535 Five Minutes

Eiro stepped into the arena with a smile on his face. He looked at the symbol on the back of his hand, while Bavet whispered into his ear, "Eiro, what the hell did you just do? How can you just deliberately lose? I thought your plan needed you to become the hero's companion!"

Eiro smiled lightly, "Don't worry. My side of the deal was to stand still for five minutes without fighting back. It's not my fault if my opponent is too weak to beat me in that amount of time." He explained, and Bavet quickly caught on to what was happening right now.

"You... oh... yeah, I get it now..." Bavet replied, and Eiro walked toward the center of his arena, where he and Evelyn were being introduced further. Past achievements, personality, combat style, that sort of thing. They just wanted to entertain the people watching this tournament.
