"I can't believe Vyn lost to a first-year student. Moreover, that first-year student is just a commoner and not of noble descendant. This is an insult,"
"Yes, how could a noble descendant lose to a commoner?"
"Amazing, young man. You're the first person to win this tournant while still a first-year student!"
"Good job, young man," the audience said.
Their reactions varied after I was announced the winner of this final match. I could sense quite a bit of hatred directed at , especially from around the audience seats where Her Majesty the Queen was. With my victory, it seed they hated
even more.
Monts later, several staff mbers began arriving at the arena. They imdiately rushed to Senior Vyn, who was seriously injured. They then carried him on a stretcher and took him straight to the treatnt room. anwhile, two other staff mbers ca over to . They seed to have co because they saw the wound on my right shoulder. My right leg was actually injured after being stabbed by a sword that appeared in the arena when I stomped my right foot to create an ice area, but I don't know if they knew about it or not.
After they ca to , they offered to take
to the treatnt room, seeing my injury. Since I'd hidden the fact that I could use healing magic, I went with them to the treatnt room.

After I left the competition arena to head to the treatnt room, Mr. Alan also walked toward the arena. He walked leisurely across the frozen arena and then stopped in the middle.
"We have witnessed the third-place match and the final of the tournant for wons and ns. However, the tournant is not over yet, as there are still prize-giving sessions for the first- and third-place winners and the closing ceremony of this academy tournant. However, because the tournant arena is currently damaged, we must repair and restore it to its original condition first. Considering that so participants are still recovering, the prize-giving session will begin at 2 p.m. I hope the audience will still be willing to attend the academy tournant until it concludes,"
"Now, since it's lunchti, the audience is welco to leave the arena for lunch and return at 2 p.m. That's all I can say for now. Thank you for your attention," said Mr. Alan.
Mr. Alan then left the arena. The other spectators also began to leave one by one.

anwhile, in the hallway connecting the 10th floor to the bleachers,
Senior Florian and Senior Sophie were seen chatting, oblivious to the passersby.
"I can't believe the chairman would lose to Rid," said senior Florian.
"I didn't expect it either. That ans, wouldn't Rid officially be the strongest student in this academy?" asked senior Sophie.
"Maybe so," said senior Florian.
"If you were to fight Rid, would you be confident of winning against him, vice president?" asked senior Sophie.
"I don't know. But I always avoid participating in tournants where the president is participating because I know I can't win against the chairman. If I were to fight Rid, who can win against the chairman, logically speaking, I would definitely lose to him. Even so, I'm still not sure if I would lose to him or not," said senior Florian.

In the audience seats where Charles was.
They were still sitting in the audience seats even though the other spectators had already begun to leave the tournant arena.
"I did know that Rid was very strong, but I didn't expect him to defeat the senior chairman ??and win this academy tournant. He's only a first-year like us, after all," said Noa.
"Well, we're talking about Rid. It looks like we'll have to get used to what he'll be doing in the future," Charles said.
"I guess so. Since it's lunchti, let's have lunch together," Noa said.
"Chloe and I have lunch planned for today with my father and mother. So we both apologize for not being able to eat with you," Charles said.
"That's right, Her Majesty the Queen and His Majesty the King are also attending the final match. Well then, no need to apologize, Charles," Noa said.
Then Charles and Chloe left first, leaving Noa and the others behind.
"Let's go too... but wait a mont. I feel like I've forgotten sothing," Noa said.

In the audience where the upper-ranking nobles were seated.
"I-I didn't expect Vyn to lose. W-would his father be angry if he saw Vyn lose like that?" asked Duchess Arnett.
"I don't know," said Duke Remy.
Duke Remy, Duke Darwin, and Duke Jas seed to be contemplating sothing after the match was over. Not only the three Dukes, but King Albert also seed to be contemplating sothing.
"I didn't expect him to really be able to use the ~San Fulgen Art~ as you said," said King Albert.
"Now you believe it after seeing it in person, right? He's truly an outstanding student, able to win this academy tournant as a first-year student. I think this is a new record," said Queen Kayana.
"You're right, I understand why Irene fell in love with him. But are you okay with this? Soone who isn't a mber of the ~San Fulgen Family~ ??can use the ~San Fulgen Art~?" asked King Albert.
"It's okay. As long as he doesn't use that technique for criminal purposes, I won't have a problem with it," said Queen Kayana.
"Ok, if you say so. Anyway, let's go have lunch with Charles and Chloe," said King Albert.
"Ah, you're right," said Queen Kayana.
King Albert, Queen Kayana, Commander Oliver, and the knights escorting them left the tournant arena.
"Let's go eat first, Lord Darwin, Lord Jas. We can think about what to do next after we eat," said Duke Remy.

In the uppermost bleachers.
The bleachers were deserted, and only two people remained.
"In the end, Senior Vyn lost to Rid," said Enzo.
"Rid, he truly is a monster," said Princess Alia.
It turned out that the two people still in the bleachers were Enzo and Princess Alia.
"If you're talking about monsters, we're both monsters because we use Mana cores from other races as our Mana cores, and so is Senior Vyn. I wonder if Senior Vyn unleashes all his power and uses up his Elf Mana core, can Senior Vyn defeat Rid?" Enzo asked.
"Isn't the answer obvious? If Senior Vyn uses his Mana core and unleashes all his power, Senior Vyn will win. Rid might even die if he fights Senior Vyn in that condition," said Princess Alia.
"Well, enough with the assumptions. Now that Senior Vyn has lost to Rid, it seems the Dukes are thinking hard about how to get rid of Rid," Enzo said.

In the first-year treatnt room.
Irene and I were chatting after receiving treatnt in this room.
"How are your wounds, Irene?" I asked.
"I've fully recovered. What about you, Rid?" Irene asked.
" too, after all, my wounds were only minor, so they healed quickly," I said.
"You can heal the wound yourself, so why did you have to co to the treatnt room too?" Irene asked.
"You knew I was hiding that I could use healing magic, right? That's why I decided to co to the treatnt room," I said.
"I forget. By the way, congratulations on winning this academy tournant, Rid," Irene said.
"Thank you, and congratulations on getting third place, Irene," I said.
"Thank you," Irene said.
"With
winning this tournant, people will no longer have any doubts about us dating. Since I'm strong enough to win this tournant, it's only natural that you'd be interested in
and ask
to be your girlfriend, regardless of my social status. At least that's what they think," I said.
"You've really thought this through, huh, Rid? By the way, while I was still being treated in this room, soone ca to visit
and said they wanted to et you, Rid," Irene said.
"et ? Who is that person?" I asked.
Just as I was about to ask Irene about the person, the door to the treatnt room suddenly opened. Then an adult man wearing a long robe entered the room. Behind him was another adult man accompanying him. I could see a small fox pattern on the front of his robe.
"Hello, Irene's boyfriend, this is the first ti we've t. Let
introduce myself. My na is Asier Erald San Lucia, and I'm Irene's older brother," said Commander Asier.
"Irene's older brother?" I asked, slightly surprised.
"I have a question for you. Can you really defeat the Dragon?" Commander Asier asked.
