"I'll be looking for other users to cooperate with, so I'll be leaving," said Clinton.
"Okay, I'll show you the way out," said Jacklyn. He opened the door and walked inside the house. Clinton followed him. Jacklyn opened the front door of the house. "Well, see you later, then."
"See you later," said Clinton, walking out, closing the door on the way.

[Do what you want, don't ask me.]
[Yeah, yeah, sure- wait, what!?]
[... I don't care anymore, do what you want.]
[Before that, though, what are you going to do with her?]
"You're a Deva too, right?" the girl asked.
"Yeah, what about it?"
"What's your class?"
"Swordsman."
"Let's fight."
⟦Ding. Grace Glen challenges you to a duel. Would you like to accept? Accept/Reject.⟧
"Huh?"
"Let's fight."
"I refuse."
⟦Ding. Clinton has rejected Grace's duel.⟧
"Let's fight."
⟦Ding. Grace Glen challenges you to a duel. Would you like to accept? Accept/Reject.⟧
"... Why? I don't think I offended you in any way."
"I want to fight."
"I have no reason to fight you, so I refuse to." said Clinton.
⟦Ding. Clinton has rejected Grace's duel.⟧
Grace stared at Clinton for a few seconds, and then said, "How about this. If you win, you can ask me to do anything. If I win, I can ask you to do anything."
"Anything?"
"Yes, anything. You can ask to use my body, make me your slave, or even- ."
"Hold it right there!"
"Yes?"
"What is it that I did that made you think I was going to request those things!?"
"Eh, but before I became a Deva, whenever I said that, a lot of boys accepted my challenge without hesitation."
"You..."
"Yes?" asked Grace, tilting her head.
"Have you ever thought about what you would do if you were to lose?"
"I'd do whatever the winner asks. My teacher and parents say that I must keep my words."
"One day you'd really become a slave, you know."
"I don't mind, if they can beat me."
"But why!?"
"I'll tell you if you defeat me first. Come on, let's battle."
⟦Ding. Grace Glen challenges you to a duel. Would you like to accept? Accept/Reject.⟧
⟦Ding. Grace Glen has added a condition to the duel. The winner of the duel can request the loser to do anything. The loser cannot resist the order.⟧
"Seriously?"
"Yes, will you accept? Don't worry, if you lose, I won't do anything to you. I'm only adding the condition for both of us because the system only allows equal trade."
"No, like, are you really sure? What if I won and asked you to do weird things?"
"Like I said, it's fine. And I can even tell you the reason, if you beat me."
"Well, fine then. I accept your challenge."
⟦Ding. Clinton has accepted Grace's duel. The duel will begin shortly.⟧
Clinton and Grace both got surrounded by a white light, and they disappeared and appeared in another spot, with the two of them facing each other. They also had on their equipments.
⟦Ding. The duel starts in 10 seconds. You will be unable to move until the duel begins.⟧
⟦5. 4. 3. 2. 1. Battle!⟧
<{Blink}.>
Clinton disappeared and reappeared right in front of Grace, and Grace did the same, but in front of where Clinton previously was. They basically just swapped spots. Seeing that, Grace started running towards Clinton. She got in front of him in an instant.
Grace placed her hand on her sword, pulled it out of its sheath, and slashed at Clinton.
<{Parry}!>
Clinton used his sword to knock aside Grace's sword. He made sure to not use a lot of strength, so Grace was able to quickly regain her composure, and she jumped backwards away from Clinton.
{Wind Slash}
At a distance, Glace looked at Clinton for a few seconds, then slashed her sword once and fired off a slash of wind in a crescent shape. She charged towards Clinton, right behind the crescent shaped blade of wind. Clinton could easily dodge both the wind blade and Grace, but he was currently pretending to be just slightly stronger than normal, so he decided to tank the blade head on and just defend against Grace. He was confident he had enough health to tank the hit, even if he really only had less than 1,000 health. Clinton raised his sword to block Grace's attack.
<{Parry}>
Unexpectedly, however, when Clinton slashed his sword through the wind blade to meet Grace's sword, the wind blade was cut into 2 and dissipated. He blocked Grace's attack, and Grace jumped backed.
[Ding. Hidden effect of {Wind Slicer} discovered. Weapon can slice apart wind attacks and render them useless. The level of wind attacks that the weapon can slice apart depends on strength and dexterity.]
<{Blink}!> Clinton managed to react and escape just before the sword hit him.
[Told you it's not a novel.]
[I-]
Clinton ignored the system and concentrated on his fight. Grace was currently running left and right, leaving phantom images all around.
{Phantom Move}
[Idiot.]
<{Air steps}.> Clinton chose to ignore the system, like always. He ran up into the air, to a height of 15 feet above the ground. On the ground, Grace stopped moving and looked up at him. Grace raised her sword above her head and struck down with her sword. A large, phantom-like sword 20 meters long appeared out of nowhere and came down with her sword.
{Phantom Sword}
<{Blink}.> Right before the phantom sword hit him, Clinton blinked out of the way. However, the phantom sword crashed into the ground and made a small dent in the ground.
Grace once again charged towards Clinton. A small distance before she reached Clinton, she jumped up into the air and raised her sword in the air and slashed it down on Clinton.
