Bab 242: The Lessons of the Past

As Kyor and Luke stared at each other, everything seemed to slow down for both of them. 

The two had met very briefly almost a year ago, during a single night. Still, this was long enough for them to learn that they should respect each other, or rather, fear each other.

For the half-wolf, this black-haired man in front of him was the first person who made him wonder if he could land blows. Later he did, but in the days following that event, he wondered if he really earned it. Luke remembered vividly being in a fierce contest with Kyor, and when he finally managed to immobilize him and thought he could beat him, in the last moments he found several holes in his immobilization. With the skills Kyor had shown, he could even reverse the immobilization and pin the half-wolf, but he looked at the audience for a second and suddenly gave up on winning.
