44 – Criminal-1

It was an ordinary life.

The idea of being superior to anyone else is a life that is no different from others to the extent that you will never experience it in your lifetime.

I have worked as a mercenary and as an adventurer, but I have not been able to rise to a high position.

It was inevitable. In the world, there are too many talented people and people who work hard.

The class was also normal. A Secutor with a sword and shield, appropriately armed. It was the class chosen by the most gladiators.

Her grades were also average. Somehow, I was slowly raising my score, but compared to the people above me, it fell far short.

I thought that a man was a being above the sky. Since they are the ones who are confined to Selam, they thought that ordinary people would never be able to see their faces.

After living like that, I thought that if I was too lonely or wanted to leave an heir, I would receive a seed, give birth to a child, and disappear normally.

She Just like the people next to her live like that, like her mother lived like that, just like ordinary people who have nothing to promote live like that.

However, the world has changed.

“Haven’t the rules changed this time?”

“I’ve heard that the Letarius nets are getting a bit heavy, but I don’t think there will be any major problems.”

“What about us?”

“The last league was popular in its own way, wasn’t it? Daisy unnie seemed to have no intention of changing too much…”

This is an ordinary conversation. Ordinary words she had heard from several years ago.

But now, a man was in the conversation.

“Huh, I’m nervous. How should I deal with Letiarius?”

“Kokkok… There is no answer. If there was an answer, would we be f*cking like this?”

“Well, that’s right.”

Gladiators used to gather with similar classes to mock other classes or discuss new rules.

“Still, it’s worth trying as long as you avoid the net. The spear is actually for containment… Considering your armor, it shouldn’t be too dangerous.”

“Hmm…”

But in the middle of such a peaceful, everyday conversation, a man was chatting together. With an innocent face.

“Still, the net has no real answers. You’d better think that once you’re tied up, you’ll never get out.”

“Is that enough?”

“Gladiators with even a little bit of skill are twisted and twisted… You’re still wearing your armor firmly. It won’t be easy.”

“Something seems surprisingly easy…”

The woman couldn’t bear to intervene in that conversation.

My body froze. Even in her sword fighting, the field she knew best, she couldn’t bear to speak with him confidently.

I was afraid of being rejected.

No matter how much he tried to think of it as no big deal, the moment her face came out in front of him, his expression seemed to turn displeased.

No, he won’t. Because Evan is a kind person.

I will just desperately hide my embarrassed expression, hide my embarrassed face, and force myself to smile.

That would not be a very pleasant situation for him. She wasn’t even in the situation she wanted.

“Were you waiting here? You abandoned the girl…”

Flourish blonde hair fluttering, Florence rushed at Evan.

“Adjust your speed. And, since you’re a gladiator anyway, you can talk comfortably.”

“That, that… Since then, it’s the daughter of an aristocratic family, so it sticks to me…”

“I don’t think so.”

Evan was suspicious of Florence with a strange expression, but there was still a smile on his lips.

Didn’t seem to like it. The woman shook her head thinking that this unrequited love was ridiculous.

“I’ve been curious since a long time ago, how the hell do you fix this?”

“Here’s the family secret. On the day Evan becomes a member of our family, there’s nothing I can’t tell you!”

It’s beautiful. Besides, he’s even a nobleman.

Sometimes I was relieved to realize that her actions were no different from those of other gladiators, but her fundamentals are different.

Gladiators have to make a lot of money, unless they have won the championship like Dana did.

Compared to the woman who ran the top of her aristocratic family, she was absurdly lacking.

However, just because she has money doesn’t mean she can rise to the same position as Florence.

Life is different. She comes from an aristocratic lineage, and since she was a child, she must have grown up seeing the good and the beautiful.

His tone is different. Education is different. Knowledge is different. There is so much she can do for Evan that an ordinary gladiator like her can do.

“It’s like that again, again. Florence. If you go to a noble family, why don’t you watch your body grow like a woman from an aristocratic family?”

Unknowingly, Dana intervened in the meeting.

Looking at her status as a gladiator, she was not a heterogeneous person like Florence.

