The fist comes flying out of nowhere.
It is a scant three seconds but I have ample time to reflect that that is not part of the Luudo formation; we have not rehearsed this!
Then stars explode in my face and I am flying across the training room, landing painfully on my tailbone.
The laughter burns my ears.
"Sorry about that, Oafy-Wan," Bruck's voice says. My sight clears sufficiently to see his hand stretching out to me. His eyes are smirking down at me.
I smile and take his help. "No problem at all." And I blacken both his eyes.
