The other participants watched Gravis first in surprise, but then in disdain. He was obviously afraid of the fight. Only the very few participants who had seen what had happened that day knew that he actually meant what he said.

"Why not?" asked the Guild Master of Earth. "Don't you want to prove yourself?"

"No," Gravis simply answered. The Guild Masters waited for him to say more, but apparently, Gravis was finished.

"Nothing? Really?" asked the Guild Master of Fire, confused. He was in tune with the element of fire, so he was naturally hotblooded. Who wouldn't want to prove themselves by suppressing someone else publicly? "Well, nothing we can do about it. Let's just get back to our guilds."

The Guild Master of Water didn't want to let the chance slip to give her future disciple a better reward. "You have to fight. We are still in the entrance exams. So, go out there and fight!"

Gravis narrowed his eyes. "You told me I am not allowed to fight in the tournament, and now you tell me I have to fight?" asked Gravis, annoyed. "So, you are just playing around with me as you like?"

The Guild Master of Water got angry again. "Listen here, you runt! We are still in the entrance exams, and if you want to join our guild, you have to follow what we say!" she snarled.

Gravis didn't relent. "And what's that got to do with you? I'm not joining your guild anyway. I have proven myself enough already!" Gravis also grew more annoyed.

She clenched her teeth. "You little-"

"Hey, come over here for a second," said the Guild Master of Lightning and politely pushed Gravis to the side, so they could talk where no one else could hear them. Gravis just looked at the Guild Master of Lightning neutrally.

"Put yourself in our shoes for a second," he started whispering to Gravis. "We need to uphold an image of fairness and justice. You might not care about what others think about you, but to us, it is important due to our position. If we don't quell the disciples' unrest, they might start looking down on us," he explained sincerely.
