After 4 hours of sleep, Nicolas finally woke up.
"Ahhhh." Yawned Nicolas and looked at the sun to determine time.
"It's about 12 o'clock. Okay, let's warm up a little and go to the Royal Arena later.
And quickly after he said that he left the hotel and jogged around the hotel for about 10 minutes.
After that, he sat in a meditating position to see if everything is alright with his body.
This was routine that Nicolas developed in a world where he was from.
And after 10 minutes of jogging and 20 minutes of checking his body, he said.
"Okay, let's go to beat that idiot and take his money!"
And after that, he departed from the hotel in the direction of Royal Arena.
20 minutes later
Nicolas stood in front of the Royal Arena. It looked like Colosseum.
There were two entrances, for participants, and for spectators.
Nicolas went up to the guard that guarded the entrance and allowed participants to enter.
"I have a reservation!" Said Nicolas.
"Name?" Asked guard.
"Nicolas White."
"Time of the match?"
"1 o'clock!."
"Challenger or challenged?"
"Challenged."
"Who is the Challenger?"
"Grey Prinstone."
After Nicolas said that name guard pulled out a paper from his space ring and read what was written.
"Nicolas White versus Grey Prinstone, Arena 172, Type of match - Death Match."
After guard said that Nicolas finally understood everything, they didn't want to make an example by humiliating him, they wanted to do so by killing him.
Nicolas just sneered and went into Arena 172.
And just as he entered he saw Grey.
"Hahaha, I didn't think that you would actually come!" Sneered Grey.
"D-Did you b-bring 50 g-gold?" Said Nicolas as he turned into 'Shivering in the fear Mode'.
"Tch, here you go." Said Grey as he threw a bag full of coins at Nicolas.
'If I don't give him my gold, he will just threaten me by killing himself, it seems that he knows that he has some value to Lord Christopher.', 'Well it doesn't matter, I will just take the gold back when I kill him.'
"You have 20 minutes until the end of your life, you can start to cry if you want, I will not laugh at you, hahaha!" Sneered Grey as he said that.
'So there is 20 minutes until the match.' Thought Nicolas.
20 minutes later
"Nicolas White and Grey Prinstone can enter the stage!" Said the guard that guarded the restroom of the participants.
Nicolas and Grey both entered at the same time.
Nicolas looked at the spectator's seat and saw that there is unnaturally a lot of people for this small match.
'Hah, it seems that Christopher really went all out at this one, even going as far to pay the people to watch the match and probably to spread news after because there is no use of those spectators even if they see the match result if they don't spread it.'
'Well, they will spread the news about the death of someone and that someone is certainly not me!'
Nicolas and Grey arrived at opposite sides of each other. They glared fiercely at each other.
And then the guard of the battle ring started to count backward.
