The duel was about to begin. Riven and Mathias stood against Noel and a blonde boy with a spear.
The instructor looked at both sides, and when he was certain that they were ready to begin, he raised his hands, and the arena immediately changed into a thick forest landscape, with large trees that covered their views.
'So this is where we have to fight. Well then, I have to find Noel first.' "I'm going after the one with black hair, you go after the blonde," Riven said. She charged in. He ran at top speed, climbing up the side of one tree. He looked for Noel and saw him running in his direction.
"Bullseye," Riven said and was about to move, but suddenly a spear came out of nowhere toward his head. He reacted fast and dodged the spear—it blasted into the tree behind him.
"Shit, he found me first," Riven said. She pulled his blade, then leaped to another tree to put some distance between them.
