The matches after Devon's and the second year were mostly boring to watch, after all, no other dark horse arose, and everything went as the crowd thought.
Well, until another first year took the stage.
Flint Ardent...or rather, the firey hobbit as Ascended Dawn had dubbed him and as the entire first year combat students knew him.
Why?
Well, because he was like a small fiery ball of anger whenever they spared.... especially when he was put against people who were rumored to have gotten admission in the academy due to influence,
Family or not.
Though the reason for this was unknown, there were rumors going around among the students.
Apparently, Flint valued strength over everything else, even as the child of a noble family, and he despised anyone who treated power as something inherited rather than earned.
Hence, the reason he was being so vicious in his spar against Nox when he thought some tricks might have been pulled to get him into the academy.
