Somewhere out in the uninhabited parts of the Demon Lands, Elanor and Elaina were duelling. Elanor was pouring everything she had into the fight, but with her lack of experience, it wouldn't be long until she completely exhausted herself.
After all, she only recently had a massive jump in strength and had not yet put in the time to master her newfound powers. Unable to use them efficiently or, in some cases, even apply them properly, it ultimately resulted in her complete defeat, unable to leave a single scratch on Elaina.
*Huff, huff* "I can't even... get... close." My entire body ached with pain, and I barely had any stamina left to take another step.
*Clap, Clap, Clap* "Well done! You've made a lot of progress compared to when you first started. Before, you were like a lost child, but now you know where you are going." Elaina slowly walked up to me with a pair of fans similar to mine.
