Your POV

The dual has started with the name, Caros Dalegyn. One with a slight spiky straight forward white golden blonde colored hair, yellow eyes, having his yellow-brown armor while having a white long sleeve top and brown gloves. He has his battle trousers while his brown well-fine adventure boots. He has his sword out of his blue grip with a teal gem on the pommel. Silver guard and blade with a black flat surface at the middle, just less than a half. "Let's see how you can handle the power of my swordsmanship." He said.

I stand ready with my sword while having to attack me first. The first clash between swords is straight on. I lean on with a lunge, trying to push. Wrestling my blade with Caros until he shaves his blade off from my sword and sidesteps to my right side. He swings horizontally while my body is struggling to maintain my battle stance. My hands are on the grip tight while guarding with a vertical blade. I swing up, backing him away-! I got kicked to the stomach, my feet are dragging while anchoring my stance.

I look up, seeing Caros holding his sword that is engulfing with lightning. "Electro Raid!" He closes in fast similar to my Falcon Cleave. He swings diagonally. My body is recovering rapidly while I managed to block his attack.

"(I have to use that power similar to what Dane would do!)" I hold my sword horizontally against his diagonal slash. I tried slashing him back but with a spin kick against me. I quickly hold myself, guarding while being knocked back. I tried arc moving from the right where I swing for a heavy slash. He parried my attack and strikes my sword down on the ground. He makes a strike against the left cheek of my face and a second strike with a vertical slash of his sword. I make a critical timing while striking his sword aside. "Falcon Cleave!" I rush in, horizontal slash in a backswing against his chest. A few steps back that he has his chest scratched by the blade of mine.

"Don't get too carried away, useless rat!" Caros charges up electricity to his sword while performing his powerful sword skill. The electric bolts that have turned blue while he has his sword hanging that his point is aiming towards me. "Azure Sword: Lightning Spear!" He thrusts his sword while creating an electric projectile that spears out while it is heading towards my chest.

He has the elemental of electricity while I still don't have any elemental tributes. If that's the case, how can I...No, I am already awakened. Just like before. It's not as a game or anything. It's something I want to try, with the power of my mind and talent. Something I want to try with my own eyes because I was chosen for a reason! The reason for me...is to find the answer about that aftermath from about 18 years ago!

I thought back to who I was while thinking of myself, determined by what character I am. I hold my hand open, suddenly charging wind energy with a spiral absorption, forming a wind with rapid rotation. My eyes are opened while focusing, casting wind power. It stops the lightning spear after contact. "What!?" Caros exclaims. The electricity is being absorbed with a swirl, enhancing the wind element.

"Wind Element: Improved! Electric Vortex Sphere: Sparking Force Burst!" I enhance my first wind skill while bursting out wind force. The lightning spear broke while the wind blowing Caros back. "I did it...!" I felt amazed when I managed to use one of the wind elements without thinking that I need practice. Caros collapses down on the ground while taking electric wind blast damage. I snatch my sword in my right hand while trying to finish him with my instant fast sword skill. My sword glows blue as I dash in. "Falcon Cleave!" I horizontally slash him as he gets knocked down.

A few hits have been delivered. I think I almost got it. "Damn you...! You're dead when I beat you!" Caros stands up while unleashing his blue electric aura. "I have more power of skills than you do! You can't even win with a single power of your attack!" He holds his sword up while sparking his sword with lightning. "Discharging Blue Thunder!" He swings down, having the blue thunder strikes from above. I have my agility enhanced with the wind as I try to move away from the strike fast. I slide but anchoring my stance with my feet dragging away. "Lightning Rain: Blue Lances!" He rapidly fires out electric azure lances with each thrust of his sword.
