Hermes stood between the two contestants. He was going to be the referee in this assessment. He wasn't sure he'll be demanded to do much but who knew what could happen in these things.
"Alright... I've already informed both of you of what this assessment is going to be like and what I expect from it." The Protector started. "Ethan, I forgot to mention one thing though. The first part of the fight will be timed." Hermes revealed.
"What do you mean by timed?" Ethan asked.
"I mean you'll have ten minutes to get past Lucian's defense and land at least five powerful punches on either his body or head. Anything less than five punches and you'll fail." Hermes concluded to a nodding Ethan. It made sense to the boy. They couldn't just spend the whole day on only the first phase of the fight, right? All the same, he felt ten minutes was way too short.
