Chapter 101: Supreme Commander Thorne
The people in the crowd cheered as the supreme commander, and I got on the platform.
One of the event organizers offered me a sword for the duel, but I declined, saying that I already had my weapon, pulling out my bo from my void pocket.
The worker stood perplexed for a moment, asking me if I was really going to use a wooden staff to fight the supreme commander, who apparently had a greatsword.
"It’ll be fine," I replied with a smile as the man exited the arena.
When another worker brought Thorne his greatsword, I realized it looked pretty heavy, making me wonder if the old man could even swing that thing.
"Never thought I’d have to teach a kid a lesson in front of so many people." the supreme commander said with a sneer.
However, his words bored me, making me yawn before the fight had even started. It wasn’t my intention to annoy him at that time, but he looked quite offended after seeing me falling asleep at the arena.
"Let the fight commence!" yelled the host.
Not even a second after the battle started, the supreme commander muttered a chant that I couldn’t hear and boosted his speed, launching towards me with his sword held high for an overhead attack.
Nonetheless, even though he was fast, I could still see him clearly, allowing me to avoid his offense without much effort.
An attack came from the left, so I just took one step to the right.
