I already love this place

After a few hours of sleep and meditating in his soul Reggie shook his body and called him. Seeing him wake up Reggie said "Morning drunk yard, its food time."

Seeing up and stretching Dean said "Moooorning, ahh. Sorry about earlier, went a little out of control. I was at the arena, and it was incredible! We have to go another time, I actually made money there"

Confused Reggie said "Arena? Inst that the place that weird elf guy said it was dangerous?"

Dean said "Yes, but is not really dangerous unless you are fighting there, and there is punishment for intentional killing in the arena unless its a battle to the death, but Tony said they rarely happen. Anyway, you have to see the battles in there, they make hunter battles look like a pile of garbage".

Interested Reggie asked "Are they that good?"

Dean said "They are amazing! Especially the ones in the spirit rank, and the insight you gain from watching it is just the cherry on top."

Eva who was at the door waiting for Dean to finish to talk said "Hey, you two are going to eat?"

Dean said "Yeah lets go eat" and got up from his bed.

Joining Mary, who was waiting at the corridor, the four started going down stairs. In their way Reggie said "Tell me more about this fights"

Mary asked "Fights? What fights?"

Dean said all excited "The fights! The amazing fights at the arena. They are in incredible, there was one fight between a brute looking guy with a axe and a wicked looking lady.

The guy summoned a big tree monster, while the lady summoned a crow made of black smoke. You could feel the might of the guys axe from afar, each swing of the guy axe could cut a tank A rank hunter even if defended perfectly.

I can't even describe how amazing it was, the coordination between the summon and the master where incredible. The lady could use the crown to do spell, like you never knew where she would attack with the spell.

Oh, I talked with Tony, she has a private booth for a fight between a guy at the rank 156 and a guy at the rank 162 that is going to happen tonight. This is fight should be epic, its also very important for you guys especially."

Reggie asked "Who is this Tony? Is he a guy or a girl?".

Dean said "She an inner sect disciple I met there, and she is a girl, her father really wanted a boy so he raised her as one. Its a long story, she insist on telling to everyone she likes, she will probably like you guys so I will let her tell you".

Mary then asked "Huh, why is this fight important to us? If possible I would like to be as far away as possible from this arena, the elder who brought me here said killing in the arena is allowed, I prefer staying alive".

Showing their room keys to the guys taking care of the food, each of them got a simple tray with food, with some rice, a beef and some salad. Dean said as they walked to the table "There's only three ways to become an inner disciple, first become number one in the under fifties ranks, and stay there until the five years examination, you become an inner disciple automatically.

Second be one of the two hundreds in the under fifties ranks, then you can challenge an inner disciple. you don't need to win, just prove your skills to the elders watching.

Third become a spirit rank master at one of the crafts, which are weapons or armors smith, alchemists and artifact smiths. There is actually a fourth, but is reaching the soul emperor rank before the fifties, which hasn't happened in thousands of years.

Unless you guys start learning a craft, and really even if you do, you guys should start watching some fights at the arena, beside its really fun and you can earn money".

Reggie said "Are you saying is good for me to watch fights? Man what a wonderful place. Is this friend of yours okay if we go?"

Dean said "Yeah, I asked her yesterday. She is pretty down to earth, the only problem is Janet, when I asked if it was okay to bring you guys she says she doesn't hang out with talentless losers.

Fuck, fuck, Fuck! now that I think about this they must have already known about me. My secret is not really much of a secret anymore".

Mary the only one who was confused about everything asked "What are you talking about? What secret?"

Dean said "Not much of a point in hiding it now, basically I am a super genius and blah blah blah. I asked a guy, who asked the patriarch, to keep it a secret, but it spread to theclans. now the receptionists at the alchemist guild, probably most of the inner disciples and who know who else know about this".

Mary asked "Is it really a that big of a deal? They called me a genius and gave me nothing" Reggie and Eva shaking their head to her remark.

Dean shook his head and said "If they called you a true genius them you would be surrounded by people wanting a piece of you".

Mary asked "What is a true genius?"

Dean swallowed the food on his mouth and said "So you know is the normal elements Fire, water, earth, wind, the more uncommon, dark, light and wood, and there the ones I only heard in books, space and time. But then a few days ago they told me about higher versions of those elements.

If you are above 90% affinity in one of those elements you have a good chance to have affinity to one of those high elements. That is a true genius."

Finishing the food on her plate Mary asked "So you are a true genius?"

Dean said "You can say I am technically a genius even for a true genius. If wasn't for the patriarch help there would be a bunch of ass-lickers bothering me right now.

Anyway do you guys want to go out? I am going to buy a phone".

Eva asked "What happened with yours?"

Confused Dean said "It went out of charge, dint you guys phones ran out of charge too?"
