or even guarding King Vegeta. It wasn't like it was really planned out with Suna, either, as she looked rather annoyed about her brother not really putting up a fight.
"Komat, come on!" She said, readying her fists for another strike. If she really wanted to she wouldn't find it too hard to release a flurry of fists on her unsuspecting brother, but in her mind it wasn't fun. She needed a challenge, not a training dummy. "You shouldn't have come if this was all you're going to do."
Her brother seemed to sigh and give up on her really playing along, as his laughter stopped pretty suddenly. "You're the worst, you know." Then, he seemed to actually begin trying. He tried striking her several times, but like before, she was able to use her speed to dodge the attacks, moving further and further back as time progressed. When she actually hit him back, it was harder than before, and enough to send him back an incredible amount. To an onlooker like Kaido, it was just weirder than before. He could understand Suna being faster than her brother, but there was no way that Komat was this weak compared to his sister. Their power levels weren't that far apart!
He was right about that at least. Once Komat had stayed on the ground for more than a few seconds, he stretched out a hand to send an unexpected barrage of ki blasts from the ground. The last thing Kaido managed to see before the attack landed was a smile appear on Suna's face, and her hands move into position.
Unlike Arra and Leku before them, there were no collisions caused to prevent an attack from landing. Suna didn't take the attack with a mere block, either. Instead, she had allowed a lot of energy to leave her body in an explosive wave, which prevent the blasts from hitting her and destroyed the parts of the arena directly under her.
When Komat saw this, his creepy laughter from came back, and he actually began to get up again. Then, silence again. His mouth was open, and energy was gathering inside it so it could be released into a large blast. This time, Suna didn't stick around for the attack to simply approach her, instead jumping out of the way and trying to run around her brother. However, as Komat's turn to look at her, so did the wave of energy. It was leaving quite the pattern on Arena B's wall as this went on, and more than once the other participants needed to move location to avoid being hit. Once this wave began to dissipate, Komat's tired laughter was replaced by one of his strange comments. "Now imagine if I could do that without tiring, and do that from any part of my body. It'd be quite the tool, wouldn't it?"
Suna was having none of it. He had actually been fighting her, so the last thing she needed was for him to just return to his old routine. From where she was, she sent a small blast of ki to distract him, all while she rushed to him. Her plan to shut him up worked, as he needed to block the incoming attack more than than he needed to rant about possible applications of his own power. When he lowered his arms to try again, all he'd get was a tackle to the ground.
Once they both had fallen, with Suna over him, he had one last laugh. He looked like he was about to try another ki blast at point-blank range, but then.. He didn't. Instead, all the Saian produced was a pained groan. It wasn't until Kaido looked closer that he noticed that she had kneed him where it would hurt.
Arra seemed to notice too, since she began to laugh more than Komat ever had when he had everyone's attention. Kaido felt bad for Komat, of course, but it wasn't like Suna had broken any rules- and she seemed even more averse to that kind of thing than even him. When she got up from the ground, her brother didn't even try to. He didn't need another painful attack done on him.
Once it was clear that Komat wasn't going to get up again or even attack, the strange whistle noise that would usually signify the start of a match played at a super high pitch. Then, it was Papai's turn to speak loudly and steal everyone's attention from the fighters.
"With that, the first round is concluded. In an hour, after the participants are given time to eat and rest, the fights will resume. Saiyans 'Arra' and 'Lero' will be fighting first, with their peers 'Suna' and 'Kaido' fighting after them. Then, the winners of the two matches compete against one another, as I'm sure you already knew." He then paused like he was trying to think of something, before speaking loudly a moment after. "Ah, right. Before I forget, someone remove the losers from the arena and take them to their guardians. Once that's done, the participants can leave to go anywhere, so long as they come back within the hour."
Kaido looked up to the stands for his father once this was said, but this time around, he didn't get a smile. Artiko was conversing with the King and Zorn, completely unaware that his son was trying to ask if he could fly up to him.
That didn't mean Kaido was being completely ignored though. Without a fight going on to distract him, the young Saiyan had realized that a certain someone was still staring intensely from the sidelines.
The alien was shorter than a Saiyan and in a hood, so Kaido couldn't make out much of its face- but what he could feel on him were those red eyes..
