The next step

Hearing Ren telling him that he had passed, Arthur couldn't believe his ears. It was finally over, as he let go of his arm which he had bitten a lot of blood started to flow out. At that moment as adrenaline was pumping through his veins he couldn't feel the pain that much. Yet now that it was over he could feel devastating pain. 

The pain was great but it didn't evoke any fear or worry in Arthur's face. In fact, to Arthur, this pain was something to be proud of. This pain was something he used to overcome his weakness and allowed him to remain standing tall. This time he didn't faint he went through it all awake.
