Riven ran through the forest. After a few minutes, he spotted Mathias fighting Noel. Mathias was fast with the way he used his magic—he was an earth user, and his casting speed was very quick. He shot out boulders at a very impressive rate.
But Noel was no ordinary candidate. He was faster, cutting down the rocks as they came. Mathias had not noticed it, but Noel was slowly getting faster with his sword. He was gradually building up an opening to attack Mathias and win.
'I have to make the switch at the right moment,' he thought. He already knew that the blonde boy would be coming this way, so he waited.
"Aren't you going to help me?" Mathias yelled while still chucking rocks at Noel.
"I can't now, my opponent has arrived," Riven said. And right at that moment, a spear shot from the sky toward his head. He swatted the spear to the side and retreated backward rather than charge in.
