Chapter 52

"Alright boys. Oh, and Ronald. I hope you remember the events from today, my boy." The king jokes rightafter his entrance in the fight arena.

Ronald resists to roll his eyes at the king, for something his eyeballs could be drawn off even though the king appears to be all flowers and rainbows.

"Yes, your majesty. I quite remember." He answers and faces the trainer, and opposite to him stands his opponent for training; Gerald.

"The basic skill of every fight is your stance. Stronger and wider the stance, the better possibilities for you to win." The trainer gives tips right away. Ronald observes how Gerald is standing in front of him, legs wide on feet, knees bent at an angle and arms upto his shoulder, one elbow bent.

"Is this correct?" He imitates the stance perfectly, appreciation follows and soon the battle starts.

The starting phase was arm power, something which is clearly lacking in the humble alpha elemental as he gets knocked down right away.
