My battle was fast because I realized my enemy's flaw, during my training with Diana in the past, she taught me that many people during non-lethal combat use the first seconds or minutes of the fight to test the opponent's strength.
Knowing this, it was easy to identify what the opponent wanted when he got so close to me using only a physical enhancement, I also realized that his elemental Affinity was the metal element.
As his strength was chosen based on my rank, I knew I had the advantage in certain areas, that's why I beat him so fast, using a single powerful attack that ignores defense was crucial, but I was afraid of him dodging, so I waited until the last second to take advantage of the opening caused by his attack on me.
"Hahahaha..." (Natasha)
When I entered the room again, I noticed that the wall in front looked like glass, I could see the entire Colosseum, it was only now that I noticed the existence of 20 combat arenas.
I also noticed that these big windows weren't glass, it was clear glass, on one part of the clear glass wall was playing a recording of my fight.
"Hahahaha... I can't believe this idiot... hahahaha..." (Natasha)
"I think Zenos didn't understand the proposal..." (Diana)
"I think he was too weak, approaching head-on is stupid." (Ibuki)
"It was boring, only 74 people bet, I won almost nothing." (Loki)
"It's coming back, master." (Freya)
I entered without anyone noticing it but Freya, I go close to the wall where the others are and Diana talks to me.
"I think you misunderstood something about the fight, it was supposed to showcase your power, at least some of it to others, you finished it in seconds with 1 single hit." (Diana)
"You know me, I don't like wasting my time on these things, that was enough power." (I)
I understood what Diana was saying, but I don't like wasting effort on something meaningless, when I'm fighting I always look for the best way to win, I'm not going to change my way of doing things.
"You did well, your opponent who was careless must have assumed it was going to be more of a rookie fight, he also seemed too confident on defense to leave gaps so obvious." (Natasha)
"Who will be the next participant?"
"I will this time." (Diana)
Diana leaves following the same employee who took me to the arena earlier, after she leaves I make a webbed sofa for myself and the others since she doesn't have enough seats for everyone in this room.
I sit and look at the picture of the arena, and before long I see Diana enter one of the arenas.
"I didn't know this place was so well equipped." (I)
"It was better equipped around 130 years ago, there are reading crystals scattered in various places in the corridors near the seats, the private rooms had their glass walls exchanged for these, with this it was possible to improve the bets between people and have access to various functions such as short-term recordings." (Margareth)
"Good thing Nicole isn't here, she would want to take that thing apart." (érica)
"Diana will start fighting now." (Irius)
I keep looking at the pictures, Diana's opponent was a Dwarf, he had a big beard and was dressed in metal plates, and he had two axes in his hands.
Unlike me, who didn't react in front of my opponent until the moment of the attack, Diana takes her swords and gets into attack position.
"Most likely he is focused on physical strength or defense, most Dwarves are like that." (Irina)
"No, he's trying to deceive..." (érica)
"..." (I)
As we were starting to discuss Diana's opponent, érica seemed to have noticed something, but before she could say anything the 2 started to fight.
To my surprise the Dwarf was very fast, his element must be thunder by the flashes of light crackling off his body during the fight.
It was interesting to see Diana fighting, but I know that she wasn't fighting at her full strength, I know this because she was only using her Ki and martial arts, she didn't transform into Lobo or use any special abilities.
The two were fighting while running, as both were 2-weapon users, and they weren't able to hit each other during the entire battle.
But in the end, Diana's opponent surrendered, the two appeared to have no injuries, but when Diana returned to the room I found that she had prevented inflicting serious wounds and fatal wounds on many occasions during the combat, when she recognized this the Dwarf surrendered.

Pov Arash (True Dragon Black Emperor):
I was on top of a mountain looking into the distance, but in my mind, only the vision of her constantly came up.
Her eyes may be a different color, but other than that they're the same as her mother's, calm eyes that always look beyond appearances, eyes that don't judge anyone.
I'm so glad she became a Spirit so she can go to the Spirit world, that's something her mother always loved and couldn't take her.
Her contractor seems like a decent guy, he fights alongside her, plus he always seems to be around, but I still won't approve of him until I test his qualities myself.
"You're not going to try to run again, are you?" (Caitlyn)
"No, now I know she will come to me." (I)
"I know you're thinking about my brother, but remember to leave him alone." (Caitlyn)
"I promise I won't kill him." (I)
"Sir, we have a message from Colosseum City."
"I hope it's something important because I already left another one in charge..." (I)
"What message is this? Speak up or I'll put you to sleep." (Caitlyn)
"The Servant of one of the Living Calamities, she sent this message saying that her master the Living Brutality, and her Younger Brother will be in town with someone named Nix..."
"< Illusory Chains >" (Caitlyn)
My body was trapped by chains materializing around my body, this prevented me from reaching the Dragonewt who brought the message.
"Stop creating a scandal, now we know where they are." (Caitlyn)
