--- The brown haired man felt like the world was falling apart. His eyes constricted fiercely as he stared at the kid in front of him. He felt like his entire body was dropped in an icy pond. He couldn't believe that he such a careless mistake, right now of all times. He didn't even needed to turn around to able to tell that many people were whispering behind his back. He could literally feel their piercing gazes and could somehow measure just how much he was being judged right now. This kid is a devil.…-

--- The crowd still find it hard to believe what just happened. The announcer already made the announcement and all but still, that was just too surprising. A kid took down none fully grown adults, not only he wasn't injured in the process, his opponents couldn't even fight back. It was so one sided that it almost seemed impossible. Nevertheless, Raven had no interest at their reactions nor what they think. He was somewhat disappointed with the battle sure but it had to be known that he wasn't on a low…

--- The announcer made the call so the participants of the last batch for the second round all stood up and went towards the stage. Raven also stood up and slowly walked towards the stage, still carrying that stoic face as he does. While they were busy arranging themselves, the other contestants among this batch were already secretly observing their competitors. In their minds, they were already deciding whom they should target first when the round starts. When they saw Raven going up with them, they…

--- "Make me." When Raven said this, the remaining patience that the old man had was instantly gone. He quickly rushed forward towards him, not even bothering to hide his animosity towards Raven. In his mind, he won't be satisfied if he didn't break a few bones on Raven's body. The old man raised his wooden sword and swept it towards Raven's shoulder joint, he was planning on dislocating his arm right away since he saw that Raven doesn't even have any weapons. Many saw this and inwardly sneered, what a…

--- Raven woke up early and decided to wake up Elyion as well. His worries from last night was already thrown in the back of his head. This isn't to be mistaken that he became careless because that's the exact opposite. In fact, it makes a lot of sense for him to remain calm and act like he didn't realize anything at all. That would prevent him from being noticed by the culprits of this whole mess. If he could stay as low profile as he could, then he could find even more clues and probably think about a…

--- "Third rule. Weapons are allowed but we will be ones providing you with that, we will be giving you blunt and wooden weapons that you may use throughout the competition." "Fourth Rule. Once somebody admitted defeat, the opponent isn't allowed to attack the defeated enemy anymore. If we saw that any of you did, that would considered as a foul move and your qualifications might be revoked." "Fifth and final rule. Don't try to cheat. No matter what you do, we'll eventually find out anyway and when we…

--- Raven and Elyion woke up the next day and went out to see more of Thorn City. They went somewhere to eat first while Elyion endlessly gushed about the flourishing civilization of humans in this city. Elyion seemed to have not noticed that Raven was barely paying attention whatever he has to say and closely inspecting each and every human he encountered secretly using tremorsense. Because he had just learned about this technique, wearing shoes somewhat weakened it's effect, Tremorsense worked best…

--- Hearing Elyion's giddy and excited tone, Raven sighed in pity. 'He's hopeless, he's way to0 fixated on being a human. These thoughts would sooner or later become poisonous to him. This place is weird too. I don't know why but I'm hating this place more and more. What's wrong in here?' "Forget it." Raven groaned irritatingly, he scratched his head and faced Elyion. "Where do we exchange for Jadestones?" "Follow me." Elyion said and walked ahead. Raven followed him and noticed that they were walking…

--- Elyion had been having a rather stressful moment in his life. He was pretty sure that the forest they were in had been quaking fiercely for an entire hour before stopping. Forget about maintaining vigilance, Elyion had to make sure that he stayed as far away as he possibly could from the falling trees thanks to Raven's heist. Elyion had been running around and collecting the fallen trees during this time as well. Though his task might be simple enough, he was feeling a bit tired from all of…

--- "So Elyion, What can you tell me about this place?" Elyion sighed before speaking. "This is the Thorn City." His voice contained melancholy and longing as he spoke. "Humans use to always say that this is the only civilization that one could see in this vast expanse. What lies outside is nothing but an omnipresent fog that swallows everything that it touches. They say Thorn City spanned for at least a couple thousands of kilometers, surrounding it was a great wilderness which they use to go to hunt…
