Lucius smiled dangerously. "Heh, I've long wanted to witness the prowess of the God of War. Looks like I'll finally get a chance today."
He commanded, "Falkner, spar with the God of War."
Falkner replied, “Roger!"
He was excited and motivated. His opponent was the nation's God of War!
If he took Nathan down, he could gain his title instead!
Falkner was eager to pit his skills against Nathan. If he won, he would be famous in the whole nation, or even the entire world!
All soldiers aspire to be generals someday!
It was an invaluable opportunity to take down the God of War and become famous!
Nathan scoffed, "You should reconsider. I'm giving you a chance to admit your mistake. If you don't treasure it and force my hand, I won't be letting you off with a
severed arm."
Falkner's eyes narrowed and chuckled. "God of War, I'm Falkner Hall from the Jordan family. I'll be your sparring opponent."
Colin snorted, ''Sending the general there will be overkill. You don't deserve it. I'll finish you instead."
Quin interrupted them, "General, Colonel Dunne, this man assaulted the instructor's wife."
Nathan declared, "Colin, back off. He's my kill."
Colin replied, "Sure!"
Falkner was excited and yelled, "I'll make the first move, then!"
He then flew toward Nathan.
The general's usually casual attitude became sharp and bolted toward Falkner as well.
The latter employed a conventional military combat style that sought to crush his opponent with speed and sheer force.
He did not expect Nathan to be even faster and stronger than he was.
