Chapter 430 Sense of Entitlement
Despite her lack of strength, Talia moved with impressive agility, dodging to slip behind Ernest.
But Ernest's sharp palm strike still grazed her shoulder
s
Staggering from the impact, Talia struggled to keep her balance, managing not to fall. She then retreated quickly back to Robin.
Robin gave her a nudge on the back, sending her forward once more.
Ernest threw a powerful punch, but Talia feinted, miraculously dodging his strike and slipping behind him again.
A flecting opportunity presented itself, and Talia seized it, swinging her palm toward the broad target of Ernest's back.
Bang! With a heavy thud, her strike connected.
Missing his punch, Ernest's momentum threw him off balance, and he stumbled forward several steps, nearly falling face-first onto the mat. He barely regained his footing with a quick flip. Looking toward Robin, Ernest's gaze blazed with fury. The only reason Talia was able to give him trouble twice was because of Robin's guidance and support.
"What?" Talia glanced at her palm, then at the fuming Ernest-she'd scored a hit on him.
"Yes!" She shot Robin a triumphant fist pump, her confidence soaring.
So, even the top fighter in War Wolf wasn't invincible.
Overflowing with excitement, Talia jumped up and laughed out loud. "Avoid their strength, attack their weakness-small force beats great force! Ha!" Ernest's expression was grim. "Hmph! Relying on technique will only get you lucky now and then! In real combat, victory depends on strength and speed. "If I were even a bit faster, you wouldn't have had a chance to dodge.
"Again!" Ernest launched himself at Talia with explosive force, like a cannonball.
Talia froze.
Ernest truly lived up to his reputation as an elite fighter; his speed was so overwhelming that she couldn't react in time.
"Stay calm, counter his motion with stillness," Robin said coolly.
In that split second, Talia grasped what he meant.
When facing someone faster, the best approach is to stay steady and wait.
Focusing intensely, Talia waited for Ernest's punch to approach like lightning. At the last moment, she

dropped low, going straight for his legs mid-sprint.

Caught off guard, Ernest was shocked. He hadn't expected her to evade his power and speed so quickly and then go straight for his legs. With no other option, he flipped back into the air again to avoid her.
"Address the core issue," Robin said casually.
Talia, quick-witted as ever, understood his instructions and rolled forward, sweeping her leg just as Ernest's feet were about to touch the ground. The moment Ernest landed, Talia's sweeping kick struck. Caught off guard, unsteady, and with his moves exhausted, Ernest toppled to the ground. Ernest lost.
The top fighter in the entire army, beaten by a beginner who had just joined War Wolf.
A brief silence fell over the arena before it erupted in gasps of shock.
Talia leaped to her feet, astonished that she'd found an opening to take Ernest down.
After a moment of excitement, she reached out to help him up. "Instructor Rudwick, I'm sorry..."

Ernest shook her hand off, his expression dark as he got up on his own. The instant he stood, he felt a sharp pain shoot through his ankle. "Instructor Rudwick, are you okay? Should we go to the infirmary?" Talia asked, concerned.
"Move aside!" Ernest's face flushed with anger as he took a step forward, pointing at Robin, who wore an amused smirk. "I want to fight you!" The soldiers around them froze-Ernest's pride was taking a real hit now.
Talia was also stunned. "Instructor Rudwick, Mr. Robin did say you'd have to beat me first if you wanted to challenge him."
"Get out of my way!" Ernest roared, making Talia flinch. The respectful image she had of him shattered in an instant.
"Do you dare to face me?" Ernest demanded, seething, pointing at Robin.
"All you do is talk, quoting useless fighting books, acting like you know it all.
"War Wolf needs real combat ability, not empty words!noveldrama
Robin shrugged. "Everyone just saw it-wasn't that your so-called combat ability on display?
"If you can't even beat a beginner like her, how are you going to fight me?
"You're so incompetent that it's no wonder War Wolf is about to be disbanded!
"A War Wolf unit that's this useless doesn't deserve to exist.

"Guess your master's no better than trash if this is what he's trained you to be."

Ernest's fury erupted, his voice shaking. "How dare you call my master trash? He's a god of war in the army!"
"Some 'god of war,' training someone like you and still claiming the title? If I were him, I'd be embarrassed," Robin sneered.
A cold voice cut through the tension, "Who dares to speak so arrogantly?" Silas Colton, commander of Draconia's War Wolf Special Forces, strode into the arena, his face like thunder.
Following him were Lieutenant General Jack Grayson, Major General Xavier Blunt from the Special Operations Military Region's War Games Division, Chief Instructor General Wilson Cage, and two other senior officers. Ernest quickly ran up to them. "Master, sirs," he greeted them respectfully.
Wilson's expression was dark as he gestured toward Talia. "You lost to this newly enlisted female colonel?"
Ernest immediately lowered his head.
Robin let out a mocking laugh. "On the battlefield, there's no gender, no newcomer or veteran. Lose, and you die.
"I've always wondered why War Wolf was so soft. Now I see it's just full of people carrying their sense of entitlement around like a badge."
Silas's face twisted with anger. "You're out of line!"
