Diplomatic madman (2)

After Tristan Black Bear unleashed that devastating blow against everyone who opposed him, over 30 men on this training yard fled the scene, most of which were Ground tappers.

Some even had both ankles sprained so they had to crawl away while a lot rushed to care for their cuts before losing too much blood.

Such a powerful warrior, opposing so many people and winning without breaking a sweat.

This fight will work to the Arena's advantage if most decide to not attack him.

The word about a Bear blood going berserk against an Arena official, will spread wilder than a forest fire.

"My god, I'm able to do that?" Murmured Aaron James to himself while struggling to stand on his own two feet.

Let's just say... the distance he took wasn't enough to escape the hind quake's radius.

Indirectly admiring Tristan's power, Aaron felt a little bit envious, having no idea how to unleash that power move, likely doesn't even meet his skill level.

If Aaron mastered such a move, he can oppose a platoon of soldiers all while aiming for success.

Athendurus Mihura however, escaped mostly unscaved but once raising his head up, the master spotted Tristan using the confusion and fear inflicted against the men who opposed him.

Without waiting for them to orientate themselves, Tristan started running towards Athendurus with his meter long swords raised upfront.

It's hard enough to appropriately wield a meter long Sword with two hands but he's wielding two of them with ease.

The ground beneath Tristan's feet shook each time the man stepped on the ground, forcing every Arena warrior who still actually has the guts to face this man, reconsider their choices.

Athendurus however, is up and straight on his feet, can't afford to waste a second while facing such swift, big and powerful opponent.

Digging his feet tightly against the ground and the trusted 80 cm long, enhanced Iron sword upfront in a battle ready pose. Athendurus is awaiting for Tristan's attack, analyzing the enemy's moves closely, trying to predict the next attack.

And from the looks of it, Tristan is done being sneaky and swift, going in for a dual wielded attack with no aims of shielding his person.

Throughout experience, Athendurus remembered that dual wielding opponents usually aren't skilled enough to move the swords in different directions, the movements are often parallel or one sword always follows the other.

So unless Tristan is above level 4 in Swordsmanship, his attacks won't be so complex.

"If I only knew his skill level before he started speaking out of order." The master thought but is still confident with his own skills.

"The best move against this large fool would be to evade and attack. The first swing he will take will lead to his fall." He plotted the next move as he carefully observed Tristan's approach.

It would be a great attack against such a physically powerful opponent.

If Athendurus tried to fight off two parallel moving sworts from Tristan, it would just end up to a broken sword, broken wrists and possibly even death.

So the idea is to avoid Tristan's swing and cut his waist once the enemy swings the swords towards any direction, using the split second to cause a swift devastating blow.

When Tristan reached about 20 feet away from Athendurus, taking a leap became the next step, jumping 3 feet high and meeting the ground 5 feet later.

His swords bashed against the dirt at a 45° angle.

Such an unexpected move, got Athendurus' eyes widened up in surprise.

It killed all of his calculations and stabbed his plans.

If plans are failing before even being put to test wasn't bad enough for Athendurus' overall courage and self dependence, the effects of the movements weren't predictable either.

Athendurus never fought a Bear blood before, doesn't know what to expect and his 40 years of experience in swordsmanship feel useless at this point.

The earth started shaking but this time it didn't affect everyone.

The one and only target is Athendurus Mihura, the great teacher.

There is only one target since the rest don't have the balls and the skill to oppose Tristan any further.

Starting from where the Bear blood is standing, the earth started shaking in a single file line. This power move is similar to the earth slapper.

The shake starts light at first, continues to shake the ground dimly in a single straight line and at the end, well it has a devastating result.

When the quake reached Athendurus, the ground around him in a 2 foot circular radius arose just 4 inches above the ground faster than a blink of an eye.

The circle is so well shaped that you would think a modern day man designed this move.

It gave Athendurus no other choice but to become airborne once more, this time with less controllable results.

Since Athendurus isn't the heaviest, it wasn't too difficult to raise the man high above the ground.

Flying 30 feet high, the teacher tried to balance himself mid air even in such circumstances but luck isn't by his side in this glorious day.

Looking at such a ground shaking force while herself is seated on a bench watching the show.

At first Auica wanted to help this man just because he stood up for her, but Tristan is handling himself more than fine.

Yet still Auica thought to herself. "What is the true meaning behind this?"

"Why did this man who barely knows me or Athendurus, stand up for me and risk everything?"

"It can't be just because he hates sexists, even love at first sight can't go that far so there must be more to it."

Athendurus however, flew for a bit before crashing through a tavern's roof and landing on a solid wooden plank table, located right here in the Arena grounds.

Surprisingly ending up with just a few cuts and bruises summing up his overall damage intake.
