                             Notes from the arena champ.

                   Sky and Earth from all eternity will not decay,
                          Mountains and rivers never change,
                       Grasses and trees follow the natural law
            If frost withers them, the dew soon makes them prosper again.
                       Man boasts of being endowed with reason
                     Yet he is the only one for whom it is not so
                    Scarcely does one see him live in this world,
                Than he has already disappeared without a return date.
                      I do not have the power to become immortal
                   I will have to die, there is no doubt about that
                                 So follow my advice
                 If there is wine, do not push it away thoughtlessly

                                          -- Jin Young

                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  AMEN-TEI needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  Too bad, THE SAND 
TRAP, but LIBATIONS 3 was just too good to be stopped.  The guys at LIBATIONS 3 like 
really pulled together to get a 5-0-0 this turn, moving up by 5.  What was the name 
of that team who got 4-1-0 this turn for a total 66-42-2 you ask?  (Sure)  NEON 
ODYSSEY's their name, and fighting's their game!  MVP award for PETER RABBIT?  FRESH 
MEAT's proud of him after beating MINJEE LEE and getting 21 points.  Talk about yer 
major upsets!  MINJEE LEE's match with PETER RABBIT cost her a loss of 13 points!  
HERBIE HANBARK thinks his 9-8-1 and studly character is good enough to face up to the 
Duelmaster.  Any bets?  This Duelmaster is like something else!  JIN YOUNG KO stopped 
HERBIE HANBARK dead in his tracks!  Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his 
teammates?  Don't ask me!   
     So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway?  It can't be for these 
really neat Spyreports can it?  SAFE HAVEN was the most avoided team.  Is a 
276-172-12 record really that scary?  I don't know what LIBATIONS 3's been doing.  
They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from SAFE HAVEN, that's fer sher.  
Like, is KEDO PATLI popular, or what?  He was challenged the most in all of AMEN-TEI! 
He's got a 22-25-0, is that good?  See if I ever talk to POLYPHEMUS again!  BRIER 
THORN was so low when He challenged he.  Hhmph!  POLYPHEMUS beat BRIER THORN.  No 
surprise about that.  Really I'm not surprised POLYPHEMUS would do such a scummy 
thing, either.  For sure, I was holding my breath when I found out BEGTSE challenged 
HOWLIN.  After all, haven't SAFE HAVEN and TOP FIVE WOLFS had a long standing duel in 
AMEN-TEI?  It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but HOWLIN wants me to write 
about it since he was subdued by BEGTSE.  Satisfied?  DUSANA must not be a good 
enough fighter to get in fair fights.  He challenged CHARYBDIS.  8 is a big 
difference.  (Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought DUSANA showed great skill 
and promise when he was beat by CHARYBDIS.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big 
deal!   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All AMEN-TEI ever talks about is fighting!  
Me, I'm more laid back.  What if they had a fight and nobody showed up?  I'd be out 
of a job, that's what!!!   
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really 
should stop.  Remember you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby Tonte
