161 One-sided (1/2)

---

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 couldn't help but to raise their brows. They found it inconceivable that a kid actually managed pass through the first round. He wasn't the first kid they saw that joined this competition but they thought all of them were eliminated already during the first round.

They all stood in a circle on top of the arena. The announcer remained below and raised his hand, after gazing at the remaining participants, he sighed and made a long chop while yelling: ”6th batch, 2nd round. Start!”

Raven didn't move, as soon as the announcer started the match, he already caught several people eyeing him like a prey, he inwardly sneered and allowed them to do as they pleased.

”Be obedient boy and go down on your own.” A bald guy carrying a wooden axe glared at him, trying to intimidate him with his presence.

Raven couldn't even be bothered to reply, he just glanced at that person for a brief second before looking away.

This gesture offended the bald guy, apparently he wasn't the only one who found Raven's presence here to be unwanted, the same goes for the rest since they thought that a kid shouldn't be here.

”Listen to him kid, you're in a lot of pain for being so stubborn.” A guy with a long hair added, trying a patient approach.

Needless to say, he did not get a different response from Raven. He offered no words to their request.

”Someone, deal with the kid first. He's being a nuisance.” Some brown haired guy sneered and told the rest. The other contestants glared at him fiercely, someone replied with an equally domineering voice.

”It's your idea so why don't you do it?”

”Chores like childcare doesn't suit a fine gentleman like me, it's up to you peasants to deal with it.”

”Fine gentleman? Where? I don't see one. All I hear is a sissy.” Someone sneered. This made the gentleman's face to instantly crumple in a ugliness. He turned his head around and threw a sharp glare to the person who just spoke.

”Ah, I didn't know pigs could speak nowadays.” The brown haired guy fired back, he saw how the man's face turned sour by his words so he laughed and said: ”Oh? Have I offended you in anyway? I didn't know pigs could be offended. My bad. But pigs should like meals right? Why don't you eat that kid first then maybe I'll allow you to roll on mud next time.”

Things are starting to get really heated between the contestants. They didn't even considered the fact that they were acting like spoiled brats in front of many people.

Meanwhile, within the audience Elyion was busy stuffing his mouth with food as he watched. He then inwardly said: 'Oh, they're just really underestimating him huh?'

He swallowed his food and took a sip of his drink, 'I mean, all living things will eventually die, but some people want their deaths to arrive sooner rather than later. What can we do?'

”How unpleasant.”

For the first time since going up stage, Raven spoke.

All heads turned towards him, they saw him shaking his head and showing a very disappointed expression on his face. He listened as these so called 'adults' insulted each other like spoiled brats which made him extremely irritated.

”Stop wasting time.” He said as he eyed them one by one, ”You people can come all at once, I'm getting tired of this.”

His words drew sharp breaths from people who were watching. Those words! How arrogant! Who is this child and does he not know how to write the word 'death'?

He's directly provoking nine fully grown adults, who in their right mind will do that?
