 There were times to drag out the week's reading list--Favreau's Inner Knowing, Mueller's The Black Flame of The Cult of Gnosis, and Farraday's Pagan Roots in The Glorious Annunciation: A History of Marian Theology Through the Early Middle Ages--and then there were times to shut up and dance. Cohen bit his tongue.

The metaphorical bell rang. Cohen's instincts were to put the blinders on and charge in, swarming Philippe. It was his style to apply constant pressure, throwing 3-2 combinations instead of the better-known 1-2. He'd punch and pummel and hail down fury until the bewildered opponent's brain collapsed under the stress of it all.

That was what he'd tried the first time he'd gone toe to toe with this Orleanist. That was when Cohen had learned what it was like to get kicked in the teeth by a Savateur, a follower of the world's only school of shod kickboxing.

This time, Cohen moved in slowly, ducking in range and bouncing out--feeling out his opponent. If Philippe gave Cohen the chance, he'd strike out with exploratory jab--just an opener to get the game moving.

 The boxing ring was one of the few places where Philippe excelled. Never mind the general education requirements; graduating from as prestigious a place as Empire Metropolitan University would give him some of the credentials he needed to go professional. It was uncanny how his slow manner was practically the polar opposite of his combat reflexes; it was almost counter-intuitive, but unlike most fighters, he couldn't rely on anticipating his opponents. He relied on known patterns, power and durability to carry him through.

After his debut in the program, Coach Canning had expressly forbade him from using his knowledge in Savate against opponents who weren't familiar with the art. He had assented, mostly because his punching form needed work and it would pay in the long run to be flexible.

Philippe watched the dancing monkey as he flittered back and forth, just out of his reach. Where Cohen was feather-footed, Philippe was smooth and deliberate. However as always, he needed to see the pattern. Philippe decided to drop his left arm slightly. A pause, and then he shot out with a right jab of his own.

 Cohen had all but struck when Philippe loosened his left. Cohen caught himself, freezing up around his torso without cutting into his footwork…much. His reflexes brought him under the attack, which whistled over him fast and sharp like a high-pressure piston on a spring.

And that was just the boar's test-him-out jab. Cohen's grin was tight against his already damp face.

As always, Phil, I'll be extra-super-major careful to stay well out of the way of your much-honed slugs, you magnificent giant!

The jab left the boar committed, if only for a few fractions of a second. With his arm extended, there was a window of time when Cohen could dive in. He nabbed the chance, and he aimed to land a solid three lightning-timed blows into the boar's ribs--ba-ba-boom!--before backing out again.

Cohen's chest leaped. In a few moments--less time than it takes to sneeze--there was a more than even chance that he'd score the first hit of the game or be knocked over with a boot between his teeth.

 Cohen's triple strike landed on Philippe's arm, which blocked all but one, ending up as a glancing blow to his ribs. As his opponent stepped back from the confrontation, Philippe swept forward, his feet shifting under him. His right arm retracted as he shifted position, and now he launched a left jab at Cohen, followed by another right jab, and finally a left hook.

Coach Canning called out, "Looking better, Philippe! Cohen, get in there and hit him already!"

Theodosius' voice rang out in short order. "You can do it, Cohen!"
