Mr. Ethan, congratulations on becoming the host of our Sky Arena. This is the badge that represents the host's identity..."

"Thanks!"

When a new host is crowned, the Sky Arena naturally takes the opportunity to promote it well.

In a conference room of Sky Arena, many reporters gathered together. Under the light of the cameras, the Sky Arena, represented by Cheryl, enthusiastically shook hands with Ethan and handed over the badge certificate representing the host to Ethan.

"Ding dong~ Congratulations on quickly completing the [Host] achievement and receiving rewards: [Weapon Fruit], [Dragon Elephant Body Tempering Pill], and [Great Fire Extinguishing]!"

As the host's authentication was officially granted, the system's notification tone immediately sounded in Ethan's mind.

Is the achievement complete?"

Ethan felt a surge of exhilaration, but because there were still matters to handle, he resisted the urge to check it in detail.

Becoming a host not only brings fame but also many hidden benefits.

This is part of Sky Arena's strategy to attract more participants in the competition.

Otherwise, reputation alone wouldn't be enough to develop the Sky Arena into the fighting mecca it is today.

These implicit benefits include a share of Sky Arena's revenue from ticket sales and betting.

Although this share ratio isn't high, the base is large enough, so as long as you remain the host, you won't have to worry about money and can easily become wealthy.

After a lot of busy work, it took half a day before Ethan left the Sky Arena.

Naturally, Lisa and Mia accompanied him.

They didn't leave after the game but waited outside for Ethan to come out.

"Is this the host's badge..."

After returning to the martial arts gym, the three of them went to the living room of their home and sat down. Mia admired the host badge in her hands with great fondness.

The people who establish a martial arts gym here are often eager to earn a host badge.

Mia's father was like this.

Now that Ethan has obtained the host badge, it is equivalent to fulfilling her father's last wish, so Mia naturally values it greatly.

"What reward did you get this time?" Lisa was more curious about the rewards than Mia.

After becoming the host, Ethan had mentioned to the two women that this was a task issued by his 'Nen,' so now that he has become the host, Lisa knew there would be rewards.

"Don't worry, let me check it out!" Ethan smiled, and then began to carefully review the rewards obtained this time.

[Weapon Fruit]: A Paramecia-type Devil Fruit from a certain world. After being consumed, it allows the user to transform into various weapons freely (after system enhancement, defects have been eliminated, and it is in a perfect state)!

[Dragon Elephant Body Tempering Pill]: A body-tempering treasure pill from a certain world. Taking it grants a thousand years of experience!

[Great Fire Extinguishing]: A ninjutsu from a certain world, which through special seals, can produce massive waves of fire (after system enhancement, it has been assimilated into the host's power system)!

Like the previously completed main achievements, becoming the host also provided three types of rewards this time.

"[Weapon Fruit] and [Great Fire Extinguishing]..." Ethan pondered.

Of course, the [Dragon Elephant Body Tempering Pill] needed no further explanation. He had already experienced it, and it was definitely a treasure that could enhance the body.

Therefore, Ethan's attention was focused on the newly appeared [Weapon Fruit] and [Great Fire Extinguishing].

Especially the [Weapon Fruit].

After thinking about it, Ethan retrieved the [Weapon Fruit]. When it appeared in the [Storage Space], he took it out directly and held it in his hand.

Seeing a fruit with a strange pattern suddenly appear in Ethan's hand, both Lisa and Mia couldn't help but look at it.

"What kind of fruit is this?"

"Is this the reward this time?"

Mia and Lisa asked curiously.

"This is one of the rewards, called the Weapon Fruit. After eating it..." Ethan briefly described the effect of the Weapon Fruit.

Then he looked at the two women and said: "I need to use the other two rewards myself, so I can only offer you this reward. You two can decide who uses it."

Ethan intended to help the two women grow together, but not to an excessive degree. After all, he himself also needed to use the system's rewards to make himself stronger.

He already had the String Fruit.

Although the system's enhancements would not affect the consumption of a second Devil Fruit.

However, since the String Fruit hadn't been developed to its fullest potential, and he needed to manage his resources carefully, he decided the Weapon Fruit would be more suitable for the two women.

Lisa and Mia were naturally not dissatisfied with Ethan keeping the other two rewards.

The reward came from Ethan. No matter how it was distributed, it all depended on Ethan.

On this point, the two women certainly wouldn't make any mistakes.

"Given the effect of this fruit, then let's give it to Lisa. She is more suited to it than I am."

After learning about the effect of the Weapon Fruit, Mia didn't hesitate and immediately handed the Weapon Fruit to Lisa.

Indeed, the Weapon Fruit matched Lisa's Nen abilities quite well.

Her [Fatal Bullet], to enhance the power of the Nen bullet, had restrictions and oaths that required weapons to be used.

Moreover, her Nen's foundation was telekinesis, so it didn't have to be a physical weapon, but simply a physical firearm.

After eating the Weapon Fruit, Lisa could transform her body into various weapons. This ability was absolutely perfect when paired with her [Fatal Bullet].

"Then I'm not going to be shy!"

Much like Ethan had directly stated that there were three types of rewards without hiding it, with the close relationship between the three of them, there was no need for any false politeness.

Lisa happily accepted the Weapon Fruit from Ethan and began eating it.

"Hmm... it tastes good!"

Like the String Fruit, the taste of the improved Weapon Fruit also experienced extreme changes, which made Lisa praise it.

Of course, the most important thing was the ability gained after eating the Weapon Fruit.

After consuming the Weapon Fruit, Lisa had a thoughtful look on her face, then looked down at her right hand.

(I've seen comments where some people are critical of how the characters interact, saying, "Is it too excessive? Isn't it hard to distinguish between being nice to your own partner and being overly indulgent?"

I don't know if those who are critical are simply following others' opinions or deliberately causing trouble.

But it should be addressed with moderation.

At least express an opinion after reading.

Don't speak without even looking at it or considering it!).
