(POV Alexander)

After the boy who practicing Mue Tai fainted, I quickly recoiled as I sensed various presences approaching at high speed here. A second later, the Master with the [Hero] ability takes his disciple in his arms and begins to examine him.

In addition, Kushinada also comes to my side along with other Masters while observing a little alert the movements of that man.

“ Fuuu~ Looks like he's just fainted. I was scared for a moment, hahaha"

"" ... ""

Finally, with his words, the atmosphere seems to relax a bit. Well, what did you expect? Although the boy was a bit annoying, we didn't have a lot of resentment for each other... or at least, I didn't.

…So please, I hope that Kushinada and the others next to me stopped staring at me as if that was quite surprising!

“Boy, if you only wanted to defeat my disciple, with your strength, I think it was not necessary for you to use that style of Mue Tai… for a moment I thought you had killed him, you know?~"

…Well, I think this misunderstanding is also largely my fault. As he says, in the eyes of other Masters, it was probably like I was trying to take the boy's life using the style Apa had taught me before... I could have just used a normal movement to knock him unconscious and thus move on to the next round.

But like I said, the boy had annoyed me a bit and therefore I decided to attack him with the same movements. I was sure that surprised him quite a bit~!

Of course, since I didn't want to take his life, I just scored my blows on his body without using my energy or much strength on them. Although... since there was a rather strong killing intent behind them, the boy ended up fainting when he felt those light blows... surely it was quite scary and he must have thought that he will die.

“ Hahaha, well, I think this will be a good experience for Kokin. Hope to see your next fights boy~"

...I would not so agree with him. Instead of a good experience, this will surely be something that the guy will want to try to forget.

Anyway, seeing that his disciple was fine... at least physically, a big smile returns to that man's face and while he is carrying him, he leaves saying that. We also do the same and leave the ring for the next two people to face each other.

Well, aside from the fact that there was no deadly enmity between us, I also didn't want to make an enemy of a person with the [Hero] skill. This was one of the reasons why I decided to defeat the boy without causing him many injuries. It would be quite troublesome if that man put me on his list of people he had to deal with.

The tournament continues and one contestant after another is defeated or goes on to the next round. Among them, there were also the boys from Shinpaku and Kenichi. Boxing boy, Tanimoto, and Sigfried go to the next round without much trouble. On the other hand, after a fairly intense fight against one of Yomi's members, Kenichi also manages to move on to the next round.

...since I felt a little guilty that he now had to confront all those boys in a consecutive way, I deciding to help a little by giving him some pills so that in his next fight he would be in a better condition.

Also… if I meet those three guys in the final, surely I can make them retreat without having to fight~! I think we all win if that happens!

"H-Hyaaa! I-I don't want to keep fighting!!

I-I'm sure the next ones will only get stronger. They will kill me, they will definitely kill me!! "

" Y-You can do it, Kenichi-kun! "

…Well, Kenichi seems to think that he just will get hit harder the further he progresses in the tournament, so maybe he doesn't agree with my thoughts as much. Right now he doesn't seem to even be able to hear Izumi-san's words of support… now he had entered a mode of denial and cowardice.

On the other hand… when Ranka-chan and Miu -chan come to see me in the waiting place where everyone waits to be called for their next meeting, the atmosphere between them was a bit strange.

Miu-chan was watching me with a smile on her face, but she had a rather intimidating aura around her! And Renka-chan… since the two of them arrived, our eyes met and she quickly looked away… or seemed to want to say something and finally she just blushed and turned while making some [ Kyaa ~] sounds and twisting her body a little.

She looked pretty cute when did that, but... that only make the attitude of Miu - chan was even darker! So I wish she to stop a little.

… Umu, it seems that what happened last night is no longer something that only I and her know now. This is even more clear because when I look into the stands where were the others, I can see Sakaki with an equal aura of dark that Miu- chan... no, if I pay attention and read his lips, I'm sure he is saying "Die please"!!

Fuck! Even if you ask me nicely, I will not do it! Also, where is that ideology that you held before of defending and value people's lives?!!

Also... I think when I was fighting the boy who practiced Mue Tai I heard his voice encouraging him to defeat me... or rather, telling him to finish me off! I would like to get mad at him but looking at his reaction to finding out that I had sex with Renka- chan, I'm sure Sakaki is a virgin… a man of almost 30 years a virgin… that's kind of sad, isn't it?

"Fuck you, damn brat!!"

I was probably making an expression expressing my thoughts or he has acquired an ability to read minds… I could hear his screams up to here cursing me.

"N-No... you just yelled at Sakaki-Shisho that he was a v-virgin pitiful middle-aged man..."

Well, I didn't care much about his envy and jealousy, I was more concerned about the reaction of other people there. One of these people was none other than Renka-chan's father… Master Ma! When I put my eyes on him with a little trepidation... he smiles at me and gives me a thumbs up! A-A great man... he was a great man!!

