How will that work out for Held though? Before she was seen as favoured because of her dad and now Valiant beat the crap out of them for her. Usually doesn't go over well with bullies, though it depends on what Valiant tells them next. Perhaps he'll compare his skill gap with them with theirs with Held so they'll understand how unhelpful their behaviour is instead of just demanding taht they stop being assholes.

well if nothing else that was deserved

Well.

The others seem to have a pretty high opinion of Valiant, and he wouldn't be just demanding it either - he is giving them a more than fair chance to settle this through a contest. Given that master Z seems to promote a "rule by strength" warrior culture, they would probably honor Valiant's request. Obviously they won't immediately become her friends or anything, but Valiant should be able to at least get them to cut down on verbal abuse and such.

Jasper the coward, confirmed. And owned.

He has the same shiney eyes as Burk :D

Y'know guys, if you stand there arguing about which one of you should be defeated first, you're not going to win.

They are not even trying anything, not moving a bit until kicked out.
Lame bullies!
