Edward gritted his teeth as he stared at Jared.
Something swirled within him. It wasn't hate or rage.
No... it was awe!
'I've forgotten how amazing Jared can be!'
Sure, he had gotten a lot stronger compared to before, but Jared was also bound to have experienced some growth as well.
'Pulling my punches will be an insult to his power.'
With that in mind, Edward reached deep into himself and resolved to do all it took to achieve victory.
'Mind Blade... Martial Zone... and even my Constellation, Aries...' His muscles tensed and the energy he exuded rose to an immeasurable degree.
'... I will use everything at my disposal!'
**********
'That's the spirit, Edward.' I smiled, looking at my opponent's resolute expression.
It looked like he was finally going to take things seriously.
Unfortunately for him, so was I.
"Playtime is over."
