344. SUPERIOR SPEED

Shock filled Noah's face and the faces of all that were watching when Derek announced his desire to leave the battle before it even started, and Noah wasn't having that.

With a frown of displeasure on his face, Noah prepared to move when the voice of the lady reached his ears.

"Contestant Aiden, attacking him will result in immediate disqualification," she announced before proceeding to name him the winner.

"Why?" Noah couldn't help but ask. He had been looking forward to that battle, but everything had gone down the drain with just two words.

"It's pretty simple, Aiden. I found no way of winning a battle with you," Derek stated. "Your agility and speed are annoying traits to deal with in a fight. Especially one that's close-ranged. Maybe if spells were in play I could win, but not on martial arts. You simply have the superior speed."
