He faked a smile and was about to walk past them when two ladies blocked his path.The cheers and applause ceased.He tried to speak but no words were coming out of his open mouth. The students were murmuring, talking about one topic. 'Ken's victory in the fight.'"Not only are you sound, but you are also skilled too."

"Do you know
