"Do not be arrogant.........."
"We are all in C-rank, is it enough to defeat us alone?"
"... That's fine, I will destroy you with all my might ..."

Seven people besides me looked at me with murderous eyes.

...Why are you all so angry?

"Fumu? I think it's a proposal that give benefits each other, right? It will not be a good experience if there are no differences. If I have to wasting time on pointless things, it's better for me to practice on my own.”
"This bastard..."
"Wasting time fighting with us, you say!?"

......Muu~, it seems they were angry.
Why?

◇ ◈ read only at asw-tenan ◈ ◇

Oh, I see.
They couldn't get anything against me, but they might compete with each other, and maybe it will be a good match.
They were angry because their opportunity had been stolen.

I just selfishly thought about myself.

"Okay, I understand. So I'll try to hold back. So it will be a meaningful time for you too."

With this they should not complain.
To be honest, it was more difficult to be moderate than to be serious. But this could be considered compensation because I had changed the format of the initial match then involving them.

"Hold back you say !?"
"Don't play with me ...!"
"How far are you going to make fun of us, you bastard...!"

............ Eh.

"I don't understand, really I don't understand at all ... maybe these people are just stressed and just want to vent their anger."

It was hard to understand even if I tried to think about it.

"... That Arel-san, he is a type that naturally turns other people's nerves huh..."
"... Does he not realize that he is the one who causing others to get angry..."

Lilia and Raina seemed to be whispering something with half their eyes, maybe they were also confused by the anger of the opponent who didn't make sense.

note: where is your ability to read other people's words in their heart?
『Then the match starts!』

At that signal, seven swordsmen jumped one after another.

I cut their arms elegantly, enough to defeat them.

◇ ◈ ◇

"M- More importantly, congratulations, Arel-san! With this you can take part in the second qualification!"
"Are there about 100 swordsmen in the second qualifying round?"
"Right! From there, participants will be reduced to the remaining 12 participants."
"... Will it be able to become a match of 10 people at once against me again?"
"As expected, that was a reckless action against a B-rank swordsman!"

The second qualifying round will start one week later.

"In that case, how about we explore the dungeon."

I had reached the 7th floor, and [Advance Class] Living Armor finally began to appear.
I want to went to the lower floor and fight with [Superior Class] Living Armor.

"Aa~! I'm too!"
"You don't have to come, you know?"
"Even if you say that clearly!? But not! I will definitely come!"

.......... I might just learn mental strength from her. (note: the only thing he can learn from Lilia XD)

"No, I think you already have more than mental of steel..."

Raina seemed to say something.

◇ ◈ ◇

The second combination of qualifications had been announced.
Only 12 participants could participate in the final round.
Therefore, the second qualifying round was divided into 12 blocks, and each will consist of around eight people, they will compete in the tournament format.
The winner of each block could participate in the final round.

"Why does it have to be 4th block together with Arel-san?"

Lilia lamented while holding her head to see the combination of participants displayed on the bulletin boards scattered in various places throughout the city.

"... It has been decided, I will skip this year's final round ..."
"Don't think about it. However I am in the same block, is it hard for Lilia to compete in the Final?"
"Right!? That's right, but I think the way of your encouraging is a bit awful!?”

I then left Lilia who was crying, then I talked to Raina.

"Raina is in block eight huh."
"Oh, yeah ... fortunately I'm on a different block from you two, but still there are many strong enemies. Last year, I made it to the second qualifying final, so this year I want to win the final.

Even if you think about strength, it was likely Raina will win from Lilia.

◇ ◈ ◇

The second qualification round started.
That place was bigger than the one used in the first qualifying, and there were lots of people who seemed to come to see the match.
There were many people who clearly not a swordsmen.

"Of course, even though the main event is the final round, but about this second qualification, there are more and more people from outside who come to watch the match."

Lilia told me in the hallway when we went from the waiting room to the arena in block 4.
There were several arenas in each block.

"I think the city is busy recently for a reason."

We got to the arena.
There was a stage in the middle, and the seats around it were already full.

"Oi, isn't that the [Classless] being talked about!?"
"I've heard that, but is really he?"
"But, Isn't it true that [Classless] has won until the second qualification!"
"About the swordsman from Black Blade being defeated by him in the match, is that true?"
"There're no mistake! Because I've seen it with my very own eyes! He even defeat 10 people alone!"

It seems like I attracted a lot of attention.
Well, it wasn't just started, it was because I was used to curious gaze for a long time.

"Obviously there are a lot of spectators ..."
"Is that so?"
"Ee~, usually at most only about half of this. There are many people who heard about Arel-san and came to see it.”

Saying that, Lilia embraced my arm.

"...........What are you doing?"
"Fufufu, with this there will be many people who misunderstand between me and Arel-san, and it will eventually become an open fact, That's really―――― bu be!?

Lilia grabbed the stomach where I hit her.

"That guy, he hit that girl's stomach!"
"Even though it won't get hurt because there is ."
"It would be surprising if it didn't hurt! But that's not the case, don't reduce even before the match starts!?"

I heard voices from the spectator.

"Oi, it seems that he is close to [Fencer] Lilia."
"After all they are in the same guild."
"But it seems that it is more than a partner relationship in the same guild."
"Damn, are they dating. Whatever it is, I just want to know because it looks good ...

Looking at the current situation, it was impossible to understand why such a conclusion could be reached.
