From now on, Gisel is Mine III

Lars and Sextus were standing on the fighting ground's center with a few meters distance between them. The nobles could feel the hot air radiating from the sand in the fighting ground. Coupled with their excitement, they began to sweat more than the gladiators themselves. 

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

Finally, the three bell sounds reverberated the arena. The moment the bell sound appeared, the nobles screamed as loud as they could. 

Crack!

Lars immediately whipped his whip at Sextus before leaping back. The whip was effective in long-ranged combat, hence Lars leaped back to create a distance between them. Sextus barely dodged the barbed whip, it scraped the skin off of his shoulder. Getting his skin peeled off was extremely painful yet Sextus didn't let the pain slow down his movements.
