"Good luck with the first round! Shin!"

Sakya gave me words of support as I walked down the hallway leading to the fighting field.

Sakuya is feeling restless.

What do you do when you're more nervous than the person fighting you?

Sakuya, don't worry, I won't lose that easily.

"! Yeah! That's right! Sing-kun can afford to win!

"... oh"

I heard the word "winner," and the tournament table I saw just now came up in my brain.

Maybe Sakya thinks about it too.

I'm going to win this tournament.

And I think maybe the battle we're going to have can go first and foremost without any problems until the finals as long as unforeseen things don't even happen.

But perhaps the final will be a tough fight.

Because...

"... ah"

…………

…………

From the end of the break room door by the fighting field, Phil suddenly appeared.

She alternates between me and Sakya, making her expression sink more and more.

Why do you bowl in with Phil so often?

Now is the time to face each other.

"... hey, Phil. You're in the duel."

"- Eh!"

When I tried to sound as normal as I could, Phil shook his shoulders piquely and ran off the hallway.

... Well, I knew this might happen, but it's still hard to avoid.

I wanted to maintain my relationship as a good friend, even if I couldn't be in a relationship with him as a lover.

Is that not possible anymore than the involvement of a sexuality shakedown?

"Phil... you're so..."

"Right..."

Me and Sakya sighed as Phil looked in the direction he ran.

Maybe Phil is mad that I decided to hang out with Sakuya.

If so, that depression will undoubtedly be the main battle of the duel competition… exploding on the stage of the finals.

When that happens, will I ever beat Phil?

I had such anxiety about Phil, who would have won the final of this tournament.

"You hit me first, but you're out of luck! There's no turning for Claude!

Canna of "Iron Arms," one of Claude's surroundings, has said that out loud to me standing on the field of combat.

When I hear that, I repaint my struggling consciousness of what was sinking into me in one thing with Phil.

You hit it with me now, but you're out of luck.

He seems quite confident, but it's up to me to win.

Let's ask her to leave here.

The rule of duel is a basic half-match.

However, some athletes have restrictions on the use of their abilities, like me, or they are battling in gear with some status going down.

Given that in my case the defense is too high to be deluded with gear, only the winning conditions of the opponent fighting me are applied.

For this reason, the only shackle I have is the Simple Ability Jammer wrapped around my right arm.

Also, I'm the other guy, so Kanna doesn't seem to have any constraints.

I mean, my winning condition would be to halve Kanna's HP, which allows her to use her full powers.

Where damage heels can be applied in an instant, it is necessary to use another means than is now prohibited by the Games.

I removed the small shield and artifact 'cross' from the item box.

It would be best to fight with this gear.

"Game one! Sin VS Kanna! Duel begins!"

"Come on" Build Error "! Kneel before my fist!

And the moment the referee's declaration of the start of the match was made and the letter 'duel begins' appeared on the retina, Kanna has packed the distance from me all at once.

Her job is martial arts housekeeping.

Therefore, we knew we were coming closer here.

I've come as close as I can to predict how Kanna will move and put my strength back into my left hand with a small shield.

"... cum! Not much to do! The boulders are ex-tanks!

"I'm still an active tank."

I continue to reciprocate Kanna's fine fisting streak with a small shield.

If you're the type of guy whose enemies aren't launching a massive attack by themselves, a small shield is better than a big shield.

The large shield has a wide range that can be covered but is heavy for that matter, and the small shield is the other way around.

Little shields are considered easier to handle in handling, but when little shields try to be properly extreme, they need player skills over big shields because of their small defensive range.

But for that matter, it's very strong. A half-breed attack can be prevented by simply moving one of these shields lightly.

"... chip!

Apparently, the opponent is jerking me off for not hitting me.

But you're pretty strong.

I don't activate inadvertent skills, and I use skills that are quick to come and go even if they are used, and the gap is not very large.

In addition, since all the skills used are unchanging, the activation of the skills must be captured only by preliminary motion.

Pretty tight when they do this in a martial arts job that owns a lot of fast-paced skills.

Nevertheless.

It doesn't mean I can't handle Kanna's attack.

"1"

"Huh!"

I predict Kanna's movements and hit the artifact 'Cross' in my right hand.

Just a light hit on Kanna's left shoulder didn't do any damage, but my offense was able to hit it fine.

"Ha! You can't damage me with 'sturdy' powers with an attack like that!

But it is also true that no damage was done.

Did Kanna try not to be afraid of me in the current attack, or she sounded her nose and unleashed a provocative word?

Ingenious' sturdy '.

That's a psychic I knew about in advance intelligence gathering, too.

Rumor has it that Kanna is tougher than a normal person due to this alienation?

In other words, "my fist crushes rocks," he said to me before, is not exaggerated or anything, and it may fit in the sense that his fist has more hardness than a rock.

Plus, with the status correction in the other Earth, we can assume that Kanna's defense, and offense, are jumping a lot.

So you should think that a half-breed attack won't work on this guy.

But it says "only normal".

"Two, three, four, five."

I stubbornly continued to hit the 'cross' in anticipation of Kanna's gap.

"Gu...?

Then Kanna's expression began to get tougher gradually, and there was finally a slight change in HP where I hit 15 shots of the attack.

"16, 17, 18, 19"

"Gee... what?

Kanna doesn't really know what's going on.

Well, it would be hard to tell at first sight.

Every time my attack hits, there's a negative correction on my status. Oh, my God.

"20, 21, 22, 23, 24"

"Damn!? Ku...... don't! Let's do this!

But he could understand the situation somewhat by looking at the HP gauge, which began to decrease visibly, and Kanna began to move with an emphasis on dodging so as not to devour the blow attack by 'Cross'.

But it's too late.

The status drop accumulated by the 'Cross' attack extends to AGI as well.

Kanna is already blunt as a lie in her first years of agility.

You can't avoid my attack with a move like that.

"25, 26, 27, 28, 29…"

"Guh!? Gi...... Huh!?

This is how I persistently slap Kanna with a 'cross' and scrape up VIT and AGI, plus HP.

The opposing Kanna is also trying to resist, but there was never a victory or defeat at a time when a martial arts job that could basically only be attacked from close range was deprived of its leg.

"Stop this... damn!

"Will you stop here! Oradon, let's go, Kanna!

"Hi-gi-no!

Kanna's getting tearful, but I keep bettin 'without mercy.

This pre-erected operation, "If you're less aggressive, you just need to lower your opponent's defense. Operation" seemed effective against Kanna.

Did you purposefully specialize in physical attacks by wearing a lot of equipment with rising STRs?

"That's it!

Where I made a total of 39 attacks, Kanna's HP was halved, where the referee signaled the end of the game.

"Kanna Athlete HP Halved! Hence the winner, Singh!

"" "Waaaaaa!!!!" "

And where my name, the winner, came out of the mouth of the referee, a great deal of applause and cheer arose from the audience.

As it turns out, I would have completed Kanna, but I wouldn't have been so sure what was going on for the side of me watching around.

But the audience was looking at where I was overwhelming Kanna with player skills only, so isn't it surprising that this is how they're celebrating it?

"hey... what was that... what is that now..."

Also, Kanna, who continued to take my offense straight away, had raised a small voice of doubt.

"Tell your people not to think of me as just a recovery job."

That's why I left Kanna with my leg in the break room.
