Cassius's skill level is low. Stacie G. is out of his league.
Count Orlov
-- Anytime! Can you fight?
-- He managed to get out of the meat grinder alone yesterday!
-- Champion! That's him! We're rooting for you! -- middle-aged female fans wave at Cassius, and one even gets slapped for her enthusiasm – presumably by her husband.
-- So, can you fight with your fists? Who will you fight – a newbie or someone experienced? Wrestling, legs – yes, no?
- I used to fight with my fists, but it's been a while. I'll start with the lower ranks. No wrestling, but I can use my legs.

Looking at those present:
- I'm not sure what you want to achieve, sir... Fulrad? But if you think this is the only right thing to do, then... - a hand rests on the hand of the novice, her gaze pierces his eyes. - I have nothing to hide. Nothing I said is untrue. The Void is witness to that, although such matters are not of interest to it. Just remember one thing - your personal perception does not always correspond to reality, - the gaze softens, the fingers tighten slightly around the palm. - And therefore... However, that remains on your conscience.

—You can't stop or speed up time, whether you learn or not. —nodding, the Voidwalker decides to explain: —Deal, Wind—err, Master. I'm here this week, so I hope to learn something useful.
— What kind of master am I? I still have a lot to learn. Just call me—Sigheber. You can find me here or at the tavern.

Ottar's Fortress of Reason certainly raised doubts, but not to this extent... on the other hand, anything is possible in this damned world. Even incredibly realistic mental intrusions.

—It's actually better for us if it's a monster, —Ottar objected. —If it's a mage capable of sending visions indistinguishable from reality and simultaneously draining half the blood from a human body, then we're really in trouble. We can still do something about a monster. As for the children... there are two theories. First: they simply died, or their blood is not suitable. Second: the monster's mental powers are based on the sexual preferences of its victims... whether it's the carpenter's apprentice from the village, or I, who saw the object of my romantic desires... I figured out the deception and deliberately fell into the trap, but who knows... maybe the monster does this to everyone. With men, with women... But I assure you: I felt the consequences of the blood being drained by the tentacles quite physically. A disgusting feeling.

This creature doesn't go into the city... I wouldn't want to be in the village again. And if I have to, then only with Gas! Let the Master show how to fend off the tentacles! He still doubts his words, damn the Void!
— You deliberately gave him... your blood? M-yes. Why did we equip you as if for war, remind me?... Never mind, your help is invaluable. A real detective, the case is almost solved in a day. But I'm thinking... What if it lives there under someone's guise?

Hargen nods again.
—I was just about to go to the tavern. But anyway... I'm ready anytime.

He fought... but the enemy immediately played its trump card! It was unfair! Ottar would have lost like that... several more times!

“The chances weren’t great there... that creature would have finished me off, and the investigation would have ended in nothing,” Ottar shrugged. “But your idea, master, is excellent! Among the healthy people in the village, there are only children and a healer. The elder looked not as bad as the others, but he advised me to run. This behavior is not typical for a monster. And everyone advised me to, actually. The carpenter’s apprentice and the hunter were the first to get infected. All three, including the carpenter, are bedridden. I also saw some woman who asked for help carrying water... that conversation was the most meaningless of all. If you think about it, no one seems more suspicious than anyone else... but the monster knew where I was staying and came shortly after dark. He was clearly watching me.

The elder, the healer, the woman with the bucket of water... where does the confidence come from that the monster is one of them? In theory, he could have set up a lair even in the forest, not far from the village.

Well, that remains on your conscience.
Fulrad takes her hand, his face becoming even more stern at the touch. He takes a dagger and makes a small cut on her palm, and, after waiting a couple of seconds, he grimly announces:
-- That's what needed to be proven. This is not a human!
Whatever the clergyman wants to say or do next, Geoffroy stops him.
-- Incredible... Calm down, Sir Fulrad. After all, we are not all frightened peasants here, so there is no need to panic.
-- Indeed. Let's first listen to what this creature has to say. This is really something I didn't expect in my old age, and I intend to find out the whole story first. So, again: who or what are you and what is your goal?

Hargen nods again.
-I was just about to go to the tavern later. But... anytime, I'm ready.
-- We can start right now - you want to fight the day after tomorrow, right? Then we'll go have a beer.

A newcomer is unable to continue the fight.
Cassius receives modest applause – the fight dragged on for too long.
Cassius spits out blood and steps aside.

"Not bad, but it's more fun with weapons," thought the Knight.

If there are any more volunteers, Aurelius is ready to continue.

– He volunteered to fight, but he’s not using his legs… While the bald bore is distracted – are you ready to test yourself against my kicks? – it seems another opponent is eager to demonstrate his kicking skills on Cassia.

"The craftsman coughed up 35 coppers. Not bad, but... you could say it's half the price of the one... the one I unlocked in the academy this morning. And this commoner is a lucky guy. Out of four tries, he pulled one poker and two full houses. What are the odds... Yes, yes... sleight of hand and nothing else..."

He walks over to Arno.
Arno is already leaning in, talking to the most gloomy-looking of the drunks, and waves his hand to his comrade. -- Voldemar! Glad to see you! Go get some beer for the three of us, hang out with us. Ask for the best! -- he winks.

-- I once read about creatures that change their form, and I can tell you: their poison is potent. Well, never mind! So, the healer... is she old, or what? Does she live alone?

If kicking doesn't require skill, then let him kick.

- I'm ready.

He nods in response and heads off to get two portions of "the best beer," while simultaneously remembering how much the beer costs in the tavern...

An empty head, just as an empty body, contributes to spiritual emptiness. It is much better than suffering and torment.

—I don't feel like I've become more agile or resilient yet, but I definitely don't swing my fists in vain. —wiping sweat from his forehead, Hargen assessed the training. —Thank you, Sig. Ah, it's time to appreciate the second day of the festival, judging by its name.
