The silver flashes of lightning cleared out.
Everyone saw Sam standing on the ground with a small crater under his feet. Muscle also stood there.
His arms are blocking the staff and he had a slight smile on his face. There is a much larger crater under his feet.
"You are good. With how still you were in your previous matches, I thought you are a mage. But it seems like you are more of a warrior. That attack is really good. I like it."
Sam didn't reply and just looked at him calmly. He tried to push the staff harder to suppress Muscle, but he wasn't able to do anything. Muscle just threw his arms away and Sam felt an intense force throwing him off the ground.
He somersaulted backward before slamming his staff into the ground and holding himself in place.
As he tried to balance himself in the spot, Muscle already lunged forward and got ready to throw a punch.
