Here's the next chapter:

"The Spar Begins"

Larry grinned, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Why don't we all spar and let me see where you're at? Ok, nephew, you first, Ace!"

Ace felt a surge of adrenaline, his heart racing with anticipation. "It's been a while, Uncle Larry! Let's have a good spar!"

Larry pulled out a wooden sword, while Ace drew his real sword. Kai's eyes widened in awe. "Whoa, Ace, you're using a real sword?"

Ace nodded. "Yeah, I'm ready for this!"

G, the quiet bodyguard, spoke up. "Kai, you want to know how strong Larry is?"

Kai nodded eagerly. "Yeah, how strong is he?"

G replied, "Larry is an 8-circle aura user, and a master swordsman who uses the family's Shinsei style. But he specializes in speed and irregular blocking."

Kai's eyes went wide. "Whoa, that's amazing!"

Larry smiled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Enough chit-chat, let's begin! Ace, come at me!"

Ace charged forward, his sword flashing in the light. Larry smiled, his wooden sword at the ready. The spar was about to begin, and it was going to be intense!
