Everyone soon found themselves in an arena of sorts. They sat in the stands while Bell was down, waiting for his opponent.

Hestia: I wonder what kind of Bell he's going to fight?

Hephaestus: We'll just have to wait and see.

Down on the field, Rolan was next to Bell and made a giant crystal ball appear.

Rolan: Alright, just place your hand on this ball and your opponent will appear.

Bell: Right.

He nodded and did what was asked. Placing his hand of the orb, it shone slightly before cloaking itself in a blinding light.

Loki: Ah, turn it down!

Ganesha: I am Ganesha!

After a few moments, the light began to die down revealing Bell's first opponent.

Meteria: What?

Riveria: What is this?

Many were shocked to see an older Bell, but what was throwing them off was the elven ears that Bell had. The rest of his outfit consisted of a brown robe, a black battle suit under it and a long staff. That elven Bell was confused at where he was, but Rolan was able to inform him of what was happening.

Belf: I guess I can help with this, if it doesn't bother you.

AN: How I'll be calling this elf Bell. No, it's not a typo.

Bell: I appreciate your help, sir.

Belf: No, it's fine. So, what do I need to do?

Rolan: I'd like you two to fight each other. Give it everything you have.

Belf: Simple enough.

They went to their respective positions and drew their weapons. Bell had his Hestia Knife and Hakugen out while the other had his staff. Many in the crowd were rooting for their Bell, but some elves had to remember which world they were from.

Finn: Hey, Riveria! Are you sure you're rooting for the right Bell?

The high elf was flustered as she was brought out of her staring at the elven Bell. Lefiya was red in the face at seeing a much more handsome version of her rival. At least for Ryuu, she already had feelings for her Bell, but she couldn't deny that an elf Bell was something to look at.

Hestia: Go, Bell!

Welf: You got this!

Meteria: Do your best, son!

Rolan: Both fighters ready?

They nodded.

Rolan: Begin!

To open the fight, Bell threw a firebolt at the ground near Belf who just stood there and let the rabbit have the first move. He cleared the smoke and saw no sign of the rabbit, until he felt danger behind him. He brought his staff to his back to block a strike from Bell. He had to block a few more before Bell backed off.

Belf: Nice try.

Now that the attack was over, Bell raised his staff and shot firebolts of his own towards the ground near Bell, but strangely they didn't explode.

Bell: (What?)

Bell was confused as he look at his opponent who was smiling. Having yet to land a blow on his opponent, Bell tried another flank, but was blocked off again. Meanwhile, his friends were worried about this one sided match.

Welf: Damn, he can't get in.

Finn: I must say, that elven Bell has exceptional technique.

Riveria: He's quite adept at magic as well. I still sense the power from those fire spells in the ground.

Finn's eyes widened when she said that.

Finn: (So that's why my thumb is still throbbing, he's set a trap right under their feet!)

Back in the arena, Bell was getting nowhere and he was beginning to get anxious.

Bell: (Nothing I try is working! I need a new plan!)

They stared each other down as Bell had decided on something crazy again.

Bell: (I doubt this will work, but it's all I have left!)

He quickly gathered his image in his head and charged his Argonaut skill. What was strange was that the white glow his familia was familiar with was beginning to cloak his entire body rather than just his hands.

Belf: (What's he planning?)

Not wanting to give him space, he quickly charged him and aimed to hit Bell with his staff. Bell was giving his spell all of his mental effort to hold it while he tried his best to defend himself. Back in the audience, his friends were wondering what was going on through their friend's head.

Welf: What's he thinking?!

Lili: Is now really the best time to be experimenting something?!

Alise: Kid's got guts, that's for sure!

Tiona: Come on! Don't quit now!

Tione: Why's he not fighting back?

Finn: I'd guess it's more of a can't rather than won't. Whatever he's doing won't allow him to attack back.

While everyone was making guesses as to what Bell was doing, his kid's already knew as they've seen and done it countless times before.

Ardi(Emb): Looks like Dad's finally doing it.

Alise(Emb): Yep, should be good if it works.

They heard their talk, but were lost about what they meant.

Ryuu: What do you mean? What is he doing?

