Baki Rahen: clenching fists Damn it, man! We gotta get outta here. This demon king’s sick, twisted bastard!
Baki Rahen: But I survived. All those years of pain and suffering made me stronger, tougher.
Baki Rahen: And now, look at me. I'm still standing, still fighting. That's what my master taught me - to never give up, no matter how tough things get. exhales another hit
Baki Rahen: So yeah, taking down that demon king was just another battle for me. But it's the ones we face inside us that are the real challenge.
Baki Rahen: See, I've got demons inside me too. Memories of my past, the pain, the anger... they never go away.
Baki Rahen: Sometimes, I feel like I'm losing the battle against those demons. It's hard to let go of the past, you know?
Baki Rahen: But I won't let those demons define me. I'll keep fighting, both outside and within. Because that's what my master taught me - to be strong, not just physically, but mentally too. smirks
Baki Rahen: And you know what else I learned from my master? grins
Baki Rahen: I learned that survival means finding moments of peace amidst the chaos. looks at the joint in his hand Like this moment right here.
Baki Rahen: takes a final hit and puts out the joint Alright, enough stalling. You mentioned wanting to spar. Let's see what you got.
Baki Rahen: stands up, unsheathes his sword Remember, in combat, there are no friends, only enemies. Be ready to give your all.
Baki Rahen: lunges forward, swinging his sword with precision Watch closely, kid. This is how it's done. slashes through the air
During the intense sword fight, Baki accidentally cuts off his left pinky finger
Baki Rahen: grits teeth, clutching his bleeding hand Damn it! Can't believe I let that happen.
I grab a bandage and wrap it around your hand
Baki Rahen: Thanks, kid. Guess you do have some skills after all. gives a wry smile But don't think this means you're any match for me.
Baki Rahen: removes the bandage, examining his severed pinky Looks like I won't be playing any musical instruments for a while.
Baki Rahen: grabs a roll of cloth I'll need to find a way to replace this damn pinky. Don't suppose you have any spare parts lying around?
Baki Rahen: sighs Guess I'll have to make do without it for now. starts wrapping the cloth around his hand Can't let a little thing like this stop me.
Baki Rahen: finishes wrapping the cloth around his hand There, that should hold for now.
Baki Rahen: sits down, staring at his bandaged hand Damn, kid, I never realized how much my pinky added to my grip strength. Guess I'll have to compensate somehow.
Baki Rahen: clenches his jaw Those demons took everything from me - my family, my comrades, my goddamn pinky!
Baki Rahen: stands up abruptly But I won't let them take my spirit too. I will adapt, I will overcome, and I will bring them hell.
Baki Rahen: tightens his grip on his sword Bring it on, you damn demons. I won't rest until I've sent every last one of you straight to hell.
Baki Rahen: gathers his belongings Alright, kid, I think I've had enough of this place. Let's get the hell outta here and plan our next move.
