Trent: I guess you have a slight chance of victory.

Ace(angry look): Are you doubting my strength, Bartender boy?!

Trent: N-No, O-Of course not.

Julie: Hey Ace, stop being so intimidating.

A person suddenly came in into the guild.

Julie and Trent and the other members was surprised, but Ace wasn't.

Person: Guess who's back.

Trent: You.... Who are you?

Person: *Pissed off* IT'S ME! MAX!

Julie: What's with the bandages in your ears?

Max: Well...

-------
Last night..
-------

Max walks down on the street.

Max: Man, that was a long trip. I should hand over this request poster, so Trent can marked it "completed" and collect my reward. *Looks at the time* I guess the guild is already close. Well, I'll just put this on the counter and leave a letter that I completed it.

Max arrived at the guild, and opens the door.

Max: hmm..? I feel an unfamiliar presence.

Max walks slowly.

Suddenly, a table flew out of knowhere.

Max: Shit!

Max quickly used his magic and sliced the table.

Max sensed the presence.

Max once again attacked the direction of the presence, but he sliced the chair in half.

Max: There!

Max tries to pursuit the person, but then, he heard a high pitched scream.

Max: FFFFF******CCKKK!!

Max decided to ran outside.

He took a rest for a bit. He then notices the bleeding of his ears.

Max: Damn that guy or gal, whoever he/she is, I WILL NEVER FORGIVE HIM/HER!!

End of backstory...

Trent: Did you said you were here last night?

Max: Yup

Julie and Trent stared at Ace uncomfortably.

Ace was bursting with anger.

Ace(angry): So, you're the prankster that tries to scare me.

Max(angry): So you're the person who screamed like a little girl.

They both glared at each other (add intense background).

Trent: Whoa! Calm down you two! If both of you are gonna fight, do it outside! Sheesh...

Ace: Yeah, Good Idea.

Max: Sounds good to me.

They both walked outside of the guild while still glaring at each other.

Trent: A class A mage vs. A newbie. This is gonna be intense.

Julie: I'll keep an eye on them.

Julie ran and followed those two.

Ace and Max head straight towards the field.

Ace cracks his knuckles while Max is stretching.

Ace: Don't go crying when you lose to me Deaf ears.

Max: Don't go screaming like a little girl if you lose Girly scream.

Ace: Heh, that's not even a word!

Max's magic circle appeared beside Ace.

Max: Air Slicer!

Thin air blades came out of the magic circle.

Ace quickly dodged it and backs away.

The air blades hits a group of boulders, slicing it into a tiny bit of rubble.

Ace: So this is a class A mage.

Max: Not bad... But...

Max snap his fingers.

Ace was surprised to see that he was surrounded by 15 magic circles.

Max: If you move even an inch, the magic circles will be triggered.

Ace was in a tight spot.

Julie was watching both of them in the distance.

Julie: Ace didn't stood a chance. Max is a powerful wizard of Pixies Scale. He can summon his magic circles in the atmosphere without even moving. He is a feared member of Pixies Scale... Max cyclone, also known as the Aerial Maximus.

Max: Say that you give up, and I will spare your life.

Ace: tsk.
