I Just want a Peaceful life

As soon as her foot broke under Anna's grip, "Arrghh!!" screamed Ice Maiden.

Without wasting any moment, Anna slams the Ice Maiden on the ground.

*BAM* Ice Maiden's head hit the hard ground and cracked her masked face revealed a beautiful woman with a broken nose.

Just as she wants to scream in pain, Anna slams her again to the opposite ground. This time her beautiful face was completely ruined as it directly hit the ground. At the same time, she also loses consciousness.

Just as Anna wants to slam Ice Maiden again, "Alright, that's enough, little girl." as suddenly a big hairy man grabs Anna's small hand.

"Ehh... Do you want also burst this weak blue bubble?" asked Anna innocently while losing her grip over Ice Maiden's foot.

"Weak blue bubble?" Asked the bulky man as he released Anna's hand.

"Yeah, you just need to slam this weak blue bubble a few times, and it will burst." said Anna.

Before the man could respond to Anna's weird sentence, "Anna, that's enough." said Angus as he suddenly appeared in the arena.

"Ahh… Angus!!" said Anna while running towards Angus and hugging him.

"Angus.. Angus.. I found a pretty rock, but before I took it, the weak blue bubble came out and forced me to give it to her. The weak green bubble also got hurt by the weak blue bubble while protecting me."

"After that, The other bubbles told Anna about this tournament. The weak blue bubble said something about giving the pretty rock to me if I could win in the battle. Since it seems interesting, Anna decides to play along with the weak blue bubble." explained Anna.

"Err.. Alright.. I get the gist of it. So, where is this pretty rock?" asked Angus.

Before Anna could respond, "Ohhh.. It seems the match is over. Since it is being interrupted by the blue side, the winner is Bubble Destroyer." said the announcer.

"WOOO!!" cheers the audience.

At the same time, "Sorry to interrupt you, I am not sure what business you got with each other. But, please finish your business in another place. We need to repair the arena as soon as possible for the next fight." said one of the employees.

"Alright, let's get out of here first." said the burly man while leaving the Ice Maiden to the medical team.

Even though killing is prohibited, many injuries still happen in fights, like in Anna's case. As a result, there is some medical team standby ready to treat the contestant anytime. 

They are not free but also not as expensive as in the Battlefield Arena. The medical team will charge according to the degree of the wound and the medication process.

Hearing the employee, Angus decides to leave the arena and finish their business outside. Along the way, they meet Jayna, who immediately hugs the cute Anna. Seeing this, the man couldn't help but be intrigued by Angus and the others' relation to Anna.

After leaving the arena, "Alright, kid. Let's talk here." said the burly man.

"Okay, so did you still want the pretty rock, Mr...?" asked Angus.

"Hayden. You could call me Hayden. Yes, if possible could you return the stone?" said Hayden.

"Anna, did you still have the pretty rock?" asked Angus to Anna.

"Emm… no, Anna doesn't have it." replied Anna.

"Kid, stop playing around. That stone is precious. I could still feel that stone in you." said Hayden.

"Hmph… Anna doesn't have it. Anna already ate it. Anna knows the pretty rock is delicious. But, Anna doesn't have any leftovers to share anymore." said Anna innocently.

"YOU EAT IT??!!" exclaimed Hayden.

"Pftt… Hahahaha…" As Angus and Jayna couldn't help but laugh at the current situation.

"Don't laugh!! Spit it out, kid!!" said Hayden as he approached Anna.

But, Angus intercepts Hayden and stands in front of Anna.

"Old man, what are you going to do?" said Angus coldly.

"Kid, you don't know anything about that stone. It is not only precious but also a dangerous substance." said Hayden.

"So?? What are you going to do?" asked Angus.

"Of course, force her to spit it out." said Hayden.

"That's impossible. Old man, let me tell you something. Anna is quite a special kid. Anything that entered her stomach could never be spitted out." replied Angus.

"Kid, do you know what that stone is? It is Sublime Zero, the coldest substance in the world. Right now, it is in a sealed state. Once the seal is gone, it could freeze the entire Porros instantly."

