Arden walked back toward Garion's side.
Garion grinned proudly. "Good job out there, kid."
Arden smiled faintly and bowed slightly. "Thank you, Master."
Dahlia crossed her arms, smirking as she eyed him.
"Not bad, junior. Looks like I'll have to start taking my training more seriously. Can't have my own junior brother beat me like that."
Arden then rubbed the back of his neck, embarrassed. "I-I didn't mean to..."
Garion laughed loudly. "Don't apologize for beating her to it! That's the whole point!"
Aveline also walked toward Arden and smiled softly.
"You've really changed, Arden. You carry yourself differently now... You have also become so strong that you can even defeat Elder Asro now."
Arden nodded respectfully. "It's all thanks to my master, Aunt Aveline."
Aveline smiled, hearing that. Meanwhile, Garion suddenly turned to Avelien and grinned.
"By the way... It's already the time for you, right?"
Aveline blinked. "Mine?"
Garion pointed toward the arena.
