When we arrived at the vast waiting rooms, there was a projection showing what was happening inside the arena, there were various people cheering for the fights to begin. I suppose that this way we can easily see the fights from here, but I still prefer just using two bodies at the same time anyways. By looking at the trainers around, I realized that the majority, if not all of them are using these Monster Jewels. They serve the purpose of storing a monster pet inside and can be fused into any body part of a person.
Some use it on their arms, others in their stomach, chest, face, forehead, anything, some missing an eye put some in their empty eye socket… But when I tried using some in my monster pets, it didn't worked, they broke them all, so I just decided to put them inside my divine realm and summon them outside. I don't think anyone will notice.
Arthurious and Miriam got some, but Gwendolyn and Axitl don't for the same reasons that I do, so I guess it will be left for the kids to show off their jewels. Miriam had one in her left hand and Arthurious in his right hand. Miriam had a blue-colored one while Arthurious had a black-colored one, quite fitting for their own monsters, I suppose.
I glanced around the trainers while waiting for the combatants to he sorted out in the arena, and noticed a familiar face, a common customer, a mysterious slender girl with a long black ponytail, Luca. She was perhaps my best customer, she had bought the most from all of them, and she also has a lot of high level monster pets, although seeing her being forced to only use three might be a bit sad for her, but she seemed cheerful, especially when she noticed who we were. She knew all my family at this point, Arthurious and Miriam as well as even the noble boy would help at selling things when we were very overcrowded with people.
"Frank! Is that you, Frank?" Asked Luca, walking towards me.
"Yeah, hey Luca, I was expecting you to participate today." I said.
"I-I don't know if we'll even have a chance with you here…" Sighed Luca. "But I am not going to give up even against your insane monsters."
"Hahaha, you're a bit pumped up, aren't you?" I sighed, she's quite obsessed with monster fighting.
"Luca, you're participating too?" Asked Axitl. "I wish you good luck!"
"Haha, thank you, Axitl, you're as cheerful as ever, congratulations for the baby." Said Luca.
"Oh, you heard about Styx? She's so lovely!" Said Axitl while hugging my arm.
"Yeah, some other clients I know have told me about the little girl, they said she's the cutest baby they had ever seen." Laughed Luca.
"Hahah… I didn't knew we were so famous…" I said rather surprised.
"You don't know? Your shop is the most popular in all of Riverside City, every trainer knows about you at this point, your family is also well known, especially that you got a lot of wives…" Laughed Luca.
"A-Ahh… Haha… I-I guess things get public real fast." I sighed. Maybe I should had been more careful about things like these.
"The nobles are a bit furious about you, you're stealing them all their jobs, hahaha! Well, whatever's the case, good luck, and I am not losing without giving my all so prepare yourselves, if you don't go all out against me, don't regret it later." Luca had an intimidating presence to her, as she giggled rather innocently.
"She's an interesting girl…" Said Gwendolyn.
"O-Oh well, whoever gets to fight her first might bet beaten fast…" Said Axitl.
"Yeah…" I sighed.
After a few minutes, the assortments were decided, there were in total 30 trainers that were going to participate in this arena, there were various small tournaments were they thinned out the trainers into 30, I had gone there with everybody else and we beat all the mob trainers with ease.
I suppose I also gained some fame from that time… Haha, I really don't like standing out, this is really quite the pain, isn't it? Sigh…
Well, anyways, Luca thankfully was given some random guy named Jeorge, he looked like a thug or something, so I didn't even felt sorry for the guy. All of us were put against people we didn't knew, so we were ready to beat their asses.
Except one of us… It was Arthurious and… he looked rather surprised to see the one he got matched with, it was nobody else than his eldest brother and also the one behind Blackie being left in such a state back then.
"B-Big brother…?! W-Why?!" Asked Arthurious in shock. It showed the face of a guy I had fought before, well, not fight, but it was an imbecile that tried to buy Gwendolyn as if she were a slave, it really pissed me off back then… So this guy is the grandson of the Emperor and also Arthurious big brother… I see, I guess I was right in that, Arthurious is the grandson of the Emperor of this entire Nation… Wow, what an expected plot twist.
But to think he was chosen to fight his brother… was this decided due to bribe or something? there is the possibility that Arthurious brother paid someone to match him with his little brother… I had heard that he and his family had a rivalry, well all his siblings. It seems that such a rivalry is to attain a chance to become the next Emperor…
"Arthurious, that's your brother?" Asked Gwendolyn.
"Wow, tough luck…" Said Axitl.
"Ahhh… I-I can't win! There's no way I can win against my brother…" Cried Arthurious.
"What are you talking about?! Are you trying to insult Blackie now, Arthurious?!" Asked Miriam, suddenly brining Arthurious back to reality as he suddenly realized he was indeed insulting Blackie by telling him he wasn't able to give him a win.
"I… No, I didn't…!" Muttered Arthurious.
"Then you go there and fight your brother! Show him how much you've grown with Blackie!" Said Miriam.
"How much… I have grown…" Said Arthurious.
"Yeah, I bet he'll get a scare after seeing how big Blackie got!" Laughed Miriam.
