As the fight continues to heat up, we check in on our young friends to see how they are doing. The little agudner  daredevil Mabu has finally begun to face the consequences of his  reckless behavior with a nasty stomachache. He is beginning to learn the  hard way that it takes time and training to build up what it takes to  be able to compete for glory!

Meanwhile, the warriors begin their assault on the actinia. One of the sergal  fighters hurls his throwing spear. With his aim true, he connects the  first blow to the already-furious beast, causing it to bellow in pain.

Looking on from up above, Giten has returned to his seat to carefully  observe the fight. Upon seeing the spear attack, Giten is none too  pleased. Mentioned previously on page 24, certain body parts and organs  of creatures  like actinias — especially their livers — fetch high prices. A skilled  butcher like Giten can properly extract these coveted tissues, but all  will be for naught if one of the fighters lands a careless strike that  ruptures or damages any of the prized organs and lowers their value. As  far as Giten is concerned, these games are nothing more than a wasteful  way to lower his profits and cheapen his craft.