Albert(Emb): If we're thinking the same thing, he's using his Argonaut skillnto try and boost his abilities and close the gap between his opponent.

Hestia: Does it work like that?

Albert(Emb): It's one way to use it, but seeing as it's his first time trying, I don't see a high chance of success, but it is Dad.

They were back to watching Bell dance until Argo's group jumped in.

Argo: Wait, what's this "Argonaut" skill?

Hestia: A skill is a special ability an adventurer can get as they grow. As for Argonaut, it's the skill Bell got when he rose to level 2, and it let's him charge power for an extra attack.

Crozzo: Well look at that, there's even a skill named after you!

Argo: Haha! And it's a powerful one at that!

Back in the arena, Bell was still charging, but as the seconds passed, the sounds of bells grew louder and stronger. After a certain point, Bell decided he was ready.

Bell: (Ok, that's 3 minutes, but I took a lot of damage already. Here goes nothing!)

No finished charging, the ringing now reached a sequential rhythm as Bell was surrounded in a bright white aura. Testing his new trick, Bell went for a slash from behind and was able to land a small cut as Belf was caught off guard.

Belf: !!

Hestia: Yes, he got a hit!

Meteria: Go get him, son!

Belf: (He's faster than me now!)

With his new speed, Bell was now on the offensive and dealt blow after blow to his opponent. He knocked him backwards and Bell was ready to deal the finishing blow.

Bell: ?!

However, just when he was about to end the match, he quickly backed off and stared at his opponent.

Belf: What's wrong?

Bell didn't say anything, he just raised his arm and shot a firebolt on the ground separating them.

BOOOOM*

Some in the audience had to cover their ears as explosions chained one into another. Bell covered himself as the shockwaves battered him. The smoke cleared and his opponent had a soft smile.

Belf: Well, crud. I really thought you'd run into those, but you're much better than I anticipated.

Bell: Thanks, you've given me a hard time too.

Back in the audience, some were confused as to what happened.

Alise: The hell happened?!

Finn: So I was right, he did lay a trap.

Hestia: What do you mean?

Finn: Remember how he threw those fire spells at the ground?

Mikoto: You mean the ones that didn't explode?

Lili: Lili gets it, they sunk into the ground and acted as explosive traps whenever someone set them off.

Finn: Exactly. Luckily, Bell sensed the danger early and got out of the way.

Gareth: Impressive that he was able to sense the danger.

Karmi: Hehe, his rabbit sense tingled.

Celdia: Wonder what happens now.

Down at the ring, Bell was getting ready to start the fight again, but Belf held his hand up.

Belf: Alright, I think I'm done here.

Everyone was stunned as the elf just gave up.

Bell: H-Huh?! What do you mean? Are you saying you give up?!

Belf: Yeah, sorry. I'd rather not push this too far or my poor cloak won't be able to take it.

Bell: Huh?!

Belf: Well, as a gift from my wife, I'd rather it not get ruined because I was caught in a fight.

Rolan: You know I could have just fixed it for you after.

Belf: Yeah, but better safe than sorry. Riveria would have my head if she knew the cloak that took her several days to make got ruined fighting myself.

The elf gave a sheepish smile while everyone in the audience went wild.

Loki: No way! Mama got taken by the rabbit!

Finn: Riveria, anything you want to add?

He gave her a teasing smile as the high elf was a blushing mess when she heard she and that Bell were married.

Riveria: I-I...

Ais: Even Riveria wants Bell...

The blonde girl grew depressed as her mother tried to comfort her. Meanwhile, many of the men were cheering for Bell.

Hermes: An elf, that's good taste.

Zeus: Haha! I'd expect nothing less from my boy!

The god's celebration was cut short as he felt death near him.

Hera: What was that, dear?

Her smile was wildly contradicted by the dark aura surrounding her. As she beat her husband again, the rest of the girls were trying to wrap their heads around how Riveria had taken Bell.

Meteria: My boy... he's gone and gotten himself married to someone older tha both of us combined.

Meteria cried on her sister's shoulder as Alfia was giving the elf a death glare.

Back in the arena, Bell himself was red in the face upon learning her was married to the elven princess.

Bell: M-Me and Miss Riveria?!

