Chapter 34 - Fighting Again

"A friendly spar?" The Emperor repeated with a slight frown. "And who do you want to fight against?"

That was exactly the question I wanted. I looked over to Derek and pointed at him.

"With Professor Derek over there. Rumors have been that I utterly lost to him, so I just want to clarify a few things."

The Emperor wasn't too sure of what was happening. However, Alexandra started muttering some things in his ears, probably explaining our past to him. The look in the Emperor's eyes changed a few times, and I hoped he would agree to it because, as far as I could tell, Derek didn't want to participate in this fight at all.

A few more seconds passed by, and the Emperor rubbed his chin.

"Hm, why not. However, there will be some rules." It seemed he didn't want the same thing as last time to happen. "As soon as one of you two bleeds, then the fight will be over."

I nodded.
