The Last Ruler: The Return of the Goddess
Colosseums

A few days had passed since that incident, the Emperor also did not ask too much about what had happened, although he was worried when he found out that there were tornadoes around. And Altair's been quieter since he got back from there.

Even today, when all classes are stopped because everyone thinks Altair needs a mental break. Altair just stayed in his room looking at the birds flying in the sky, mostly he just daydreamed...

" Babhhh... "

And also a long breath.

While outside, people peeked at it out of curiosity as to what he was doing. And seeing her was not as active as before, really made them worry.

" We have to do something, he really looks very sad" said Mira who whispered with others.

" I agree, he looks like the sky is cloudy on the day of going to the beach" said Prince Abel.

" But what should we do? Should we take her for another walk? Or see something he's never seen? " ask Yin confused.

" I know. What if the place was. "proposed by Prince Theodore anyway.

They gathered together and discussed it together to determine what place they should show Altair.

On the other hand Altair, he was currently bored. He was not allowed to go out for a while if not together with Yin or Mira, and to be honest he was also not interested in going out for not finding anything new that he could see.

" Hm... Should I just fly somewhere else??" inner Altair.

He came down from the chair he was wearing in front of the window, and walked towards his desk. He opened the top drawer and found the mask given by Milya was also there and he took her.

His eyes looked at me, he touched the mask gently, and made him think of his good friend. And he remembered that too...

" Hm?? This mask is useful for suppressing Mana, right? Lumine said if wearing it my aura was completely erased and I would be considered an ordinary human being." - Inner Altair. He can think of many cool things that can be done by him with it, for example.

" Well, that's great! All right, I'll keep it, it will be useful later. "said Altair anyway who then save it again.

Then Altair's attention was turned to the open door of his room and Yin, Mira, Abel and Theodore entered.

" Everything? What's up?" altair asked, astonished to see that.

While everyone was just smiling strangely, and it scared the Altair a little.

" Hehe.. We want to take you somewhere" said Mira, who made Altair nervous.

Then...

Bruk!!

" The winner has been decided!" said someone who was the host of the show at that place.

" Woo..."

While all the spectators who saw it cheered on the victor, already one of them was Altair..

" Whoa!! It's great! How could he be that strong? " he said so excitedly. Seeing her back as before made the others happy too.

They are currently in the largest Colosseum in the Foldes, where Gladiators fight fellow gladiators, beasts and convicts. And some of them are volunteers who risk their social lives and their lives in the arena.

But there is something unique about the rules of the Colosseum that exist in the Foldes. In this place, each participant is required to use their bare hands, if anyone uses a weapon they will be disqualified. Similarly, with techniques, other than those used to strengthen the physique, other techniques are not allowed.

" Aha, you seem to like him so much Altair" Mira said as she stabbed Altair in the head.

" Yes, I've never seen a fight in the Colosseum before. It's like a dream come true " said Altair.

Yes, it is entertainment for everyone, with such a high income. The fight was getting bigger with other opposition...

A woman walked into the arena confidently, and she announced the challenge.

" Attention! To all the esteemed spectators, the great leader of the Colosseum had just made a challenge! Anyone can enter the arena and follow this opposition, old, young, male or female. There are no age and gender restrictions! The winner will get the grand prize, which is given directly by the great leader of the Colosseum!!" the woman sounded loud and clear.

" Well!! Whoa!!." Cheers for cheers were heard from the spectators, many were interested in the fight.

" The fighters entered the Arena!!" said the woman anyway.

And everyone who was interested jumped down to the arena, most of them were fighters or adventurers who had a high level of strength.

And one child interested...

" Teacher! The teacher! The teacher! I want to follow, I want to come. Can't you??" pinta Altair to Mira.

On the other hand, Yin thought it was not a good idea. " Oi, don't" he said, touching Mira's shoulder.

Mira herself just glanced at him a little bit then went back to Altair, "Of course, why not" he said.

Hearing that made Altair so excited, he immediately jumped down along with the others.

" Mira!! What are you doing?!!" yin shouted at seeing that.

While Mira is still relaxed, "Why are you worried so, she will be fine." he said.

" No, I'm not worried about Altair. I was worried about the people he would send to the health room. "sahut Yin also made Mira laugh out loud.

" Aahahah... We'll see how much. hahaha.." he said with his laugh.

Then he heard something more interesting than anywhere else...

" I bet on that big guy. "

" I bet on that curly-haired guy. "

People were betting on who would win in that fight, and Mira liked that.

" Hey, you guys I'm following!" he said as he approached them. The habit of gambling relapses again...

Yin simply looked at him flatly, while the Princes tried not to get involved in their matters, and focused on Altair.

****

While down there, the fighters who would follow the opposition of the great leader of the Colosseum had gathered. The average of them is men aged 25 years and over, large and muscular. They boast of each other's strength.

" Heh, that grand prize will be mine" said one of the fighters there.

" Don't be too confident, there are still many people who are stronger than you." said someone also chimed in.

" Huh?? Who cares? As long as there is money, people will do anything to be able to win. "said the person also arrogantly.

The two seem to be fighting, when...

" I'm sorry. "the other voices mediate them, "The fight has not yet begun, so instead do not quarrel first." and that is Altair.

All who saw was silent because there was a small child in the middle of the arena, and soon followed by laughter from them.

" Ahaahaha... What is a child doing in the middle of an arena like this?? Go home to your mama there" said the arrogant man who had a fight with the man.

Not only him, but many of them underestimated him even the audience, just because he was a child. They feel great just because they are at a high level.

" They said there's no age limit in the fight, so why can't I go along?? " ask Altair calmly.

As the person then walked up to him, "A little brat, this fight doesn't suit you. So go home "he told Altair.

" The arrogant one you know. "the inner Altair is upset.

Then he put his hand on Altair's head, and tried to press him. " Little girls like you, are better suited to learning to cook than to fight. huh?" but he was astonished himself because Altair was still standing upright in his place.

His mood became somewhat tense between them, moreover the man gasped in shock upon seeing the sharp gaze from Altair. But only for a moment, as the man who had just fought with him pulled his arm from Altair's head.

" Don't corner a kid who doesn't do anything if you're a real man" he said coldly in defence of Altair.

" Cih." while the man just grieved annoyed and went away from them.

Altair also only looked at it in silence, until the question from the person who helped her distracted her.

" You okay? " he asked Altair.

Altair smiled at him and nodded, "Yes, thank you" Altair said.

The man also smiled, "You're so good to be able to deal with the problem calmly, you're sure to be a person that many people admire very much" he said, which made Altair ashamed.

" Ahaha, yes. Thank you, but I'm not that good" replied Altair shyly.

" It's humble, it's the hallmark of a wise leader. Then fight in this game, and also be careful. "he said who then mingled with other participants as well.

" Thank you. "while Altair was still in place and paying attention to the situation.
