"Oh, I see. so.... that's not really such a big problem then.. but not aging and staying the same forever it's rather strange." "Is that really true. I thought, it only declined your agin in Zero World.. not every where.." Codey answered with confusion. "That's incorrect, the aging is counted throughout every planet or universe. so, you're fine... you can still work and you can still provide money. you may also have a family, no matter the age.... but I wouldn't recommend having a family with the person who hasn't been aged the same as yourself or at least near." "Why are we talking about 'family' again?" Myles questioned. "Forget it, you'll figure it out soon enough. so, remember, you will be unable to age any longer after taking on the C.A.C.. sorry, but that's the only side effect" Tim immediately became unamused. "Even if so, it would feel strange, being old 70 years but have the looks of a 16 year old." Tim spoke with flinching expression. Before finishing, somebody came stomping in front of them. "Stop right there I believe you're going to take on C.A.C... if that is what you want, there is only one final thing preventing you, the ones who will fight in C.A.C. must fight me... my name is Inara.." Everyone around, became surprised, luckly for Codey. he fought before the others, so he was not needed to accept the fight. "You mean I have to duel you?"

"That's correct. For me to let you reach C.A.C., you must prove your skills in a duel against me. Of couse, that is uneccessary if you're afraid to fight however, failing this position, you would have struggle to be accepted to any clans." Inara quietly but slightly followed up with her words after explanation. ("But... I don't even know how to duel..... can I even win, I do not have any control over my own Ginken.") Questioning in his mind, Tim sighed after scratching his forehead. "He'll fight you, right? Tim?" Ayuka quickly proceeded. "Excuse me! You can't just go picking choices for me!" "Oh, quiet down, you can't die, unless you're a pure loser. which I bet, you aren't total loser." "That's not really helping out.... and, if Codey's entering the C.A.C., he'll have an advantage of seeing me, how to fight." "Nobody spoke, that you two will end up fighting, besides, there is a low chance of such gradiuation." Ayuka precisely explained after clinging her arms on the chest. "Seriously. I have never fought a proper duelist" "Well, that is true, but it's a chance to get some sort of a better idea of what it does." Tim was still rather unsure, but with courage finally giving out, he agreed. "Fine...." ("It's true that he doesn't have a real advantage in a one on one duel, unable to control his own movement. that's going to be a problematic situation. but, that way, he might be able to learn, what he is capable of rather his Ginken, of course.") Wondering in her thoughts, Ayuka stepped back with the rest. "I hope, he isn't actually a total weakling." Acting tough and polite, Codey quickly decided to keep his distance away from others, on the opposite side of them standing. "Tim's. going to fight? What?" Myles wondered in forgotten confusion. "He has no skill with sword, how could he fight? You trying to kill him!?" "Calm down. he won't just fight on his own he's got his Ginken with him maybe." "Come on! Sayori, can you do something to prevent it?!" Only staying quiet, Sayori faced ahead. "Oh come on, why did they even take you with them you're rather annoying with all the serious and murder thoughts." Sayori proceeded to ignore Myles however, she was quietly getting annoyed. With the two Ginkenians prepared to begin a duel, Tim seemed extremely stressed. ("I don't have to win. I just gotta prove that I can fight.") Inara raised her right arm. "Follow my lead and do exact thing that I do." Tim unamused to his bottom pants, quickly raised his right arm in the air, Yellow aura surrounded Inara once it whirled around her body to the tip of her palm, with Tim following the same way with blue aura, the two aura trails flew in the air, once fusing together as if they were two magnets. Confused already, Tim spectated the area in confusion, once the trailing aura exploded through the air. "Zero Dimension! Open!" Two of them called, right after an immediate extension, sparkling aura shields appeared around their body once it dispersed. The area seemed to be given a field and covered the floor with tempted lines, Inara grabbed what seemed to be her one handed sword when standing in a straight pose. Reaching on his back, Tim dragged out his Ginken, right after. "How.... the. this really just happened and was created just from our aura?" "That's right, Shinkaku Tim." Tim was caught in surprise after Inara called out his name. Deciding to forget about the idea, Tim quickly prepared without him moving his body.
"Get ready! I'll go first!" After the count down finished, the duel began. Inara stood up and ran towards Tim with her sword drawn back, she quickly jumped to the side, and accelerated with her speed. Tim's body shifted as he stepped aside quickly, Inara swung quickly toward Tim's head. ("Is she joking! There is no way! I'll get killed if I get sliced in the face !!") Tim leaned back when he saw the sword before his eyes, surprised that he could avoid the attack, Tim quickly stepped back, caught his balance as he quickly moved his legs to the side, he swung his sword quickly, when Inara, quickly created a hand spring to the back and avoided, Tim quickly put his foot forward, and ran forward, swinging his sword as Inara quickly landed obliquely, bent down and avoided the attack as she quickly kicked her foot against Tims left leg, as she hit him, she quickly approached behind his back and swung back with speed. Tim felt the pain as the sword he held was pulled back, he defended his back, Inara was caught in surprise as Tim turned quickly around the room where he was standing, and swung from the bottom up. Inara defended the attack with her sword, and quickly pushed forward, Tim slipped back due to force.

"Spring Force!" When the girl called for an attack, Tim got scared. With her hands back, Inara quickly set her foot aside and swung forward to fire a red beam of light that flew into the air in a twist. With no idea what Inara was doing, Tim checked the air. He noticed the unknown trails falling towards him, surprised and frightened, Tim's body continued to jump to the side, he avoided parachute attacks as he ran quickly with a step forward, the blow was heard behind him as he quickly overturned , without observation, Tim moved quickly to the side as the next blow hit the path of him. He looked quickly with a twist as he heard the following attacks. Unaware of what he was doing, Tim quickly jumped forward and avoided the next parts of the attack. With a run against Inara, Tim quickly rolled over as he held his sword with both hands, in a 360-degree turn and jump, Tim quickly landed with his right foot in front of Inara and swung with incredible speed and power forcing Inara to defend herself after an emergency. After defending the attacks, Inara was defeated on the ground as she quickly got up, swung her sword back, and began to gain modest energy. With observation, Tim took the next step when he felt a tremor behind his back. "Underground Charge!" He turned quickly, unaware when a modest attack of energy flew off the ground, and exploded the ground, sending Tim through the air. Tim, while flying, fell to the ground and rolled over his shoulders, with the reflection and a bounce of his body, Tim rolled on the ground as he crashed into a tree, feeling the first temples of the given pain, which he was not used to.
"That has to hurt!" There is no way he could still fight after such experience!" Myles spoke with a loud worry. Slowly standing up in pain, Tim faced to the front of seeing his opponent. "Another problem is... his Ginken still hasn't had enough time to unleash its proper powers with Carissa's soul, they are both still beginners." Myles was surprised after hearing such explanation. "But.... if this keeps up, he Will definetly lose his will to fight, he's guranteed a loss!"
To be continue...
