Glyscyra truly did as the team had predicted, and they were starting to think she inherited some things from their unruly party member, Grad.
She was boasting about her shooting skills, and about how she was able to think on her feet, she was blasted about her hand to hand combat skill, and Aion felt sorry for the guy that had unknowingly decided to let an Amazonian fight hand to hand, something they were taught right from their childhood.
Rill suddenly sucks in a deep breath, as he walks forward. "I might not be able to challenge an high ranker than you, but whomever it is I challenge will lose to me."
"Oooh!" The team all exclaimed, except from Meriel who hasn't still been able to mingle well with them.
Aion looks at her and as she looks up their eyes makes contact and he nods at her, to which she meekly puts her head back down.
Rill climbs the rock as well, and this time he didn't need to shout to get attention as every was more than eager to see what the next member of the team could do.
Rill sighs as he then solidify his posture, he removed his wand from the inside of his blue robe.
"I RILL, CHALLENGE THE RANKER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FOR HIS PRIVILEGE."
A few seconds of silence, then the person that was challenged came out of the crowd and climbs the rock.
The guy was a giant as he stood at almost eight feets tall, his huge muscular arms as well all just makes his hugeness more pronounced. He easily towers over Rill, but that was not what caught the worry of the team, but it was rather Rill's shadowed face.
It was extremely obvious on his face that Rill was extremely annoyed beyond measure, the hatred and bloodlust spilling from him was even more to tell about.
"Why is Rill like that, he isn't someone to just direct bloodlust at someone, or to just hate anyone." Glyscyra says as she gets a nod from Grad.
"He is like water, calm and easygoing, but when something goes against water natural laws, that thing will only face the wrath of water, and I think this guy has done something terrible to Rill before." Grad says as he gave his opinion.
Aion looks at the giant that was cockily smirking at Rill, and then at Rill that was blinded by rage.

Aion sees his stats plainly, but the main catch of his interest was the name.
[Name: Lawrence. Surname: Ithis.]
[Name: Rill. Surname: Ithis.]
"They are brothers." The whole team looked at Aion, even Meriel was shocked at that fact.
"His brother, but he holds killing thoughts, I can feel it the most!" Meriel spoke for the first time since joining them.
"They are brothers, they should be half-brothers and they are definitely on killing terms to each other." Aion says as everyone face back to the scene.
The giant had gone close to Rill and was now currently looking down on him.
"Ohohoh! Brother, I never expected you to be here, how has life been to you and Rack?" As he says this Rill finally looks up at him with eyes that threatens to spill out fire.
The guy looks around, and looks back at Rill. "What's wrong you and Rack are always tightly close, he is meant to be at the bottom of the rock, but I don't even see him around at all... Is he dead." He whispers the last part but Rill still hears clearly as that was his intention from the start.
"You know..." He turns around as he starts walking away. "... Father has been worried about you both, but don't worry I and my mother are helping him forget his worries so he's in good health"
"But you both shouldn't have gone against me, you wouldn't have been disowned with even leaving with a penny, you might have been working under me by now but you'll still be living well and rack wouldn't be dead."
"LAWRENCE! Say Rack is dead once more and you'll join him!" Rill says as he angrily clenches hard on his wand, effectively snapping it in half.
Lawrence and Rill both look at the broken wand, and even the crowd were sorry for him. With the wand he brought out, it was clear he was a mage and mages that has not yet reached the spirit realm can't control without an arcane transmit.
As although mages are able to control energy before others since people of the body refining realm can't control energy, and once one can control energy, they have successfully become a nascent realm experts and they will be able to channel energy in their attacks, but mages and sorcerers are able to do that earlier on even as body refiners, but they won't be able to do anything physical with it, like infuse their bodies ore boost their punches, but rather they only do the magical like create a energy hand to grab something and so on.
Advantages and disadvantages, and for the mages. Their advantage is their earlier usage of energy, while their disadvantage is that they wouldn't be able to do anything with a wand or staff untill spirit realm, and even then most still use wands and staves because they feel more comfortable using it and that is what gives them crazy boosts in power...
... Their comfortability.
Using the chance of Rill's wand breaking, Lawrence uses his huge leg and smashes it against Rill's unprotected chest sending him flying away.
Before Rill could even land, Lawrence had used his long legs to run up to him and grab him in the air by his leg.
With a twirl he throws him away, sending him to the opposite direction, this time he allows him to land as will crashes his head against the hard rock, opening a wound on his forehead and staining the rock with red.
Rill weakly uses his arms to push himself back up as he stands up on his feet. He runs forwards ad he start throwing punches at Lawrence, but they only make dull impacts as they hit his abdomen, not enough to even cause him to flinch.
Grabbing Rill's neck with one hand, Lawrence easily lifts him high up, while Rill struggles hard to remove his hand.
"Rill you know, I've always hated you for being father's best son." He says as he slams his thick fist against Rill's chest
"He loved you more than all of us." With another sentence came another fist.
"You were the weakest yet he loved you." With each sentence came a fist, slamming hard against Rill's chest sometimes even making cracking sounds.
"I always tried my hardest and best to make him proud, but he held you above us each time." Another punch, this time a clear cracking sound could he heard.
"I don't know what he saw in you that he loved you so much when you were nothing but just a weakling!" Two punches this time one to his side rib, and the other to his face, breaking his nose.
"But now whether he loves you or not, I have proven to be the best son, and you are nothing but a weakling who couldn't even protect Rack from dying." He throws him up as he throws a deadly punch at his chest.
Like quicksand, his punch got stuck. He looks up and sees in front of Rill is a mass of water, swirling in a perfect circle, and the impact from his punch was swallowed by the water.
Rill's eyes was glowing blue and his hair had turned to water. Water was appearing from thin air, and adding into the swirling water as the water spun more and more.
"I told you not to say that."
"No! He is out!" Glyscyra says in shock as she stares at the scene, Aion and Grad along with Meriel all look at her.
"What's wrong, who is out?" Grad asks as they waited for Glyscyra reply while watching the scene.
They only see Rill floating calmly in the air, great waves of water element surrounds the area and water is being drawn from absolutely nowhere, as there is no water spot in the area, it was a dry land, but Rill was actively still drawing water from the air.
"The tiger in him is out!" Glyscyra replies as they all focus back on the fight.
Rill was was morphed into one of terror, instilling fear and horror into Lawrence. His eyes glowing blue and tightly squinted, his nose his dragged up and twitching, then his lips widen as his gritted teeth shows, and with a snarl blue surges wildly into the area, and all the water turns into glaciers and spears as they all shot at Lawrence.
