The Phantom Fencer

On the third day of the preliminary for the Imperial Battle Tournament, Erik was scheduled to have two matches for the day. One in the morning and the other in the afternoon. After having his breakfast, he then headed straight to the camp to get himself prepared. 

Yesterday, Erik had an intense fight with Tina, and the match ended with his win. Their fight inflicted severe damages on her. Erik was feeling responsible for it, so he had been monitoring her condition from a distance and was ready to provide her treatment if necessary. It would leave a bad aftertaste on his tongue if she did not make it alive. 

Leaving her aside, Erik was currently strolling around the camp, and he was kind of delighted to see his name in some of the small-time betting boots. More and more people must have recognized his strength after his fight yesterday.
