Raiden pointed lazily at the two boys.
"Rules are simple," he said with a bored deadpan.
"If you manage to defeat me…"
Lightning cracked behind him like a drumbeat.
"I'll treat you to lunch."
He stretched, popping his back as if he were about to take a nap, not fight two prodigies.
"If you can't…"
A thunderbolt flashed at their feet—bright, vicious, but perfectly controlled.
Not even a hair was singed.
"…you're running laps until sunset."
Kaen's wrists ignited in crimson flame.
Rael's eyes sharpened, Verdant Mirror Spirit flaring to life.
Raiden cracked his knuckles.
"Now, both of you…"
Lightning surged outward.
"…come at me."
The moment Raiden's foot shifted, Kaen exploded forward.
"ECLIPSE INFERNO FIST!"
His fist came wrapped in molten red Shinrei, heat distorting the air. The ground behind him cratered from the burst of acceleration.
But Raiden?
Raiden wasn't even looking.
He yawned.
"Too slow, Kaen."
