Introvert's Nightmare

The matches went on, and soon enough another familiar name was announced. It was Ryan Miller's turn. On the other side was a cadet named Carl Fritz.

Creed looked at Ryan's face and realized that he couldn't be any more nervous. The amount of sweat dripping from his forehead was enough proof. 

Nevertheless, if looked from Ryan' perspective, his nervousness was reasonable. 

After watching his batch mates' energetic battles, he was already demoralized by this point. So far, Ryan has only killed weak and mindless beasts before but he had never hurt an actual person.

Also, Creed never did any one-on-one with him while his batch mates had already isolated him for being weak. He never got the chance to engage in battle with a real person before, much less hurt them.&n
