Challenge #04996-M247: Informal Test

They had wooden knives with red dye, and were very stealthy on their feet. They came silently at the hellkin, but not to kill. This was merely a test of skill. -- BKF

Of all the truths known to the Martialist community, one is whispered amongst students: Only a Master can beat a Master.

It had rustled its way through the student accommodations in Hidden Cloud on the day that a seventeen-year-old Hellkin had defeated Master Bai in a duel. For weeks, the entire Dojo worried that the devilborn they all despised would take over the place. Their worries were unfounded.

That was decades, and numerous adventures ago. That selfsame Hellkin had not only grown up, but also grown into an old man. Finding innovative ways to teach his students or, as it happened, test his Adepts.

Challenge #04452-L068: Way of the Dragon

This is a strange place where students are taught to fight. Not the ways of the shadow, but how to fight like the dragon-born.

Challenge #02669-G112: The Immortal Master

Some humans fight with blades, those who live on worlds that allow it, use firearms. Or for those aboard stations and ships, crossbows. Me? I refuse to use any of that. My body is my weapon. Sure I carry a utility knife, don't most of us? But it's never been used to draw blood. With a single blow I can knock a man down, with a well-placed kick I can knock over a being the size of a tree.

Challenge #02468-F278: Tougher Than Tough

"What's wrong I heard screaming!?"

"Oh, hey can you help me get my hand out of here?"
