[A/N: I watched tons of youtube videos for the sake of that chapter]

[A/N: 3rd Person POV]

”Let the

Jon and Argir were already holding the from the queen's e They didn't even think about trash-talking

Three exchanges which were too fast that most of the audience weren't even ready to watch, started looking around asking where that sound caes both juh idea about the other but that ir held his broadsword front of him with two hands Jon held the sword in a different pose, which was h point to his right with the blade guarded doardly

They both started ain They have already made many moves inside there heads for every possible response froir changed his stance into a stabbing pose Jon took another step and changed the pose into straight guard

While everyone was thinking hoill Jon attack, Argir jumped with swiftness and stabbed with one hand towards Jon's left shoulder

Jon was ready as ever and deflected the opponent's swords with his left arir felt threatened and tilted his body's upper half away from the stab, retreated one step, held the sith the other free hand and slashed the sword that was deflected away doardly

Jon took a step back evading the slash by a hair's width, he didn't hold his sith two hands but slashed with one horizontally

Evading this was hard for Argir so he retreated his hands with the sword to guard his side, sure enough, the swords hit but Jon was not done, his second phase was in a straight kick to Argir's torso

Argir could no longer block or evade but this was still not a problee but it's a one-way ticket backward

Argir was sure enough sent back by the kick he didn't putwas sure brilliant enough

In the VIP seats, Ulfric Stor on their knees Ulfric was an old war dog but Torygg was not so up with every detail of the fight

Jon and Argir began another fast exchange, the scenario froain with different tactics and traps

Jon has , he can punch and kick and utilize his body to the fullest Argir was relying more on speed, his actions and reactions were swift and his sas like an extension of his body

Balgruuf the Greater was got into a heated analysis commentary with Ulfric Stormcloak, their eyes as well as everyone were focused on theto them was very i the ir decided to put an end to Jon's ain the he stabbed then stabbed then stabbed again and again Jon was evading back, left and right with now no chance of counter-attacking

He could remember the Chinese martial arts movies that had the same technique but was used with spears This technique can had so used with a sword ainst

It can't be co done with two hands and supported by the th of the different world

It didn't look like Argir was going to finish today, he was gainingJon hot on heals

Jon started to think and changed his footwork, he aiting for a single attack that can go his way

Argir didn't read this but he noticed that Jon started to slon a bit early, the best way to intiir planned

The attack ca at Jon's forehead, yet that was the e ide but took time to retreat the sword

Jon didn't retreat back one inch but tilted his upper body alrees to the back and used his sword to block Argir's sword and keep it up

Jon's counterattack caht after in another kick, but this one didn't land on Argir's torso, it landed on his left knee froir who had a lot of momentum suddenly felt a pain in his knee that caused hiht side now so he could only use his left side

Using that side ood, his knee can't carry hi

Sacrifice needed to be round while flipping away After he could secure a foot hold, he slashed horizontally in 270° slash to his behind

The wind slash carried a lot of ir to press hiir stood hastily and another stabbing pose was perfectly made, this pose cana ir

The VIP, the people, the arena guards and the I the emissaries were at loss for words

Everyone clapped at that exchange, Jon was too unusual and his ideas didn't just cair's speed, judgsters are two rare geniuses that came out from the same nation, it meant a lot to the people in the VIP seats

Jon walked around and played with the sword like a clown, the sas spinning around his right hand showing another level of control This was a direct taunting for Argir who on the other hand smiled back

Jon couldn't help but sood, he started to feel his own growth once again Fights like this with an equal can ir could already deal with the pain in his knee and could ignore it The next shoas about to begin

Cling Cling Cling Cling

Slashi+ng and clashi+ng again, Argir didn't go overboard with speed and Jon didn't do any tricks, they were saying 'I knohat you are thinking but whofroir but he can't afford to reveal many cards this early, there were few ideas he can use but he aiting for the right chance

Argir knehat Jon was thinking but on the other hand he wasn't looking forward to Jon's next trick To him Jon was so capable that he can ht

To him, the creativity of Jon was like an unreadable future, he can't waste his ti to think of the way Jon will use to counterattack, he had to corner Jon or deplete his Sta in a wide manner, he wanted to put an end to the opponent Staood Their talents varied but if one put the talents aside, Jon kneould be played by Argir

Jon had a rebel mindset that if one made him choose between 1 or 2, he'll immediately think of 3 This was reflected on his style, he can be cornered but he will rebel against that and make a flashy way to counter

The match has already passed ten minutes, everyone orried

Stamina hat the warriors relied their lives on, if someone lost his Staood as lost

The exchange of swords reached its peak Jon could only describe this as a kendo one haywire

Suddenly and out of nowhere, Argir uard and body ar to sink in Jon's flesh, this was his turn to rip and retreated his left side around his right leg avoiding a ir aith a horizontal-upwardly slash with the 'Ice Song' in his right

It was the best anyone can do but Argir was not done yet, this was the payback to his knee, he ht and speed he can and directed a hit right to Jon's sword 'Ice Song' The sas in one hand and being swung, so it was not under full control

Just as the swords clashed, Jon's hand couldn't keep up with Argir's force, the sword slipped froround with clink clink clink

Argir was at the top of his focus and no way for hi the upper limit of just a desire and turned into frenzy, hea stance and in the sa' aith his left, his sas in a doardly stab pose as his hands were on his left side and was about to thrust the sword at Jon

He was s widely for the victory he could see, taste and smell

But just in the very next second his face turned nuir didn't knohat happened but everyone else was already on their feet fro' fell Svidi was screa, half of the crowd held there breath and the other were saying gibberish words as their h function, the VIP area suffered thewas opening his

Argir way of the sas of a way of planning genius, Jon's way of fighting was of an illuir's as anticipated for half of the people, but this was a bit sad for Jon

Yet that move that Jon hting in Taht froe trajectorysht on the face, his face took the kick with all its ht and his consciousness went to Oblivion and ca Jon the chance to land upwards down on his hands

Jon launched his, he didn't have enough fro coir's maai

[A/N: 'Maai' is a japaneseto the space between two opponents in coement distance”]

The place was silent, no one has ever seen this before in a fight, thieves can do these ht were all unnecessary s This was just too absurd, even creativity should have a li after the intense engageht ”Parkour, iveand I'll make you a shrine besidethe time of his life in thatin number

The audience, on the other hand, has already passed the shock and denial stages, they reach the reaction stage, the place was erupting with applause, even the people that didn't co to enter the castle's arena after that laud applause

The VIP was already hectic long ti at Elisif who let her e opened hisa unique reaction each

Argir and Jon glared at each other, Argir was having a conflict between his emotions, he could already taste victory, he planned every ' away fro with no problem at all

He looked at the sword he kicked and said, ”You have no weapon, better surr” but he didn't continue

Jon has already ic is strong and Jon is known for his strong spells, this will not be easy if Jon turned the tide by ic

As Jon casted the two spells, tords appeared on each hand, the swords were spectral and looked sinister noof the ir's broadsword, but these swords were shorter than it

This only ain, the possibilities of Jon now has increased

The Jarls ere dissatisfied about Jon using ic didn't mind the 'Bound Sword' spell These were also swords after all

Jon faced Argir and pointed the right blade to hiet taunted with but with his mindset just now, he jumped at Jon like a mad person

His swords was on his hand was slashi+ng with both speed and power He was not angry any on his sword right now

Jon noticed how Argir was focusing, this is a very wondrous state of mind known as 'The Zone'

All the unnecessary movements are canceled, all the necessaryis how it should be, a top-notch style
