The Red Dragon Clan's grand hall was uncharacteristically silent as the final echoes of Ezra's trial dissipated, the aftermath of the event weighing heavily on the gathered crowd.
The crowd, filled with doubt and skepticism, now watched with wide eyes, their expressions ranging from awe to unease.
Known as a prodigy for reaching nascent rank at a record high, Ezra's actual combat ability had not properly verified untile now.
Facing Guardian Thalrok in an electrifying duel, Ezra unleashed a storm of power and ingenuity that left even the most cynical observers speechless, proving his mettle in a clash that defied all expectations.
The air still buzzed with the residual energy of the fight, a testament to the power unleashed by the two combatants.

Thalrok, his arm still visibly battered from the clash, breaks the silence.
