113: Winning!

It wasn't long before Val was called back to the arena. His opponent this time was a tall, slim man with porcelain white skin and teeth reminiscent of a rabbit. His name was Ashton.

With slanted eyes, Ashton looked at Val and said, "I know you're strong. But I'm not going to go down without a fight."

Val chuckled, unfazed by Ashton's bravado. "Courage without the ability to back it up is futile," he taunted. "Fighting an inevitable battle isn't smart. If you had a bit of sense, you would've given up. That's what I would've done in your shoes."

At his words, The crowd was in absolute shock, their eyes glued to Val.

"He's a menace," someone whispered. Others nodded.

A system notification rang in Val's mind.

+50 Mad Points!

Val's lips curled up into a thin smile. He finally had enough mad points to gain 1 stat point!

Ignoring Val's mocking words, Ashton growled back, "We'll see about that!" and charged at Val, his weapon raised high.
