Blazren stood tall at the center of the vast, empty training field.
Across from him, Skybrand stood silently.
"So this is the arena you picked?" Skybrand narrowed her eyes.
"Good. No buildings to worry about when I beat you."
Blazren cracked his knuckles.
"Come, Skybrand. You're one of the oldest AA-Rank heroes."
"I want to see what makes you special."
Skybrand narrowed her eyes. Without a word, she activated [Skybrand Shift].
Wings of air and light burst from her back as she shot into the sky.
The wind shifted. Dust blew away. Her twin blades floated into her hands, ready.
"You'll regret challenging me."
Blazren smiled and activated [Blazing Mane Shift].
His body burst into flame. His mane lit up like wildfire.
He grew slightly larger, taller. A lion-like tail of fire whipped behind him.
Skybrand hovered above.
"So this is your class, huh? Still just a big fire cat."
"We'll see who's still standing after this."
Skybrand vanished with a flash.
