Chapter 195: Rest Before Tournament Day

"I'm fine," stated Oli. "They're just some scratches, that's all. Jonon made sure to take it easy on me."

All of the young men then looked to Jonon, stunned to see the spec of blood on his lips. But Jonon was also quick to disperse their concerns. "Oliver should be ready for the tournament now. If he can hurt me this badly, I'm sure he'll be fine."

"Though Oliver should be ready, none of you are to visit him for the rest of today or tomorrow," Hurman added. "He's still mentally preparing for battle and needs all the time he can get. With his skills, Oliver has a good chance at victory but only if he can keep the mental advantage and stay one step ahead of his opponents of a higher realm."

Keldon spoke next, nudging his nephew forward, "That being said, please hurry and patch him up. With that, he'll be ready to meditate and reflect on what he's just learned. As will we all."
