But he wasn't that crazy to go out of his way and start a fight with them. "Sigh, as the rules bind others, they also bind me," he regretfully shook his head before the first fight started.
Five against five, that was the beginning battle in the arena today. Jim looked in no care towards the challenge and only cared about its beginning and its end.
At the beginning the challenger set the rules. According to what Jim noticed, the challenged team looked like ordinary folks with not much prestige or vibe around them.
And the challenger asked for a price of five academy coins as bet. As far as Jim understood, the other team had to either accept or raise the bet.
And for sure the other team only bitterly accepted before a brutal fight erupted. One team was just nobody, and the other had one year experience and was supported by spells.
"That… sigh," Deno sighed when the fresh team lost, "this is by the rules but it sounds unfair."
