Shyak watched Tsukiko disappear from sight.
- Who was that? - the snake-man asked the administrator.

— One of the participants in the second tournament.

- Oh, I see... 3500 gold for a White Knight!

How does he know about the different factions and skill trees?

He is also a scholar and an apprentice mage. One could say he is a mage himself – he knows how to magically dodge attacks.

How does he know about the different factions and skill trees?

He was raised by a mage and studied at the Academy.

I thought Shyak was just relying on stereotypes. If someone is always hiding and attacking from behind, they're a Haven player. If they die from a single blow, they're an Academy player. If they like to drink, they're a Sylvan player.

The battle between the serpent man and the relatively slow tanar'si lasted for more than an hour: the latter could not hit the agile opponent, and he, in turn, had no way to break through her defenses. In the end, Shyak lost.

Halmaldir!

Well done, everyone, and thank you all.

The battle between the snake creature and the relatively slow Tanar continued for over an hour: the latter couldn't seem to hit the agile opponent, and he, in turn, couldn't break through her defenses. In the end, Shyak lost.

That's not fair! What if Alaria had tripped over a rock and broken her leg, and Shyak would have won?

What if Shyak saw Tsukiko in the stands and froze in shock?

What if Alaria tripped over a stone and broke her leg, and Shyak won?

Okay, I'll introduce some critical failures later...

Previously, Alaria had never seen a snake person in person, let alone fought one. So, Shyak's inhuman reflexes came as an unpleasant surprise to her. She had, of course, heard that this people were easier to outsmart than to defeat in a fair fight, but now that information was of little use. The Inquisitor could only rely on her perseverance and endurance, rather than some clever battle tactic. Moreover, her thoughts could barely keep up with the speed of her opponent.
After a long and grueling hour, the battle was over. The girl's entire body ached, but it was worth it. No less exhausted, the snake person lay at her feet. And although she really wanted to rest after the hard battle, she couldn't leave without healing Shyak's wounds. He had fought bravely and deserved at least that.

Okay, I'll introduce some critical failures later...

Once upon a time, Zhilion, son of Dillion, a great warrior with a two-handed sword and a ranged attack skill of 14, followed in his father's footsteps and set out on a dangerous dungeon crawl. The very first rat he encountered killed him because Zhilion cut off his own head with his sword.
In short, I'M NOT SURE.
