Wain, Gisle, and Aurora went to the training ground that was located in the two castles. It was a vast field that was enclosed by a solid stone wall.

"Gisle, you look as if you're completely confident of your victory, however, I don't feel your aura." Aurora uttered as she approached the entrance to the training area.

"Well, I'm just too good at hiding it. Go ahead, show me who my opponent will be. If it's not Wain, I'll win with easily." Gisle said in a careless manner as he waved his hand.

"Huh, you're pretty damn arrogant. I hope you live up to my expectations, otherwise, I'll be very disappointed." Aurora grinned as she opened the doors.

Whoooooosh.

At the same time, there was a powerful current of wind with particles of dark and golden energy. There was a thumping sound that caused shock waves that made the ground shake slightly, all this was the consequence of the battle between the two fighters.

"Ahahahahaha, good, you're not bad. Alice, go for it! You can do so much more!" Alas exclaimed with an excited smile on his face before turning into a golden beam.

Bam.

His fist came down on Alice with incredible speed, Alice didn't even turn in his direction, but not because she didn't see it, it just wasn't necessary.

Her pupils narrowed as she instinctively swung her scythe, exactly so that the blade reflected the attack and completely absorbed all the energy.

"Nice, now give him back his power, doubled in size." Dormant Stalker uttered in an ice-cold voice as his blade burst into golden flame.

"Sure." Alice whispered with a slight nod as she stepped forward.

Alice's hands became a blur as the dark-gold blade headed toward Alas, slicing through everything in its path.

Alas' pupils narrowed as he lunged forward with his spear. The blade sliced Alice's attack in two as the tip was at her face, but suddenly her silhouette turned to darkness as she momentarily found herself behind Alas.

"This is the end." Alice uttered while her scythe was headed toward Alas' neck.

He tried to step back as golden streams of wind appeared beside him, but viscous as tar darkness bound his legs.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Alas unleashed most of his aura and a powerful burst of energy threw Alice to the other end of the arena as her back slammed into the stone wall.

"Ahahahaha, you had to raise your strength to deal with Alice, I consider that a defeat for you." Ern exclaimed as he headed toward Alice.

"Damn, she's in Third Chronicle, but her skills are incredible... Why is she so strong?" Alas muttered while in disbelief.

"Hah, you're just overconfident. You men always think women are weak." Erza said with crossed arms.

'You're the last one who should be talking about gender discrimination...' Alas muttered inwardly.

Step. Step. Step.

Aurora stepped forward and everyone turned their attention to her, then their eyes went wide as they saw Wain with Gisle.

"Wain?!" Erza exclaimed with a dazed look.

"Yeah. It's been a long time, hasn't it?" Wain said with a slight smile on his face.

"Damn... You always show up unexpectedly." Ern muttered while helping Alice to her feet.

"Wain... Shit, how could I lose." Alice uttered as she puffed her cheeks.

"Oh, hi." Alas smiled as he waved, then he stared at Gisle, "Who's that with you?"

Wain smirked, pointed at Gisle, and said, "Let me introduce you to the leader of the humans in World of Destiny, Gisle Enge."

"Hey." Gisle said with a calm look as he nodded his head.

'Huh, what a strange guy. He's relaxed, but for some reason, I feel like if I go near him, I'm dead.' Ern inwardly muttered while holding his chin.

"Why did you come?" Erza asked as she raised an eyebrow.historical

"We had a serious talk, but so we can go on from here I want Gisle to defeat some of you." Aurora said in a careless manner with a wave of her hand.

"Hmm? I'm ready!" Ern exclaimed as he unleashed his aura.

Dark blue streams of energy came away from him that made the air beside him distort as his eyes became as deep as the ocean.

"Let's go! Apparently, you're pretty damn strong, since Wain introduced you like that. I'm all in anticipation!" Ern said with an excited smile on his face.

"Well, if that's what Ern wants, I won't get in his way." Alas said as he stepped aside.

"Uhum." Alice nodded.

"Stop." Aurora said in a serious voice as she extended her hand, "I have a better idea. Gisle, it was my will for you to fight, so I'm letting you choose your own opponent."

"What...?" Ern muttered with a disappointed look, "Hey! Pick me! I'm ready!"

"Well, well, how interesting... A demon, an Elf, a girl with a live weapon and..." Gisle muttered as he glanced at Erza, "Who are you?"

"Pfff, isn't it obvious?" Erza frowned as she stretched her arms forward to show energy bands, "I am an Inerian!"

Whoooooosh.

Gisle stepped forward as gray wind currents appeared beside him, then he was right in front of Erza and grabbed her hands.

"I know. I knew it right away." Gisle grinned as his eyes literally pierced her, "Your race is quite interesting, the absolute matriarchy that is explained by both biological reasons and social ones."

"Hmm? So what?" Erza frowned as she twitched her arms, but she couldn't do it.

'What...? He's only holding me lightly, isn't he? How is that possible...?" Erza inwardly muttered while in disbelief.

"You're a woman, I'm a man, so you must be completely confident in your victory, right?" Gisle asked with a sly smile on his face.

"Yes, and?" Erza uttered.

"I want to make a deal with you. You won't turn me down, will you?" Gisle smirked.

"Well, I don't mind. You can't win anyway." Erza shrugged in a careless manner.

Gisle pointed to a hill in the distance and said, "There."

"Hmm? What...?"

"If I beat you, that's where I want our first date to be."
