AMBUSH ON THE STRIDER

Galahad took Clay's disciples, the Wings of Icarus with familiar figures: Caltec, Jon, and Mor. There was also the familiar figure of Kyrie whose level had reached the High-peak Tier among the highest leveled members of the Wings of Icarus. Statistically, the Wings of Icarus was populated by 4 High-peak Tier experts and the rest were Mid-peak Tier. Their ranking system was still the same as they had yet to encounter beings beyond this Tiering system.

Clay on the other hand was displaying High-peak Tier performance in his fights, but the disciples all knew that his level was beyond that. They were confident that even if Clay hadn't made a move on Galahad, the primary disciples would have been able to take on Galahad to a draw or with a minor setback. Not with the simulations, but with actual fights with real situations within the fight. Crude it may be.
