My great worry about the champions prize aside, the fighting tournants qualifying rounds have begun.
The participants have gathered in the 8 venues we prepared for the qualifying rounds. Most of them had anxious expressions as they waited for their turn to fight.
By the way, we had also prepared audience seats for the qualifying rounds.
We assud it would mostly be just the participants family who would co to watch, but for so reason, each venue was packed.
Even though this was just our first fighting tournant, it has already gained the attention of the whole village.
As for the rules, the qualifying rounds and the main rounds had the sa ones.
The following were just so of the rules on determining who lost:
They were deed unable to continue fighting;
They declare defeat themselves;
And if they were to exit the fighting ring.
The following would not only have them forfeit the match, it would also get them sent to a rehabilitation facility:
Attacking an enemys vital points;
killing the opponent;
And disobeying the referees instructions.
Each venue was stocked with plenty of potions. Moreover, the venues were actually built next to a hospital, so as long as the injury wasnt too grave, its alright.

Hmm? Isnt that
When I ca to check the venues, a certain person who was about to enter the fighting area caught my attention.
It was none other than Manta-san, Mack-sans son. The both of them have moved here from their village in the forr Albert territory.
If I recall correctly, hes supposed to spend so ti in a rehabilitation facility. Has he been properly rehabilitated?
Soti prior, Manta-san declared that he was going to split a waterlon in half using only his thing. That declaration alone was cause for concern already, but he actually proceeded to take off his pants. Thankfully, the guards were able to stop him in ti.
That wasnt his only offense, either. Apparently, he has been regularly pestering others by doing things such as persistently hitting on won.
Hahaha! Im not who I used to be! I now pursue won appropriately! Yes, Ill use this tournant to show off my good points and be popular!
Yup, his character hasnt changed much, has it?
That said, it might be true that he was now more, uhh, appropriate.
Whichever the case might be though, I had no idea what he intends to do to win. He didnt have any Gift or any combat experience, after all.
Ive been practicing the sword for this very day! Oh yes, I know! I know that if you train in the training ground, youll improve several tis faster than normal!
Manta-san declared so and then gleefully drew his sword.
Youll serve as the first step toward my life of fa!
As soon as their match officially began, Manta-san rushed head-on toward his opponent.
*Clang!*
huh?
Manta-sans attack was easily deflected, leaving him dumbfounded.
His opponent made use of this chance and launched an attack of their own.
Waaoo!?
Taking care to not gravely injure Manta-san, his opponent used the flat of their sword to hit the top of Manta-sans head.
He imdiately fainted and dropped to the floor with a thud.
Expected as much
After all, his opponent has been training in the training ground way before he has.
It was only natural that his first set of training sessions couldnt compare to his opponents.
Manta-san had lost his consciousness and showed no sign of getting back up anyti soon.
After being deed unable to continue the fight, his defeat was declared.
Oh, thats Mack-san over there, isnt it
He was probably a bit worried about his son and ca to check.
But when he saw his sons instant defeat, he breathed a sigh and turned back.
Well, Manta-san might have trained just to enter the tournant, but the fact was he still trained. That, in my opinion, was plenty of growth already.
Even though they didnt have any combat Gifts, many villagers have been regularly training in the training ground. Largely thanks to that, the matches, even though it was still only the qualifying rounds, were all impressiveall besides Manta-sans maybe.
That being said, so participants were able to win with relative ease. These of course included people like Selen and Philia-san, both of whom were top contenders for being the overall champion.
In all of their matches since the start, Selen has been able to defeat all of her opponents in 10 seconds or less, while Philia-san was able to defeat her opponents without any of them getting close. Needless to say, both of them have advanced to the main round of the competition.
