Chapter 170: Finding a Fight (3)
Pursing my lips, I stared out the window as I watched the Orc and Catkin parade around the sandy floor, wide grins and enthusiastic movents riling up the crowd.
A mixture of applause and jeering fell down onto the two fighters, which only fueled their grins further.
"Barbaric."
Glancing at Dama, I smirked at her as she frowned back at , before I added "But fun. Seems like it'll be a rather fun ti."
Watching as her frown flipped into a smile, I turned back to the window and observed the four fighters vacating the field, before two more stepped out, staring at one another neutrally.
Leaning against the wall, I continued to watch the next few fights, idly chatting with Dama as we discussed what the fighters did or didn't do.
Taking note of what my more experienced Dama said, I continued to add onto the repertoire she had beaten into
and put it to use, finding more and more weaknesses or openings in the won fighting before us.
We had to wait for quite a while, but eventually we heard our numbers called - together - which made us raise a brow as we approached the organizer.

"Our first match, and its together~! How about that~!"
Ignoring her, I continued forwards and pushed open the door, hearing a quiet huff behind
as I climbed the stairs.
Walking down another shot tunnel, we reached a spiked gate, which opened as soon as we approached.
The roar of the crowd returned as we stepped out, and I briefly covered my eyes as the suns harsh rays slamd against us.
Wincing, I walked a few steps forwards before stopping, taking in our opponents.
A Rabbitkin and a Wolfkin stood opposite us, both riddled with scars and wearing battered leather armor.
