FIGHT!

While Hurman and Keldon were surprised by Vloz's casual statement, it hadn't been loud enough for Jonon to hear. The swordsman was too focused on the fight at hand, intrigued by Oli's unusual skill and calculating how he could best counter it.

Despite Oli's growth in size, he had gotten faster, not slower. His movements were a perfect imitation of a gorilla charging into battle, something not commonly faced by people in Trighton City. But that only got Jonon more excited for what was to come.

"Hurry up and test out your new strength!" shouted Jonon. "The sooner you go ape, the better!" 

Trying to rush Oli's promised transformation, Jonon charged again with seemingly reckless abandon. His swords came down on Oli one after the other, forcing Oli to do something about the attack.

The first sword was swatted and deflected while Oli braced for the second sword's impact. However, everyone was caught off guard by the appearance of Jonon's second sword.
