Chapter 15: New Troubles
Wise returned to the arena holdings to meet a very impressed Stanley.
He had expected Wise to be crushed in first few seconds but to his surprise, Wise not only survived but came out on top.
Stanley walked up to him and wrapped his arm around Wise’s shoulder.
"You didn’t tell me you were so strong kid! You flattened that demon like it was a bug."
Wise tossed the broken sword to the side. "I’m not very strong, I’m actually pretty weak..."
’At least compared to other dragons...’ he thought in his mind.
"Nonsense." Stanley said while they both walked deeper into the arena. "With your current strength you actually have a shot at winning the battle arena."
"Really?" Wise asked, looking surprised.
He had thought they would be far stronger foes to worry about.
"On second thought, maybe not." Stanley said. "But hey, you’ll go far at least."
The two of them continued walking until they arrived at the exit door. The old man gave him a friendly tap on the back.
