Two young man standing at the opposite side of each other. A diverse crowd gathers around them, creating a pseudo semi circular arena.
Noise coming from the diverse crowd reverberate around the basement. Different inquiry can be heard coming from all over them. Two individual's conversation stands out like a sore thumb because on how comically they look while puffing out their chest.
"Boss man will show that commoner who's more fit to stand beside Lady Avery!" says by the frail looking lackey.
"Make him regret for breathing the same air as Lady Avery, boss man!" says by the plump looking lackey.
The azure haired lady overheard the conversation. She gave a disdainful look at the two boisterous clowns. The azure haired lady is already used to their antics however that doesn't change the fact that she hates people that can't walk their talk.
Same as her grand father, Avery only recognize the strong. There's no one can beat her amongst her peers, that includes the one who challenged Cleo. Unbeknownst to most people around her except for her close family, the reason why she's this strong at young age because of her unique skill, Dragon Soul.
The two lackey felt her stare. They start fumbling their words before stopping completely so not to embarrass themselves any further.
*CLANG*
A sound of two swords clashing caught the attention of the azure haired lady. She shifted her gaze from the two clowns to the two young man at the middle of the makeshift arena.
"Sword Wave!"
"Sword Wave!"
Two blue mana infused wave came from the sword of the two young man. One of the wave stands out more. The color of the mana is more sharper and the size of the wave itself is larger.
Brett steps sideways to dodge Cleo's sword wave. He and the crowd can't believe what they just saw. Brett is the strongest swordsman amongst the trainees.
"Wh-what is that?" asked by Brett, his gaze shifted wildly trying to make sense on what just happened.
After a few seconds his gaze focus on Cleo's sword.
"Where did you steal that, you commoner?" asked by Brett. "It doesn't matter I'll make sure you will not touch a sword again after this duel!" he added.
Cleo just tilt his head in confusion at his opponent's remarks. He knew that the sword is rare however he's not the type of person to resolve on petty crimes such as stealing.
As if knowing what's running in the red headed mind, the old man took out a decent looking sword from his spatial ring and toss it in the direction of Cleo.
Cleo saw the gesture and just smile at the old man and store his curved sword in his spatial ring. He then proceed to pick up the sword and made a slight bow to show gratitude at the direction direction of the old man.
"Are you underestimating me commoner trash!" shouted by Brett while biting his lips hard enough that a tickle of blood can be seen.
"Let's just get this over with." says by Cleo in an uninterested tone.
He just wants this to be over soon however he can't just finish it with one strike. He needs this to be a proper duel in the eyes of the audience to avoid unnecessary attention to himself. Especially the attention of a girl with azure eyes.
If not for this awkward situation, he will not hesitate to show his true power but the circumstance prevent him if he don't want to ruin his plan with the guild master of Hallows Guild.
"You will regret that you underestimated me, you commoner trash!" shouted by Brett. "Dragon Dive!" he added.
The jet black haired young man grew a pair of red mana infuse wings. He then stomp his feet and flew in the air. A red aura engulfs the whole body of the young man.
"H-hey gramps! Are you not gonna stop Brett from using that move?" asked by Avery to her grand father. "I can't believe this shit head had the gall to use that move in a friendly duel." she added.
"Calm down my lovely grand daughter, I'll intervene if its necessary." replied by the old man. "However, I think it'll be for a different reason." he added.
The azure haired lady tilts her head to the side in confusion at her grand father's remarks.
The temperature at the basement rise high enough that the audience started sweating. After a few seconds floating in the air, the young man then dive while pointing his mana infuse sword at the direction of Cleo.
Cleo wants to step sideway however his instinct says he can easily take this attack head on. No matter how intimidating the attack looks.
He brace himself to tackle the attack head on.
Some of the audience covered their eyes in the fear they'll see a grotesque scene. Some are eager to see on what will happen next, especially the orcs and dwarves.
"You're dead now bum!" shouted by the frail looking lackey who can't stop himself even after Avery gave them the look.
A few moments later, the flying young man clash against the red head at the ground. A shock wave was release upon impact.
"That'll teach you, to know your place, you don't deserve Lady Avery!" shouted by the plump lackey.
The azure lady heard this loud and clear and shift her gaze to the old man. Alger avoids Averie's inquiring gaze. He didn't intend to keep it a secret however he prefer to reveal it after Cleo prove his strength.
After the smoke dissipates, a silhouette of young man appears standing strong. Aside from the sword that was lent by the guild master being broken into pieces, Cleo didn't have a noticeable injury.
Without a moment of hesitation, Cleo rush towards the panting Brett as a retaliation. He pull back his arm to wind up a punch and it flew at the direction of the handsome young man's face.
The impact is strong enough to be heard by the onlookers. It then sent the young man flying at the opposite direction just stopping when he finally collides at the wall.
Cleo scratch his head thinking he might've overdid it a little. He can't really help it though since his opponent used a move with an intention to kill.
An audible gasp came from the mouth of the audience.
