When the girls group reached in front of the arena building Fiona suddenly started to cast several spells. She cast "dark bindings" and "chains of light". All girls were bewildered to see Fiona suddenly using spells like that and looked toward the target of her spells to find Quinn there trapped by several black coloured vines coming from her shadow and a bright golden chain.

Behind Quinn the girls also noticed Lucian, Tiove and Gabriel. Shuri greeted Lucian enthusiastically and got ashamed after realising she did it in front of everyone. Seeing her reacting cutely like that all the other girls secretly smiled in their hearts.

Fiona didn't look at anyone but she was giving a very scary look to Quinn. Quinn tried to act nonchalant but the cold sweat on her forehead completely destroyed all her acts. As Fiona was getting closer and closer to her, Quinn's expression kept changing and at last she apologized meekly. Even then she heard an earful from Fiona before other girls calmed her down. Then the boys' trio joined the girls and went to the counter to get the tickets.

...

While the boys' trio and the girls' group were getting together, Demiliona and Andric were also going toward the same arena. But they were not here to enjoy the battle between champions but they were going there to finish a mission.

When they were searching for the herbs in the alchemy district, they found a run down shop at a corner of a street. This shop had a sign identifying it as a herb's shop but the shop looked so dilapidated that it was hard to believe that the shop was even open. But a board on the door of the shop with the word open written on it was contradicting their thoughts.

After thinking for some time Demiliona and Andric both believed in their intuition and entered the shop. They had searched for those herbs in all the big and reputable shops but all of them had their stocks empty for some reason. So they didn't want to miss any of the shops for just not looking like the big shops. They knew not to judge a book by its cover.

After entering the shop they found an average looking young man at the counter and a young lady sorting the herbs. Seeing them enter the shop the young man smiled at them and asked -

"Welcome, how may I be a help to you?"

In answer, Adrian gave him the list of herbs they needed. While taking a look at it he told them -

"Hmm, the herbs you needed are quite rare but lucky for you as I currently have all the herbs you need. But there is a tiny bit of a problem."

The way this young man laughed at them put both of them on guard. It wasn't a ferocious or scary smile but it looked very scheming which none of them were comfortable with. Seeing both their guarded expression the young man said -

"Hey, you two don't need to be on guard. I'm not planning anything bad. Actually there is something I need your help for. If you can help me I will give you some discount. How about it?"

Demiliona didn't wait to think about it and hold Andric's hand pulling him toward the door and said -

"No thanks."

Hearing this answer the smile on the young man's face froze. He quickly came out of the counter to stop them and said -

"Wait, wait, wait. First at least hear me out okay. I'm not going to ask you to do anything bad. It's just a request to deliver some things to the famous arena of the city. I will even give you these two tickets for the champion's battle as a bonus. It is a very good deal. Right?"

Andric was going to say something but Demiliona stopped him. She then asked -

"How much discount are we talking about and what is the item that we need to deliver?"

"Ehh, umm how about 2% wait wait don't go. I will give you 5%. Okay? And the item is nothing special. It's just some rare spirit herbs for healing."

"Make that 20% or we are out. And why are you letting us, whom you're seeing for the very first time to deliver something rare? How can you believe that we will not run away with it?"

"Ah, it's nothing special really. I'm just a good judge of character so I'm sure you two will not run away with the herbs. And as for the discount, hmm. Unn. 10% is my absolute limit I can't go any lower than that."

This time Andric asked a question -

"As far as I know, the arena is not very far from here. Why don't you go and deliver it yourself?"

She smiled bitterly and said -

"Actually I'm able to go out of the shop for a special reason. I had a helper who was supposed to go in my place, but he suddenly got ill this morning and was unable to come. That's why, I have no other way but to ask you two. You two are also the only customers that I got for the whole day. I will really appreciate some help."

Seeing the sincerity that the shop keeper was showing right now, both Demiliona and Andric decided to accept his request and nodded their heads in acceptance.

"Thank you very much. My name is Fuyama and she is Maya. Thank you very much for accepting."

The girl who still didn't say a single word also lightly bowed at them. Demiliona and Andric also didn't ask anything anymore and took the storage bag filled with the herbs and went toward the arena.

...

While Rondo was waiting in the line to get a ticket, from the corner of his eye he saw the large group consisting of almost all the girls and the newly joined boys' trio. Seeing that they were also going to line up for the tickets, Rondo called out to them. He was waiting in the line for quite some time so his turn was just about to come.

Seeing Rondo waiting in the line all the students were a bit surprised as they didn't think that he would also be interested in this match. But without wasting much time all of them went close to him. He also proposed to buy the tickets for everyone and as that would be faster, everyone also agreed to it.

After they got their tickets all of them entered the arena just to find that it was fully packed. But the good thing was that Rondo had brought the elite VIP tickets for everyone as Elena had really given all the students quite a lot of money to spend. So, as they had the VIP tickets, they didn't have to watch the battle with all these crowds. They could comfortably enjoy the bout inside a luxurious room.

But just as they entered the VIP room they were once again shocked to find Uoni and Hans there. Those two were also quite surprised to see the large group. Just as they were going to greet each other's group they heard a familiar voice. It was Demiliona who was talking with an official of the arena. She and Andric just reached this place and were told to go to the VIP room to deliver the spirit herbs. The tickets they got as a bonus were also of the VIP category.

When Demiliona was done with the delivery and was trying to find a good seat to watch the upcoming bouts they heard someone shouting their names. Looking in that direction they found that it was none other than Quinn with her boisterous voice. They also show all the other members behind her. It was very astonishing for them as how all of them were able to meet up with each other even tho none of this was planned.

"Coincidences can be scart huh." Prescilia said.

"Now we are just missing the teachers and the other gang will be complete." Quinn said.

"And Elena sensei will be the big bad gang leader huh." Fiona said.

"With how beautiful she looks, she probably just needs to stay a single word and everyone would submit to our gang." Gabriel joked.

"This is not a joke. I once went to the capital's adventurer guild and saw that all the adventurers there, from high ranking to low ranking were her fans. It was like sensei had an army of her own here." Quinn said.

"She had worked on the capital for a long time, so that is given. But big sister Elena just stayed in my city only for a day or two but she still had more influence there than even the guild master." Lucian added.

Just as they were going to continue this discussion about Elena with even more excitement, they heard a voice.

"What are you guys doing here?"

When all of them looked back they show Nina sensei there. All the students were even more bewildered to see a teacher here. But still Fiona came back to her senses the fastest and explained the situation to her. Hearing them she said -

"I see. That's interesting. But all of you now come with me to the special VIP room that elder sister had booked. Come on, hurry up."
