The male student was left with no choice but to fight against Uriel. He tried to put on a brave face, but lost as easily as the ones that came before him. One by one the students fell in a single swoop followed by a lesson that summarized the mistakes they made. Needless to say, the fact that Uriel kept defeating them only served to increase the resentment they felt towards him and it also helped them to feel closer to each other. A sense of camaraderie was born out of spite for Uriel and the previously disjointed group became a team that rooted for Uriel's defeat.
Uriel wasn't trying to show off his might or brag about his experience in the field. He only did what he deemed necessary to get a passing grade, but the rest of the students didn't see things that way.
There were roughly forty students that chose Nika as her tutor and among them, very few had experience in hunting. Uriel had already defeated half of them when he started to grow tired of it.
