The next day,
Loid left the inn where Diana had left him last night; She didn’t say they would go tomorrow together, so he didn’t wait for them.
The morning was lively here; everyone was talking about today’s arena challenge, asking whether you challenge someone or not; it was mostly teasing, and Loid just heard everyone denying.
Loid let his gaze roam everywhere; in every direction were tall pagodas, like really tall, red, gold, brawn... it was really like an ancient Korean and Chinese drama. Though he had never watched those things, he had just seen them.
He followed others who were going to the Arena. While wishing no one would challenge him.
It would be such a disappointment to lose after winning without doing much, but even if he really got kicked out of here.
Then he planned to earn some money, buy a weapon, collect information, and start hunting, while also learning the Beastheart method or if any other power worked here, maybe about politics too, and most importantly about the empress... while getting stronger, how much he doesn’t know there will never be an upper limit, right? Just limitations.
Even if today he lost, it didn’t matter. It’s not like joining a sect was his goal.
"Hey. I found you.. "
Hearing the familiar voice, Loid stopped and turned around. Saw a pink-haired girl with a katana running toward him.
"You should have waited for me’’ Diana said.
"You don’t say... anyway, where’s that guy, Rakkas?" He asked.
"How would I know?" Diana shrugged.
"Wasn’t he your guard?"
"No, he wasn’t, not anymore", Diana said with a smile.
Does kick him out from job?...
"Well, let’s go; we would be late..." She grabbed his wrist and pulled him along.
"Wait, let go of me", He said.
"Huh? Oh, sorry," She freed his wrist.
"No, it’s alright; it’s just me. I don’t like anyone touching me," Loid said as he began to walk again. Fuck, can I just say not to touch me since I’m in a relationship... no, that would be weird as hell.
"Hey, what’s your name? I forgot to ask you yesterday." Diana asked, walking at his side.
"A.. Me, Loid and you" He looked at her and didn’t see any awkwardness; one, she wasn’t feeling it, or she was just good at hiding it. Either way, he was glad.
"Diana... just call me Diana." She walked ahead of him and turned and started walking backward. " Can we be friends?" She asked with a cheerful smile.
"Hm... just friends would be fine." He said.
"Really, I’m glad; I never had a friend before"
"Me neithe... I made some recently, and they’re more than friends.." He whispered.
"Huh, what?"
"Nothing "

Soon, they reached the arena.
A crowded place, filled with an audience.
Those who passed stood in the center. Not in the rings, just outside.
The gazes of envy and jealousy hit them from every direction, from those would watching from the audience, those who failed and couldn’t even challenge anyone, for various reasons, but mostly because of fear and they didn’t have money to participate.
That same familiar old muscular figure with weight hair--- Elder Wuhan Jedicato appeared in the sky.
Does he only have this entry? Loid thought.
" Come into the arena if anyone wants to challenge for positions." Elder Wuhan Jedicato announced.
The whole stadium turned silent, everyone just looking at each other. Would anyone step into the arena?
Only one guy stepped forward.
"Just one such a disappointment.’’ Elder shook his head. "Alright, you pay the fees first."
"Here, " the guy raised the too-big pouch.
Oldy immediately took it away, by just making disappeared from his hands.
dude you asked for 2000 gold coins. sound sucking lot to me...
How much lot can’t say anything; he has no idea how currency works here
"Alright. Who do you want to be your opponent?’’ Wuhun asked.
’’I want to have him fight with me’’.. he pointed his finger.
Why is he pointing toward me? Loid moved his finger; his finger moved with him. Fuck! He’s really pointing at me.
"I heard he only passed because he was tagged along with Lady Diana Thika.’’ The guy said.
"Oh boy. If you want to fight, then do. But I wasn’t blind; I know how they performed," The Elder Wuhun snorted.
Loid raised his brows
So Diana was right; this oldy was watching
But what the hell, why me? I got popular... Ah, I’m done for; he didn’t even need to guess; he knew who was behind this. Not the guy standing in front of him. OK 50/50...
**
Soon stood in the arena.
Diana tried to stop him, but he said he would be fine; he was’nt over confident had a reason to decide to fight instead of giving up.
This guy had to be weak if this didn’t get selected... Oh, Elder, I’m trusting your words, and with your experience, you passed me but not him.
The crowd cheered; he could hear people discussing whom to place a bet on. Who would win or who would lose.
Ignoring everything, Loid focused on the green-headed guy in front of him.
This green-headed guy chose a spear, so Loid also chose a spear and believe it or not, he had an advantage with his shadow boxing ability; just hope the opponent won’t be too fast, then it would be useless.
This guy looked focused, and the silent type didn’t throw villain dialogue even a single time.
Shit!!!
Loid saw a shadow spear shoot at him like an arrow; Loid ducked and barely saved his head from the real spear.
The green-headed guy clicked his tongue for missing his shot.
Oh dude, we are killing each other?!
The guy figured blurred, but before that, Loid saw another shadow.
Loid didn’t even think about dodging; he shifted his spear’s sharp point, pushing toward the upcoming shadow punch.
"AHHhhhhhhhhhHHHHhH!’’
The spear pierced his fist, going to his arm to his elbow. Loid shifted the spear again, pulling it strongly, severing his arm completely.
His arm fell on the ground.
