He finally saw her without a mask. She was an unusually beautiful face, but that wasn"t the bit that stood out. It was her eyes, which was multi-colored. One was green the other blue. It didn"t make sense given her dark hair. It was Elita, "h.e.l.lo there Elita."She removed to daggers from her side, "I can end you right here, right now. Why are you here!? And why are you nearly naked?!"
He pointed towards Rita, "Well, first of all, relax. I don"t chase arrogant girls. I am here with her."
Elita turned towards Rita, "Why are you here then?"
Rita was just as confused, "Ask this guy!"
The man looked through everyone, "I am just here to deliver the young miss. If you want answers to ask, ask your mother. Would you please follow me, Miss Rita? We need to get you a change of clothes so that you can give the attire back to this young man."
Radley, "Ah, yes please do. I want to get to bed as fast as possible. Today has been a long one."
Rita followed the man. Radley collapsed against a wall holding his broken arm.
Elita sheathed her daggers, "What happened to you?"
"Nothing…b.u.mped my arm."
"Must have been one h.e.l.l of a b.u.mp. Your arm is swollen, discolored and misshapen…Your arm is broken, I am no idiot."
He lazily shrugged, "Who cares. I had it for nineteen years, it was bound to break."
She sighed, "This means you"re out of tomorrow"s compet.i.tion. Pity, I was really looking forward to facing you. If I don"t beat you at one hundred percent it would be hollow."
"Oh, don"t worry. I will still kick your a.s.s tomorrow."
"In your current condition. Even with the aid of a healer, I don"t see it happening."
He smiled, "We will see tomorrow."
"So, what happened?"
"Don"t you worry your pretty little head about it. Just you keep your head in the game."
She shrugged, "Whatever, something tells me my mom was involved."
Radley remained quiet. The two remained quiet for a while longer, when Elita spoke up, "Well, good luck with your arm."
Radley nodded and watched as she walked away. After a little while, the man came back with his gear and gave it to Radley. Radley accepted it and made way back to the hostel. His health was already up to ten percent. He smiled. Twenty percent of his energy had returned too. He found the slow increase of his energy perplexing, "Why is my energy going up so slowly."
The Diff system chimed up, "Your body is using the energy to repair your body. The more severe the damage the more energy is used. The slower your energy will gain."
Radley nodded. He was still suffering from all sorts of pain, and he was starting to get hungry. Even after all he had eaten today.
He walked through the entrance of the hostel and looked up at the clock in the entrance. It was eight o"clock at night.
He went to his room, where Ruby found him, "What the h.e.l.l happened!?"
He lifted his arm, "This…just b.u.mped it."
She ran up towards him and examined the arm, "Yip, that"s definitely broken. You should see a healer."
He whispered to himself, "Man, people are annoying…"
"What was that?"
"I said I will have it checked out in the morning."
"You should rather have it checked out now."
He rolled his eyes and went into his room, "Good night, Ruby." And closed the door.
"Wait, you have to…rude. You are never going to get a girlfriend with an att.i.tude like that!"
"Goodnight Ruby!"
She scoffed and walked away. Radley grabbed some of his preserved meat and chowed down. It actually tasted pretty bad now that he really tasted it, but he needed to quell his hunger. After he had his fill he went to bed and slept.
The next morning when he awoke he checked his stats. He was at one hundred percent. He tested his arm and smiled. No pain, or weird deformations. He did a few quick runner jumps and made his way through the door. Ruby saw him and scoffed. He smiled and specifically waved with his supposed broken arm.
Her eyes went wide, "Wait, didn"t…Huh? I"m confused. Are you a healer? No, stupid question. Healers can"t heal themselves…Aah, you went through the window, didn"t you?"
He frowned, "Seriously? We are on the second floor and I don"t have the money to see a healer. At least try and connect the dots before making weird a.s.sertions."
"Then how?"
"Doesn"t matter. Look I have to go. I still have the finals to get through."
"Oh, yeah, right. The finals. Good luck with that…was yesterday just my imagination?"
He almost wanted to laugh looking at her confused face, but he kept it in.
He went to the attending lady and paid another seventy-five dollars. He needed to win today otherwise he was screwed.
He went to the Arena where he was shown to the back area where he was last time. Again there was a bunch of food, which he didn"t hesitate to gorge himself on.
"Hey, Loner!"
He turned to see who it was. It was from Nina. He swallowed his food and said, "Oh, hey Nina."
She turned her head slightly, "I don"t remember telling you my name?"
Ah c.r.a.p! How was he going to play this one-off? He started to sweat bullets, "You did. Don"t you remember?"
She turned her head to the other side, "Did I?"

Aagh, seriously woman take the bait! He was starting sweat buckets by now.
She shrugged, "Guess I did. I already told the ref I was pulling, but apparently, it needed to be done in front of the populace, or I could permanently ban in the future and just staying away would help either. Sucky rules."
More and more people were making their way into the rings.
After an hour of waiting for people to settle down did the first announcement come up, "People from all walks of life. Welcome to the final day of the compet.i.tion. Our next combatants are ready and willing. Everyone knows this newcomer. Theeeee Loner. His combatant is a lady with a fiery spike, Theeeee Rose!"
The two of them made their way out into the field and stood opposite each other. The ref comes to them and said, "Begin!"
