The next day.
"Cain, are you awake?" Farryn knocked on Cain's room. The room seed quiet for a bit. "Coming…" Cain replied.
ZIII! The door slowly opened, and Cain stared at her, "Did father get anything from Able?"
Farryn pointed with her thumb to the main door. "The pirates' got words from the bartender." She then snuck a look inside the room. She could see Zaleria, Bela, and Gracie there…
Cain cut her vision, "And? What did they say?"
She took a step back, "Ah, yeah. They said that the eting is going to be held on the mountain's summit at dusk, and only a person is allowed."
Cain looked at her, scratching his head. "So, I have the full day empty?"
"Yes!"
"Give sothing to do. I can't sit all day long," Cain asked with an empty face. He usually trains with his father or experints with magic. Chad was busy in the maze trying to sort Able's situation out. He said the maze was a room without ears.
Alice, who was in the other room, approached them. "In that case, mind sparing with ?" She asked, and Cain gave her a puzzled face.
"Sparing with you? Fighting?"
"Yes. Sword, fists, and bows. I was training with Ariel, but she is occupied with Chad. You will do for a replacent." She smiled, and Cain laughed.
"Let's go then."
…
After he got ready, he headed to the maze. In the middle of the empty white room, he saw Alice standing alone. Staring at him with her blue eyes and a blank face. "Shall we start?" She said.
Both of her borrowed heavy armor and long sword have seen a lot of fight, as indicated by their countless scratches and dents. From the engraving, Cain could tell they were from the capital's royal guard. She most likely took them from either Isbert or Noel.
"Can you fight in those?" Cain asked, staring at her, "I bet the armor is squashing your chest like dough."
Alice smiled. "Well, Noel doesn't have much to her chest. But don't worry. It's tight but not suffocating." She answered, banging on her chest plate.
Cain smiled. "It will exhaust you faster. If you can't breathe well, then your stamina goes puff."
"This place is a bit cramped. I doubt we will use it. But it's better to have more space." Cain said as he created a demi-plane.
"I didn't intend on using magic. That's why I brought a sword with ." Alice said, walking toward Cain slowly but steadily.
