Sweat dripped to the ground. His heartbeat increased rapidly while his hands shook a bit. Jeff was nervous. Not only would he be fighting in front of all these people but if he lost everyone would see. Including his parents, we were working so hard to impress.

"Now boys put on an entertaining fight. Jeff Clay versus Armond!" The announcer introduced before quickly leaving the field, not wanting to get caught in the fight.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Jeff quickly unsheathed his sword ready to attack until he noticed his opponent not doing the same.
