The eligibility test for Reinhard began. Fleus as referee stood between Reinhard and Arlon. When they are ready, he shouted "Begin."--signifying whoever attacked first, would definitely lead the way.
However, until Fleus moved to a position some distance away from the battle range, Reinhard and Arlon still stared at each other in silence.
What was in Reinhard's point of view, was only seeing a person he had defeated. As for Arlon, he saw Reinhard as someone who must be defeated at any cost.
Reinhard took this lightly, while Arlon did not. He gripped his sword tightly not without reason. He was angry just by seeing Reinhard's existence. And he as a prince wanted to defeat Reinhard with his own two hands.
Reinhard, who once defeated him was never free from the object of Arlon's revenge. He thought now was the time to prove his worth.
"How are you, Arlon?" Reinhard asked pleasantly before he raised his sword.
"Never been better," Arlon replied.
