"Man, I'm so excited about the matches today."

"What's there to be excited about? This warrior will get destroyed in less than a minute."

"Yeah, I know, but I still want to know how he fights. I mean, he got accepted into the Contender Department, right? This means that he has a fourfold Spirit Sense like everyone else. Even if he is a warrior, there must be something special about him, right?"

"Sure, but he's still a warrior. He's probably extremely powerful compared to normal Mages, but we are not normal Mages, are we?"

"Who knows? Maybe he will hold out for a couple of seconds. I want to see what a warrior can do."

"What are you two talking about? You honestly think we will get to see the warrior's power? Pfft, as if! I think he will explode before he can even show his power. Did you guys forget who his opponent is?"

"It's Erel, right? Do you know what Erel can actually do? I've never seen him fight, but I've heard he has a Dual Affinity of Time and Light."

"Nope, no idea. No one ever saw him fight. He is getting all his resources from all the smaller trials, and due to his Affinity, no one has challenged him to a duel yet. Also, I heard that he isn't the biggest fan of killing, which is why he never challenged anyone."

"Huh, but then why did he challenge the warrior?"

"Wouldn't you? I mean, I feel kind of insulted that a warrior is in the Hibye. I have like three friends that are nearly as powerful as me, but they still weren't accepted into the Hibye. Yet, some random warrior got accepted?"

"Also, maybe Erel just thinks that this warrior represents some easy resources. Wouldn't you?"

"Sure, but it still feels weird. I mean, is Erel truly as powerful as everyone thinks? No one ever saw him fight, after all."

"No idea, could be, couldn't be."

Several members of the Hibye were slowly arriving at the central arena. Whenever there was a life-and-death duel, everyone would be informed, and they were allowed to watch.

This had several reasons.

First of all, by making this a public event, no one could accuse the Lightning Manor of choosing their favorites and having them win the duel.
