Wain's fight was filled with shocking events, but everyone rembered what it was all about as the audience waited to see what Rating Wain and Axel would get.
The first to stop the fla was Axel's slab. His Rating was originally below 10,000, so after the defeat, the audience was expecting to see an even bigger drop.
"Hey... Is the World of Darkness okay?" Soone muttered while in disbelief.
"I agree... It must be so kind of mistake." His buddy nodded.
"Huh, you're just too stupid to realize that the defeat of so fighters is far more significant than the victory of others." The man with thick dark hair said as he smiled.
"Well, that was to be expected." Vincenz nodded before exclaiming, "Axel Demaret, an Elf, got a new Rating - 798!"
'Damn... He's gone up pretty high, I hope my score will be just as impressive.' Wain inwardly muttered while looking at his stove with hopeful looks.
The flas gradually stopped as Wain's Rating finally beca revealed.
'Naless, our new fighter and still undefeated with seven straight wins. Congratulations on your achievent." Vincenz said in a calm voice, "You have entered the Top 300. Your new Rating is 277."
"Ahahahahaha, that's incredible!" The man with the bushy hair exclaid as he stood up and started clapping his hands.
The others silently followed his example as the entire arena filled with applause that gradually grew louder.
"227..." Wain muttered, "Damn, getting to the Top-10 won't be easy at all. Marlis gave a pretty tough assignnt."
"Well, as much as I and all of us would love to see more of your fights, Naless, I think you need to rest after what happened. It's your first ti here, so go through the north gate, I'm sure you'll be surprised." Vincenz said while pointing to the massive gate in the distance, "I hope you co back here soon!"
Wain nodded as he headed toward the gate. He didn't know what Vincenz was talking about, but he certainly needed to rest and think about what had happened.
Crackle.
Wain opened the gate, stepped inside, and left the arena.
"Okay, who wants to fight next?" Vincenz asked with a sly smile.
...
"Where am I...?" Wain muttered while looking at the whole city ahead.
The city was among the golden clouds and was big enough for thousands of people to live there. There were many unusual buildings with unique architecture, but Wain decided to head for the main square.
The city was quite crowded, as though it was almost no different from any other developed city.
"Here we go..." Wain muttered since he ca to the main square.
There was a massive monolithic black stone slab on which fifty nas were inscribed. All of them were in the Top 50.
'Hmm...I'll need to get into the Top-10, so most of them will have to go down at least one position, hell that's bound to draw a lot of attention.' Wain inwardly muttered with a thoughtful look while rubbing his chin.
"Hey, look! It's Naless!" The short guy exclaid as he pointed at Wain.
"What? Wait... That's really him!"
"Damn it! I heard your last fight was sothing special! I'm so sorry I didn't get to see it in person!" The man muttered in a frustrated manner while shaking his head.
'What's going on...? Why do they know ?' Wain inwardly muttered while in confusion.
'Wain, take a closer look at the table.' Gladius said as though Wain hadn't noticed sothing important.
"Huh?" Wain tilted his head before approaching the table from the other side.
"Fuck..." Wain muttered with a dazed look.
On the other side of the slab was another table, there were the nas of people who had recently made the biggest jump in Rating, so given Wain's achievents in the first place was written - Naless.
"Did you know that a few hours ago, Naless didn't even have a Rating? However, he's now in 227th place! Damn, that's so cool!" One of the passersby exclaid with a happy look.
"Naless, can I ask you so questions?" A guy ca up to Wain.
"Hey! I want to talk to him first!" The girl uttered as she pushed the guy aside.
'Vincenz... Bastard... Could have warned that this hell was waiting for ... Although, he probably knew it would happen this way.' Wain muttered inwardly while clenching his fist with force as his veins swelled.
Wain was looking for a way to get rid of the gradually increasing crowd, and he quickly found a solution.
Whooooooosh.
Wain walked briskly toward the bar on the corner of the street as he was sure no one would disturb him there.
"Welco to..." The girl that was standing at the entrance leaned over as she wanted to greet Wain, but he, as though a whirlwind, rushed past her and stepped inside.
Wain chose an unremarkable table in the corner and sat against the wall.
"What would you like to order?" The waiter asked that imdiately approached Wain.
"Sothing to eat, like... at, the fattest thing you have, and the strongest drink." Wain pronounced as he waved his hand.
"Sure." The waiter nodded with a pleasant smile on his face, "Everything will be ready in ten minutes."
"Phew... Finally, so peace and quiet. It's been just of a ss..." Wain muttered while rembering everything that happened in the last fight, "I didn't know Dragons had disciples, maybe that's no surprise, but more importantly... Who saved ?"
'It must be soone abnormally strong. That Dragon wasn't kidding, he wouldn't have left even a molecule of you.' Gladius muttered, 'Any ideas?'
"Yeah..." Wain muttered while rubbing his chin, "But which one?"
Wain knew only four people who could theoretically stop such a powerful attack, but he couldn't prove any of the options.
'Sven is probably with Marlis now, unlikely she would leave him alone anyti soon... Aurora wouldn't help stealthily, and that left only Osvald... Magic circle? Huh, that's definitely not his style. Well, who is my secret savior?'
