As his mentor Avidan had taught him Valor assumed the stance of the swordsman, arm out stretched but no blade in it. He would not need a blade at this key moment in time as this was a spell that would take him to learn more Negion than Avidan was able to teach him. He needed to be at his best for the tournament. Once he had the power of Plex at his disposal he would use it to wipe out the Relorians for the most part and to put the StarClan back on their pedestal so to speak.
