"Come on, let's go! Kengo's apprentice!

"My name is Singh!

A duel between me and Qatar has begun.

As soon as the string "duel begins" appears on the retina, Qatar runs out toward this one.

Do you want to come that way first?

I reinvigorated my hands with a 'cross' and a small shield and lowered my body's centre of gravity to intercept Qatar.

At the same time, I activate two magics.

"'Protection'!" Blessing "!

I didn't get a chance to use these auxiliary magics at the last tournament, but not this time.

My only constraint is the A-rank equivalent of the allogeneic limit and the ban on using damage heels, which doesn't mean I lose on a hit basis.

All the guys in the general department are at level 50 or above.

Because I'm not the only one with too high a VIT, the same rule as the other participants, "Defeated by HP Half", applies.

Then both "protection" that increases defense and "bracing" that increases max HP will be effective.

The monk position is still unfavourable because the rules of the tournament prohibit the use of restorative magic (maybe to prevent the duel time from prolonging in vain), but having these two magics is enough for me.

"Was it a monk position, not a warrior position! But the awkward don't condone it!

Qatar screamed at me for using magic.

It would be easier for me to stay alert, but it doesn't matter if I don't condone it.

Instead, I'm relieved you don't want to be seen sweet because you're a monk.

"Ha!"

Qatar has been trying to pierce me with a ninja knife in his hand.

So I move my little shield along with it and gently recieve the ninja knife.

And as a series of motions I tried to tap 'Cross' in... but Qatar backed away slightly and avoided my attack.

I knew it would be so easy for you to eat.

Using [Time Run] would be a lot of guesses, but that's still premature.

My battle style when it comes to not using damage heels should not show [time runoff] easily.

Now I'm expected to win with the tactic of losing my opponent's defense and shredding his HP with a series of attacks by 'Cross'.

For this reason, there is nothing you can do to strike a special, short-term and decisive attack.

Although you can do it by using [Time Run] if you hit 'Cross' once or twice, it is possible that you will not be good ahead of you from there.

It would be very mendeau if they could get away with it so badly that they would alert me to my powers.

Besides, this is still the first round of the duel.

We have to consider fighting four more times from now on.

If I fight with all my might now, I'll be a butterfly in the last Kengo fight, and I'm afraid they'll take care of me later on.

In addition, in situations where we do not even know what Qatar's incompetence is, we should be cautious about far-fetched behavior.

If this man's powers were more aggressive, he could get a painful hand counter if he made a bad move.

Therefore, we can still be thorough here and wait for the opponent to show a gap.

I make that decision and keep calmly judging Qatar's attacks.

"Ku... you're still stiff... I don't think it's a monk position..."

"... thank you"

And when about five minutes had passed, Qatar, once away, began to bite his teeth with regret.

Well, once I'm in the protection, it's about Kengo who can break through my defense.

Phil's attacks come in once in a while, but that's mostly if something goes wrong with me.

Perhaps it feels like Qatar's player skills are on a par or a little bit above Phil's.

That means Qatar can't do any damage to me first unless I show a gap.

Also, there is still a lack of clarity in the movement somewhere.

I can say Qatar is strong for now, but maybe like Kengo just said that, this guy can't be serious about women and children.

It would be a shame if it were.

If you're seen as a child, not an enemy, that's nothing more than an insult to me.

"Hey, Qatar. Are you licking me?

"I don't want you to lick me. Awkward people are always serious. Garlic."

No, you're totally insignificant now.

I really can't grab this guy's character well.

"But... if they think I'm out of hand, I apologize. And from here, let's admit it as a good enemy to defeat, and let the awkward show their seriousness."

but apparently you recognize me as a proper and powerful enemy.

I listen to Qatar and loosen my mouth wondering if I can finally see this guy for real.

"Eat it, makishi!

…………

Qatar was made of iron or something on the ground... and scattered the mackerel.

What is this?

It doesn't work for me.

I wear Necromancer boots so I can move as usual, but the strength of those shoes is pretty good.

It doesn't break or penetrate where I stepped on the toge somewhat.

"Qatar... what the hell are you......!

The moment I tried to ask because I didn't know what the man in front of me was trying to do, I heard a slight noise discomfort, and I jumped behind my back.

Then my back sword came down from above where I was! And stabbed him.

And I turned my gaze down upon the mackerel, and cast a backsword into the sky at that moment?

That's pretty costly mane of you.

"Explode!"

That's what I thought, my foot suddenly exploded.

The flames envelop me, and the HP bar shreds by nearly 10%.

