Duel (1)

Kai looked at Levi, expecting to see fear or hesitation, but instead, what he saw was pure shock etched across Levi's face. For a moment, Kai was puzzled. It wasn't the type of shock that came from fear of an impending fight—it seemed deeper, almost as if Levi couldn't believe what was happening.

To be honest, Kai didn't even know who Levi was. The first time he saw him was when Levi stepped out of the portal, and Kai had only acted as he did because Levi didn't seem to come from any prominent family.

There would be no backlash from messing with a commoner, so Kai decided to take the risk. He desperately wanted a way to close the gap between him and his sister, so he accused an innocent person of something they hadn't done. But Kai didn't regret it.
