Hanks scrunched up his face in frustration. He turned his head and screamed, âCoach!âA distance away, a hulking man with black skin leaped up from his seat. No one had noticed his presence earlier as he had been sitting quietly in a corner.Skylar and the others saw the coach was about the same height as Hanks. However, he was visibly stronger and more muscular than his student. If Hanks resembled a bear, his coach was a beast.Ripped muscles and perâThatâs him, Coach!â Hanks pointed at Skylar.The coach glanced at Skylar with an indifferent look. âDid you defeat my student?ââYeah,â the man scoffed.The coach inched closer in the endeavor to intimidate his opponent. âAll right, then. On behalf of all the Utopians, I challenge you to a match. Are you up for it?ââYou arenât worthy to fight me,â
Skylar sneered.How dare he wreak havoc in my country, Alvonia? Heâs such a useless fool. Since they donât understand the importance of humility and knowing oneâs own limits, they canât blame me for being nasty.The coach clenched his fists in rage over Skylarâs treatment of him. He was not quite sure if the man would have the guts to take on the challenge. To his annoyance, Skylar had insulted his abilities by saying that he was unworthy of the challenge.Hanks mocked, âLetâs do away with the mind games, lad. Have you gone weak on the knees after seeing my coach?â âYeah, thatâs right.â The coach immediately toughened up and said, âIâm willing to let you off if you kneel in front of the martial arts gym and declare that martial arts is a worthless skill. The Utopianâs free combat skill is the best fighting technique in the world!âHanks and his men cheered in unison after seeing how confident their coach was.âWerenât you very confident the previous time? Have you gotten cold feet in front of Hanksâ
coach?ââThe Alvonians are weaklings who are good-for-nothing.ââMartial arts should be banned.
Everyone should only learn the free combat skills from Utopia!âFrancis felt a wave of rage enveloped him as he heard the menâs criticism. He looked at Skylar desperately and pleaded, âHelp us, God of War!âSkylar also disapproved of the menâs arrogant conduct. No Alvonian citizens could tolerate baseless criticism of their country. He glared at his opponent and said, âYouâre unworthy of my time, but I can represent the Alvonians and teach you a lesson.ââLook at how weak and scrawny you are. How do you even intend to teach me a lesson?â The coach let out a boisterous laugh and continued, âLetâs see how long the Alvonianâs representative can last!â He instantly charged over with all his strength without waiting for his opponent to respond.The spectators at the contest gazed on eagerly as the action heated up. As the instructor appeared to dominate Skylar, Yulia and Francisâ hearts beat frantically in their chests. In contrast, Hanks and his men were giddy with excitement as they anticipated seeing Skylarâs gruesome defeat.Skylar remained grounded in the face of the coachâs frontal assault. Fall!â he whispered calmly.
