Soph slowly peeled her eyes open as a yawn escaped her lips. "Mmm? Lone?" A bit confused to not find him laying next to her she looked around the room only to find him sitting at the end of the bed hunched over with his chin resting on his clasped hands. "Lone?" she asked as she crawled over the bedsheets to lean against his side. "Morning," he responded a bit absentmindedly. "Are you okay?" Soph asked in concern. "As okay as I can be considering the tournament starts today," Lone answered. "I'm just…-

"Hah!" Lone yelled as he slammed his wooden swordspear against the practice dummy. Sweat flew from his exposed arms and his face as he jumped back and then closed in again to strike once again. This time Lone spun on his heel to deliver a surprise attack to the dummy's flank. Both the dummy and the wooden swordspear were heavily dented during the impact and splinters flew everywhere. The dummy, however, bounced right back as if it were some sort of roly-poly doll. 2 full weeks of almost nonstop…

"Sorry. Peter it is," Lone said. "Uh, what are the two requirements?" Peter raised one of his digits as he smiled from ear-to-ear and he then said, "First, you must name her." Lone exhaled in relief mentally. That's a more than ordinary request. "She doesn't have a name yet?" he asked as he looked at the pudgy animal curled up in his arms. Peter shook his head. "Not one of the world, no. No one has granted her one. Do you have any names in mind?" Lone furrowed his brow. "I honestly don't know. My…

Gilbert sighed. "It's one twist after the other. Well, I was ordered to ensure the safety of the final lot, but seeing as how it's just a fox... What're you going to do, Son?" "... I'll buy it. I don't trust for a second that everything is as it seems. If Milindo has taught me anything it's to be sceptical of fuckin' everything. Worst-case scenario I get Soph a nice new cuddly pet," Lone answered. Gilbert nodded. "Very well. I do wonder if those rumours about a Golden Foxkin were false or not... Perhaps…

"24 white-gold coins!" Lone bid, knocking out yet another of his competitors. With that in mind, Lone continued to enjoy the thrill of a bidding war. Slowly, time kept ticking on by and only Lone and one other person were in contention for the mana orb. The current bid was Lone's at 42 white-gold coins. His opponent did some calculations in his head and then frowned and shook his head, choosing not to bid any further. The orb wasn't worth any more of his wealth than the 40 white-gold coins he had…

"Hello, everyone!" the portly human man on-stage said as he beamed a smile and slowly scanned the enormous packed auction hall and the handful of occupied private booths with his eyes. "My name is Peter, though some of you may know me as the Undying Teller. Tonight, I am simply Peter or the host. With our introductions out of the way, why don't we jump right into tonight's first lot? If I get too excited I might end up extending the already planned-to-be lengthy auction by a few more hours, and let's be…

Gilbert's expression immediately hardened before he slowly closed his eyes and wore a warm smile. He nodded softly twice then said, "I can tell lies from the truth but it's such a shame that these old eyes of mine have stopped working properly... For a moment there, I thought I saw about a dozen or so ruby-gold coins on your palm, hahaha." "... That's exactly what you saw," Lone said as he used his fingers to rather skillfully jingle the coins against each other without letting any of them fall out of…

"Soph isn't interested in the auction?" Lone asked Sophie who was getting into her armour. Why she was wearing armour and not a fancy dress instead was easily explained. In her own words, she did not wish to be left unprepared for a battle should such a thing happen during tonight's event. "She is asleep in here," Sophie answered as she pointed to her head. "You know as well as I do that she was training our Teleportation skill from the moment we returned to our room until we took over for her and had a…

Shaking her head, Sophie's swordsmanship and martial arts instructor said, "You are improving a lot, that is clear to see, but only with the Baat Jaam Dou form. You will never truly master the art if you cannot also wholly understand the hand-to-hand portion of the technique. You have yet to even master only the first form of this aspect, Siu Nim Tau." Sophie frowned as her face glistened under the sunlight from the sweat slowly dripping down forehead and cheeks. "Wing Chun may not be a perfect fit for…

One of Duke Malik's two retainers stood up and slammed his fist against the table, denting it severely. "How dare you speak to His Dukeship like that! You're nothing but an insignificant foreign noble! If you refuse to speak of your peerage and of where you came from then you have no right to berate His Dukeship as you have!" Gilbert raised the tips of his mouth in amusement. Suddenly, Duke Malik released his SS-ranker aura in its entirety and forced it onto the retainer that had spoken up for him in…
