After thinking about it for a moment, Asher turned and walked away from the abyss-like pit.
He came to a stop before a random stone on the ground. He picked it up and unsheathed Virelass as he slashed the rock, leaving the last Position Marker on it. Then he immediately arched his arm back and threw the rock into the air with Astra energy wrapped around it for protection. After all, if the rock shattered upon landing, then the Position Marker would dissipate and vanish. Meaning if he was in danger, his only escape options would be the Wargrave Estate or Star Academy, which would result in automatic disqualification.
With that done, Asher walked back toward the pit and stared at it one last time, a smile appearing on his face.
What was the point of being strong without taking risks and being at least a little adventurous? Of course, Asher knew he was merely giving himself a stupid reason to jump into a life-threatening battle.
