A brother against brother fight is always interesting.

Comparing their everything, skills, weapons, tactics, and even looks is something people always want to do; seeing the contrast of two people who grew up so close to each other.

Sadly, I already knew who the cooler brother was.

Adran was the dorky lame-looking one. Now, with all the equipment I gave him, it looked like he was trying much too hard to look cool.

But you can't blame him for that, cause I gave him the armor. It was the only thing I could do not make him look like a complete dope but also give him something with good- well, semi-good stats on it.

Iadra, on the other hand, was naturally way cooler than him.

He was a twink, clearly, who was dual wielding twin swords with differently colored buffs, I'd imagine, while basically wearing black-bluish armor that was just cloth.

It wouldn't provide any protection at all in the real world, well, not 'real' world. To all the people here it's the real world, for me it is A real world. I should have said, 'my old world' instead- Who really cares, rule of cool and all that, right?

It appeared to be a cross between a trench coat and whatever the heck the Akatsuki were wearing.

But who knows? In this world, appearances had nothing to do with practicality. Maybe the only thing that mattered was comfortability.

Now, let's see how strong that guy is.

"Faye, show me this guy's stats, pronto!"

Dang, that's some character sheet. Most likely the strongest guy I have seen yet, not counting Leoren cause I didn't look at his stats.

I wonder what a few of these abilities do.

Like [Ordered Aversion].

"[Ordered Aversion]Passively predicts movement of units for up to 1.5 seconds, 3 while concentrated. Automated blocking will be attempted while being attacked.If the target is too fast or the attack too strong the block will fail.This ability scales with STR and DEX and the user's level.This ability is always active."

Hey, that's an actual useful skill for fighting. Adran really got the short straw.

[Twin Elements] and [Spirits' Chosen], respectively gave the user proficiency in two elements at the same time, but he would lose those effects if it's above, or below, two, and a drastic increase in elemental damage, in exchange for your wits.

That's why Iadra was missing 3 of his intelligence and wisdom stats.

He could be a main character, not THE main character, of course. That'll be me, thank you.

In retrospect, why couldn't I have met him instead of Adran?

He was clearly better in every way, fighting and aesthetic-wise.

It already had been a few minute since the match officially started but the two of them were just staring at each other.

"Can you start already?" I yelled.

"Will you start, brother? I give you the first blow but I wonder if you can even attack me at all?" Iadra asked Adran, pointing one of his swords at him, "can you truly? Do you have the will for it? I see you standing before me but not as a man but as a fearful child. Surrender now, even if it will stain our family name I do not want to fight my brother if his heart is not in it but if you refuse to then I won't hold back."

"Can I?" Adran yelled up to me hopefully.

"What? Of course not! Even with his strength, you should be, at least, as strong as him. ...I think."

"You think?" He said, alarmed.

"Jesus Christ, just fight and see! Can't be that hard, right? So, stop being such a pussy and fight your brother to the death!" I screamed in frustration.

Jeez, and here I gave that guy everything he needs, skills, weapons, armor, even my treasured jewelry and what? He doesn't wanna fight? The nerve of some people.

The only thing I couldn't give him was confidence.
