Gael has been busy preparing himself to the battle, he has been practicing with his sword even though that there's no need for him to practice since there are no competition between swords but he had always been thinking about the time he lost to a commoner in the swordsmanship competition four years ago. Since then, he never participated in the competition in the following years since her noble pride can't handle the lost.
He always wanted to meet that commoner again that he hired many investigators and even paid huge amount of coins to the guilds in order to find the winner, Alexjin. Spending money and troubling himself to search for his identity and background leaves him in a dead end as no matter where or how he tried to finds him, the winner is like a smoke that vanished into thin air.
