Cressi's Stubbornness

The Knight who was said to be summoned from afar ultimately did not arrive in Boneyard.

“I had hoped to meet them. It’s a shame.”

“Given the distance, we didn’t have high expectations, Sir Eugene. For now, more than that...”

Panis looked at Cressi with a troubled expression. This was because Cressi had stubbornly insisted on entering the Duel Arena, despite there being stronger Invited Knights available.

If it’s the Disciple of the Knight of Prophecy and Karas, I won’t even need to step up. If things go south, I can just surrender appropriately.

This was Cressi’s thought. Simply appearing in the Duel Arena changed the amount of money he would receive.

Anyway, if those two Knights lose and it comes down to me, it’ll be the same even if other guys from the city go out there.

It was an excuse for self-consolation, but the frustrating part was that it wasn't entirely wrong.

Regardless of skill, if a Knight insisted on fighting honorably, the host couldn't very well tell him to back down.

“Welcome, everyone! I hope your preparations went well.”...
