He certainly did not believe that Skylar would be able to withstand his coach’s iron-fisted blows.As for Francis, he thought that Skylar had taken leave of his senses. Involuntarily, he cried out in dismay, “God of War! Look out!”Even as he shouted, the expressions of everyone present froze abruptly. With dropped jaws, they stared in disbelief.Before their very eyes, the brawny, muscled Utopian coach appeared to slam into some kind of invisible force field when he was within four inches of reaching Skylar.

Some invisible force then propelled him toward Skylar as if he had been sent rolling by a powerful kick.His ignominious journey only ended when he finally reached Skylar’s feet, rolling all the way. Before he could even begin to make sense of what on earth had just happened, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted dead away. He had obviously sustained severe internal injuries.Everyone present stood there, wide-eyed and agape at the incredible scene that had just played out in front of them. They stared at Skylar in astonishment; just like the coach, they were unable to figure out when or how he had made his move.For one thing, Skylar had not moved an inch; all he had done was whisper, “Fall!” Who could have imagined that just uttering a single word would result in such a terrifying outcome!It was truly unbelievable!Anybody unfamiliar with the situation might be pardoned for believing that Skylar was putting on a show, and the massive, muscled, dark-skinned coach was an accomplice who had been paid to aid in the act.
