章 17: 17-Fight.

When we reached the arena,it was filled with people.How the hell do they known about this.

After asking around i found that somehow the news spread that i had challenged Balder to a spar.Great i also got to know that I had become famous as the foolish god.But this time I am going to win.When i fought with Thor i was hammered but this time i am going to be in control.

Reaching the centre of the arena i asked Balder"So how's it going to be With or Without weapons? "

"I don't see a weapon on you kid,so let's go with hand to hand combat".

Good, exactly what i wanted.I still hadn't trained much in a weapon but i was confident in my skills with my hand.

" I Tyr Odinson is going to be the referee for this match.Let me go over the rules,No fatal blows,no weapons and the match ends when someone either falls unconscious or gives up.Is every one clear?"

"Yes"

Balder and I stood a few feet away from each other. He was eyeing me like i was his prey but i am going to prove him wrong."Tyr shouts at the top of his voice

"Begin"

Balder immediately runs towards me with his big body.I don't understand what is this Asgardian's obsession with muscle almost all of them have a big stature and buffed up muscle.Though this gives them power but not enough agility.Whereas i had leaned towards more of an athletic built,though i had muscles yet my agility was high.I easily evaded most of his attack.His fighting style was mostly a barbaric one but he was able to find openings in my movement.Maybe this was due to his experience in battlefield, a thing i sorely lacked.

One of my punch landed on him pushing him back a few step. I could hear the audience screaming and shocked.

"Good punch kid but it's not gonna happen again" said Balder puffing.

We exchanged more blows with me slowly landing more punches on him.

With time i felt that his movements had gotten slower and i knew that i was overpowering him.And then with a solid punch to his chest i send Balder flying and hitting the wall of the arena.

Silence ensued in the arena with people shocked at this feat.Balder stood up after a few seconds and declared his defeat.

"Tyr,what are you feeding that kid."

"It's not me,its the kid himself."

"Well kid,meet me a week later and pack your stuff we will be leaving for a while."

Balder left and i too escaped the arena with Tyr as i had seen audience member coming towards me shouting my name.Atleast this fight would lessen the damage done to my reputation by the fight with Thor.
