Chapter 487: Privilege
After Sam was sent to his cell, he was about to rest and think about the next step, but he was disturbed by someone, a Half-Naga appeared out of his cell and opened the lid, to let him out.
Sam frowned at this and became vigilant, but what surprised him was that he was given a spatial ring and the Half-Naga said.
"I am one of the supervisors of the fighters. My name is Fidi. Since you performed well and even earned a great bonus for the arena, if you win tomorrow's fight, you would be registered as an Iron class fighter in your current division and your matches have some more priority along with the perks you will receive.
Generally, one has to win five fights in a row to get this rank, but our boss appreciated your performance and gave you a chance.
Come with me for now."
With that, Sam followed this person to somewhere. Once again with that Hogwarts magic, they entered a room with no doors at all. Inside the room, there is a counter behind which an Old Naga with a beard sat down. His scales are not purple though. They are completely blue. He doesn't seem to be a Naga that belongs to this city.
Fidi walked towards the counter and whispered something to the Old man. The Old man looked at Sam and nodded his head which Sam replied with a nod.
After some talk, Fidi came back and said to Sam.
This is the store of the arena. This is for the fighters and some low-level workers who don't have access to the outside world. You can ask him anything and he will give you if it doesn't violate the rules of the arena and you have enough to pay for it.
Whether it is a food you like or an herb you want, the medicines or even a woman to warm your bed, he is the person. We call him the Shop Keeper.
If you want you can buy something now.
Sam looked around and did see a lot of items, there are many pills, potions, herbs, types of meats, and other materials that could be used for weapons.
Sam was a bit confused when he saw materials and asked.
"Are fighters allowed to make their own weapons?"
"There is a forge within the Arena premises that only works for fighters. You can use it to make your own weapon if you know how to do so, but you have to pay a price.
If you can't you can also pay for an artisan of Arena to make a weapon, but you have to get the required raw materials from the store.
The artisan wouldn't provide any of them."
"Okay."
After that, Sam looked at a book on the counter and noticed that it seemed to be a catalog of the items.
"These are all the items that are available within the shop, you can get them anytime you want, there are even prices listed on them."
The Shop Keeper said in a grumpy tone.
"Thanks."
With that, Sam checked the catalog and was surprised by the collection of the items that are for sale. There are all kinds of raw materials that are completely unavailable back on the previous planet, and the price is also reasonable.
After some time, Sam picked up some type of beast meat. It is one of the beasts that has not become poisonous due to the environment, just like humans they are forced to mutate to this environment but they only got the immunity, not the poison attributes.
This bird is actually a lightning type beast and a deer at that. It would be great to eat.
"I suppose I can cook for myself, right?" Sam asked the supervisor. When the latter nodded, he started buying the beast meat of the deer and other herbs that might work as a seasoning.
After almost emptying everything he got as rewards, he went back to his cell happily. Before the meal that could suppress the slow poison arrived, Sam already started cooking in a small cauldron.
he didn't use the cauldron as a bowl though, he used it as a container to hold the fire and roasted the deer meat which was crusted with various herbs over it.
Soon, the cell was completely filled with a great fragrance. Sam gave half of the meal to Arman and both of them slept with satisfaction.
Meanwhile, within a room, nearby somebody is watching what is happening in Sam's room within a screen.
They didn't notice anything suspicious, so then only they let it go.
The next day, once again the fighting time arrived. This day it is actually quite special, from Fidi, Sam learned that these three days are a special event that happens at the start of every year.
These three days, there will be a large number of inductees as fighters into the arena, and those events along with some special main matches will be held, and apparently these three days, there will be fights throughout the twenty-four hours.
There will also be new inductees into all divisions from the great realm to the Transcendent realm.
So, there will be matches of the transcendent stage today as this day is the last of the three.
Sam was now able to watch the match directly on the screen because of fidi.
Fidi didn't seem to mind at all, because today Sam's future will be decided if he really does as he says, then he might be something that could be useful, but if he failed and disappointed them, then he might become some sex slave for Naga women who have some special interests.
Sam is fully immersed in the battle as he didn't care about what others are plotting against him.
The battle is quite good and these people are also almost half-Nagas. It seems like the Naga bloodline really does have great influence within them.
He has to confirm it first-hand. The stage is almost destroyed completely from the battle, but after the battle is over, it was recovered instantly as if the time has been reversed.
After the new inductees of the transcendent stage division finished their fights, Sam's group had their turn.
When it was Sam's turn he looked at the candidate and said.
"I said that I would only use one arm and break the left leg of the opponent. If you know what is good for you, better give up silently."
"Arrogant shit head. Don't fart so much from your mouth. It seems like you are used to eating shit all the time."
When Sam heard this, he suddenly remembered the delicious dishes of Mackey and how he savored them. He suddenly became angry.
How dare he, making him see this image?
So, Sam made his move, he placed his left hand in his pant pocket and showed his left hand towards him provoking him to come at him.
But this time, the opponent is a mage. Ans fire element one at that, he threw a fireball as an answer for Sam's provocation.
Sam dodged this and suddenly his leg muscles bulged as he kicked the stage and lunged forward. He disappeared leaving an afterimage and arrived right in front of the opponent and
*PAK*
A clean and crisp slap landed on the face of the opponent and a tooth flew out of his mouth as he fell down, face first.
The arena has a stunning silence for a second and later there is a laugh that could shake the whole stadium.
The opponent stood up weakly and was in a daze, he didn't expect that he would go down with one slap.
"Who did you say is eating shit?"
Sam yelled loudly as he closed in once more. He hit him straight in the face once again. He didn't stop there and continued on beating the crap with a single hand. He even held the guy by his leg and started bashing him to the stage.
Sam is extremely fond of food. After all, with his cultivation, he doesn't need to eat daily, in fact, he doesn't even need to eat all if he is continuously focused on cultivating and take some potions of pills. But not only does he not like the potions and pills, but he is also a fan of food.
But because of this guy, every time he sees food and about to eat it, he will remember shit. How is that forgivable.
After bashing him hard until all the bones broke in his body, only his left leg which was held by Sam was left intact.
He said he would break the left leg, but he almost broke every other bone in his body.
Sam finally got bored and threw this guy away and the referee finally announced the end of the match.
The audience burst into cheers and one of them yelled at the top of their lungs.
"What are you going to do in the next match, tell us?"
When he said those words, everyone stopped their cheers.
"I will make him dance like a chicken."
With that Sam left within the cheers of the audience.
Fidi, who is watching the incident was smiling. Sam's way of doing things is giving more profits, but it is a pity that this method cannot be used by all fighters. But he is not that disappointed, because he felt that Sam could probably bring him a big surprise.
