Clearing The Table (1)

With slot cards, the three stepped into a noisy dark hall. They manoeuvred through the cheering crowd towards the front, where they could finally see those fighting.

The platform below shook, drawing the eyes of the three to those fighting.

"An arena." Ku Jian said.

"This level of excitement can't be from the love of battle alone. There must be bets running." Nti Anem said.

"Where can I buy? I bet on brother Ed!" Ku Jian said and someone beside her scoffed.

"Newcomers, I see." the man said.

"What? My brother Ed can beat anyone." Ku Jian argued and the man laughed.

"Little girl, look up. You see that plate over there? That is the top ten ranking. To reach that state, you must be undefeated." he said. Ku Jian and the rest looked towards the bronze plate the man had mentioned and saw names.

"If they are all undefeated, how does it decide who is number one?" Nti Anem asked.
