Xander was left stupefied as he just looked at Mr. Stevens, speechless.
"Mr Stevens, what is the meaning of this?" questioned Xander
"Humph! What do you think? I'm still here and you want to break the rules of the duel just because you lost."
Hearing this Xander exploded
"Lost?! How can you say I lost? He used illegal moves in the middle of a sword duel! He broke the rules!"
Seeing Xander like this, Mr Stevens just shook his head
"Tch! Tch! This is why you lost in the first place. Who said he couldn't kick and punch in the middle of a sword fight? The only thing banned in the fuel was the use of magic."
"But.."
"But what?" countered Mr Stevens
"You don't seriously think that every fight and duel you'll be in will be solely the use of swords. In a fight, anything can be used and this would naturally apply to a duel as well.
