Gladiator J ake believed he had reached his limit for his kicking-only challenge when he hit Veteran Warrior, but his newfound Fear Gaze allowed him to keep the streak going for at least a little bit longer. He had still been unsure if he could really go all the way to Gladiator, and after reaching the rank of Expert Warrior, he met a rather problematic opponent in his third match. His foe was a large orc wearing armor that covered his entire body. The difference between this guy and the other armor-wearing opponents he’d met was that his armor was of a lighter variant while still offering plenty of defense against kicking opponents. Moreover, it had one very problematic design decision… It was covered in spikes. Not just a few spikes. Spikes freaking everywhere. Jake didn’t see a sin
