The crowd erupted into cheers as Carl and Jake entered the stage, standing against each other.
Carl stood in a defensive posture, hiding his body behind his shield, while Jake took a beautiful spear, ready to attack Carl at any time.
"The clash of two of the emperor's weapons", one of the spectators shouted, as the crowd was curious to see how it would turn out.
The match began as Jake flared his mana, instantly appearing behind Carl, and plunged his spear towards him.
Carl was too slow to react, but instinctively, he formed a small shield from his mana. The spear clashed against the shield, breaking through it, pushing Carl forward.
"You are not worthy of the Emperor's weapon; I will be taking it back", Jake spoke as he rushed towards Carl again, slashing his spear towards him.
"Shut up", Carl grunted as he parried against the incoming attack before thrashing Jake with the shield.
