As the noon sun shines brightly over their heads, Red and Val stood on a platform made of Ice created by multiple Water Magic users on board the ship.
Because they both wanted to duel, the captain of the Iron Beast authorized a temporary halt in their trip to allow the passengers who are curious to watch to see the fight.
While that was happening, some of the passengers had started on a betting game over their duel.
"I won't be using my two swords for this, is that alright?"
"Why not? Wouldn't it be a great advantage to use strong weapons?"
"As much as I love to, they're quite new and I still haven't fully scoped how powerful they are. I may end up removing a limb or two."
"That's alright, I'm a Holy Magic user, I can reattach my limbs."
"What's up with you Holy magic users and your detachable appendages?"
While they casually exchange words, a dwarf standing on a boat at the edge of the platform unties his ship from the platform.
"Are you two gentlemen ready?"
