"You don't understand the significance of this contest," Olor sighed, "this isn't a mere contest between academies and clans in your world. I heard many representatives of higher clans and academies will be present there, scouting for talents."
"Your meaning?"
"Those assassins will be helpless there," Olor said, "the chances of them attacking you in the contest is so miniscule."
"If so then why were they sent there?" Arthur asked for more info.
"They thought you were hiding inside your academy. I even heard they attacked it once, searched far and wide there with no result."
Arthur nodded as he realized everything now. It was good luck for him to stay inside his garden all this time.
"Do you have a map of the weak places with no guards inside your world?" Arthur suddenly asked.
"This…" Olor seemed to be hesitant.
"What? I thought we got over the part where you were still loyal to the dark world here," Arthur sneered.
