357 DUEL - PART 6

Matt stormed back to his position on the pitch. He was furious that he had been shown up by a child half his size. He readied himself for the second round.

But this time, he had an idea of how he was going to get the better of Tobias.

"Come at me, you stinking shrimp. You won't get the best of me this time," he goaded, his nostrils flared as he glared at Tobias with a heated fury.

Tobias returned to his place and took a new fighting stance. His demeanor was as before; glacial and unattached. This time, he placed the pommel of his sword on his hip with the wooden blade pointing to the heavens in the pflug guard position.

Matt was about to launch a sneak attack, but Tobias was unsure if he would come from up high or down low, so it was better to be prepared to defend himself with a midway fighting stance.
