After the last fight ended, Kaiser and Damian went back to the Copper Place with a guard escorting them.
Kaiser still took the buckler with him—he's going to keep it.
Moving on, they got back not long after. And as soon as they got there—
"Congrats on coming back alive."
Viktor greeted them, smiling. Rose, Jhamillah, and Jenna were with him.
"Congrats on winning."
"Yeah, you guys were awesome!"
"Welcome back!"
They greeted in order.
"Thanks."
Kaiser simply replied, smiling at them.
"Thank you guys!"
Then Damian followed after.
It was night now, and just on time—dinner arrived. It was nothing fancy, just some bread and a small portion of roasted pig meat.
Kaiser and everyone else took their food, and after that—they sat on the floor and formed a circle.
And with that, they started eating and talking.
"How do you feel about your first fight?"
Viktor asked Damian. The three girls looked at him curiously too, waiting for him to speak.
