The fight raged on, and Kevin had already disarmed Erik multiple times, sending him crashing to the ground just as often. When he felt he had learned everything he needed from this encounter, he tossed his stick at Axel, who looked genuinely pleased, then charged at Erik.
Startled by Kevin's sudden aggression, Erik lost his focus and left himself wide open. In an instant, Kevin capitalized on the opportunity, disarming Erik once more with a flurry of quick moves. But he didn't stop there; he forced Erik to his knees and trapped his head in the grip of his arms. It was game over for Erik—he knew that if he tried to move, his neck could snap.
"I give up!" Erik patted Kevin on the arm to signal his surrender.
