"Holy crap, brother! I didn't expect things to blow up like this!"
"Yeah, I figured the duel would be exclusive to Raven's Blade. Who would've expected two such renowned figures to risk their reputations by setting up a public event at the city's dueling grounds?"
"And seriously, if it was just their reputations on the line, that would be one thing. But that bet? 50,000 gold coins, 500 units of three types of high-grade training tonics, plus ten uncommon-tier and three rare-tier skill books? What the hell was that about?"
"Those two definitely hated each other secretly! I don't even have 15,000 gold coins on me!"
Spittle flew everywhere as thousands of footsteps headed towards a single location: Valenzia City's Dueling Grounds.
Naturally, the sight of thousands of adventurers bearing the Raven's Blade crest drew attention from members of other guilds, sparking curiosity and prompting them to ask what all the commotion was about.
