Chapter 285 Chapter 285: The Answer from the Past part 1

Another chapter will be posted shortly after this, I have an exam in 3 days, so I wanted to post the bonuses in advance.

--------

Suthia's question was one Renji couldn't answer.

The only way to find all the answers was to continue exploring Nova's past story.

Renji soon re-entered the Gulase base arena, returning to the decision point that had emerged during the last "Evil Dragon Dream."

In this final match against Nova's mother, Renji intentionally lost to Noya, allowing Noya to become the champion gladiator of this edition of the arena.

Indeed, the dream didn't collapse as it had initially, and the story continued, proving this was the correct choice and a factual past event.

Whether it was the attention that came with being the champion, her extraordinary strength and unparalleled swordsmanship, or being the first female gladiator to win the championship, Noya accumulated a massive fanbase. The atmosphere at the venue peaked, and Renji felt that, in modern terms, Nova's mother definitely had a huge follower.

The arena officials were naturally overjoyed as if hit by a golden egg, knowing the arena's attendance would soar to new heights because of Noya's presence. Just the daily ticket sales could potentially double.

The officials also intentionally promoted Noya, pushing her popularity to a new level, holding a grand championship ceremony for her and offering a prize money several times higher than usual to motivate Noya and, in a way, to woo her.

Although most gladiators are slaves of the arena, as long as one has strong abilities, can make a name for themselves, and win the audience's love, like Noya with her massive popularity, the arena officials are not fools. Businesspeople prefer peace, and there was even an intention to please Nova's mother.

Seeing this, Renji could almost confirm that as long as Noya was willing to cooperate, she would basically have no worries for life, as long as the Gulase base existed. She and little Nova could live very well, very comfortably.

However, clearly, Noya chose another path, also what she had told Renji before, something she felt she must do.

Noya's goal in winning the championship wasn't for fame or prestige, nor the high prize money. Her real aim was to utilize a privilege that came with being the champion.

She could make a "within acceptable range" request to the organizers.

Usually, this champion reward seems very appealing but is practically just for show, as the range is determined by the organizers themselves. Many champions basically default to requesting double the prize money, which has become an unwritten rule.

But this time, Noya, upon taking the stage and under the watchful eyes of all the spectators and many gladiators below, broke this unwritten rule of making a wish. She made a strange request to the organizers.

"I wish to have a privilege that allows me to challenge any gladiator in the arena at any time, and those challenged by me cannot refuse."

The Dragonkin woman on the stage said this with a calm gaze.

Noya's request surprised everyone, including the organizers, who were a bit puzzled. Why would Noya waste such a precious opportunity on this?

From the organizer's perspective, they first thought that if Noya was willing to fight more matches, it would be great for the arena. They were secretly delighted and wouldn't dream of refusing.

Noya's request was quickly accepted. The organizers of the arena, who are also the behind-the-scenes higher-ups of the Gulase base, personally appeared in front of all the spectators to grant Noya this privilege, even seemingly afraid that Noya might change her mind.

After all, every additional match Noya fought was making them money. They wished Noya would challenge other gladiators every day.

They didn't understand why this seemingly friendly Dragonkin widow, who never fought to kill in past arena battles and even brought her daughter along, had suddenly become so belligerent.

The dream changed again to the day after Noya won the championship. That night, something happened among the gladiators. Noya, in her own name, issued a proposal to all gladiators.

Noya proposed that, from now on, gladiators should no longer use lethal force against their opponents.

When an opponent has already surrendered or lost the ability to fight, gladiators should no longer harm them just for the sake of causing injury.

Initially, not many gladiators paid attention to Noya's proposal, even finding it absurd and laughable, scoffing at it, even though Noya was the strongest in the arena and the champion of this edition.

After all, how many years of bloodshed had continued in the arena, and now Noya was delusively trying to change this environment? It was just a female gladiator's wishful thinking, typical of women to indulge in unrealistic fantasies.

Even the behind-the-scenes organizers of the arena didn't take it seriously, thinking Noya was using this as a way to package herself.

Until

At the end of that day's arena matches, after the audience had enjoyed several thrilling fights and were about to leave, Noya appeared, and her target was very clear.

Those gladiators who had not adhered to her "advocacy" today became the targets of Noya's challenges.

This move shocked everyone. No one expected that the privilege Noya had requested would be used in this way.

These gladiators were quickly gathered and forced to enter the arena again. Yes, Noya found challenging them one by one too troublesome, so she had them all enter together.

This battle royale, with the former female gladiator champion as the protagonist, instantly excited the spectators, prompting them to buy tickets and stay, with many starting to bet wildly.

The arena organizers realized Noya's intention, but faced with such popularity and increased revenue, plus having granted Noya such a privilege, they did not stop her.

The match ended in less than ten minutes, with only Noya left standing in the arena. All the other gladiators were killed by her, one by one. The scene was extremely bloody, with the corpses of seven or eight gladiators strewn around Noya, showing everyone for the first time the Dragonkin's murderous side.
