Chapter 332: The Fairies Recon
Hours seemed to stretch endlessly as Ty lay on his cell bed, gazing up at the ceiling. Reaching into his pockets, he searched for the fairy, only to find she was no longer there. "When did she leave?" he sighed, a sense of loneliness briefly washing over him. With nothing else to occupy his mind, he let his eyes close, gradually drifting off to sleep under the cold, hard gaze of the prison ceiling.

Meanwhile, the fairy zipped through the night sky, fueled by a determination to prove her worth. "I will show I can be useful!" she declared to herself, the wind whipping past her as she flew.
The recent encounter with the tall, intimidating man lingered in her mind. "The tall guy mentioned luck and even tried to kill me! He's gotta be a bad guy for sure!" she reasoned, convinced that following him would uncover valuable information she could bring back to Ty.
As she trailed Gui from a safe distance, her thoughts wandered. "Why are all these girls throwing themselves at him?" she pondered with a mix of curiosity and disdain. "I bet they wouldn't accept him as a skeleton like Nana did. Hmpf!"
As she flew overhead, the fairy observed Gui continuing on his path until he made a left turn, heading towards an unusual line of rectangular buildings that were both small and wide.
Her curiosity piqued as she saw the grass beneath him transition to a solid surface, and she watched in amazement as he seemingly used his hand to levitate the door open. "Gasp, he can levitate objects like doors?!" she whispered to herself, astounded by what appeared to be a display of magical power.
Hovering closer, but still maintaining a safe distance, she was suddenly startled by a loud roar emanating from inside the building.
"How can a monster be so loud and fit in such a small space?" she thought, baffled by the noise that seemed too large for its surroundings.
Then, to her utter shock, the "creature" shot out of the entrance, spinning in a circle before speeding off into the distance, far away from her. The door then began to close slowly behind it. "Wo-Woah, it has wheels like the car thingy Ty was riding in, but it's so much faster!" she realized, her initial fear giving way to fascination.
Before she knew it, he had disappeared into the distance, leaving her to ponder if she should follow or not. Concerned she might lose her way back, she hesitated.
Sighing, she redirected her attention and noticed a massive white dome building looming in the distance.
"Oh, this must be where Ty was showing off what he could do. I wonder what everyone else is up to right now," she mused, her curiosity piqued.
Her flight took her closer to the dome, and as she surveyed it from above, a mix of concern and affection for her companions surfaced.
"I sure hope Nana and that ugly green guy are okay," she reflected, "though they seem to be able to take care of themselves." Approaching the top of the dome, she noticed it was perforated with small holes, making it easier for her to slip inside.
Descending through the openings, she found herself observing a line of people wearing blue vests. They were engaged in conversation, each wearing a badge with numbers ranging from 47-60. Intrigued by this new environment and the assembly of people, she hovered closer
As she hovered quietly, the fairy overheard a conversation among a group clad in blue vests, each adorned with badges numbered from 47 to 60. Their discussion unfolded with a mix of anticipation and disdain for the upcoming event.
"Those disgusting prisoners, above all else, we have to make sure most of them die as possible," one of them, a man's voice, declared with a chilling indifference.
A woman's voice countered, skepticism in her tone, "Yeah, right, Regi. You're just trying to get sponsor attention by killing popular kill targets, aren't you?"
Regi, with a casual shrug, responded, "Well, it is possible that would be nice as well. But I've been dying to get my sword bathed in blood and the smell of embers in my nose. Besides, it's not like we're at too much risk. We can just quit at any time if we want. But they don't know that because they fight till they die."
The woman raised a valid concern, her voice laced with a hint of caution, "Well, yeah, but we are still risking our lives regardless. If any of them were strong enough to kill us... Besides, what will you do if a prisoner is on your team of 50?"
Regi's confidence bordered on arrogance as he dismissed the concern about the prisoners. "Maybe you are weak enough to fall to someone the great Titan goddess deemed worthless, but not me. My skills are top-notch, and I can go toe to toe with anyone in this kingdom and probably the world overall."
His ambitions were clear, "Once I finish mastering my second skill, I will rise above everyone else and get my wish from the king."
He conceded, though with a plan, "Even if I'm not strong enough this go-around, I'll just quit, get stronger, and return another year. Maybe when a damn Demon didn't spawn out of nowhere."
The woman, still wary, admitted her own fears, "Yeah, that does have me concerned as well. Almost makes me want to quit on the spot, but that's mostly treason. We have to at least try to put a show on."
Regi, scheming, suggested a ruthless strategy, "Yeah, I think our best bet with him, regardless, is to jump him as soon as possible and just kill him off before anything else. Even in this 50 on 50, I don't care if I'm teamed up with him. I will earn more praise for making a tough decision like that than to work with a cursed demon."
As the fairy gasped at the sound of this one of them looked up and stated what's that blue thing floating?
The fairy gasped as she sped off toward the ceiling again and out of the dome speeding back towards Ty content on letting him know what she learned.
