The crowd shifted, and excitement filled the air. It was as if they knew who would fight next and they couldn’t wait.

I knew I couldn’t.

“Are you ready?” I asked Jack as he took in the crowd.

He didn’t seem worried at all. “Of course. I prepared all year for this, why wouldn’t I be?” Jack shot me a breathtaking smile before climbing into the ring.

The crowd roared when they saw him. He was an obvious favorite of the village. Not that I could blame him, he was one of mine too.

The poor bastard fighting him didn’t get much of a reaction, sadly. I almost felt bad for him being outcheered by my guy, though, not as bad as he was going to feel when Jack knocked him out.

Moderately built and shoulder length hair, I didn’t pay enough attention to catch his name but knew he wouldn’t last long. There was a bit of a quaking to his movements as if he was a half-second away from running for the hills.

When Lord Fafnir called the fight to start, the man did indeed run. Around the ring that is. He darted back forward, never staying still long enough for Jack to get a hit in which was probably the point.

With each swing, Jack grew more impatient. His demeanor changed as the smile slipped off his face, and he lashed out, fist arching through the air to once again catch a whole lot of nothing.

“Stop running,” Jack said, voice cold and angry. “It’s no fun for anyone.”

“Don’t be mad because you're too slow,” his competitor called, then he stuck his tongue out. “That’s it!” Jack sprinted forward, tearing across the ring, and as he did, I caught a flash of a grin on his opponent’s face.

“Jack, watch out!” I cried just as his no-name opponent struck. He shifted forward on his heels as his left foot shot out in a kick that would have leveled Jack.

As it stood, Jack barely had time to dodge. He stepped sideways, feet sliding across the ring as his opponent’s foot whipped by him.

Unfortunately, the guy hadn’t counted on missing, and as he stumbled forward off balance, Jack slammed his elbow into his back of his head.

The speedy fighter crashed to the ground, and as he lay there, I realized he was out cold.

“That was quick.” Lord Fafnir eased into the ring and pushed Jack’s foe with the edge of his boot. He grunted but didn’t get up.

With a disappointed huff, Lord Fafnir turned to Jack. “Looks like we have a winner!”

The crowd clapped and cheered, but overall, they seemed as disappointed as Lord Fafnir was. Apparently, that was too easy of a win for their precious Jack.

“Good job.” I smiled at Jack as he came back to our side.

Jack scoffed. “Hardly a decent fight. I’d expected more.”

“Yeah, that guy was a bit lacking, that’s for sure.” Raiden shook his head, clearly unhappy with the fight.

“So, what’s next?” Firestar asked.

“We eat lunch, and then the next round begins.” Jack offered me his arm, which I gladly took.
