I want to challenge you

**Present**

Eros leaned closer to the little girl and gently pulled her from the ground. He then ruffled her jet black long hair and said, "It's ok. Now get up." 

"Thanks, M-M'lord," thanked the girl and immediately left for fear of her life getting in trouble again. Murmurs occupied the entire hall as they wondered how gentle he was. Most people knew that magicians from the higher rank are quite evil and cruel thus they never expected such an act from them. 

Meanwhile, Hylie and Rolam saw Eros heading towards the battle podium and immediately knew that he was up to no good. They had to prepare for the upcoming events. Everyone saw that he aimed for the fighting podium and as he pushed his way through the crowd, he felt the various pairs of eyes stare at him with different looks. He stared between the two guys, Hylie and Rolam. 

He finally pointed at Rolam and said, "I want to challenge you!"
