067 – Staged?

Darrion slapped himself on the cheek to wake himself up. He looked around him to adjust his eyes as he walked to the center of the arena.

In his fight with Oki, his head had hit the fountain’s hard marble a few times. Oki had no idea he almost killed Darrion when he submerged the blonde a few times there. Luckily, he reacted in time. But the pain was still throbbing that he let himself pass out on the stretcher when the guard brought him out. 

He had thought he might've possibly inflicted with brain damage, but he was glad when Nurse Lin said he only had a concussion.

‘At least that’s better than dying,’ the blonde said to the nurse, which earned him a slap on the shoulder from the said nurse. He thanked the Ventusien for making his mother return late to the tent. She could flip him if she heard him say something like that.

Darrion suddenly flinched as he heard a yell. His attention returned to the arena at once.
