The entire arena fell silent as every head turned in my direction.
With Uzan's finger pointing directly at me I would've never thought I'd be challenged like this.
"Get up Julian, I challenge you to a sparing match."
I could've thought of all the reasons why it was me, although I had done nothing to be of noticed since arriving at this academy.
Had I known he would've called me out onto the stage I would've backed out without any contest.
"Dude," Tylo whispered, "what did you do to get on his radar?"
Rean and Tylo stared at me, their mouths hanging open in shock.
"Nothing," I muttered.
"Absolutely nothing."
"…."
"The student has issued a direct challenge," Drothgar announced, his eyes finding mine.
"Julian Uzziel, do you accept?"
I remained in my seat, trying to make sense of this situation.
