"None," Rael replied flatly. "We can fight whenever you want, I guess."
Zarkul rolled his eyes. "Your arrogance is stifling. I thought you were as composed as Malinali, but alas, you act as spoiled as the child from long ago."
With those words, he stepped forward, arriving in front of Rael.
"I have a mixed proposal for you. We will fight to the death, but I will use slightly more power. Your goal is to survive against me for exactly one minute. If you can do that, then I will acknowledge you."
"Any reward?" Rael asked with a slight smirk.
However, Zarkul simply shook his head.
"You don't deserve any reward," he said, turning to Kareth. "Throw a rock. We will start whenever it lands on the ground."
Hmm... This guy really is a tsundere for women, Rael thought, rubbing his chin out of instinct, only to realize his beard was long gone.
"Well, are you going to give me a reward if I impress you?" Rael asked one final time.
