Salted

The boy with the pink razor clam came to the stage next. It was clear that he didn't appear to want to come to the stage at all. Having everything out in the open with the arenas did not seem to make many of those fighting happy. Clark could see this much. However, it was just part of battling for their academies. It would win them great benefits for their futures.

However, Clark saw the sneers on the other celestial sea academy student's faces. They were looking at the boy like he was just a tool. It was made clear that the first boy had been sent out because he was a hot head. The perfect person to force an enemy to show off their skills. But the second boy was sent as a defensive test.

He was basically a punching bag. Sent to annoy an opponent and force them to show off their stronger attacks if they couldn't get them through. The boy was a sacrifice that needed to be close to a tamer to do any damage.
