Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis and Frank walked into the "arena" and looked at each other. Gravis looked neutrally, like nothing that happened here had anything to do with him, while Frank looked arrogant and cocky.

Frank took out his sword and pointed it at Gravis in a provocation. "Finally, I get to take revenge on you for taking my house!" he proudly proclaimed in a voice that seemed to look down on everything. "You've been hiding in my house for the last three months, and I never got the chance to fight you!"

The audience whispered to each other. Those two contestants also seemed to have a history. Yet, the audience wasn't stupid. They had seen Gravis' strength, and they wouldn't be so stupid to think that he could lose to Frank.

They all earned their own money and resources themselves and were smart enough to judge the strength of others. They all looked with mocking smirks at Frank. Had his own arrogance blinded him?

Gravis looked at Jaimy and saw Jaimy being a mess right now. He was incredibly embarrassed by his younger brother, and he was violently gripping his hair in frustration as if he was continually shouting, 'Shut up! You're so stupid!' After that, he put his hands together in pleading and was mouthing the words "please," to Gravis.

Why had Jaimy asked Gravis to lose? Jaimy was not stupid and had an impressive will and battle experience. He had everything that a supreme genius needed to ascend, and he, obviously, was also able to judge Gravis' strength accurately. When Jaimy stood before Gravis, Jaimy felt like Gravis could even be a threat to him, even though he was already in the Energy Gathering Realm.

Did he believe that his younger brother could win? Absolutely not! He wasn't even sure if he, himself, could win in a head-on battle with Gravis. Yet, his idiotic younger brother was provoking Gravis, maybe destroying all of Jaimy's begging. Jaimy was wrestling with himself. Frank was his brother, and he loved him, but he was also so incredibly stupid and arrogant.
