The training ground roared with anticipation, the gathered crowd of demons cheering loudly as five Demon Lieutenant Colonels squared off against Evan.

They formed a loose circle around him, their standard-issue swords radiating the faint haze of Sword Law energy, carefully maintained to avoid overloading the structure.

Evan, standing in the centre, gripped his own standard sword, sweat dripping down his brow as he tried to maintain the flow of law energy to prevent overloading the weapon in his hands.

If he overloaded it and it broke, then he would lose the fight before it even began.

As he got into a stance, a hush fell over the spectators and the sparring match began without signal.
