"I see.," Ignacio says with a nod. "Entirely understandable and what I'd expect. Although it is rather amusing you went from saying you were going to open up a shop for the other champions to jumping into being a champion yourself. Would you say you feel obligated to be what those around you want you to be?"

Cael thinks a moment "Yeah...I guess I do. Not everybody, just the people I care for. I don't think it's bad...they want me to be strong so I try." he drinks some of his tea and looks at his reflection in the liquid "Wait...I'm confused...if I pass this thing I...don't have to be a champion? Because I still want to have my shop, and leave me fighting to if we really need it...Oh sorry...I'm not asking questions you are..."

"I don't know Cael, do you want to be a champion? Do you even want to be here, at the League?," Ignacio asks him. His tone was not malicious; it was merely curious with a tint of warmth and subtle urging.

"Well...yeah...I do want to be here. I just...don't know if I'm ready to fight yet...I don't think I'm cut out for it....All these champions...they're soldiers right? They trained to come here. I haven't really trained for anything..." Cael sighs saddly "I can use magic but that's it...and my magic is meant for combat too but I've never even fought someone in practice." he sips some tea, a bit relieved that Ignacio was easy to talk to. "It's not that I don't want to fight. I'm just...scared to."

"Actually, not every champion here is a soldier.," Ignacio points out. "And many are probably only about 5 to 6 years older than you. About half don't even fight outside the League."

"They aren't?" Cael asks "I thought they were all fighters of some sort...shows how much I know..." he sighs "Could I do both? You know...sell things and be a bench warmer for the others." he asks

"It's a possibility. Mostly it depends on what you have to sell and if they'd want it.," Ignacio says truthfully.

Cael smiles a little and laughs "Well...yeah of course there's that. That's a bit of a given." he looks at Ignacio "Then that's what I'll do. If I pass that is."

Ignacio nods and quickly writes down some notes. "What I need now is a general idea of your combat capabilities. Regardless of how much fighting you ever actually do, the League needs to know what it's champions are capable of. So, would you be willing to give me a demonstration?"

Cael gulps and nods "I...I...ok." he says, clearly nervous.

"Alrighty then!," Ignacio exclaims cheerfully, clapping his hands together. The two of them then once again teleport in a swirl of flames and end up in the Arena.
The Arena is in it's base stat, merely appearing as circle of dirt surrounded by stone walls and observation seats, much like a classic colosseum. About 10 feet away from the two of them is a scarecrow test dummy, complete with a straw hat and overalls.
"First off, I would like you to simply attack that scarecrow over there.," Ignacio states cheerfully.

"Just...attack it? With whatever?" Cael says "Alright..." he looks at the scarecrow and raises his hand. He draws out a symbol in the air with his fingers. It flashes red as he finishes and a ball of fire shoots a the dummy.

The scarecrow bursts into flames and disintegrates into ash in a far more dramatic and sped up process than what normally happen.
"Ah, fireball. Classic.," Ignacio nods approvingly. He takes a few more notes and says, "Now take out both of those targets at the same time."
Where the scarecrow was, the ash splits apart and forms two more identical scarecrows that are about 7 feet apart from each other.

Cael nods and draws another, different rune. From this one, two blades of wind fly out and each hits a target. He smiles, feeling a bit mor confident. This was a bit like what he did at home to practice his magic.

"Air, interesting. You use more than one element, good, good," Ignacio says to himself as he takes notes. "Alright, now defend yourself.," he says to Cael.
The two scarecrows, which had been cut in half by the wind, reform and throw wooden poles at Cael like javelins.
