The atmosphere in the combat training arena at Wallaby Mountain Training Center was thick with tension, like the air before a storm.
Fifty soldiers looked at Talia as if she'd lost her mind, stunned by her fearless challenge.
Ernest was known as the top hand-to-hand combat expert across the Seven Military Zones of the Special Operations Military Region. He was Wilson's prized protégé.
Wilson, often called "Draconia's God of War" within the Special Operations Military Region, was once one of War Wolf's elite during his youth. He later became War Wolf's chief instructor as a major general, eventually overseeing all training at the Special Operations Military Region headquarters as its lead training director, holding the rank of major general.
His mastery of hand-to-hand combat, military freefall parachuting, combat diving, sniping, and other special operations skills set the highest standard in the entire military. To this day, no one has broken his records.
Rumor had it that Wilson's legendary accomplishments stemmed from training under one of Draconia's top military figures early in his War Wolf career. This mysterious figure was none other than the war hero known as the Dragon of Draconia, the man behind the creation of elite special forces like Dragon Soul, Dark Panther, and War Wolf.
After Wilson left War Wolf, no one in the Special Forces had come close to Ernest's skill level. The two chief instructors who succeeded Wilson were disappointments, focusing more on padding their resumes than upholding Wilson's legacy. As a result, the position of chief instructor had remained vacant for a long time, with Ernest temporarily filling the role.
In War Wolf, Ernest held an almost unrivaled respect, approaching Wilson's legendary status. Meanwhile, Talia was just a fresh recruit, a newcomer in a place where only strength commanded respect. Despite her high rank, she'd need to prove her skills and earn her place within War Wolf.
For Talia, a beginner, to challenge Ernest was unprecedented in War Wolf Special Forces' history.
Everyone assumed that Talia was setting herself up for failure. Ernest hadn't wanted to waste his time on her, but after everything that had been said, he couldn't back down. No matter the outcome, this match would be a loss for him. Winning against a rookie like Talia would bring him no glory.
"I want to fight you!" Ernest turned to Robin, his voice cold,
Robin raised an eyebrow. "I told you, second place doesn't earn the right to fight me. If you want a match with me, you'll have to defeat her first!"
Ernest's face flushed with anger. If Robin hadn't been his superior, he'd have taken a swing already.
"Fine! This will only take two seconds." Ernest turned to Talia. "Let's not waste time-let's begin."
In an instant, a surge of fierce energy filled the ring.
Talia felt an overwhelming pressure as she looked at Emest, her mind racing. He was the combat master she had long admired.

Before joining War Wolf, Talia had dreamed countless times of going up against these top fighters.
She never expected that she'd face the very best right when she arrived.
Now, as her dream came true almost too quickly, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Sure, it was exciting-but realistically, she wasn't even close to beating him. Instinctively, she glanced at Robin and whispered, "I don't think I can take on Instructor Rudwick."
Robin replied coolly, "When you're facing an enemy, you need to stay fully focused.
"Your first reaction should be to spot their weaknesses quickly!
"Everyone has a weakness, even the strongest opponent. Especially against someone as subpar as this."
The audience fell into stunned silence, and Talia was equally taken aback.
Did Robin just call Ernest, the second-ranked combat champion in the military, "subpar"?
Ernest sneered as he heard Robin's remarks. "Enough with the motivational pep talk. If you're going to fight, let's get to it!"
Ignoring him, Robin continued, "Once you find their weakness, what should you do?"
"Attack quickly and take them down in one move!" Talia answered immediately.
"Exactly, you're doing great!" Robin smiled. "Remember, use your strengths against their weaknesses, and you'll be the winner!" "Alright!" Talia shouted, "But I don't know Colonel Rudwick's weakness!"
Robin shook his head. "Well, do you know his strengths?"
"Sir, Colonel Rudwick's strengths are his sharp punches, extreme speed, and impressive power!" she answered without hesitation.
"But I don't know his weak points! What should I do?"
Robin smirked, "Take a few hits first; that'll tell you, won't it?"
"Got it!"
Talia immediately got into position, ready to charge.
Seeing her fearless stance, Robin chuckled lightly. "You can't just rush in during a fight. If his punches are sharp and he's fast, then avoid his main strikes and aim for his openings. Now, where's his opening?" "His back!" she answered.
"And why his back?"
"When speed and power are that intense, the defense is always slower," she replied confidently.
"Smart answer!" Robin said, giving her a playful kick. "Get started!"

"Ah!" Talia yelped as she stumbled forward, momentarily airborne, caught off guard by his sudden push.
Without hesitation, Ernest launched himself at her, determined to make an impression on Robin.
As he threw a fierce punch from six feet away, Talia could already feel the sharp force of his attack cutting hrough the air.
Robin had told her to avoid his main strikes and target his weak spots.
Without missing a beat, she rolled to the ground and aimed a kick at Ernest's ankle.
Watching her move, Robin nodded approvingly.
But Ernest wasn't like her previous sparring partners. He leaped up instantly to avoid her low kick, twisting mid-air to land a counter-kick aimed straight at her. Chapter 430 Sense of Entitlement
