Aries could be seen walking toward the place where he had left Slvy and Thales earlier. Now, they were also back there, and many other warriors could be seen gathered around the area, lining the space with their presence.
Aries looked around at the number of warriors crowding the place, then turned to Slvy and asked, "Why are they this many? Am I fighting all of them?"
"No," Slvy answered simply.
"So?" Aries pressed.
"Since you were recommended by the king, they're all just interested in seeing you fight. Also, the fighters will be chosen randomly, so we need as many warriors as possible who are currently free," Slvy explained.
"Oh… I see," Aries muttered under his breath.
Then Slvy looked toward the gathered warriors. He raised his hand up and brought it back down, and a clear line instantly formed on the floor. He turned back to Aries and said, "For you and your opponent, you both need to stay within this line."
