”Are you ready?” The staff suddenly interrupted Leo from his thoughts.

Hearing the staff's question, Leo quickly pulled himself back together and nodded his head to the former in response.

”Then begin,” The staff announced the start of Leo and Edi's fight.

Whooosh!

Leo didn't waste any time as he immediately lunged himself straight towards Edi's direction.

Seeing this, Edi panicked for a bit before quickly taking out his weapon and putting it before him to block Guild Leader Loki's attack.

However, Leo abruptly stopped in his tracks the moment he arrived in front of Edi. Following that, he put a lot of force onto his feet and soon after made a summersault.

Edi could only make both of his eyes follow Guild Leader Loki's figure flying above him as he was caught unprepared by the sudden change of his action.

As soon as Leo appeared just right above Edi, his hands made a swift wave motion. At the tip of his fingers, two daggers appeared and shot towards the latter's head.

Clang!

Szhhhhs!

”Argh!” Edi cried out in pain while looking at the dagger that had embedded itself into his left shoulder. Fortunately, he was able to raise his sword when Guild Leader Loki shot his daggers. Otherwise, he would be dead right now. However, he was not fortunate enough to block the two daggers, allowing one of them to hit him.

The moment Leo landed on the ground, he immediately raised one of his feet. He soon threw a kick towards Edi's hand that was currently holding his sword.

Bang!

Whooosh!

Clang!

With the powerful force of Leo's kick, Edi was unable to hold onto his weapon, causing it to fly a few meters of distance away from him.

After kicking Edi's weapon, Leo quickly followed up by kicking the former's head.

Boom!

Edi blocked Guild Leader Loki's kick by raising both of his arms in front of his head and crossing it together. But because of the powerful force of the latter's kick, he still can't help himself from retreating one meter to his back with both of his arms also started numbing from the pain.

”Not bad,” Leo complimented.

”I was just lucky,” Edi humbly responded.

”Being humble is good, but if you clearly achieve things with your own skills, then it would be the same as underestimating yourself if you don't admit to that. And remember, too much humbleness is arrogance,” Leo shook his head.

”I understand,” Edi clasped both of his hands together to express his appreciation for Guild Leader Loki's teaching.

”Good,” Leo said with a smile on his face. It wasn't really necessary for him to say any of those lines. Still, he can't help himself after seeing Edi trying his best not to be easily defeated by him. At the very least, he should recognize his ability.

”Then, let's continue,” Leo stated before lunging himself once again towards Edi.

This time, after his skill got recognized by Guild Leader Loki personally, Edi was no longer panicking or feeling nervous. He raised both of his hands, holding the new sword that he had just taken out from his Storage Ring, fully prepared to receive and counter to any of Guild Leader Loki's attacks.

Waving his hand, Leo took out the pair of Death Wake Dagger from his Storage Ring. Using this weapon to fight against Edi only means one thing, he considered the latter as a worthy opponent to fight.

”I'll be taking you seriously now,” Leo informed Edi.

”I'm prepared,” Edi responded confidently.

Whooosh!

Clang!
