Chapter 61: The Hammer and the Hawk
The training hall was quiet. Draven watched the mat.
"Next pair," Stonehelm called out.
"Rust. Tokks. Step up."
Cole walked onto the concrete. Natalie followed.
Cole was admitted to the class because he awakened his power with Draven's help. He possessed weapon-making experience, but he lacked fighting experience.
Natalie stood on the balls of her feet. She watched him.
"Begin!" Stonehelm shouted.
Cole lunged. He threw a right hook.
SWISH!
Natalie ducked. She moved with agility. She circled his flank.
Cole spun and threw another punch. He missed again.
'He is hitting her like iron on an anvil,' Draven thought.
'She ain't going to stay still. He is fighting in a specific rhythm just like how he swings the hammer. It is quite predictable. He is amazingly talented in making weapons but not so much in combat. The headmaster put him in because of his talent I guess. He has good eyes. I thought he was blind.'
