Rick's atmosphere had changed the moment he entered the examination room. Although he still had a gentle smile on his face as he walked to the one spot in the room that was clear of damage, that smile didn't seem quite as friendly as it did when Rick greeted Toz. Instead, a great danger seemed to be hiding behind the facade of a gentle old man.
Even if Toz couldn't sense Rick's level of power, he didn't need to, to realize that Rick was strong. A lot stronger than Toz. Probably stronger than the Scorched Earth Rat King had been. Thankfully, Rick wouldn't be going all out to defeat Toz as soon as possible. He would test Toz and make sure he can survive in a fourth level danger zone.
During the short walk to the examination room, they had agreed that the test would be a spar where Toz tries to match Rick's attacks and offensive.
After both had gotten into position and Toz revealed his dark matte grey sword with orange edges, Rick also revealed his weapon.
