Strongest Mage with the Lust system Chapter 870: Change Of Plans

Hearing her voice, Rima snapped back to her senses, took a deep breath and nodded in affirmation, "Yes."

White-clothed woman’s eyes flickered and she extended her hand toward her, "I’m Kayla, a silver ranker."

Rima looked at her, a little surprised. She hadn’t expected her to be a ranker because most of the rankers usually sat in their reserved section.

She then also extended her hand and shook hers, "Nice to et you, Miss Kayla. I’m Rima Garfield."

Kayla glanced at the identity badge hanging on Rima’s waist and asked, "When are you fighting?"

"In two hours." Rima answered while watching the ongoing battle.

Kayla also shifted her gaze to the arena upon seeing this, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes, but it soon turned into a self-mocking look.

After a short while the battle beca stagnant because Miyuri had stopped attacking, seemingly realising she couldn’t defeat her opponent.

While Miyuri, to her frustration, was contemplating whether she should give up, Kayla asked Rima, "If you were fighting that turtle woman, could you win?"

Without looking at her, Rima nodded taking no ti think, "Yeah." She then looked at Kayla, who looked surprised by her answer and asked, "What about you, miss Kayla?"

Kayla smiled and said, "I’m ranked 25th."

This ti, Rima was surprised, but soon her expression returned to normal and she nodded silently.

Kayla raised her eyebrows slightly before a small smile appeared on her face. ’I can’t wait to see how strong you are.’

After the duo stopped talking, Nia looked between them, astonishnt clear in her eyes. She found it incredible that Rima, a newbie, was able to speak casually to a 25th ranker without showing any sign of being overwheld. In fact, she even seed a bit... disinterested?

Similarly, she also found it hard to believe that the 25th ranker was speaking to and showing interest in becoming friends with a newbie.

’Milady... she seems to be an extraordinary person.’ She thought and began feeling excited. If she served her well, maybe she would help her with her cultivation. Not only that, as Rima’s status rose, her status would also rise among the servants.

’Heh, I’ll see if you guys will still laugh at .’ He muttered in her heart, her eyes gleaming.

"Hmm?" Both Rima and Kayla noticed the shift in her mood and looked at her with raised brows.

Nia’s face turned red and she hurriedly ducked her head, "I-I’m sorry, Milady, young miss. I was thinking about sothing and... Sorry for disturbing you."

"It’s alright. No need to panic." Rima shook her head and shifted her gaze to the arena. As for Kayla, since Rima didn’t mind, she also didn’t say anything.

Right then...

After hovering in place for a while, Miyuri finally sighed and said, "I admit defeat."

The woman on the turtle checked her identity badge and seeing the newly added rit Points, she nodded in satisfaction before she raised her head and smiled at Miyuri, "Don’t be depressed, Junior Sister. You are stronger than before. Maybe after a few more tries, you can defeat ."

Miyuri glared at her in response before flying out of the arena.

The turtle woman chuckled and then swept her gaze across the sitting area of the Silver Rankers. "Do any of you want to challenge ? I welco anyone below 55."

Those who were ranked above her smiled in derision while those below her snorted before ignoring her.

On the stands, Kayla glanced at Rima and said, "Why don’t you challenge her? You won’t have to waste ti challenging others to raise your ranking if you win against her."

Rima seriously considered it. Though the plan of earning the rit Points by defeating as Silver Rankers as she could was good, she didn’t know the challenge could reject her challenge if they had fought a battle in the past three days.

Since she couldn’t challenge other multiple ranks above her—well, she could, but high ranker liked to accept the challenge of a low ranker unless there was so substantial benefit to it, she would have no choice but to wait for the three day period to pass to issue another challenge to the person ranked above her.

But there was another problem... What if before she issued the challenge, they accepted soone else’s. Though the chances of this happening weren’t high, if it did happen, she would have to waste a lot more ti than she could afford.

Seeing her frown, Kayla asked, "What is it?"

She could tell she wasn’t frowning because she was afraid to challenge the turtle woman, but because of sothing else entirely.

Rima looked at her, and after so hesitation, told her what she had intended.

"So you are really confident in making it to the top 50, huh?" Kayla muttered before asking, "You said you can’t waste too much ti rising through the ranking, but you also can’t miss out on the rit Points, right?"

"Yeah." Rima nodded.

"If you don’t mind, why do you need so many rit Points?" Kayla asked, but thinking Rima might think she was prying into her matter, she added, "I’m just curious because I can see you have just broken through to the Five Star. Apart from so realm stabilizing dicine, you should have no other expense."

"I need to enter the minor realm we entered for our test." Rima briefly explained.

"Oh?" Kayla was surprised, "So, you currently need over 50,000 rit Points, huh."

"Well, there is a shortcut to earn quickly and a more substantial amount." She said after a mont.

Rima’s eyes brightened, and she eagerly asked, "What is it?"

"Betting." Kayla smiled, "However, I would only suggest to take this route if you are sure you can defeat that turtle woman."

"I am sure." Rima said without missing a beat, "Where can I place the bet?" She asked while looking around, but saw no booth.

"Calm down." Kayla smiled before shifting her gaze to the turtle woman who was ready to leave the arena after no one fell for her offer.

"My friend here wants to challenge you, do you dare accept?" Kayla asked, her voice reverberating throughout the arena.

The turtle woman stopped in her tracks, her eyes lighting up. But then she saw Kayla and her excitent was dampened.

Kayla, as if knowing what she was thinking, smiled, "Don’t you worry. Whether she wins or loses, it wouldn’t do anything about it. So, what is it going to be?"

The turtle woman shifted her gaze to Rima and feeling her unstable aura, her expression fell.

"Miss Kayla, you want to fight a newbie and the one who has just broken through to the Five Star? Are you trying to insult ?" She asked, her voice carrying a chill.

She knew she wasn’t Kayla’s match neither in strength, nor in background, but within the Beast Emperor Hall, she wouldn’t accept anyone insulting her, regardless of their strength and status.

So, what if she offended them? At most she wouldn’t leave the Beast Emperor Hall and would beco an elder in charge of internal matters after she broke through the King Rank.

Kayla shook her head, "No. I’m not trying to insult you, nor I’m going to force you. It’s all up to you."

"Since that’s the case, I’m not—"

Before she could reject, Rima stood up and said, "If you defeat , I’ll pay you a thousand rit Points."

"Ah, Is that true?" The turtle woman asked, her eyes lighting up.
