Akiol sheathed his sword, "I think that's sufficient enough."
Nimin's concentration faltered, "W-What?"
"This isn't some fight to the death, no need to take it so seriously. I think I proved my strength?"
Hundred sighed in relief, "I agree, let's end it here."
"I thought you were going to destroy our house Guild Leader." joked Fare.
Nimin lowered his spear, "Alright. . . I guess?"
Mira was a bit disappointed, he wanted the battle to go on so he could watch. Givale whispered, "Very few make Akiol serious. When he was, he beat a full grown dragon!"
As if reigniting the just fading excitement, Mira's eye lit up. The thought of Akiol managing to beat a dragon was incredibly exciting, even if Givale failed to mention the more important details.
Para shrugged, "The ending of the fight was anticlimactic, but I also appreciate the sparing of our home."
Akiol laughed faintly, "My apologies, but I didn't come along to put on a show."
