Chapter 159: My Guy, I Just Met YouI spent some time with Raon getting healed. Potions wouldn''t work on some of the wounds inflicted on each other. For example, the burns on my arms or the external damage I did to him with |Vortex Arts|.

    ("I only meant to break his gauntlets with that though.") [Solace]

    His skin was torn on his arms, like a chainsaw just decided to plow through. Well, we were still getting healed by specialists though.

    "Please try raising your arm." [Healer]

    A man in a white and gold robe was the one attending to me. He would cast |Small Cure| in certain locations to slowly put me back together.

    "Your magic is making me feel a bit itchy." [Solace]

    "That''s normal. The regeneration makes your body lose the damaged parts of your skin. You can call it dead skin." [Healer]

    "Huh. That''s cool." [Solace]

    Never thought they would be able to see this from a scientific standpoint.

    "Be sure not to scratch until I fully heal you. It may interfere with the healing process." [Healer]

    "Kay." [Solace]

    The healer gave me a strange look at my reply, but decided not to say anything. Instead, he just raised his hand and used his skills.

    "Alert: You have acquired |Small Cure|." [Spirit Guide]

    ("Oh? Finally, a healing skill.") [Solace]

    As I waited patiently, Raon''s eyes met mine. We sat across from each other while he was waited upon by a pretty female healer. ...Not that I was jealous or anything.

    "...What''re you looking at?" [Raon]

    "You." [Solace]

    Raon seemed surprised by my reply.

    "Are you picking a fight?" [Raon]

    "We already fought. Also, I won." [Solace]

    The two healers glanced at each other nervously.

    "Purely luck." [Raon]

    "They say luck is a skill." [Solace]

    "...No one says that." [Raon]

    Even now I forget that I live in another world. Some sayings just don''t transfer over.

    "How''s your arm?" [Raon]

    "Better than yours." [Solace]

    "Oh yeah?" [Raon]

    His eyes passed over my burnt arm. Not gonna lie, it wasn''t very pretty.

    "Hey, at least I have one arm left. How about yours?" [Solace]

    Both of his arms were shredded, a result from |Vortex Arts|.

    "I can still move them. Can you still move yours?" [Raon]

    "One arm is more than enough to deal with you." [Solace]

    We both sat up straight, causing our respective healers to start panicking.

    "..." [Solace] [Raon]

    As we stared at each, we burst out laughing.

    "You''re funny." [Solace]

    "You''re not too bad yourself." [Raon]

    The healers looked confused. Well, it must be kind of weird for others to see us getting along after arguing.

    "What''s your full name?" [Raon]

    "Alt. Alt Account. Yours?" [Solace] Sёar?h the N?velFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    I knew his full name. I just asked out of courtesy.

    "Raon Parthenos. I''ve never heard of the house "Account". What nobility rank do you have?" [Raon]

    "I''m a commoner." [Solace]

    Raon raised a brow.

    "Impossible. Only nobles have last names. If you do not wish to divulge your rank, then so be it." [Raon]

    That was an interesting fact I just learned. Since Master asked me to come up with a last name, I assumed everyone had one.

    "In any case, you are a formidable warrior." [Raon]

    "Thanks. You too." [Solace]

    Raon smiled.

    "Yes. Formidable enough to become my rival." [Raon]

    "...Your rival." [Solace]

    That was weird. I literally just met the guy and now I''m his rival.

    "I have never met anyone around my age capable of besting me. You are worthy." [Raon]

    "Oh. Thanks, I guess." [Solace]

    I should introduce him to Leyhna or Leon. He''ll probably get whooped.

    _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

    We chatted for a while until our wounds fully healed. Raon handed me a pendant and told me that it''ll allow me to visit his abode without being attacked. ...Whatever that means. Anyways, I was called up for the last match.

    "Alt Account, Leon Soh. Please come forward." [Uniformed Man]

    ("Leon Soh?") [Solace]

    As I stood up, I saw Leon appear from thin air.

    "Leon?!" [Solace]

    She looked at me with that indifferent look as usual.

    "Yes?" [Leon]

    "Wh... Why are you here?" [Solace]

    She opened her mouth to answer, but the uniformed man pressed us to follow him. Moments later, I found myself in the arena facing Leon.

    "You may begin." [Wilharrow]
