Chapter 49: (XLIX) Victory

Due to the emergence of the Berserk Climber, the audience had been evacuated, so the award ceremony was canceled. Viktoria had been resting in the medical wing of the coliseum, and Jackson was told to wait in one of the fancier locker rooms higher in the stadium.

After a while of laying on a bench, staring at the ceiling, a member of Flaming Dawn arrived in their white uniform and cloak, escorted him through the stone hallways and up to the Emperor's Box, which had cracks in the foundation from the force of Viktoria going berserk.

"Congratulations on your victory!" Ramus said with a slight smile, turning to greet him, "I guess a win by disqualification isn't as satisfying, but a win's a win either way.

You can go to any of the payout windows and collect your share. It's all been set aside for you, including your reward for winning."
