"A duel?! But why?" Logan asked in surprise.
"Why else?" Ali's lips curved, his eyes gleaming with a spark of interest. "You vanished for nearly four months, claiming you'd be back soon. And now you return, saying you never even got the chance to practice layering properly… yet you nailed it in front of me like it was nothing. Not just that, your spells carried destructive force that even an A-class hunter would struggle to unleash."
He steadied his stance, the air around him shifting with intent. "So tell me, Aiden. What were you cooking up in those four months?" He asked the question but then again changed his mind soon. "Never mind, the duel is enough for now. I just want to see what kind of strength, that tiny frame of yours is actually hiding. So don't you dare hold back. If you can impress me, you can go in lower-tier dungeons for solo missions, and that combined attack on the third eye sect, consider it done by the end of this week.
