Amidst the raucous jeers of the crowd,
Enzo surveyed the scene, a subtle smile gracing his lips, "Cruise, since you possess such courage, I shall grant you this opportunity. However, for the sake of fairness, I propose that Thunder Mage allow you three initial strikes. What say you?"
At Enzo's words, a flicker of surprise crossed Cruise Main's eyes, swiftly replaced by resolute determination as he nodded, "Very well, I accept!"
Enzo turned to Thunder Mage, "Thunder Mage, will you grant Cruise these three strikes?"
Thunder Mage furrowed his brow momentarily, then relaxed, offering a serene smile, "As Lord Enzo commands, I shall comply."
Thus, Enzo declared the terms of this extraordinary challenge, positioning Cruise Main and Thunder Mage upon the stage.
Taking a deep breath, Cruise Main's eyes shimmered with unwavering resolve. He formed intricate hand signs, murmuring arcane incantations, as a delicate aura of magic enveloped him.