…I'm sure not many fathers in-laws would act that way when they found out that you helped their precious daughter to become a woman. I was prepared to receive several complaints and even some hits, but it seems that I was worrying too much. He wasn't one of those jealous parents… which I certainly can't say about the old man, if it had been Miu- chan, maybe our future fight would turn into a life-and-death battle! No, surely it would have been that way!!

As for the other two people that I was a little concerned about their reaction, they were Shigure and Kushinada. Thank goodness they both don't seem very different than they normally do. I can breathe a sigh of relief when I see this… or so I wanted to do, but the pressure of Miu- chan next to me didn't allow it.

"W-Well... it seems like they call me again, I'll go now"

"..."

"B-Be careful, Alexander."

…I spend quite a long and awkward time between these two girls who at this moment were showing opposite attitudes… Kenichi and the others even have to go fight again before they finally call me.

When they do, I run away... yes, I escape! With that atmosphere, it was too difficult to try to have a conversation! The problem was Miu- chan, I could only wait for her to calm down a bit so we could speak... now trying to do so would end in failure by sure.

Then with Renka-chan's breath and Miu -chan's piercing gaze, I step into the ring again. There I meet the bald guy who was already waiting for me... with how uncomfortable things were before, I had even forgotten that he would be my opponent now.

Well, seeing him, I quickly remember the plans I had for this fight!

“…I should thank you, boy. Thanks to you, what I thought would be just a waste of time turned into a very profitable business! "

"…what do you mean?"

As I was preparing to fight and was glad that this time there was no strange introduction from the commentator, that man initiates a conversation. Also, he was saying some pretty strange things, so that I can only ask him for a better explanation to understand.

" Hehehe... when I realized that I would have to fight with that crazy old man, I thought I had lost every chance to win the prize, you know?"

"..."

…Although my main purpose was not the tournament prize, unfortunately, I could sympathize with what he was saying as I was in a very similar situation! I was also very worried about having to fight that damn old man!!

"…then? Did you find any way to defeat him? If so, would you mind telling me how to do it as well? "

"…No, of course not. In the world of martial arts, everyone knows that this old man is a monster... "

I didn't have much hope for that, but I can't help but be disappointed when he reaffirms that this old man was a monster... seriously, I had a hope that the old man would be weakened by something like Kryptonite... or that, if he sank into the sea, then it was just dead weight. Unfortunately, the reality was quite harsh.

…Wait, maybe there is something that can weaken the old man! B-But… doing that is a bit… no! There is nothing shameful as long as you can beat that old man!!

“ What I mean is that the organizers of this tournament offered me the same amount of prize money if I can get rid of you, boy!

Hahaha, don't you think this is so cool?! "

"..."

While I was thinking about how to defeat the old man in my next fight, the bald man begins to boast of his good luck... or at least, the good luck that he thinks he has.

Whaah~ I didn't expect Yami's to move against me so fast… now it seems like my head has a payoff! Fuck! Why does this only happen to me? Before I wondered why they did not take care of the Ryozanpaku with money since the organization seemed quite rich, and now they really used this to deal with me!!

…This depressed me a bit.

“ Besides, if I finish you, they will make that damn old man disqualified from the next fight! So it is certain that I will also get the prize from this tournament!!

Hahaha, fortune is certainly on my side don't you think, boy? "

"...you are not counting the chicks before they hatch? To get all that you say, you have to defeat me first... bald.

Do you really think those guys would offer a reward just like the prize from the tournament to kill me if it was such an easy thing to do?"

"..."

The bald man's laughter stops and then he begins to look at me seriously… while he does that, I also do the same to analyze him. As I had seen before, he was level [112] and his martial skills were rank [B].

Although I think that fighting him would be a bit easier than my confrontation with the guy of suit that I fought in the preliminaries, I still had to be a little careful in this fight... and more because unlike that guy, this man didn't seem to have any misgivings about killing his opponent!

...Well, the other guy even though he said he wasn't trying to kill me, his movements were quite serious.

“ Hehehe… well, I admit that maybe I was a little too excited, I've seen you in your previous fights and you seem to be quite a skilled boy. I can't deny that, but… "

As he spoke, the aura around him intensified a bit… now he was clearly showing that he was someone with a soul level 2! I could feel a bit of pressure and suppression due to our difference in soul levels!

“Unfortunately for you, I am not the same as those guys from before! Unlike the others here, I am at the Master level!! I won't need much effort to deal with you, boy.

Hahaha…. "

…I could understand why he seemed so confident that he could win the tournament. If it weren't for the fact that the old man was participating, and now there wasn't also the guy of suit which would be a worthy opponent for him, it was almost certain that this bald man could defeat the others at the disciple level.

Although... the statement of him calling himself as someone of the Master level, that was something that perhaps many would not agree ... also, despite being a bit at a disadvantage in our levels, I did not feel that I would lose!
