The troll's first test

Just when he was satisfied with the rate at which he had gotten rid of the troll, he heard footsteps and claps. At first he didn't want to believe it but then when he turned around, his eyes confirmed his thoughts.

"It's an extra test. You definitely would not have expected that to be me, right?" The troll chuckled slightly.

"Let's get on to the real deal. Enough of hanging around, just come straight at me," Max said in a firm tone.

"Hmm. What an impressive personality. Perhaps I have been looking down on you for too long," The troll smiled. "As you wish then, the first trial shall commence."

"I have never been ready enough," Max replied, getting prepared to retrieve his sword, believing that whatever trial it was, must be a fight.

Smog slowly began to creep into the atmosphere and the troll took a step backwards with which he disappeared into the smog.
