His attacks may be unique, but the king adapted quick and counters it with his spear. The king can launch himself and dodge midair away from Ryu's tentacles.

"Playful tricks aye", the king said. 

Light spears

Shiny spearheads came from thin air by the king and released it to Ryu. 

Ryu dodges it. The king produced more. Ryu dodges them.

The king relased some more. And as Ryu was about to dodge them, the king got in front of him. Ryu clashed him and the some spears got him by the arm and legs. The king got no wounds like he knew where the spearheads will land.

The queen came by and saw rhe fight. Sofia asked her to stop the king. The queen replied that there is no stopping the king's recklessness and the king is enjoying it. When Sofia looked back, the king was smiling as he fights. 

Your king never had this much happiness since his daily visit to the academy, the Queen said.

Ryu and the king clashed once again. Ryu got his one last attack.

But it was Ryu's thingy..., the king replied at a sad tone.

The queen is furious releasing magic to lift debris above.

The king apologized for starting a fight.

"Did you tell him about Shield's message?", queen said.

"Yah...", the king replied.

"All of it?", the queen reassured.

Okay okay, the results may point to Ryu, but Shield's sword can tell the soul of the person. And the sword sensed a good soul from Ryu and that, the king finished his statememt earlier.

The king trusted his friend and supports their idea that Ryu is innocent and their was a skillful killer. He noticed the lizard going to Ryu. The king invited Ryu to his castle to sleep at one of the vacant rooms for one condition. He must register into the academy and train himself to be stronger.

Ryu accepted his offer and thanked the king for believing in him. He promised to grow stronger so that he can protect others.
