— It depends on how you look at it. Thanks to my youth spent first in the wild outskirts of Pilas and then in this arena when it was first built, I was lucky enough to gain rich experience and develop the qualities that every warrior needs. But I'm not so vain as to think I'm head and shoulders above the rest. And that was Landegar Neihing, one of the most successful warriors in the arena. Today, for certain reasons, he is retiring. I think I will follow his example.
It's amazing how a person who spent his entire life in the forest grew up to be so strong and skilled. Hmm, that is, not "entire life," of course, it's really not easy for a child to survive alone among beasts and monsters, but at least no one forced him to specifically attack opponents who brought death with them. And yet, Eric clearly went through this part of the lesson as well. And he clearly did better than Mirna. Probably because from the very beginning he tried to win, not just survive.
— I hoped that you would still be the champion of this arena when I could fight you. But if you think you are needed elsewhere, then that's probably the right thing to do... — she said after a pause. — Eric, I have an important question for you. How can I get Lex into Lower Pilas? You saw that they simply wouldn't let him into Upper Pilas, and he would give an arm and a leg for such a place... He dreams of learning magic, and he has all the makings for it.
