Black Corn grins.
Black Corn: Oh, I forgot to mention that I'm a Number, and sure you can call me Corn. What are you, and what should I call you?
Black Corn switches to his fake innocent smile, but the tone of his voice doesn't match up.
Black Corn: Nice to meet you, and I hope we can be friends!

"Nothing to gain from taking a life? To be completely honest, I don't think I really class as alive anymore."
To illustrate my point, I pick up some kind of ceremonial sword which is on display, as it would, seeing as this is a duel arena, and stab myself through the chest, before continuing to walk around.
"Do you see now? There is only one way you are going to get rid of me, and once I get a number it is too late. I will be too powerful for you to beat. Once I get 1 number, I will not rest until I have the rest, and the world is destroyed. Then again, I will not rest anyway. I don't hve to sleep."
I remove the sword, and heal the wound. I have no personal reason for doing this, just it might scare people away. People who I can duel. I take the sword. Perhaps someone will want it. If someone wants something, then quite likely I will be able to exploit that.
"If you still don't want to duel, I challenge anyone who is up for it."
