Faction War (Part 2)

Chapter 37: Faction War (Part 2)

The sun beat down on the dueling grounds as the uproar of enraged students filled the air. Valeron, attempting to make his way out of the chaotic scene, was confronted by a fiery-eyed battlemaster student. His patience worn thin, he bluntly instructed the student to move aside. However, the student, interpreting Valeron's words as a challenge, retaliated without hesitation.

With an almost mechanical precision, Valeron sidestepped the student's telegraphed attack, using the student's own momentum against him. In an impressive display of agility and strength, he grabbed the battlemaster's arm and executed a swift throw that sent the student tumbling through the grass. The aftermath left the battlemaster student sprawled in a rather comical and ungraceful heap, spittle dribbling from the corner of his mouth as he lay unconscious.
