Chapter 107 The Last Straw That Broke The Camel’s Back Jeane managed to win his match, but it was a close call. The one he fought against was a young Barbarian who was testing his martial prowess in the arena. The fight lasted for nearly fifteen minutes. The battle had been quite intense, with neither one of them backed down. Unlike Rufus, who specialized in offense, Jeane was an all-rounder. He was also very good in counterattacks, which made the young Barbarian lose his composure. In the end, the teenage boy played to his strength and fought his opponent in a battle of attrition, winning by a small margin. Updated from Jeane's arms were bruised and battered from using them to block and deflect his opponent's attacks. Although he got hit a couple of times, none of those landed on his vital parts, allowing him to win the match. Eren, on the other hand, was more to Thirteen's liking. The boy with blonde hair and blue eyes was very sneaky. He didn't engage his opponents head-on and employed hit-and-run tactics. Similar to Jeane, the one he fought against was a Barbarian in training, but what caught Thirteen's attention was the fact that Eren knew his strike range by heart. When his opponent came within the range of his fists and legs, he would hit them without a second thought before quickly retreating. Fighting against someone like him was very annoying since you wouldn't know if he was going to attack or going to run away. The Barbarians booed him as well, but Eren didn't give a hoot to what they were thinking. In the end, he won the match when his opponent conceded out of annoyance. Rianna's reaction to Eren's win was lukewarm, but the boy only smiled as he returned to her side like a faithful puppy, waiting for his Master's orders. 'Such an interesting individual,' Thirteen thought. 'Among the three of them, this guy is definitely the most versatile.' Eren made his fight look so easy as if he was fighting against a child. From start to finish, his opponent wasn't even able to land a blow to his body. For the seven-year-old, this spoke volumes of Eren's abilities, making him the perfect scout for Rianna's future Hunting Team. After a short break, Percival made his appearance in the arena. However, no matter what it did, Percival was simply too fast for it to properly land a hit on the Tigerkin's body. In the end, the owner of the Ogre stood up and conceded the match. He couldn't afford to let the Ogre die as it was a member of his personal hunting party. Although losing to a weaker Tigerkin was annoying, he decided to pull back before the Ogre bled to death, causing him significant losses. "Winner, Taiga!" The Tigerkin panted for breath before wiping away the saliva that was oozing out from the corner of his lips. He didn't feel anything a while ago because adrenaline was still pumping inside his body. However, the moment the battle ended, the exhaustion hit him like a truck, making him feel as if a mountain was pressing down on his back. When he raised his head to look at his Master, he saw Raldo sneakily giving the younger boy three Red Coins, which almost made the Tigerkin stop breathing for a few seconds. Only when Thirteen glanced once more in his direction did Percival realize that he had been played a second time. Feeling angry, hurt, and distressed, the Tigerkin collapsed on the ground while still looking at his Master in disbelief. Thirteen chuckled internally before raising his hand to show Percival the three Red Coins that were held between his fingers. He knew how sensitive a Tigerkin's hearing was, so he tricked the pitiful slave by purposely saying who he was going to put his bet on while handing the Red Coin to Raldo. What Percival didn't know was that before the deal was finalized, the seven-year-old "changed" his mind and placed his bet on him instead. But Raldo was very wary of Thirteen milking them with his winnings, so he proposed a deal. If the boy won his bet a second time, he would not be allowed to join the Gambling House for a month. Thirteen agreed to this deal, but he also proposed a condition, which Raldo agreed to. That was the last straw that broke the camel's back, making Percival's eyes roll into the back of their sockets as he fainted out of grief and indignation. What the Tigerkin didn't know was that Thirteen was speeding up his character progression, allowing his destiny to progress as soon as possible. Some Heroes grew stronger the more hardships they encountered in their lives. Thirteen believed that Percival fell under this category since he found him in a Slave Market. By overcoming these hardships, the Hero's resolve would strengthen, allowing him to grow stronger at a rapid pace. All of this was an experiment for the seven-year-old boy, allowing him to better understand the growth of Heroes. He was confident that even if he were fated to be a Cannon Fodder, he would still be able to forge his own path and beat Fate in her own b*tchy game.
