"Welcome back Elise, and good work," Lance said when Elise came back to the group.

"Yeah, I didn't expect there to still be more than five people remaining after I did that though, still shows there are still some talented individuals," Elise said as she nodded at him.

"I mean, the more talented individuals, the better for mankind. Wouldn't you agree with me?" Benji said.

"Yeah, you're right. As long as their powers are used for the greater good, and not for the evil." Elise said as she sat down by Maria.

"Anyway Elise, the guy you were fighting made me laugh so badly. His reaction when he accidentally stabbed the guy made me go crazy." Maria said as she recalled that moment.

"Yeah, it was pretty funny. I would've laughed too a little, had I not been fighting." Elise said truthfully as she did find it funny, as he was trying to beat her up so badly but got beaten up instead.

"Yeah, I wouldn't be in the mood to laugh if I was getting attacked either," Maria said.

"Anyway, who's up next?" Elise asked the group.

"Benji is up next," Chad said.

"Yeah, I will go check out my trap kit really quickly. Worst case scenario, I use my fists and beat them up." Benji said as he went to the locker room to check on his equipment.

"Alright, I expect you to win this one Benji," Lance said as he looked at him.

"I will don't worry about it. I can already beat a B-ranked adventurer with my fists, I don't really need traps against them." Benji said.

"Don't get too arrogant, it'll cause your downfall," Lance replied.

"I know, I am not being arrogant, it's just I have high expectations for myself," Benji said before he disappeared.

When he disappeared did the group finally talk again.

"Oh yeah so Sam, how much money have we earned so far?" Maria asked him.

"Near 400 rainbow coins. We made so much money, they won't let me bet anymore. I'll give you all back how much you used to bet." Sam said as he drank his juice.

"Wow! We earned so much! With this, I don't think we need to go adventuring anymore." Maria exclaimed when she heard the amount of money they had earned just from gambling.

"You do realize we only went adventuring to gain experience in fighting right? Not for the money," Lance said as he looked at Maria.

"Of course, of course, that's what I meant to say. Besides, where is Sylvie? I thought she would be coming to watch us fight." Maria asked.

"She's in one of the VIP rooms, I saw her carriage earlier when I was getting some more food," Sam said.

"Oh, wait she's in a VIP room? Guess she really is from that Martel family." Maria said.

"Yup and the bracket is about to start so let's watch," Chad said as he looked at the ring.

"There Benji is, look how confident he is," Chad added.
