Chapter 21

The next few bouts in the Master Necromancer’s class went just as the first had. And, with each new bout, Elian was getting better and better at controlling his two minions. As difficult as the first nineteen bouts had been, he felt as though he’d actually learnt something—he just didn’t realise that he’d learnt something until now, as no matter what one of his minions had done, he’d still been thoroughly defeated by his opponents.

Now he was using two minions against one, that was no longer the case.

For the second set of bouts, he didn’t lose a single match.

And then he came up against Marc.

The man looked angry again. Or maybe that wasn’t anger Elian was seeing—maybe the other student was simply focused. Elian had seen the man as a bully. Someone who thought they were above everyone else… As, well, like Hylan said, an asshole.

However, there must be more to the man than that. Yes, he was a bully—Elian had seen that first had. But the man had to have become the top student in his class somehow. He must have had a stronger will, or ability to focus, or practice, or something, than the others around him to have excelled so much more quickly than them.

Elian had been becoming more and more relaxed during the other bouts, and no matter which minion his own minions faced, he always came out the other end victorious.

He was worrying that this would no longer be the case.

His whole body tensed, which he doubted was a good thing.

The bout began. Elian had his two minions rush Marc’s. He had done this for most of the different bouts, finding that because his two minions lacked skill in comparison to their opponents, it was much better to simply try and overwhelm them as quickly as possible.

So far, that approach had worked to varying degrees.

He wanted this fight to be over with as quickly as possible. Wanted Marc’s minion to hit the ground as fast as he could make it happen.

Elian’s minions came in. Swung their swords. Marc’s minion moved. There was no hesitation. There was no second guessing. It moved with purpose. It took a step back. With its sword, it slapped one of Elian’s minion’s swords straight into the other minion’s sword. There was hard clack of wood as the two weapons met.

Elian struggled to get his minions under control for a moment. But it was already too late. Marc’s minion snapped forward and managed to knock the sword out of Minion One’s grasp. Then it kicked Minion Two straight in the chest. Minion Two hit the ground at the same time as Minion One’s sword clattered on the floorboards.

Then the minion executed a perfect leg sweep against Minion Two.

Elian blinked. Both his minions hit the ground. during the first bout he’d had against Marc, he’d seen that the man’s minion was the most skilled.

Apparently, he hadn’t even seen the half of it.

Elian had to wonder… if Marc’s minion could move like that, how good of a fighter was the man himself?

Master Arin stood.
