“Good,” Darren said. “Then you have begun a real test. I will deal with two. The other two are yours.”

“Wait, two of them?” Callum asked with wide eyes. “I’m not sure I could handle one of them, especially without being able to move.”

But Darren turned and faced his two opponents. So Callum turned to face his two opponents. One of them drew a sinister-looking ax while the other hefted a pair of long knives.

“Are weapons allowed?” Callum looked at the examiner.

“Weapons are fine,” the examiner said. “Just no magical weapons.”

Callum cursed. His Dragon bone spear was the only thing he could think of that could level the playing field.

Darren reached into his inventory and passed Callum an ordinary spear. Darren didn’t fetch a weapon himself and just stood there with his arms crossed, waiting for his two opponents to approach.

The stern confidence he exuded was enough of a defense against them, and the two men faltered, despite the sword and cudgel they were wielding.

They would have turned to join their other two companions in fighting Callum four against one if Darren hadn’t stepped forward to block their path.

“Give up the crown and walk out of the ring,” one of the bandit-looking men demanded. “Otherwise, this is going to hurt.”

“I’d be perfectly happy to give up the crown,” Callum replied. “But I won’t be stepping out of the ring.”

“Wrong answer, kid!” the bandit sneered.

Then he lunged forward with their bladed weapons, not pulling any punches in the slightest.

Callum had practiced little with a spear, but the few drills Darren had shown him had honed enough simple thrusts that Callum knew about his moves. More than that, his experience fighting to rescue Cassandra and Morgana had given him a fledgling sense of battle instincts, and he lunged forward with his spear in one hand to keep his opponents at bay.

They both halted their advance, wary of the tip of Callum’s spear.

The next few moments felt like hours as they probed Callum’s defenses, waiting for an opening.

Callum did the same to the two of them. Eventually, one of them shifted his leg too far forward, and Callum shoved his spear forward with his foot in a move Darren had shown him.

The man yelped as Callum pulled away from a spear with a blood-covered tip. He hopped on one leg, bouncing back and forth as his companion reached out to grab Callum’s spear and disarm him.

Callum saw that coming, and he twisted the spear so the blade slashed against the man’s outstretched hand. The man glanced at his bleeding fingers with fright. That distraction was enough for Callum to sink his weapon into the man’s calf.

Those two decisive blows evened the odds. Callum was slow and not maneuverable with his wound, but these two would be slow as well. From then on, Callum kept his distance between his two attackers, who eyed him with increasing wariness.

The fight ended without Callum having to do anything when the barbarian jumped behind the two of them, grabbed them both by the neck, and hurled them over the fence and out of bounds.
