The next day, Magi and the others were allowed to rest outside the Colosseum. Their matches were done as they neared the semi-finals of the second stage.Evan was defeated by a member of a Viper's Venom, which he was able to forfeit before he was injured worse. The only ones left in the competition were Kurumi, Magi, and Kira, to which almost all of the weak contestants were picked out, leaving only those with powerful and skillful combat prowess.“Hahaha, who could have thought that I'd be up against her.” Evan rubbed the back of his neck, laughing as he thought he had embarrassed himself by losing to a girl. “You absolutely stood no chance against her——” Kira immediately lays down the fact, casually saying it in front of the others. “Asa Narasu is a shapeshifter. But before that, she's a really flexible fighter. Fighting her is like fighting a snake. At least it's what I've been able to observe from her.” Sabrine began to share the details of her observation for the past week. T

At the auction house, there were more than a few of the organizations that had attended. Including Viper's Venom, there were more non-criminal organizations that had joined the fray.The representative of the Merchant Guild was present, seated in the elevated room, surrounded by a group of seemingly experienced escorts.This auction was hosted by one of the traveling merchants under the Merchant Guild. It was held after the MMA Tournament had begun to near its semi-finals, making it more plausible for the contenders to buy something from their items. It was what Dokuji had concluded, observing the wide array of people seated as he was one of the people seated in the elevated room, a room filled with VIPs, albeit he was not one of them, he was granted special access by the mayor who was seated beside the Merchant Guild's representative, Rex Goldenburg.“It seems like this city looks quite better than before.” The blonde man spoke, his voice soft but arrogant, looking through the openi

As the auction went on, the Red Trackers ended up buying two items, with both Cian and Kira selecting one item that piqued their interest. Ruriko made no new purchases after she had bought the Glazier while Michael and Dokuji remained silent the whole duration of the auction. Most of the items were bought by other people without organizations, which made the auction go smoothly. The auction ended on a good note and early afternoon. Rex Goldenburg had to leave just as early to continue his expedition to hunt for an artifact. The Mayor, Michael had sent off Rex with his best regards with gifts that he deemed useful for Rex such as a phone which he had never had before. Ruriko had known that Rex was from the Light Magistrate, and his kind had yet to accept the rapid innovation of technology, trying to remain in their ancient ways of merchants and adventurers.It was known to everyone how important Rex was as a representative of the Merchant Guild as they were the richest organizatio

*** “Ugh... A-Achoo!”Immediately sitting up, Cian sneezed as he rubbed his eyes open. He remembered losing consciousness at the bath as his eyes widened, frantically looking at his body.“H-Huh? I have clothes...” Cian was already wearing the clothes he had, seemingly cleaned and rather bathed in a sweet fragrance. He scanned the room that he was in and saw a desk beside the bed. There was a note placed, and just as he was about to take it, he would notice someone move from the other side of the bed.It was Mia, it seems like she had fallen asleep in a chair. Although Cian didn't know the reason why she was there, he would stand up and put a blanket to cover her up, letting her comfortably sleep.“Geez. What the hell just happened though?”Just as he took the note and opened it, he was able to notice that it was dark from outside the window. It was already night. He remembered going here after lunch.“I must have passed out for hours...”He was calm for some reason, looking at Mia

At the colosseum, the tension in the air had caused the people to silence themselves as they waited for the countdown of the start of the fight. It seemed like the fight would be decided on who would make the first move, and just as the audience broke into a cold sweat, the host brings his raised hand down.“FIGHT!”The barriers were lifted and the restrictions were gone just as both of them were. Kira began to run toward her right and Asa also did the same thing, causing them to become trapped at a stalemate as they both rotated at the same time. However, Kira stopped at the spot where Asa was before, claiming the space she had teleported in.At first, the audience and the host were unsure of the reasons for their action, yet soon they would notice it.“Huh?! It's been 5 seconds in and no one has activated their ability nor used their Grants!”The host himself announced as time went on, surprisingly in which both are aggressive fighters, becoming passive towards each other.“They'
