After the second round was over, The remaining five hundred competitors got a break. Every one of them was absorbed into the earth and appeared underground.
" Brother Athan! Hahaha, congratulations. "
Athan heard the voice of Shish and turned around.
Shish was walking towards him, but his clothes were a bit tattered. On the other hand, Celesti was fine as she smiled at Athan and nodded.
Athan also nodded back and then faintly smiled at Shish, who seems to be excited on his behalf for passing the round.
Shish laughed before saying with a grin, " I knew that brother Athan could pass the round. "
Athan smiled at him and asked, " Really? "
" Ehh...he..he...well, of course. Hahaha. " Shish turned awkward for a moment as he was unable to hide his false claim before he swept it up with a laugher.
Celesti smiled wryly and said, " Don't mind him, Athan. He was just...you know, a bit worried about you. "
This is a big chapter, almost 2 in 1 but I'll still release one more chapter after waking up. Thank you for understanding :) Also, I will finally have more time to write so expect the quality to get a bit better. :)