Belf: Well, I am an elf so it makes sense for me.

Rolan: I'm not sure why this bothers you, your preference is elven women isn't it?

Bell face reddened further and the audience was now in outrage at the god's words.

Hestia: That cheating rabbit!!

Loki: Ha! Looks like the brat's got an elf fetish!

Said elves in the room, save his children, all grew red in the face.

Lefiya: T-That human...

She was silently cursing the boy until she saw Ais give her a look of betrayal.

Lefiya: M-Miss Ais, I

Ais: Hmph!

Lefiya: Ah-

She quickly turned to stone when her idol turned away from her. Meanwhile, Ais was facing a dilemma of her own.

Ais: Mom, is there a way for me to turn into an elf?!

Aria: A-Ais?!

Albert: Of course there's no spell like that!

The girl's Hope's of finding a way to win the boy over were quickly dashed when her father said that. With a familia of justice, they were all currently teasing their little sister.

Alise: Well well, looks like you've got a fair shot at him now!

Ardi: I'm rooting for you, Lion!

Kaguya: Go get your rabbit.

Astraea: You two would make a great couple!

Ryuu's head was practically a tomato with hair at this point as everyone gave her their best wishes. Back in the arena, Rolan decided to send Belf back to his world before too many bombshells were dropped.

Rolan: So, how are you feeling now?

Bell: Better I think. I'm glad one of my plans worked at least, but I'm still a little doubtful.

Rolan: Hmm...

Back in the audience, everyone was waiting to see what happens next, though some were more impatient than others.

Argo: Man, let's get on with the next one!

Feena: Let's be patient here, brother.

Argo: How can I do that after seeing what the new me can do?! Makes me wanna go down there and fight him!

Crozzo: I'd be curious to see how that went.

Welf: It'd be an interesting match.

Zeus: Why not try it?

Meteria: Mr. Rolan!!

After calling the god, he listened to their idea and asked Bell his thoughts. The boy decided that he wanted to try out a match against his past self. Rolan brought Argo down to them and explained the modifications.

Rolan: To make this more fair, I'll be making you two equal in strengths.

Argo: Got it.

Rolan: Ready?

Bell drew his daggers while Argo had his thunder sword as well as a new magic sword. The two nodded and the next fight began. Argo threw a slash a Bell who blocked it with his Hestia Knife. Bell's black knife was near indestructible, but Argo's weapons were far more powerful. Bell was able to beat back his swords with his knives, but the backlash from the attacks were felt.

Bell: Ow...

Argo: Sweet, my spirit powers are still the same.

Rolan: I've made it that way so you can fight at your full potential.

Argo: Great!

They ran to each other and clashed weapons over and over. Being nearly the same person, their attributes of speed were now equal so they had to think of something else to tip the balance. Luckily for Bell, he had something his past self didn't.

Bell: Firebolt!

He launched multiple blasts at Argo who blocked them with his swords. What he didn't see coming was Bell through the smoke made by his spell.

Bell: HAAA!!!

Slash*

Bell got a direct hit on Argo's chest which forced him back.

Argo: Agh, that stings.

Their battle raged on and everyone in the audience cheered for their rabbit.

Welf: Come on, Bell!

Hera: You can do it!

Yuri: The clown's gotta end this fast.

Crozzo: Doesn't look like it'll end soon, not good.

Hermes: Problem with your friend?

Orna: It's a result from his spirit sword. His body gets destroyed if he uses it for too long.

Tione: Wait, then how long can he last?

Ariadne: I'd give him less than an hour.

Back in the arena, Bell was being backed into a corner, but Argo was beginning to feel the backlash of his powers.

Bell: (I have to give this everything I have!)

Deciding to end this, Bell began charging two Argonaut charges in both of his hands. The sounds of bells ringing filled the air.

Argo: That can't be good.

Bell: Heh, it won't be.

The audience was wondering what Bell was planning this time, but an elf and several kids knew what the boy was up to.

Ryuu: Is he really going to use that?

Ardi(Emb): Yeah, get him, Dad!

Alise: Hang on, you know what he's doing, Lion?

Ryuu: Just wait and see.

Meteria: Don't keep us in the dark.

Finn: I'm quite curious as well.

