When Masamune did finally face Kyouya in battle, it was a tag team match. He was a little bit disappointed, if he was being honest, but he'd make do with what he got. During this championship he'd long since realized that there were much stronger opponents out there, and that he had to take any training he could get, especially regarding situations he still needed to master.
After all, what good would it be to be a Jack of all trades, but master of none?
The disappointment did however persist, when that Kyouya fellow pretty much completely ignored his existence in favor of screaming at Gingka instead. Not that that seemed entirely unbelievable, but still, he was there too after all! He knows he did tell Gingka that he could take on Kyouya and that he'd have his own rematch with Nile. It would have been nice to get recognized, though.
A frown spread over his face and he glanced over to Gingka and then to Kyouya. Both of them sank to the ground, still very much exhausted from their last match against each other. He looked at Nile, who was similarly distracted, and another glance at Kyouya made him notice, once again, the bandages underneath the other's shirt.
His brows furrowed in confusion (and concern), and he wondered how badly he must've hurt himself in the last battle if he needed that many bandages. Sure, he seemed a bit bruised and beaten up, much like Gingka, but that seemed unnecessary. Maybe this tag team battle had been a bad idea. Neither Gingka nor Kyouya were in any condition to fight.
Those thoughts were quickly wiped from his mind, though, when he had to focus back on the battle and he pushed them away.
