“It’s so frustratiiiiiiiiing!!”
That night, Anje felt extremely frustrated.
“Uhm, Anje-oneechan, you did well you know. Even though your opponent is an S-rank adventurer, you managed to push him to that point.”
I comforted Anje. Goritia was by far the most powerful of all the humans I had encountered since I was incarnated in this era.
I trained her last night, but to be honest, I didn’t think Anje would be able to get him to fight her to that point. When the match began, Anje performed better than I expected.
Perhaps, due to the nature of an Amazoness, she would be better off fighting against opponents who are stronger than herself, but whatever it was, I think it was a good fight to be proud of.
“As Goritia said, Anje-oneechan will be able to win eventually.”
“……”
Still, Anje looks frustrated. In a way, this competitive spirit may be the secret to her strength.
“Anje, I will avenge you.”
Anje roared at Fana’s perverse words.
“I’ll hate it more that way, you know! That would mean that I’ve indirectly lost to you!”
“……?”
Incidentally, the first round of the finals was played up to the fourth game in one day. The remaining match 5 through 8 are scheduled to be played tomorrow. Fana will appear in the seventh game of the tournament.
“You’re going to be against that hero guy in the first place. You should focus on defeating him first.”
“Mm, don’t worry, I’ll win.”
Fana is full of confidence, but it is probably without any basis.

And the next day.
“Now then, it’s finally time for the second half of the first round of the final tournament…! We can surely expect a match that will be just as exciting as the first half! I’m sure there are some spectators out there who were so excited that they couldn’t sleep! Right? Right? I’ll be honest, I am one of them…! So right now, I’m really sleepy! Please show me a fight that will blow away this drowsiness…!”
The fifth match began amid boos from some in the audience in response to the commentator, with comments like “Who cares, you idiot” and “Do a better job of commentating!”.
In the center stage, there is a man so big that he seems to be a giant, and a small young man who wields a spear. The two were complete contrasts, and the difference in physique was even greater than that between an adult and a child. However, against most expectations, the spear-wielding young man won. He was toying with the big man throughout the match with his agile movements. The spear-wielder advanced to the second round.
And in the sixth game, a knight belonging to the Imperial Knights faced off against a shabby looking old man.
The odds were overwhelmingly in favor of the knight, but once the match began, an unexpected development took place. The old man, who fought with his barehand, fended off the knight’s attack with movements like flower petals dancing in the air and he delivered counterattacks with exquisite timing.
What’s more, the counterattacks were powerful enough that it is hard to believe that they are coming from such an emaciated old man. The knight was ultimately cornered.
Still, the knight showed his will at the end. He was prepared to take the old man’s attack head on, and with a powerful blow, he achieved a major comeback victory.
“Valuma-shi narrowly won a victory! But to have pushed an Imperial Knights to this point…… what an old man he is……!?”
There was a lot of excitement in both matches, and eventually, it was the seventh match.
“Whoa, whoa, the excitement in the venue is at its peak! It is now finally the time for that person to appear…! Yes, it’s our hero, Prince Orion’s turn…!”
Amidst the loudest cheers, Orion, the prince and hero of this country entered the ring.
“““Kyaaaaahhh!! Orion-samaaaaaaa!!!”””
The squeals were so loud that it was earsplitting. Some of the girls were so excited that they fainted.
“And for our Hero’s opponent, it’s the A-rank adventurer Fana-shi! She is in the same party as Anje-shi, who put up an amazing fight yesterday! This is surely going to be an incredible match…!”