"Chip, the person is quite stiff too..."

... apparently that was this guy's offense too.

When were you trapping me?

If you glance all the way through the ground, something like a bill is dropping.

I didn't notice it because it has a color similar to the fighting field.

Perhaps that's who the explosion is right now.

Putting me back with my back sword was part of the tactic.

Nevertheless, the damage done by the current explosion is insignificant.

You won't even have to think that deep.

Next time I won't catch on anymore.

"You can't beat me with a little trick."

"Ku... Then it looks like you have to deal damage with a direct attack..."

It seemed a little unexpected to this guy that the current attack did not produce significant results.

Qatar, who sees that this one has not been heavily damaged, is finally showing signs that he has put his back in.

Then is it time to come?

Kengo turned his mind and didn't tell me, this psychic.

"Yuku! The art of separation!

At that moment Qatar screamed, five figures appeared within the fighting field.

They all look the same as Qatar, with a ninja knife pointed at me

This is crazy.

There was no skill or magic in my earthly knowledge called "The Art of Diversity".

So, could this be Qatar's psychic powers?

"Hoo-hoo, aren't you surprised?

"Your imagination is generally correct."

"The Awkward Genius (Ability) is [Split]. It is an A-rank designated alien who creates his or her own identity for a while!

... I see.

Though time-limited, I didn't expect to create my own identity.

I would certainly say that this is highly idiotic.

I make that decision while surrounded by Qatar and become more vigilant so that I can respond to attacks from anywhere.

"Come on! You're going!

Qatar shouted and shouted down at me with a knife.

Is this a pattern where the real one is mixed with one of the identities, or is the whole body of the minute itself?

I don't know which one it is right now.

Nevertheless, you will soon find out more or less about that as well.

"Hey, what!?

The attack will fly from front, back, left, right to next, but I will avoid it at the same pace as before.

Qatar then stunned and other expressions on his face.

Sorry, Qatar.

"I'm actually better at group warfare than individual warfare."

That's right.

My main battlefield is multiplayer combat.

It's more familiar to me to stand around against multiple enemies than to fight one-on-one.

Even MOB opponents do, but sometimes it's like a dozen players are attacking me at the same time in a leap to defeat me.

And if I can figure out what kind of movement my opponent is going to make, it can be possible for me to protect myself from those multiple enemies for a long time.

People incite me to say "Cheat B" like that, but this is undoubtedly technology by my own player skills.

So no matter how many more Qataris there are, it's not that much of a crisis.

Instead, this cracked the identity of Qatar's alien powers makes the upcoming battle very easy.

"Huh!"

I activate the [time runoff] only for a moment and poke Qatar in front of me with a 'cross'.

Then all Qatari splits slowed down their movements.

Apparently, the speculation I had just made fit in the latter.

This man's alien powers, [transfiguration], are the main body for all minutes, and I guess everyone will bear the damage each person takes, the negative effects.

Then the conversation is quick.

I keep avoiding attacks and take a counter with a 'cross' on Qatar that has moved worse than just now.

"You, you've been making rough moves since you used your powers."

"Gu......"

Did they poke at the stars, Qatar made a bitter look.

Perhaps not every body has a will for minutes, but moves it all with one will.

The numbers have increased, but the attacks are cluttered for that matter.

In addition, negative corrections for 'crosses' are now also working.

I suppose I could have been overwhelmed by the fact that I had more trouble moving slightly worse, but it was only counterproductive against me.

Yeah, judging by that in my head, I flip out of defense and launch a furious attack.

"You can't take me down with an attack like that! Qatar!"

"Guuuuu........................!

We no longer decided to win or lose.

Obviously to the blunt-moving Qatar, I kept slamming 'Cross' relentlessly.

"That's it! Qatar Athlete HP Halved! So the winner! Singh!

This is how I pushed Qatar to halve its HP and won the first round.

At the end of the day, it was a pitiful curtain, but if it wasn't someone like me, this guy would have eaten up at the top of the tournament.

Kengo was right, this man was definitely a strong enemy.

"... Kahahaha... Lord... you are quite strong... the boulder is Kengo's disciple"

He uttered a grunting voice as Qatar leaned back and fell.

When I hear that, I will hit Qatar again with words just after the duel begins.

"Call me Singh, not Kengo's apprentice"

"You care quite a bit about the details...... well ok...... next time you get a chance to fight, the awkward win...... wait...... Singh"

"Oh, that's fine. Let's play again, Qatar."

That's how I made Qatar call his name and promised him a rematch that he would visit again someday.
