The first to accept the challenge was the duo of Kalen and Taria, known within the order for their precise coordination and impeccable timing. They were a formidable pair, with Kalen's brute strength perfectly complementing Taria's nimbleness and finesse. Not far behind them were Viren and Lya, a duo who had consistently demonstrated their adaptability and strategic prowess in previous spars.
Caden and Solari exchanged a brief look, a silent communication passing between them. They both knew that underestimating their opponents would be a grave mistake.
Kalen lunged forward, his powerful strikes aiming to throw Caden off balance. Simultaneously, Taria circled around, trying to find an opening to land a quick hit. Solari, on the other hand, was busy parrying and dodging the combined assault of Viren and Lya, who worked in perfect tandem, their moves fluid and unpredictable.
