It wasn’t long before it was my turn. I felt terrible and I was nowhere near a hundred percent but I was definitely feeling stronger. I seemed to be healing faster than I had on the Alsatia. I walked out into the square. They left me standing there for a minute like an idiot, everyone looking at me, then they yelled Hilyer up again. He squared up to me, the muscle in the side of his jaw ticking. I must have smiled because he scowled and muttered, “Don’t,” as he started to circle.

He came at me fast, didn’t pull his punches and sent me flying. I hit the floor hard, rolled to my feet and went straight back at him. We weren’t evenly matched, not by a long way, but I knew his tells and I could hold my own. I just needed to get close. I got him with a couple of lucky moves and he backed off, spitting blood. I glanced around. The yard was deadly quiet. We were the only ones fighting, everyone staring at us in total silence. So much for not standing out.

“Don’t,” Hilyer said again, quietly, threatening.

I might have said something then that didn’t go down well. He flew at me and we went for it. It was like we were in a bubble, in a glass dome and everyone watching was transfixed. I got him with a neat left. Then Hilyer caught me above the eye and blood spurted, someone cheered and everyone started. The instructors let them, I’d swear they even joined in. We traded a couple more blows to louder jeers and cheering then he raised it a notch, got me in a headlock and spun me around.

I managed to say, “I need to talk to you,” half strangled.

He cursed and hit me with one that sent my vision swimming. I went down. I sprawled, flat on my back, eyes watering, and managed to look up at him looking down at me before he turned and walked off.
