Third person POV
After that, both sides shook hands to seal their reconciliatory agreement as Otherworlders. And then, Aren noticed Russell's sword on Russell's waist. "Why do you have your sword with you?" Russell then glanced at his scabbard containing his sword for a bit and looked back at him. "Oh, um…I brought it just in case you would fight me…"
Aren was a bit surprised to hear that but chuckled away, saying, "Come on, I am not that selfish like my past self. Say, wanna a duel with me for fun? I'll go easy on you."
"What? Sure, but it's not fair when you make it easy. I had been training daily to sharpen my skills. Make it a bit harder!"
Aren was taken aback by his request at the end of his response but accepted it anyway, wanting to make their duel a little bit more intense.
And so, their duel began. Russell unsheathed his trust sword while Aren unsheathed his while activating his Crows ability. Then, both sides charged at each other and clashed their blades against each other.
[Clash!]
Russell then activated his Lighting magic and flowed it through his blade to strike Aren.
Seeing that, Aren responded almost immediately by having his summoned crows block his attacks.
As the crows were electrocuted to a crisp, both sides discharged from each other after a little explosion between them.
"Woah! Nice one, Aren-san," Russell responded to this whilst enjoying the duel with positive excitement and energy.
"Ha! You, too, as well, Bus Driver Hero!" Aren replied back in the same mood as the Renad bus driver.
And so, both sides continued to clash against each other, with Aren using his Crows ability to try to gain an upper hand against Russell. Russell, meanwhile, kept on using his Secondary abilities against him, too. At the same time, some of Russell's friends at his home became worried for him, so they set off to search for him. Rai, Ria, and Kelly transformed into their dragon forms so Adrian and Azalea, as well as Leon, Quinn, Masha, and Sierra, would have something to ride on faster.
