Chapter 189: Team (9)

Jake was lying flat on the ground.

He couldn't move.

It wasn't because his stamina had fallen so low that lifting a finger was like a herculean effort. His limbs were pinned to the ground by arrows lining up each limb like bolts.

He was also getting sober.

'I remember the start and the end of this spar with Viktor. I have a few foggy memories in between, but if I practice my movements while trying to blow them away, I'll be able to turn all my skills into a muscle memory!' Jake thought. His disrespectful attitude toward Viktor didn't weigh on him because it couldn't be entirely pinned on him.

He was drunk when he said those mean things.

Viktor should have expected that, and he also punished Jake enough for this insolence. Just looking at Jake showed that he'd been beaten to a pulp and punished more than enough.

Those arrows hurt him, and he was sentenced to think about his behavior until he was entirely sober.
