Every fighter had to meet with the judge before the match began. It was a standard rule, and Adam was no exception.
Slowly, Leerna turned as her green eyes gazed at Adam from a distance.
Step. Step. Step.
In a confident stride, she approached Adam, studying him with her piercing gaze.
"Are you Adam Vinter?"
"Yes."
Her eyes scanned his tattered clothes. His robe was almost identical to Kaerno's.
"Interesting. He actually wanted to project his will through you. It would be a shame if you lost."
"What are you…"
Before Adam could finish, Leerna held out her hand as her expression turned stern.
"You are a foreigner, so I will personally repeat the basic rules for you. You will begin fighting only after I give the command. This is not a fight to the death. You may wound each other as brutally and bloodily as you wish, but as soon as I see that the next attack could kill one of you, I will immediately stop the fight."
Adam narrowed his eyes.
