72,"TEXT_JOBAOZ680_03992_CALMMAN03992_000_051","Well, it all goes back to the time I was an impresario. Golden Goliath was one of the performers under my wing, although he went by just plain “Gogo” back then."
73,"TEXT_JOBAOZ680_03992_CALMMAN03992_000_052","This was in the years before Lord Kaien's rebellion. We lived under the imperials' rule, but I suppose they saw no harm in letting us stage a few shows. And let me tell you, even then, Gogo was a crowd favorite."
74,"TEXT_JOBAOZ680_03992_CALMMAN03992_000_053","They couldn't get enough of him. With little more than a glance, he could mimic any gesture or expression with jaw-dropping exactitude."
75,"TEXT_JOBAOZ680_03992_CALMMAN03992_000_054","His proficiency extended even to the techniques of samurai and ninja─such skills take years to acquire, and he would execute them flawlessly within moments."
76,"TEXT_JOBAOZ680_03992_CALMMAN03992_000_055","There was once an enraged samurai lord who sought to cut him down for his impudence, but Gogo replicated the attack so swiftly that the swordsman found himself on the defensive. In that moment, we witnessed him elevate the act of mimicry from performance art to <Emphasis>martial</Emphasis> art."
77,"TEXT_JOBAOZ680_03992_CALMMAN03992_000_056","The brutal suppression which followed Lord Kaien's uprising, however, marked an end to such entertainments. Gogo was forced off the stage...but his dedication to his craft never wavered."
78,"TEXT_JOBAOZ680_03992_CALMMAN03992_000_057","Later, rumors reached us of men who vied with monsters by using their own bestial attacks against them. Gogo was intrigued. He took ship to Kugane to see this spectacle for himself, and enlisted as a combatant in the Fukumen Fighting Festival."
79,"TEXT_JOBAOZ680_03992_CALMMAN03992_000_058","For one such as Gogo, imitating the art of blue wizardry was simplicity itself. Even in the arena, he needed but the blink of an eye to understand and master the attacks of his feral opponents. Not once did he taste defeat."
80,"TEXT_JOBAOZ680_03992_CALMMAN03992_000_059","And when challengers came forth to contest his supremacy, their techniques, too, did he turn against them. One by one, they fell, and so did the legend of Golden Goliath arise."
81,"TEXT_JOBAOZ680_03992_CALMMAN03992_000_060","That is all I can say for now. As for the next chapter of Gogo's saga, well, that is something we all look forward to hearing."
82,"TEXT_JOBAOZ680_03992_MARTYN_000_061","Bloody hells... From the way the old man described it, Goldie's mimicry sounds like a more advanced form of blue magic."
83,"TEXT_JOBAOZ680_03992_MARTYN_000_062","We have to work for our spells, right? You provoke a creature into displayin' an ability, and <Emphasis>then</Emphasis> you absorb its aether once you've won the fight."
84,"TEXT_JOBAOZ680_03992_MARTYN_000_063","But Goldie skips past that last bit, and picks up new tricks almost immediately."
85,"TEXT_JOBAOZ680_03992_MARTYN_000_064","And it doesn't even need to be a monster! Swordplay, spellcraft, anythin' an opponent throws at him, he can learn."
86,"TEXT_JOBAOZ680_03992_MARTYN_000_065","Just copyin' their movements wouldn't be enough─it's as if he perceives the attacks on some deeper level and mirrors the exact flow of their aether."
87,"TEXT_JOBAOZ680_03992_MARTYN_000_066","Somethin' like that would take a natural gift for observation, honed by years of patient study. Goldie, as we just discovered, has devoted his entire life to the art of mimicry, and I reckon this─ironic'ly inimitable─talent is his reward."
88,"TEXT_JOBAOZ680_03992_MARTYN_000_067","Even expert blue mages like you and me must seem like infants to him. There must be some way to claw out a victory..."
89,"TEXT_JOBAOZ680_03992_MARTYN_000_068","Let's head back to Kugane for the moment, and I'll try to think up a plan along the way."
90,"TEXT_JOBAOZ680_03992_MARTYN_000_070","Well, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, I gave it some thought, and I believe I've hit upon a winnin' strategy."
91,"TEXT_JOBAOZ680_03992_MARTYN_000_071","Goldie's mimicry is a formidable weapon, there's no doubt about that. But just because he's learned a bunch of spells and stuff doesn't mean he knows the best way to use them."
92,"TEXT_JOBAOZ680_03992_MARTYN_000_072","Footwork and flexibility! That's what's important. And when it comes to battle instincts, I think I have the upper hand over some stage performer."
93,"TEXT_JOBAOZ680_03992_MARTYN_000_073","It'll just be a case of dodgin' his attacks, while makin' sure I land a good wallopin' of my own. He won't even know what hit him."
94,"TEXT_JOBAOZ680_03992_MARTYN_000_074","Speakin' of improvements, why don't you see about learnin' Aetherial Spark? I'll be busy trainin' for my grand rematch, anyway...once I'm done servin' tea."
