Generally speaking,
it's hard to describe the cost of hiring an eighth-order strongman to fight in Black Fist, even without discussing whether such a national pillar of strength would agree to be hired in the first place.
Because, to be honest, for an eighth-order strongman to hide his strength and bully sixth-orders in such competitions, and to be complacent about it, is truly embarrassing.
"So it seems that it's getting late, and I doubt any fighter would want to take a ranking match with me tonight,"
said Lanci, estimating the time and feeling it was about time to escort Miss Christina home.
The ranking matches didn't carry a commission,
because they weren't associated with business disputes at all; they simply were a means for fighters to increase their value and for employers to gain fame through the competition.
The only way to make money from such matches was through betting.
