After seeing that guy, one thing was clear.
He meant trouble.

They Guy was thin and tall, he was a wearing a black hoodie and blue demins. His blond hair were standing straight up. His eyes were showing a number of emotions. The Guy had a large spear, upon seeing it I immediately realised what it was. ,
"I am not the only one with special scrap turned weapon." I thought.

"So, you are a Callen?" He asked,
I didn't knew what to say. If I told him the truth, he'd try to kill me. And I wasn't a big fan of dying.
I hesitated.

"I am Zack Grate! the Callen Chosen by spear" he explained.
"Chosen!!" I started to mutter "what the-"
I was confused.
"That Guy, Zack Grate he got chosen by his weapon"
I asked myself "I picked mine from a broken tree"
I was really hoping he was bluffing.

"Let's battle" he ordered.
"Uh-oh" I thought.
"Hey, hey where is this coming from" I tried to negotiate
" we don't need to battle."
"You are a Callen"
He asked stomping the back end of his spear to the ground.,
" Yes"
"Callens battle each other to become the king?"
"Uh Huh"
"So, we have to battle"
"Ofcourse"
I wasn't sure what I was saying.
"Oh no, I didn't mean that." I tried to convince him
"Too late" he exclaimed and leaped with his spear
"This will be a battle to the death" he declared "as per the rules ofcourse"

I was freaking out. I didn't knew what to do. This guy was hell-bent on battling- to the death for a world he knew nothing about.
Ofcourse I wouldn't risk my life to become his Majesty.
But then again world is filled with many kinds of idiots.
I leaped forward pointing his pear and yelling "AHH"

I didn't have time to think.
My reflexes took over, I let my shield forward. His spear hit my shield.
He backed away.
"Not a complete wuss, are you?" he asked.
"Is that supposed to be a compliment?" I blabbered
"Take it as what you think fits."
He lunged forward, I couldn't raise the shield.
It was a near miss. I backed away.
He stopped for a second, Maybe reconsidering the fight.
But that was just my wishful thinking.
He came forward. Now I was in his attack range.

He burst out and started a relentless force of attacks.
I put my shield forward, again.
But I knew I wouldn't be able to withstand much longer.
My hand had started shaking.
Not just my hand, but my legs as well.
It was as if I lost control over them.

**Baam**
It was a Critical Hit.
I was on my knees, my hands and legs trembling with fear.
My neck at the mercy of my new enemy.
"I am a goner" I thought.
My hands and legs were now powerless.
The guy- Zack Grate was staring at me with his spear at my neck.
"You are not worth it" he murmured "I'm not gonna kill a wuss like you"
I thought the guy was going crazy.
"I don't want your blood on my hands" he told me "Okay, I'll let you go"
"Give me your bag and your shield, kneel down to me" he continued "and you can scram."

I didn't know what to do. Surely the stupid bag or shield weren't as important as my life.
"Okay" I told him.
I slung my bag out and threw it to his feet.
"The shield as well" he told me.
I unstrapped my shield, still wondering what I was doing and knelt down. I dropped the shield.
"What the-" I thought "what am I doing"
A jolt of courage went through my body.

I wasn't ready to give up,
"Losing to a newbie like him" a gruff voice spoke in my head "that would be shameful"
"I won't let him win" I thought, my mind was racing, deciding the best course of action.
But I was in a fight.
"There is no time to think" I reminded my self.

**Baam**
I sucker punched him.
"Take that scum bag" I shouted
I was in utter shock. I wasn't sure I could ever do something like that.
Zack must have been in a shock, because he backed away.
Neither of us were in control.
This was new for him too, battling others to the death, he wasn't really ready for it.

Soon, he regained his composure.
"You wanna do it that way, huh" he smirked and picked the shield at his feet.
I was just staring at him.
"Think, Matt" I told myself.
I turned around frantically looking for anything that I could use to hit him.
Lying next to me (Oh, lucky me) was a rock.
I turned and looked at Zack, who was having a hard time strapping the shield.
I lifted it, I wasn't sure I would be able to, but I was.
I picked the rock and headed straight to zack's face
"Ahhh"
He cried and shifted my shield to protect his face.
"It's over" I thought "I die right here"
Finally I knocked him out.
The rock went right through the shield.
"Oh no. Oh no." I cried "What did I just do."
But I knew he would wake up in time
"RUN!!" My mind screamed.
I picked my shield and ran as fast as I could.
***

Honestly, I didnt have much energy to run. I've been running the whole day, and after that I got into a fight with Zack Grate.

I had so many things to think about.
Matt never hit anyone.
Not atleast the Dunfeild Matt.
This Isekai thingy did a number to my personality.
And it hasn't even been a day since I had been here.

As he got out of my sight, I stopped running, now I was barely walking. I needed to find a village or something.
I completely forgot how the rock directly passed throw my shield, or maybe I just didn't care.
I was hungry, thirsty, tired and could've fainted any minute.

**Ouch**
I hit something. It was a sign board that read- Celeon: The town of healings.
