I wholeheartedly agree with you on that. Teo is not some frail bottom that needs to be protected. He’s a warrior that’s well seasoned in combat, he can protect himself and his own (even tho Shuraka doesn’t need any protecting either) and will prove it.
I didn’t get that’s what you were trying to say in your comment, it was a misunderstanding. And I’m genuinely sorry if I came across as an asshole, that wasn’t my intention at all. Like I said, I’m not here to pick a fight with anyone, I’ve just seen a lot of people in other comment sections arguing over utter nonsense and not knowing when to give up.
It's okay you can always learn to improve ur comprehension. It's dense that ppl come to the conclusion that Tei would participate in a warrior/protector fight meant for him. This event is meant to highlight Arnata warriors and their skills which they view as a great honor to participate in. Tei entering this contest would be him showing off that he's too good for Arnta and better than all their warriors. Also, Shuraka doesn't need protection, he's probably stronger than Tei.

So Tei is definitely competing to be our boys personal knight.