However, their skills are different. She’s the champion of the League of Steel, and rumor has it that she also knows how to handle mana, she says.

No matter how much sword fighting is a game of the lower classes, she possesses abilities that are not inferior to those of her level.

In her past, there were times when she admired her. It was only recently that she became a champion, but she was the strongest and most capable gladiator among Sektor.

Besides, she had the courage to take risks and fight many thugs to save the man. As an ordinary female gladiator, she was in a position she could not follow.

‘It has to be at that level to be next to him…’

She knew it too. From her objective point of view, she knows that her current position, where she can see her face like everyday in a space so close to a man, is too much for her.

However, it was different from when the man was in a completely different world. Every time she looked at his face, she had to feel her own helplessness.

How insignificant an ordinary gladiator is.

“There are a lot of people at the training ground these days.”

There were far more gladiators than I thought at the Colosseum. I could only guess the number of them based on the size of the accommodation and the number of people entering and leaving the training ground.

“Because some people don’t live in the Colosseum when the season hasn’t started.”

“Why?”

“Some people live with their mother… Some people have found a separate house. After they have saved enough money, there is no reason to live in a group.”

“Hmm…”

Come to think of it, other gladiators besides me said that four people use one room.

I wanted to work under the same conditions as other gladiators as much as possible, but even so, I was not without special privileges.

Since we couldn’t even make a dormitory for male gladiators to live in, I think this much can’t be helped.

“You should be nervous too? The first opponent was caught.”

“Who is this time?”

“He’s a gladiator named Jerry… He’s just a common person. You’ve probably seen his face a few times.”

Dana had a subtle expression on her face and was trying to explain her Jerry out of her memory. However, she soon shook her head as if giving up.

“Let’s see… A normal Secutorne?”

“Yeah. Since the league has started, it’s a class you’ll be dealing with terribly.”

Before the event, Daisy decides who I will fight with.

However, the regular fights of real gladiators are different. Because you will have to fight an endless series of battles with normal and ordinary gladiators.

“I wouldn’t have been such a strong gladiator. I’d fought a few times… But it wasn’t a memorable name.”

“After…”

I was able to feel a little relieved. In the fight between Florence and Marie, the skill gap was too great.

After facing a woman named Jerry, you will be able to objectively gauge how good your skills are.

“Don’t push yourself too hard. You’re already strong enough… Actually, you don’t even need to be this strong.”

“I can’t even say this much is impossible.”

At this level, I had enough rest. I started training again.

“Don’t you want to go outside and play?”

“Right now… I don’t think I can concentrate because of the sword fighting. If you feel like you’re getting tired of this, then maybe I’ll think about it.”

Actually, sword fighting wasn’t that boring. Because it’s something I’ve never experienced before.

Every time I fight, it feels different, and I use my sharpened body and swordsmanship to face the opponent.

I don’t know if I’ll get tired of this one day, but at least that wasn’t the case now.

“In the first place, even if you go outside and play, there’s nothing to do, right?”

“Ugh… Sorry.”

She suddenly lowered her head.

“No, Dana, you’re not sorry.”

“But, if only I could have written to you a little longer… Florence wasn’t wrong either.”

“It’s not about money. Hey, no matter how much money you have, you can’t get a new, high-end graphics card, right?”

Dana was thinking about the meaning of my words with her eyes wide open.

“That’s… I’m sorry. I, Selam’s men, don’t know how to have fun…”

“If you look there, you won’t find it. Well, it’s natural.”

“Ah…”

“I used to play with stuff like that in my hometown. Well, it’s hard to look forward to now, though.”

I laughed as if it wasn’t a big deal, but Dana was suddenly determined with a serious expression.

“Someday, around the time I think I’ve fought enough as a gladiator… I’ll definitely look for it. Did they say ‘high-end graphics card’?”

“No, it’s impossible.”

When she was holding the sword, she was more serious than anyone else, but when she was stubborn like this, she was just a pure girl.

I tried to stop her a few times, but she eventually gave up on her and focused on my training for her.

Dana’s worried expression was also beautiful.
