Chapter 27: Coin Collector (2/2)

”Alright,” Elliot nodded.

They decided to spectate the match between Gladiator Jacob and Gladiator Killer. And the system teleported them to a seat in one of the four benches surrounding an arena to view the fight. The match still hasn't begun as it was in its pre-battle state, meaning they could bet on one of the Gladiators. They could see a thirty-second countdown over the arena. Only that amount of time was left before the battle starts. They didn't have much time on their hands to place a bet.

There were a few other people here except for them, and some of them had already placed their bet on the gladiators, and some were deciding to do it, too.

Elliot didn't waste this god-sent opportunity to earn free magic coins and used his God's eye of wisdom on both the gladiator to find out about their strength. A black screen containing all the details about their ability and stats appeared in his view, confirming his guess that he can determine the strength of everyone in the Magic Coliseum using his God's eyes of wisdom.

He looked through the information provided by his eye of wisdom in a few seconds.

Elliot found out that Jacob wasn't just two levels above Killer, but his stats also exceeds Killer's stat by a few numbers.

”Guys, bet on Jacob,” Elliot said to Theo and John.

”What?” John eye's raised in confusion.

”Trust me on this and bet on Jacob,” Elliot said, putting in all his savings on Jacob.

”Let's just do as he says,” Theo said as he betted 200 magic coins on Jacob.

”Well, it's only a few magic coins, so sure,” John said, betting 20 magic coins on Jacob.

The two gladiators started fighting after the countdown reached zero. Everyone could see that Killer was having a hard time since the beginning of the match as Jacob's fire ability easily overpowered his water ability. And it didn't last long as Jacob used a fire blast to blast Killer to death.

<Gladiator Jacob has won the match>

An announcement made in a feminine voice sounded out in the arena after the gladiator won the match.

At the same time, a screen bearing great news popped in front of Elliot.

<Congratulations, Spectator Coin Collector! The Gladiator you chose to bet on has won the match>

<You've won 500 Magic Coins>

”Wow! It's as I expected.” Elliot exclaimed in his heart before leaving the spectator's area and entering the lobby where a lot of matches were going on and few on the pre-battle interface.

”He really won!”

Theo's and John's eyes widened in shock as they turned to look at Elliot in surprise as if he was not a human but the son of luck.

”How were you so sure that Jacob was going to win?” John asked as he blinked his eyes at Elliot in amazement.

”Just a lucky guess, haha.” Elliot laughed out of it. He didn't want to reveal the power of his eyes to them, at least not now.

”The last one was pretty one-sided. Let's spectate another match.” John said after a moment.

”Well, why not?” Theo nodded in agreement.

”I will look for one,” John said, searching for a match between famous Gladiators.

He wanted to witness an intense battle to get himself excited and mentally prepared before participating in a fight to the death himself.

Elliot, on the other hand, felt happiness rising in his heart as he looked at the 500 magic coins stored in his quantum card.

He has earned 500 magic coins in five minutes with a single bet!

”I'll be able to earn a lot of magic coins today,” he said jovially, a smile of greed stretching across the face of his bald avatar.
