章 223: Job Offer

In the warm sunlight, all the warriors gathered in the arena paused to watch this unexpected scene. Not only had one of Goldhaven's most famous guild warriors been defeated by a stranger, but the duel had taken place in the capital's most sacred place.

Fighting on the tatami was not a violation of the rules, but, usually, tamers did not use their demons' strongest skills. Kato and Yoichi had not caused massive damage to the environment, but they had risked doing so, violating the law.

Takamori looked at his student, and along with his eyes, his mantis demon's eyes were also pointed at the young Bronzeforest tamer. For a moment, it seemed as if the guild leader and Yoichi had estranged themselves from that place and time, traveling to an astral plane away from everything and everyone.

A great pride shone through the mustachioed man's bright eyes. He had been like a kind of father to Yoichi, always being kind and helpful to him.
