Mixed Blessing System

Sometime later, the Trapka family entourage was arriving at the Coliseum for the second day of trials but was suddenly surprised in the vicinity of that place.

There, the Becker family entourage stopped at the intersection where the Trapka family group was about to pass, placing their carriages in a formation that prevented free movement on that avenue.

Noticing the problem, the people from the Trapka family soon started sticking their heads out of the windows of their carriages. At the same time, the pedestrians on the sidewalks watched everything with interest.

"Hey! What do you people think you're doing?"

"Idiots! Get out of the way! Can't you see we're going to the Coliseum?" The servants driving those carriages shouted similar things while holding the horses so that accidents would not occur.

The leader of that organization, who was in one of the carriages, then decided to get out to see what was happening. But as he did so, the voice of Gomeric and other members of the Becker family reached his ears.

"Ewald, we have some business to debate, don't we? One of your men ordered the death of a servant of my family!" Elke's father shouted while standing in front of his carriage that was 50 meters ahead of the Trapka patriarch.

Just then, another important person from that family shouted. "Hand over Magnus to us if you don't want trouble!"

"You people are bold to act against our family!"

"What? What are you talking about?" The people in those carriages shouted in surprise, trying to understand what this was all about.

But judging by the tones in the voices of the people of the Becker family, even those who knew nothing about what Magnus' subordinate had done realized the seriousness of the problem.

As the patriarch Trakpa looked in the direction of Gomeric and Hilda, he left his carriage, clenching his fists in frustration. 'Damn you, Magnus!'

'Your subordinate made a shit of acting against these people's daughter, and you still allowed this information to get to them!'

He then said. "Gomeric, I don't know what this is about. Magnus? Who is Magnus? Many people have that name in Reinhard or my family..."

"Tsk!"

"It's no use you playing dumb. We know that this person is part of your organization, Ewald." Hilda said.

After Elke had passed Lothur's message to them the night before, this family had pieced together the information from their investigations so far with what their spies realized after watching this family's group for a night.

Because of this, they found out who the person had been who had approached Lothur days ago, the person responsible for the murder of the coachman of Elke and Lothur's carriage on the trip to Lewerenz.

Since they already knew the level of such a person by associating it with what they knew about the Trapka family, it was easy to find Magnus' name.

And so, they were ready to demand that such a family hand this person over to them or take the matter to a new level!

Magnus, who was in one of those carriages, trembled when he heard those words, cursing Lothur. 'That wretch! He has tricked me for the second time, and now he has brought these people to me!' He looked from one side of his carriage to the other, trying to find a way out.

Meanwhile, local guards approached that area on their beasts, birds with two long legs, long necks, and very fast.

"Hey, what's going on here?" One of the guards asked in Gomeric's direction.

The other said. "Patriarch Becker, it doesn't matter what the problem is between you. Your group cannot block the avenue like this. That will disrupt everyone's lives!"

Tension rose in the surroundings, with the nearby civilians focused on what was happening there, afraid of a battle but also curious.

However, unlike what some expected, nothing significant occurred there.

"Very well, patriarch Trapka. Don't complain later!" Gomeric aggressively adjusted his clothes just before he got into his carriage, signaling his group to depart.

Seeing that, Ewald pressed his teeth together, sensing that trouble was approaching them and looked toward Magnus' carriage.

'I hope these people don't take it too far, or...'

...

Hours later, most of the day's competitions had passed, with the sunset beautifying the outskirts of Peters City.

As predicted by Lothur and his women, he had faced a calmer second day without many difficult opponents to deal with after a tough first day of competition.

But this was to be expected. After all, 'high' level individuals had been eliminated by him yesterday, and the families that had talented youngsters competing did not force their encounter with Lothur.

They had to secure points for their houses, so for the time being, only luck had decided the matches on this second day.

Because of this, instead of competing against people at the end of the 1st stage, Lothur met several opponents who were only at the middle part of this stage.

Thus, as the sun set on the horizon, he won his third match this day, securing another point for the Frost family.

On this second day of trials, each competitor was only competing in one match in their respective professions. The matches had three competitors, and only one could win.

Because of this, the number of matches on this day was smaller, and by late afternoon, all the matches for spiritual professions were over, and it was almost time for the fights.

But not only had Lothur performed well so far, but Annaliese and Viktoria also won their matches.

Due to this, the Frost family's position had risen once again, as their score reached 37, the same as House Sitz's.

Thus, the competition was approaching its most important moments, with the elimination of most of the weaker candidates.

In any case, Lothur was focused on following his plans, having again had a hot afternoon with Annaliese and then trained with Rebecca after one of his poison masters' trials.

That had given him a few attribute points, only slightly above what he had already received from training with her the day before.

Since this second day had only half as many battles as the first day, Lothur found time between his matches to study medicine and train his professions.

At the moment, he needed theoretical knowledge about each of them to achieve the 2-star rank. So it was easier for him to do this before following Annaliese to meet Elke and Viktoria.

He had not had time to go out with Elke the night before, but she already knew why. So he intended to resolve this after his individual fight, before the group battle he would have this day.

But considering that his battles today were more straightforward than the previous day's, he was not too worried, just focused on finishing as quickly as possible to get on with his plans!

And so, it did not take long for him and the twins to climb the leading battle platform of this Coliseum to fight!