"Normally, the seal is very strong and couldn't be cracked even from the seventh combatant's full-power attack. But, Who knows what will happen under the stomach of a monster kid like her." said Hayden.

"Hm.. That's really troublesome. Anna, what do you feel after eating the stone?" said Angus.

"Emm.. Anna feels kind of chilly in the tummy. It's kind of refreshing and cool." replied Anna.

"I see.. Hold on, let me check you." said Angus as he touched Anna's stomach with his hand.

After a while, "Whoaa.. You are not kidding, that thing is very cold." exclaimed Angus.

"Alright, old man. I have already checked the situation. It seems Anna somehow absorbed that Sublime thing slowly, and it is already impossible to extract it through normal means." said Angus.

'No wonder, her physical power increased a lot during the fight.' thought Angus.

Hearing Angus replied, "Absorb it?!! You are kidding, right?" said Hayden.

Angus only shrugged his shoulders in reply, which made Hayden give a long sigh.

"Fine. In that case. Why don't you give me compensation?" said Hayden.

"Hold on, Why should I?" asked Angus.

"Well, that sublime zero belongs to my student. So, you need to compensate me because that little monster eats it." said Hayden.

"Nope, According to Anna's story, she found that Sublime thing. So, technically it is not yours or your student." said Angus.

"Hahaha.. Kid, you actually believe that little monster." said Hayden.

"Anna is not lying. Anna really found the pretty stone on the ground." said Anna.

"See, you hear it yourself, and of course, I trust her. I will always trust Anna." said Angus.

"Kid, you are making this hard for yourself. Did you really want to protect that little monster so much, huh?" said Hayden glaring at Angus.

"Old man.. You.." said Angus as he knew that the old man in front of him was not an ordinary person.

After being silent for a while, "Old man, if I am not sure what you mean by saying that. But, if you hurt Anna, even if it is only a single hair, I will make sure you are going through hell. I may not do anything to you. But, who knows about your student." said Angus coldly.

"Hahaha… Kid, are you threatening me?" asked Hayden.

"Who knows? I can't predict the future. Not a fortune teller. I just give you some advice." said Angus.

"Good.. You have a gut, kid. Just don't let me see you outside Porros." said Hayden before disappearing from the spot.

After Hayden left, "Angus, is this alright?" said Jayna.

"Don't worry about it. He can't do anything here." replied Angus.

"Emm.. Angus, is Anna doing a bad thing?" asked Anna.

"Hahaha.. Are you feeling bad now?" replied Angus playfully.

"But.. But.. Angus got in trouble because of Anna." said Anna while feeling down.

"Anna, I may hate troublesome situations like this. But that doesn't mean we will never get into trouble. As long as we live, we will always get into trouble. What we can do is just alleviate and avoid some unnecessary trouble."

"However, in the face of trouble, you should never back down and run away. You should stand up and fight with all you have. It may be hard, but in the end, you will experience many wonderful things, be it sadness or happiness." said Angus.

Hearing this, Anna became more cheerful. Although Anna couldn't understand half of Angus's sentence, she feels to never back down from the problem even if it is hard. Realizing this somehow makes something inside Anna more excited.

Jayna, who heard this from the side, couldn't help but smile and contemplate Angus' words. Then, they decide to go back to the inn and end the day.

After a while, Jayna begins to realize something."Angus, do you think Anna is alright eating that Sublime thing?" asked Jayna.

"It should be no problem. When I checked it, Anna's body actually absorbed that substance at a slower pace. As long as there is nothing that interrupts this process, she will be fine. Still, just to be sure, we should ask Old Man Draught in the next few days." said Angus.

"Alright, if you said so. Hmm.. I think we seem to forget something." replied Jayna.

"Really?? It's probably unimportant since we forget about it. Alright, let's go inside." said Angus as they arrived at the inn.

In the meantime, at another part of the Porros city, an orc whose face is beaten black and blue wakes up from rubble groggily.

"Urgh… Where am I? I feel like being hit by a strong force in the head. Ehh.. Where is that little shit? Damn it!! Master will kill me if I lose that little shit." said Ilgor as he started to wake up and begin to search for Anna.
