The training ground was silent except for the murmurs of the gathered staff. The tension in the air was intense as Kai and Liang faced each other, their eyes locked in an intense stare.
Kai tightened his grip on his twin daggers, his heart pounding in his chest. He knew this wouldn't be an easy fight, but he wasn't going to back down.
Liang, on the other hand, stood with confidence, his sword glinting in the sunlight. His ability, "Overwhelming," had always given him an edge in combat, and he fully intended to use it to put his younger brother in his place.
"Ready when you are," Kai called out, his voice steady despite the feeling of unease within him.
Liang's smirk widened. "Very well, little brother. Let's see what you've got."
In an instant, Kai vanished from his spot, reappearing a few feet to the left. Liang's eyes tracked his movement with ease, his ability already shifting his perception of time.
