Match Between Roommates

Aiden stood with Sevan, Adrian, and Rupert at Jarek's side, watching as their friend twirled his mace in his grip, rolling his shoulders like a bull ready to charge.

Jarek had been fired up ever since Shiloh accepted his challenge, his usual confidence bordering on cockiness that Rupert looked exasperated whenever the trio would see him.

"He doesn't stand a chance," Jarek muttered, mostly to himself.

Rupert nodded. "You'll crush him."

Aiden wasn't so sure.

Jarek was undeniably strong, but Shiloh was… slippery. Smart. His magic wasn't just powerful; it was unpredictable.

Still, Aiden wasn't about to say that out loud. Instead, he glanced at Adrian, who had his arms crossed, smirking as he watched Shiloh shuffle his deck of cards with infuriating ease.

"You seem amused," Aiden remarked.

Adrian hummed.

"Oh, I am. This is going to be entertaining."

The officiator called for the duel to begin, and Jarek wasted no time.
