Become A Hero's
The Match is Unbalanced

After the fight in the second session. Halena Elgris was lucky to get into the next round without having to make a match.

Solga managed to qualify for the next round with his great performance while performing his flagship sword technique to defeat his opponent.

Zena Elgris still uses the way he did before to beat the opponent, just with a slip and wind burst.

Well, it looks like the match in the second session this time is mostly boring. Some spectators complained and were disappointed with the current performance of the match.

It did not last long, after the second session of the match was over.

The entire jury decided to proceed directly to the third session with the number of 24 participants whose initial 25, because one of the participants resigned on the grounds of having problems to be solved by him.

Simultaneously, a letter-messaging bird came over to the noble king Edward Elgris who was sitting on a chair.

"What's this?"

His majesty the king took a scroll tied to one of the feet of the bird.

A letter about the change of rules in the imperial tournament that will be held later.

The number of participants allowed previously was 10 participants for each kingdom, and was changed to 4 participants for each kingdom to reduce the time when the implementation took place.

"What does the emperor's highness think?"

King Edward Elgris was astonished by his thought, he closed the letter and gave it to Kanzaki Rito who was beside him.

Kanzaki Rito put the letter into his shadowy aberration, and read it later after the event of this match was over.

First match. Ken who happens to get away meets an opponent who makes himself impossible to win.

"Damn, of all opponents. Why should he?" said Ken bluffing his teeth.

"Here you go, stop that obscure talk." Halena Elgris gave Ken a little advice.

"Hehe, you're right," Ken replied as he slapped his cheek from the side.

The countdown begins.

Ken put the attacking position when the cue of the match began.he used his body strengthening skills.

Slowly Halena Elgris stepped her time casually approaching Ken who remained in her expected position waiting for her time to attack.

The current distance between the two of them was enough to use his other abilities.

Ken instantly activated the blink skill then slashed his sword diagonally into the side position of Halena Elgris' stomach.

Unfortunately, Halena managed to anticipate Ken's surprise attack from behind, he resisted his attack using a kitchen knife that had been coated by mana to strengthen his weapon.

"Lumayan!" said Halena who was a little enjoying the fight with her.

"Hehe, thank you. I'll show you the results of my training before now!" reply Ken quickly jumped backwards in a fixed position forward without averted his gaze.

"What'sthis? why didn't he attack in the slightest, and just defend in his place?" Ken was confused and tried to think of his current solution, as well as prepare for his next attack.

Ken ran away again to approach Halena by circling her until he was unaware of her existence, then in an instant Ken was behind Halena while pulling his knife towards her.

Still, Ken's movement was easily predicted. Halena spread her mana throughout the arena, thus making it easier for her to know the position of her opponent through which movements suddenly change in the scattered area.

Well, it's easy to do because he's a dragon who's been alive for thousands of years.

Halena casually puts up a little resistance for a few seconds and making Ken slightly lose his motivation, he quickly kicks the left leg to knock him down, then blows the knife down the neck.

Ken raised both of his hands up, he gave up in a loud voice as he was a little afraid of the tip of the blade that had already touched the skin part of his neck.

"Boring." Halena sighed, stood up from the top of Ken's body and left her lying on the arena.

Ken who received a crushing defeat in his fight against Halena made himself aware of the limits of his abilities in his current possession.

"Tetsuya and I tried to follow this event on Rito's advice, but did not expect to make it this far. Now that only Tetsuya was left, was he going to get into the top 4?" Ken muttered to himself.

Ken slowly got up and started to stand up from his spot. He took out his sword which was released from his grasp after the fight before, then left the arena quickly so as not to interfere with the process of the next match.

In the participants' break room. "You've been cool Ken, can get this far," said Tetsuya who gave praise to Ken so as not to lose his spirit.

Ken slowly approached the seat behind Tetsuya. "Thank you, I leave the rest to you." Reply Ken.

"Of course, but unfortunately there are a few rules that were changed before the game began. Now the noble king Edward Elgris is only allowed to bring 4 fighters to participate in the imperial tournament later," said Tetsuya who sat down while accompanying Ken.

"Really!" Ken's surprised. "Sadly, maybe I can't get into the top 4. For Halena and Zena to be sure," Ken leaned his body.

Sighs. " You're right, my guess is that there's only one place left. Because most likely Solga will be selected with the ability he has when dealing with his opponents" said Tetsuya.

"Tetsuya, then, should be sure to enter as well, with your current abilities probably enough to fill the position," Ken replied patting Tetsuya on the shoulder with both hands.

Tetsuya sat down to accompany Ken while waiting for his turn to arrive.

A few tens of minutes later....

the second to fourth match was finished.

Tetsuya's turn to enter the arena, he carried a sword of his on his shoulder, slowly walking through the hall before reaching the open area of the arena.

"Haha!" laughter was filled with confidence from tetsuya's current opponents.

A 45-year-old man with a cut to his face, he also lost one of his right eyes while on a mercenary mission in the past.

He is named Hawk, a veteran who already has experience fighting humans such as bandits or monsters.

The weapon he had been using at this time was 2 pieces of iron claws on both hands.

"It seems like I also had bad luck, instead meeting someone who was like a mass murder fugitive. Like Jack the reaper, maybe." Tetsuya dripped his face sweat when he saw his opponent.

Seriate....
