The Undefeatable Myth was finally defeated.

This news spread like wildfire among all the tournament mania in the city.

Despite this being only the prelims, there had been quite a bit of attention on Undefeatable Myth Goldoh Kinmekki. Though many were surprised to hear that he had been defeated by a completely unheard-of new participant, they found themselves convinced upon hearing the details of the match.

It somehow seemed like this new guy had won by chance.

That was the frank opinion of most of the tournament mania.

However, a small minority of them, as well as some who had seen the match first hand, came to hold doubts regarding Jiminas evaluation.

They purposely sought out Jiminas matches, hoping to see him up close to gauge his strength for themselves.

However.

AAHHH!! Contestant Quinton is DOWN!! He cannot get back up! Contestant Jimina, once again he wins with a single attack!!

Finals of Block B of the Festival of the God of War prelims once again ended with Jiminas victory.

Once again, with a single attack.

None of the tournament mania could accurately gauge Jiminas strength. Todays match confirmed Jiminas entry into the tournament proper, but not a single person understood how on earth he managed to win all the way to this point.

This is entirely too much to be pure coincidence, so he probably has some strength.

His opponent in the prelim finals, Quinton, was a magic swordsman with stable strength who is evaluated quite highly among the tournament mania. Since even this Quinton had lost, then they had no choice but to acknowledge Jiminas strength.

But since no one understoodhowJimina won, no one could grasp exactly how strong Jimina is.

Hes most likely stronger than Quinton, but is he strong enough to stand on the stage of the tournament proper?

Even if heisstrong enough to do so, is that strength enough to earn him a place among the Festivals history of champions?

This topic became all the rage among the tournament mania.

Many did not believe that Jimina has the strength to go high in the tournament.

In light of his achievements, this couldnt be helped.

Almost all other contestants in the tournament have sold their names in other tournaments or battlefields. However, Jimina had not done any of that.

Objectively speaking, there wasnt a single thing to prove Jiminas true strength.

And thus, his evaluation naturally was low.

But a small portion of the tournament mania were pushing Jimina as a dark horse.

Looking at this years participant list, it is almost certain that the champion will be Iris again. However, if there really is someone who can overturn that result then it can only be this mysterious young man with as-yet unmeasured strength.

With such expectations on his back, Jimina leaves the arena.

The tournament proper begins next week.

The first match will be Jimina Sehnen vs. Annerose.

90% of people predict that it will be Anneroses win.

While thinking about how todays ossan opponent was strangely energetic, I leave the arena. His name was Q- um, sorry, I forgot. He had quite relentless killing intent, so it was a bit new.

With this, my entry into the Festival of the God of War is confirmed. The first match is next week.

To this point, the audiences reaction is about so-so. The plan is to slowly begin revealing my strength in the matches starting next week, so until then Ill be doing image training.

While walking down the long corridor of the contestant entrance with such thoughts on my mind, I find my way blocked by a lady with light blue hair. If I remember correctly, her name is Annerose.

You have business with me?

To think that you would advance to the tournament proper. Youve sure done it.

Her strong-willed eyes are looking at me.

A natural result.

I admit that I had misjudged your strength. But I have a warning for you.

Warning?

Ive already seen through your movements. Dont think that you can continue winning in the same way as before.

Annerose flashes me a confident smile.

Hmph

I laugh with only a corner of my mouth. Then, as if to insinuate that she is not worthy of anymore of my time, I indifferently walk past her.

Please call out to me!

So I shout within my heart.

Whats so funny.

I can feel Anneroses glare.

THANK YOU!

I turn only my neck around, as if sizing her up with only the corner of my eye.

A warning from me too, then

So saying, I undo the wristband that I had put on in expectation of this happening, and throw it at the ground by Anneroses feet.

Dosa.

The wristband makes a heavy sound upon hitting the ground.

Th-, this is dont tell me you had this weight on while fighting?!

These weights are the chains that seals my strength guess play times over

Dosa,dosa,dosa.

I take off the weights on both hands and both feet, then begin walking away.

Kuh w-, wait a moment!

But I no longer stop.

I said, wait a moment!

Annerose circles in front of me in a fluster.

Dont think that youve won with just this, alright? Watch

Then Annerose cracks her neck, with akoki.

For some reason, its excessively fast.

Even I can do something of this level, alright?

Is that so

I dont quite get it, so I just walk past Annerose with herdoya-gao.

What did she even want to do anyways?
