30 He is definitely being framed! (EDITED)
The light spirit essence orbs that lined the walls and filled the practice arena with light provided the ideal amount of illumination.
In the center, two young men squared off against each other. They both held a sword in their hands, the polished metal gleaming in the light.
As they circled each other, you could feel the tension mounting between them like a rubber band ready to snap.
"Let's do this." The first, shorter young man smiled and twirled his sword before taking a defensive stance. He kept his feet planted on the ground and raised his blade to eye level.
His opponent mirrored him, readying himself for attack. "Yeah, here I come." His eyes narrowed as he lunged forward, aiming the tip of his sword towards his opponent's heart.
The shorter one had an edge over the taller one, and his eyes narrowed in concentration as he moved around the ring.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two clashed, their swords ringing as they collided over and over again. They danced around each other, testing each other's defenses and looking for openings. Thanks to years of training and experience, their movements were precise and quick. As the fight went on, they began to use many different martial arts skills with their spirit essence energy manipulation.
Both used Fire Spirit Essence, but their energy was very different from each other.
A fiery golden-red aura enveloped the first young man's sword, making it burn hotter with every strike. As he swung at his opponent, the air sizzled from the heat.
Meanwhile, the second young man coated his blade in an eerie blackish-red flame, causing it to leave trails of dreadful fire in the air with every slash.
With each of their hits, an explosion rocked the arena.
This is how warriors who awaken their spirit can control and focus their element into a martial art skill that can be used to attack or defend themselves from enemies.
All of a sudden, Argon's phone rang and interrupted Jackob's thoughts. He pulled out his phone from his pocket and realized one of the caretakers was calling him. He picked it up.
"Hello, Uncle Sam. How are you doing?" Argon asked.
"Hello, Argon. I have something important to share. This morning, I heard Mr.Oswald being arrested for torturing kids in a different orphanage. It seemed he also killed a girl." Uncle Sam told Argon about Oswald, as he knew Argon was close to Oswald and looked up to him as a father figure.
"What? How can it be possible? Uncle Sam, don't be absurd. Uncle Oswald cannot do anything like this. I believe in him." Argon asserted it with full conviction.
"I am telling you the truth, Argon. You should check everything, and the police even have the evidence." Uncle Sam replied.
"Ok, Uncle Sam, I will check everything." Argon ended the call soon after.
Jackob appeared worried as he stared at Argon's furious expression and asked, curious to know the situation, "Bro, what happened? Why are you angry?"
Argon told him, clenching his fists in rage, "Uncle Oswald was arrested by the police for harming the kids in the different orphanages, killing one girl named Emma."
Jackob became stunned upon learning Oswald committed such crimes. "Bro, are you kidding? How can Uncle Oswald do such a thing? There must be some mistake."
Argon gritted his teeth and shouted, "Yes! There must be some misunderstanding! He is being framed!"
Seeing his friend so riled up, Jackob tried to comfort Argon. "Don't worry, bro, I'm sure we will clear things up soon enough."
