Nathan was bewildered, wondering when did his friend have a hobby if killing people. In the mean while Shill had already reached them. Seeing Nathan still lost in wonderland, he flicked his forehead. Coming back to his senses, the first thing that went out of his mouth was, "Shill, since when did you like to kill other people?". Although his voice wasn't loud, everyone around heard it. Suddenly deafening silence enveloped the entire place. A certain someone closing his eyes in the corner, opened them with a dangerous light in them, he slowly licked his lips.
Another one just got into the site, was greeted by these words, they were enough to make him burn with fighting spirit and he wasn't the only one. Nathan may not know, but he had just dug his friend a big pit.
Shill extended him hand and flicked Nathan in the forehead again. "Are you still sleep talking?".
Indignant at the culprit, but knowing he was to blame, Nathan soon sold his "brother". "you see, this brother here just did me a favor. He said as a repayment I should ask you to spare his life". Finally understanding where it all came from Shill couldn't help a sigh. Then turning to look at the teenager and said " My friend had troubled you, I don't have a hobby of useless killing". Then he went to check the placement boards, telling Nathan to wait for him there.
Once Shill was gone, conversation erupted everywhere. The teenager pulled Nathan to gossip as well. "did you know that your friend was one of the most anticipated seeds?" said a young man. "yes, he was said to have a rare gift with the sword". "Most importantly he was picked out by the vice captain of Sir Nigill squad you know!! That's Sir Nigill", " Everyone that he picks are guaranteed a spot regardless of their placing, he picks out talent like I pick radish in the market", "If that was true, he'd have been fired Ages ago. I still hear your wife screaming that you dim9nt know how to pick anything", " WHAT!!", And they started fighting just like that.
"if you're speaking of promising seeds, that red head one by the corner is one too. I heard he was a spear user, his master sent h hear to curb his arrogance apparently, he is known as a staff genius and a wind magic natural ", "Don't forget the one by the table, the black haired one, he's the youngest son of the intelligence chief. He's participated last time but lost due to injury. He's extremely good with daggers and stealth magic.". "Do you see that blonde over there, he was picked by Sir Nigill himself. He might be the dark horse this time", "They are all in A block. It seems this year the arena will be on fire".
