Difficult Terrain, Difficult Demons

George was surprised to hear the student deny that he didn't know who Dylan was and now he was beginning to think that they had made a mistake.

He turned his gaze to Chad and gave him the sign to stand up and make things clearer.

"You were in a hoodie yesterday evening when we were trying to get answers from Dylan," Chad said.

"I threw an earth spear at you and used that same skill you used at the arena to send it back to me in the form of tiny blades."

"What skill?" The student asked, looking around. "I was in my dorm room after the tournament and had only left in the night to eat dinner."

"But you used the same skill today when that student threw that earth spear at you," Chad said.

"I was taught that skill by my father and besides I'm not the only one who can do it." The student said. "I don't know any Dylan and I can't remember beating you guys up yesterday, I'm not the one you're looking for."

"You're a liar," Chad said, pointing at him.
