Being Underestimated

"Kid, I may be a beginner too, but you are not ready for this." The swordsman standing in front of Clark had already greatly underestimated him. This was mostly because the students in the academy would never come to this arena. They were too focused on what the school offered them and on training with each other.

"I am sure you will learn something regardless." Clark's words made the man shake his head. He didn't have any qualms with beating Clark. He just didn't want to hurt someone so much younger than him.

"Battle!" The referee shouted out. The man didn't see a beast appear anywhere nor did he see one at all. This led him to believe that Clark was holding his partner. That the forged cedar spear was actually his beast. It would not be unusual to have a beast take a weapon form.