Albert: This should be good.

Aria: I'm getting goosebumps.

In the arena, Bell was able to maneuver around Argo's attacks which were soon taking a toll on his body.

Argo: (This is starting to hurt.)

Bell: (Almost there!)

A grand bell suddenly rung and Bell initiated the first phase of his plan.

Bell: FIREBOLT!!!

What he did confused everyone further as the spell was aimed at his weapon rather than his opponent.

Argo: What are you playing at?

Bell: Hehe...

Bete: Is the rabbit going crazy?! Why'd he attack his weapon?

Hephaestus: No...

Welf: Wait, what's that knife made of?

Hephaestus: It's part mithril, a metal that conducts magic.

Everyone soon understood what was happening.

Crozzo: So he's charging magic into his weapon?

Alfia: It would appear so.

Zald: Let's see what happens.

Making the most of his power, Argo threw attack after attack at Bell and the boy was already covered in cuts and burns. However, as the clock ticked away, his knife was covered in fire and grew longer as the bells kept ringing. Eventually, it transformed into a short sword and everyone stared in awe at it.

Hestia: Wow, that looks cool!

Haruhime: And powerful.

Welf: Go, Bell!!

Feena: Don't give up, brother!!

Argo: This next one decides it!

Bell: Get ready...

Argo wielded his spirit sword and Bell readied his now burning sword. The two charged with overhead slashes powered by their wills to win.

Argo: RADIANT SWORD!!!

Bell: ARGO-VESTA!!!

The clash of these attacks generated a shockwave that everyone in the audience could feel.

Loki: Holy crap!!

Alfia: What power...

Freya: Bell!

Hestia: Bell!!

Meteria: Where is he?!

The dust it kicked up blocked everyone's view as they tried to see who was still standing.

Crozzo: There!!

He pointed to where two figures could be seen. One was still standing while the other was on the ground. The dust cleared showing Bell on his feat, panting while Argo was on the ground and missing an arm.

Feena: Brother!!

Orna: Argo!!

He could hear his friends scream his name which prompted him to regain consciousness and try to get up.

Argo: Ugh... damn...

Next thing he realized was Bell walking over to him and offering a hand which he gratefully took.

Bell: I appreciate the match.

Argo: Heh, thanks. It's relief to know my new self has the same fighting spirit I do.

Rolan called the match and many cheered or sighed in relief that it was over. He then healed their injuries to the further relief of many before sending Argo back with his friends.

Crozzo: That was a good fight.

Argo: Sorry I worried you guys.

He tried to give a smile,but his sister wouldn't have it and smacked him on the head.

Feena: Idiot brother!

Argo: Sorry, Feena.

Feena: I'm just thankful you're alright.

With Bell's friends, they were all talking about the new attack they saw.

Hestia: That was amazing!

Lili: As expected of him.

Hera: He's grown so much.

Zeus: Yes, he'll make a fine hero.

Many gave the rabbit their praise while Rolan spoke with Bell.

Rolan: So, now what? Are you convinced?

Bell: Well, it was an eye opener for me. I think I can start to believe it.

Rolan: Let's all just get back and enjoy the rest of the day.

Bell: Right.

Rolan then teleported everyone back to the dining area where they enjoyed the rest of the day. After dinner, they all went on to exchange gifts and everyone enjoyed what they got, although, Bell was wondering why he suddenly found himself in a rabbit costume. Rolan said to just roll with it, but a certain blonde was staring at him with a glint in her eyes. Thankfully, Rolan was able to save Bell from a sudden lap pillow when he sent everyone out for the evening. As every went their separate ways to end the holiday, Rolan was figuring out what to do next.

Rolan: Let's see, what world to look at this time?

AN: Sorry this took a while to come out. Been hanging out with friends for the last few days. Anyway, that'll do it for Christmas. Probably not doing one for new years since my other stories are lagging behind and people are thinking I'm dropping them which I'm not(Not calling anyone out nor am I offended by the assumption so no worries). I'll be putting a vote up for the next reaction the will do. 500 is also creeping up for Reincarnation of Talent and I still need to do something for 100 followers, so I'm gonna be busy.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this. Thanks for reading and I'll see you in the next one.
