System vs Rebirth

*Clink!*

"Kh!" Their swords clashed again as Shawn was pinned to the ground. He tried to fight back, but Noel kept pushing with his strength.

Both Noel and Shawn were staring at each other without using their Spiritual Energy. Noel knew that Shawn would use his Spiritual Energy the moment he used the Ignition Sword and vice versa. So, they were trying to wait until one of them gave up this waiting game.

It seemed Shawn was the first to give up. However, Shawn didn't want to make himself look bad. Hence, Shawn let out a burst of Spiritual Energy not on his sword but on his back.

*Bam!*

Noel got pushed back for a bit due to the momentum produced by the impact that hit the ground. Still, Noel gritted his teeth and stomped Shawn's stomach to prevent him from leaving the ground.

Unfortunately, that was actually a bad move. The real reason for Shawn to use that burst of Spiritual Energy was due to the soft ground. A single burst slightly crushed the soil, causing him to fall a bit further.

This caused Noel to lose his balance because it was deeper than he imagined.

Using this opportunity, Shawn kicked Noel in the stomach, blowing him away. Noel might get pushed back a bit, but he didn't get any real injuries.

At the same time, Shawn managed to get up while holding his stomach.

"…" Shawn and Noel narrowed their eyes. They realized they might need a lot of time to defeat the opponent before them.

As if having their own plans, Noel and Shawn jumped toward each other.
