Seeing the announcent, a sigh escapes the corner of my lips. The holographic screen displaying the results reveals that I've secured the top spot in the tournant, making the number one participant. It's a bittersweet feeling, as I can't help but recall the tough battles and sacrifices made along the way.
"Buddy, you took the number one," Roth says, slapping on the back with a hearty laugh. "Not bad at all!"
"What the hell are those comnts? They described us perfectly," Arthur mutters, his expression a mix of annoyance and amusent as he reads the descriptions next to our nas on the screen.
"I am not even in the top ten of highest points earners," I say with a sigh again, feeling a tinge of disappointnt. While being the overall winner is an achievent, I had hoped to see my na higher on the list of highest points earners.
"Well, that doesn't matter since only the top five strongest are considered winners. Besides, a huge chunk of points must have been subtracted from you when you killed your teammates. To top it all off, you were literally watching when the flying sword cleaved Moe, Phill, and Carmin without acting," Roth explains.
He's right. The penalties for attacking teammates in the tournant were severe, and I can't deny that my hesitation during those monts had cost valuable points. Nevertheless, it doesn't change the fact that I could have done better.
"Well, at least you said sothing aningful today," I say with a smirk, nodding my head in acknowledgnt.
"Waaah, I have never said anything aningful?" Roth pretends to be hurt, earning a chuckle from Arthur and .
Suddenly, the voice of the announcer continues, capturing our attention once more.
"The top five strongest participants will be chosen as candidates for the upcoming universal tournant. The top five highest points earners will also be rewarded and be given titles," The master of ceremony announces, his voice resonating with excitent.
The news sparks a new sense of excitent within . The universal tournant is a prestigious event that brings together the most formidable fighters from various worlds and dinsions. To be selected as a candidate is an honor beyond asure, and I can't help but feel a surge of anticipation at the prospect of testing my skills on a grander stage.
"I guess it's ti to exit the po--"
I suddenly pause my words as I see Zamira approaching . Before I can say anything, she steps on my toes, causing to wince in pain, and continues walking forward without saying a word.
"Oii, that must have hurt, huh. To be honest, it seems like this woman really likes you. I am quite surprised to see the cold ice princess finally fall in love. Maybe Roth was right after all. Besides, she didn't use her dangerous sword that usually freezes people," Arthur speculates, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Hearing his words, I let out a sigh inwardly. It seems like Zamira is better off with her demi-god tier weapon. The ice and fire active skill makes her more formidable in battle than the demon-tier weapon. But well, I will ask her about it first.
"Hey guys, I will log out of the ga since there is nothing left to do again," I say, waving my hand to Roth and Arthur.
"Hey! As you can see, people are still having fun here. Quit acting like an old geezer, man," Roth says, wrapping his arm around my shoulder.
"By the way, don't you notice so thick girls around? They wouldn't even turn you down if you walk up to them, right?" Roth whispers in my ear, a playful grin on his face.
I chuckle at Roth's attempt to lighten the mood.
"You and your wild ideas, Roth. You know Zamira and Avril are still here. Who knows what Zamira would do next if she sees chasing after one of these girls. And you... I am sure, Avril will farm your balls," I reply with a grin, shaking my head at Roth's playful teasing.
"Co on, man. Avril and Princess Zamira left. Besides, since you have many wives, you don't have to worry about Princess Zamira," Roth says with a small nudge.
Sigh... This guy.
"You won't understand. I have important things to do. The Supers Academy examination is near. Didn't you also register?" I ask, trying to shift the conversation to more pressing matters.
"I registered," Roth answers.
" too," Arthur chis in, always eager to participate in any challenge.
"However, my father told not to attend the academy again and look after the family affairs," Roth says with a sigh, his expression clouded with conflicting emotions.
Hearing his words, a small frown appears on my face. I know Roth's relationship with his father has been a complicated one, and his father's plans for him have always been a source of tension.
"Roth, just do what you think is best for you. Follow your own destiny. If you are against your dad's idea about taking over the family, then talk to him about it. Make him know that you have your own path to follow," I say, offering my advice and support.
"Thanks, man, I'll visit you in the real world," Roth replies, a hint of determination in his eyes as he walks away.
"I think this is my chance to finally get a girlfriend," Arthur says with a mischievous grin, deciding to pursue his own interests now that Roth and I have our own plans.
I sigh inwardly, watching the two friends walk toward a group of girls in the corner. They never fail to amuse , and I wish them the best of luck in their endeavors.
