After Avion finished his treatnt, he t Jer again.
'So this is how it felt to be healed. Elentals are really wonderous and mysterious.'
This ti, he was invited to lunch.
Of course, he was still chained and was still inside the colosseum, more specifically, on the VIP area. At this ti of the day, the mortal arena to the Rank Eeh arena has breaks.
If it's too hot, coupled with a clear sky, even Rank Dih would have a break until the temperature lowers.
"Food that is finally not doubtful." Avion comnted as he feasted on the al given to him.
"You're not scared that it might be poisoned?" Jer asked with a smile.
"Nah, it's fine." Avion shrugged it.
"Hmm... you should be careful next ti. Good thing I have no intention to poison you or you may be gasping for air by now."
Avion paused before nodded, "Thank you for the warning." while he was still swallowing the al left and right.
Of course, he wouldn't be scared of poison. It would bum him out that he couldn't eat the al but he could just Revert himself. However, if there is a poison potent enough to instantly kill a mortal upon touching his lips, that would be horrifying.
"Is there are a poison that can kill instantly?" due to the fear, Avion actually asked.
"Hm? Of course, there is. However, those are high-ranking compound essence that would be used to stronger targets instead of a mortal." Jer explained.
"But... is there any poison that will kill you without you knowing?" Avion mused.
"Hmm... what do you an?"
"A poison that has no signs or symptoms even when you die?"
"What? Hahaha!" Jer laughed until he responded, "That's ridiculous. Although I don't know every poison there is in Flasse, there shouldn't be. As long as it is harmful to your body, you would feel pain or so symptoms."
Hearing this, Avion sighed in relief before continue eating.
Jer just sat there while staring Avion gobble up the food like so kind of a monster.
Only after Avion finished did he speak, "Actually, the reason why I called you again is that I have another offer to you."
After gulping the water given to him, Avion asked, "What is it?"
"It's just like last ti. Would you like to go to the upper stadium?" Jer smiled, while inwardly, 'Actually, you have no choice. You're a prisoner, after all. I only said that it was an offer to make you feel you have the control.'
'When people think they are in control, they would likely risk it and take the offer. It is tons better than caging you against your will and bring you to the upper stadium.'
"..." Avion's expression soured when he heard this, "What do I gain up there?"
Jer smiled, "There are better rewards there. Also, you will be fighting an Elentalist... imagine, a mortal fighting against an Elentalist. If you lose, it is understandable. If you win, you will gain great benefit and fa! It's a win-win."
However, Avion didn't imdiately bite the offer. He was skeptical about the higher levels. The mortals here seed promising.
They have limits that makes Avion confident even without using his ti abilities. At the sa ti, they were strong. Although he have only battled one opponent this ti, the Demolisher was just rank 27th, right?
This is a great opportunity to hone his battle skills.
'Eh...but I wouldn't always be using my martial skills to battle real fights though.' Avion felt a little awkward since he knew that the next real fight he would encounter involves Rank Es.
'I guess this is just for fun...' he thought which greatly lessened the choice of refusing the offer, 'Is there any more good things at the higher levels?' at that thought, he rembered sothing.
"Oh yeah, can I see soone nad Tamya at the Rank Eeh's stadium?" he asked.
"Tamya...?" Jer was very familiar of this na, "You an the Playful Demoness?"
"Playful Demoness?" Avion tilted his head.
"Oh... sorry... of course you don't know about that." Jer then found sothing strange, "Tamya, do you an the brown-haired Rank Eeh girl?"
"Yes"
'Why does he know Tamya?' Jer then asked, "Do you know ttany and Edora too?"
"Of course!" hearing ttany's na made Avion smile but hearing Edora's na made him roll his eyes which created a unique expression.
'What does that an?' Jer noticed that he was always raising his eyebrow ever since yesterday he t Avion.
Yesterday, he fought that Avion is just like everyone else who thought they were strong. His initial impression was that Avion is an arrogant noble.
That would explain why he's handso and why the higher-ups had their eyes on him. But the chain thing ssed that thought up.
Now, he realized that Avion is more mysterious than he seed.
'If he knows them, does that an he is together with the Penta Elentalist?' Jer suddenly clutched both of his fists, 'That would explain why a mortal like him have such strength! However, why did no one tell ?! Good thing that I'm tolerant in the beginning and didn't offend him in the beginning. What sloppy colleagues do I have!'
After that thought, his expression beca milder and beca more polite. At the sa ti, Avion asked.
"Can I reach the Rank Dih's stadium and et a tt- et them?"
"Of course, as long as you prove yourself." Jer responded while inwardly thinking, 'So that's why they were giving him offers like this. They knew that he can go up and above as a mortal. But let's calm down... even if he is part of the Penta Elentalist's group, he may be just guinea pig that t success. Still mortal... there's no way that he could go against elesps, right?'
"Sure, I'll try to reach the highest stadium with them!" Avion finally agreed.
anwhile, on the healer's room, the Demolisher woke up.
"I was never defeated before, much less fair and square! I need a rematch!"
But after a few inquiries, he learned that Avion was raised to the upper stadium. With a persistent attitude, he demanded to challenge the Ascension Battle where he will fight all the Top 10 starting from the weakest to the strongest by himself!
If he could do it, that would an that he is overqualified for the mortal arena which gives him the qualification to enter the Rank Eeh's stadium as an irregular fighter.
Prisoners with fa, much like gladiators, were given much freedom for entertainnt purposes as long as they are still within a bigger cage, the Colosseum.
