Far away in the forest, Raymond finally put down Kael. Kael immediately turned around with a displeased expression and rubbed his shoulder where Raymond had grabbed him earlier. He clearly wasn't happy about being dragged away from the battle.
"How did you pull me away? I wanted to fight with them to my heart's content."
Raymond shook his head and looked at him calmly. "Before the match began, I saw a few guys staring at you with ill intent, so I dragged you here."
"I would have pummeled them. Do these cowards who gang up on others stand a chance against me? I would have beaten them to dust."
"Dust my ass!" Raymond cursed.
"The battle this time was totally chaotic. Who knew if they had a sneak attack planned? Remember, one sneak attack would have sent you outside."
Kael opened his mouth to argue, but Raymond continued before he could speak.
