"Did I clear the first trial?" Although Argentum asked Helios that question in his usual polite manner, to Helios, it seemed like Argentum was mocking him, telling him that the trial he had given to him was incredibly easy to clear. To him, it was as if his words were grating on his ears.
Naturally, with that kind of thought process, Helios could not help but slightly frown, though he hastily hid it as he knew that Argentum wasn't mocking him at all. How could his fan mock someone like him, the great Tempest King? And so, suppressing all urges to come down to the arena and show Argentum who's boss, Helios silently took in a deep breath as he slowly nodded, responding with indifference, "Indeed. You have cleared the first trial."
