Shintaro Majima is sitting in the locker room of the Lion' Den dojo once again, only his usually stoic demeanour has been replaced by a pair of glowering eyes as he leans a lot closer to the camera than he usually does, and his voice is decidedly more guttural
It was supposed to be the start of a new chapter, the first match since I laid the curse that Butcher placed on me to rest, yet that is not what happened. I was too confident in my abilities and got sloppy, which cost me the match and set me back once more. However, this is not what I am angered...
Majima leans in a little closer to the camera still, glaring deep into the camera lens as he does so
No, what angers me is knowing that arrogant fool is going to keep pretending he represents the best of us.
Majima leans back, slamming a fist into the bench as he does so
That is what I said, Tillman; you are an arrogant fool. You will no doubt deny this, yet the truth is that you expect a warrior who has just been victorious in a war against their opponent to talk about you and only you, and you act like a pedant when this does not happen. How can Lion's Den take pride in somebody incapable of thinking of anyone but themself? That is why you are arrogant, but the reason you are a fool is very different. You are a fool because you seem to think that, as I walked backstage having defeated Butcher, somebody told you I would be facing you at the following show - and yet that never happens, so there is no reason for me to speak of you after my match.
That said, no matter how arrogant or foolish you are, I am the one who made the critical mistake, and because of this you will continue to pretend the Lion's Den crowds adore you. However, your arrogance will be short-lived, because you and I will be meeting again, and this time I am not going to make a mistake, instead I will punish you for the mistakes that you have already made and I will deny you the chance to challenge Nest for the Apex Championship. When you fail, you will see how fast the crowd's love that you crave will disappear.
Majima pauses, and a malicious smirk flashes on the corner of his mouth for the most fleeting of moments
As I am talking about things that have disappeared, that ignorant brat AKIRA Kaede lost the undefeated streak she was so happy to rub into opponents' faces - so I am going to rub it into her face that she has lost that streak, and with her streak taken away from her she looks like a lost little child when she walks into the ring as the reality dawns on her that she has been exposed as being nothing more than a poisonous mouth. As with the arrogant fool, I will correct my mistake and I will punish the ignorant brat by not only making sure she will not challenge for the Apex Championship, but I will do everything I can to break her jaw so nobody has to hear her childish venom ever again. Doing so will almost be as valuable as a chance at challenging the Apex Champion.
Majima pauses, calmly placing his hands on his lap, before he continues
I hope that Skylar Cloud, Endee Leights or Serenity won't be complaining that I am talking about people other than them or making me wish I never bothered listening to their ignorant words.
The three of you should make no mistake, as much as I am chasing the opportunity to challenge for the Apex Championship, for me the victory would be all the more satisfying if I did so by defeating the arrogant fool or the ignorant brat. But don't for a moment think that I am looking past you, because if you think that you can sneak up on me to try and steal a victory, then...
Majima slaps the back of his hand into his palm, looking straight at the camera as he does so
...you will wish you did not, as you will give me reason to believe that it will be just as satisfying to defeat you.
