After that weird interaction with Thorin, the dwarf, Aiden, and the others continued exploring this amazing territory.

They were still going toward the pavilion, but they could see it from a distance even if they hadn't reached it yet.

Because just like in the Otherworld shop, it was a really tall building.

Nonetheless, it wasn't exactly the same as in the Otherworld Shop as Aiden could perceive the top of it.

But, still, it was impressive that they had succeeded in building such a building when most of the citizens were 3 feet tall.

Imagine all the dwarves building this, probably wasn't easy.

"Do you want to go to the Ravenwood Pavillon, or visit other places since we'll go there tomorrow for the auction," asked Gerald, wanting to hear the opinions of those he should be guarding.

"I guess we can go check out some other parts of the city," said Emma, excitedly.

But, Aiden immediately changed the atmosphere surrounding them as he realized that what they were doing right now had no real purpose.

Visiting a city?

Why would he lose time doing that when he could get stronger instead?

"Is there any training ground around here?" he asked as he knew that Gerald had already visited this place a little in the past.

"Oh? You want to go to the training ground, huh?" asked Gerald, smiling a little.

"Yes, let's go there, good idea Aiden," she said as she got closer to him.

His addictive scent was still on him but with the past month she had grown used to it, it didn't affect her as much as before.

That was a good thing as they literally lived together.

Imagine if the person you were living with, was turned on each time they were too close.

Some might say that's great, but some would be annoyed.

But still, Emma got so close to Aiden that they had some skin contact with each other.

Their hands barely touched each other, but it felt nice.

Well, for Emma, at least, who was still in the complete dark about the time when she had begged for his dick.

Finrod seeing them act so close got a little jealous.

'Are they a thing? Why is she so close to this mongrel?' he thought, clearly despising Aiden as he had stolen everything from him.

Before his arrival, he had the spot for the tournament, he had some interactions with his Goddess Emma, and he was considered the second best talented young awakened in the family.

But, this man in front of him had changed everything.

Emma who was usually stoic and arrogant wasn't anything like that around him.

In fact, she looked as if she would do anything that he would say.

The Goddess of the Everheart family, the most talented there was, was acting like she wanted acceptance from a little boy from the Slums.

Finrod having these thoughts was furious and started thinking about what he could do to change that.

After all, he was still a substitute for the Inter-Family Tournament.

***

Sometime later, the three youngsters with Gerald accompanying them arrived at the training grounds.

However, it wasn't anything like the training grounds found at the Everheart Manor as this one was public without any of the installations that the Everheart Manor had.

Just like in the rest of the territory, it looked old and not updated with the current technology.

Aiden could see multiple scarecrows acting as targets for many close-range combatants. There were also targets for people who needed to practice long-range.

And, unsurprisingly, the public training ground was quite the attraction as a lot of people were there practicing.

It seemed like it was the tournament that had caused this as the whole training ground was literally full.

Every scarecrow, every long-range target. Everything was already being used by someone.

Seeing this Aiden quickly wanted to leave and find another spot to train as this one was literally useless.

But then, an excited voice was heard right beside him.

Who could have guessed? It was Emma.

"Aiden, look, look, it looks like they set up a special challenge for the tournament," she said pointing to his left toward an area which he hadn't observed yet.

There were a lot of people all in line as if waiting for their turn to participate in this... challenge... well it looked like one.

But he wasn't sure as people were all in line toward a small portal.

Clearing his doubts about what this was a voice was heard.

"Come, Come, If you beat the fifth level you will receive a reward!" said an announcer who seemed to be trying to draw people in this little event of his.

'A reward?' thought Aiden, his ears opening up wanting to know more about this reward.

"Aiden, you heard right, let's go and try it, I'm sure we'll be able to do it," she said grabbing his arm and dragging him there.

When she did so, a small blush appeared on her face, but it quickly vanished when she saw his emotionless face.

Then, as they got to the back of the line waiting for the challenge, the announcer continued talking trying to bring more people over.

"The reward is two VIP Entries for the auction tomorrow."

'Well, it's not like any of those randoms will be able to get it,' thought the announcer clearly looking with disdain at the people who started running to get in line.

Aiden hearing this was interesting but not that much as he had no idea what those VIP Entries would give him.

He was sure that it was a good thing to have them, but he had no idea of what advantages a VIP would have.

Gerald who finally caught back to them, smiled when he had what the announcer just said.

"VIP Entries, huh? I guess it would be a good idea to have them for tomorrow."

But as Aiden was about to ask him questions about what it would give you, Emma spoke up.
