"So Allen, are you ready for your match against the prince?," Thomas asked, while Allen, Cecily and him were all walking towards the training room after class.
"I believe so, though I don't know how skilled August is," Allen admitted.
"Well, just know I will be rooting for you!," Thomas smiled as he gave him a thumbs up.
"Thanks"
They arrived at the training room, where everyone else was already there.
August was in the middle of swinging his sword, while Alice watched from a distance. She seemed to be curiously eyeing his movements.
Stephen was sitting on the side in the bleachers, talking to no other than Rose herself. It seems she finally decided to come back to the training room with everyone, though Allen wasn't sure if it was a coincidence she decided to come back on the day he would be dueling against August.
Stephen stopped talking for a moment to turn and wave to the three of them. Rose noticed his change in attention, and looked over and saw them. Once she saw Allen, she quickly looked away.
"Oh, Rose actually came today," Thomas pointed out.
"Yeah, she did," Allen said awkwardly, once again remembering what happened between Rose and himself.
Once August had noticed Allen had arrived, he quickly made his way over to him.
"Ah, you're finally here," August nodded.
"Our classes are all the way in the back, so it's a bit of a track to get over here," Allen laughed.
"I see," August nodded. "Ah, and I see you brought your friends as well with you. Are they also your club members as well?"
"Yeah, they are. I'm sure Stephen probably filled you in," Allen responded.
"Thomas, and Cecily, right?," he politely asked.
"Yes sir!," Thomas grinned.
"Ah, I haven't introduced myself. I am the First Prince of England, August Lionheart. But you both can call me August. A pleasure to meet both of you," he smiled.
"Pleased to meet you," Cecily respectfully nodded.
"Yeah, nice to meet you as well," Thomas awkwardly said. He probably wasn't sure how to do formalities.
"Well now, Allen. Should we start our duel?"
"I'm ready whenever you are"
"Good to hear. I have been waiting patiently," he grinned, with a determined look on his face.
The two of them went into the center of the room, preparing themselves. They had selected Stephen to oversee the duel, as he knew both of them and everyone decided he would be the best person to oversee it. Everyone else was in the stands together, eagerly waiting for the duel to happen.
Allen once again glanced over at Rose. However, she did her best not to make eye contact with him. Guess he will have to try talking to her later, if she is ready.
"So, how will this duel work? What rules are you two wanting to set?," Stephen asked, watching both of them prepare themselves.
"I know I requested this duel, but I hope you can let me set the rules for this duel?," August asked politely.
"No, I don't mind. What were you thinking, August?," Allen asked.
"I would like to have a duel, without the use of magic," August declared.
"August, you want to have a magic duel... without magic?," Stephen asked, confused.
Stephen wasn't the only one that was confused. Everyone else in the room seemed to be, including Allen. Why would he want to do a duel without the use of magic?
