Drawing Parallels

This was Eren's first time witnessing someone move in the stagnated world as freely as him. But he wasn't surprised. He knew the guy was loaded. And the money would always find a way to drag the impossible into the realm of possibility.

Eren shot forth with katars drawn. Ivor marched forward with his daggers clenched in his hand. And their first-ever strike against each other took place.

As a result of the weapons clashing with each other, a series of clanking sounds could be heard in the surroundings. The audience could see a series of afterimages of both the lightning-element rankers battling toe to toe against each other.

Ivor parried Eren's jabs almost every time. Likewise, the former dealt with every slash of the latter effectively. It looked like a stalemate to the audience but both the fighters themselves knew Eren had a slight upper hand.
