Chapter 488: Gamble
After Sam came back into the room, Fidi is already waiting for him, he didn't take him directly back to the cell. Arman also won the third fight and he was actually going to continue fighting. Out of thirty only seven of them are left.
As for the rest of them, no one knew where they were taken to.
After the new guys went back to their cells, Sam was taken to a small private room with Fidi.
They didn't speak and stayed silent for ten more minutes and Fidi only talked after an attendant came in and gave some spatial ring.
After checking the contents of the three, he was a bit surprised but still gave him one of the rings.
This is the winner bonus that was given by the customers. The audience had naturally given him many bonuses after his crazy performance.
He took a look inside the ring and he was also a bit surprised.
But he didn't completely show that on his face. Fidi looked at him with interest and said.
"From today on, you will be an Iron Level Middle-stage Nascent Division fighter. And I will be your supervisor.
Before you know what perks, you get and what kind of fights you would experience, you should know how the system works here.
In every division, there are five levels of fighters and it would be six if you include the new inductees.
Now the five grades would be Gold Level, Silver Level, Bronze Level, Iron Level and the last one is a Casual fighter.
Every time, the new inductees are taken in, they will mostly fight among themselves, before getting the status of a casual fighter.
The Casual fighters will fight among themselves until they get into the higher ranks and try to become an Iron Level fighter.
If a casual fighter is too strong and challenges opponents and gets a five-win streak, then he would be promoted to the Iron Level fighter.
From here on out, the rankings will be attached.
Right now, there are thirty Iron level fighters and you are the thirty-first one. You can increase your rankings by defeating the opponents.
Above you, there are twenty Bronze-Level fighters, ten Silver level fighters, five Gold Level fighters.
The three Nascent divisions have the most fighters of all divisions and three of them have more or less the same number of fighters.
For an Iron Level fighter, you have to fight every three days, to be considered active and for the Bronze level fighter, you have to fight at least once every five days, for the Silver Level fighters once every week, and for the Gold Level fighters, twice every month.
You will receive the monthly allowance only if you are considered active.
Apart from that, you will have a new residence.
One more thing you have to know is that there are many supervisors here and the supervisors are responsible for the fights to happen.
Even though, the Nascent divisions have the most fighters the remaining divisions don't have a smaller number of fighters. The difference is not so big.
As for the supervisors responsible for the Nascent divisions, there are four of them in total. They take the responsibility to not only organize the fighters but also take the fighters under their wing and take care of them.
Any injuries, needs, necessities of those fighters under their wing are the supervisor's responsibility. Currently, the three supervisors have fifty fighters under them and I am the only one who has forty-five and you are going to be the forty-sixth one.
We will sit together and see who is a good match to who and set the fight. Every time, the fight was set the tickets will directly go to the arena, the fight bonuses the audience gives will partly go to supervisors and the winner bonus will go to the winner, the loser bonus will go to the loser.
If the supervisor wants, he can give some of their reward to the fighter.
This is how things work.
The ranking system will be decided by the arena and there are various factors that come into play. The number of wins, the fighters you defeated and such.
For you to go to the Bronze rank from Iron rank, you have to have a ten-win streak. Otherwise, no matter how much you fight, you will not be able to become a bronze rank, you might stay in the Rank-1 of Iron Level, for a long time, but that doesn't mean anything if you don't have a winning streak.
That's all you have to know for now. If you have any doubts, ask me."
"Sir, why are the fighters so few? If what you said is right, there should be many more fighters in the division right? The ten-win streak is not that hard to achieve."
"Of course, it would be easy to win ten times in a row. But what you don't know is, you cannot choose your opponents and we do that, so basically you lost the chance to fight the lower rankers than you who in most cases would be weaker than you.
As for the win-streak, only the ten fights you won against the higher rankers will be taken into account. That means you would be the challenger in those ten fights. As for the fights you win when the lower rankers challenge you, you will get bonuses and they will be counted as your activity, but not in the win streak.
Even if all of it was achieved, they will have to survive all the fights. The death rate is not less. So, be careful and don't die.
You have your next fight tomorrow with the thirtieth ranked Iron Level. The attendant will lead you to the store if you want to, otherwise, you can back to your cell. You will get your new residence after tomorrow's fight.
Sam went to the store and bought another type of meat and went back to the cell. There he cooked the meat once more and ate with Arman.
He began to think about what he should do next and soon the time for the next fight came. The next day, he was led to the arena, not just him many of the casual fighters also have fought and on that day he realized that there is more than just one battle arena.
There are two more arenas that only host casual fights. Arman was led there for his fight today.
When Sam's fight came, he did as he told. He made the opponent look like a little baby and toyed with him so much, that he wanted to admit defeat, but Sam didn't let him. He chased after him and didn't let him give a chance to utter a word.
He stuck to him like white on rice and beat the mouth so much that Jaw almost crumbled and on Sam's demand he even agreed to act like a chicken.
Only after that, did he let him go. The audience is cheering once again. For some reason, they liked Sam's cocky and sadistic behavior.
But this time, he didn't make any comments and left the stage. When he went back into the room, Fidi is with another three men who seemed to be the remaining three supervisors.
When he looked at Sam, he called him over and both of them went into the private room. Soon, the bonuses are there and Sam got his share.
But Sam didn't leave immediately, instead, he said.
"Sir Fidi, do you want to make more money?"
"What?"
"I can help you make more money. I understand the audience and if you want, we can sell the fight even better."
Sam said in a serious tone.
"And how do you do that?" Fidi said in a half sarcastic tone.
"May I ask, if you are friends with any other supervisor in the remaining three?"
"What if I am?"
"If you have a friend, I have a way that could benefit both of you guys and the fighters under you. Of course, it is not some stupid match-fixing and rigging the outcome. The battles would be completely genuine.
Just make a few tweaks and you can make more money off of it."
"Really? You better not be bullshitting, I am in a good mood because of your fight bonus, so I would listen to it. But if I don't like the idea, you better get ready to face the consequences."
Sam was confident and started speaking. Soon, Fidi has eyes full of surprise and he focused on the conversation as he asked doubts.
After half-an-hour, Fidi came running out of the room and met with the three supervisors once again. But this time, he didn't engage in conversation instead he grabbed one of them and dragged him inside.
Soon another round of discussion ensued.
After another hour, the three of them finally came out and the three supervisors ran away once again to register the next day's fights.
Sam is grinning from ear to ear as he left for his room. He has too many dead ends in this arena and it would become a bad decision to come here if the situation is like this.
Even though he has a lot of time, he still needs to find a way to get as much information about this world as possible. So, he couldn't help but take risks and gamble with different approaches and the talk with Fidi is one of those approaches.
