Now, the first round of the D group has just begun.

It's all small,

In the Amelia Kingdom, the suzerain of the Cayenne School, which is the twin peaks of the Heinemann School, Aaron Aaron let out a deep sigh as he watched the younger members of his school rush into the enemy, still screaming high-pitched comically.

That was still better than the three rival Heinemann School students. At the very least, he is a good swordsman.

However, whether cautious or cowardly, they still don't seem to be able to seriously match their swords.

The three of them soon surround one small boy. This first round is a test to see the tactics. As a rule, such team fights are not prohibited either.

But there is too much difference in size. And that's Heinemann-style incompetence, Kai Heinemann. I've seen it several times, taken by Elm, I've seen it.

Do you surround yourself with the same school, and the weakest one, to win the qualifying round? It's no longer a question of ability.

Hilariously, they even seem to be arguing over the priority of the battle. This isn't even the point of three against one.

(The Elm man seems to be having a hard time succeeding me.

At this rate, the rumored Spear King is also likely to be a little boy warrior left to benefit only. At the very least, it is unlikely that he will surpass his direct disciple, Arnolt.

Just when I was remembering these impressions, it happens.

Kai Heinemann slowly steps in and jumps into the bosom of the three men and brings both their palms together. I'm not going to be able to get to the bottom of it.

"I just wanted to see you!

You will find that you will be able to find the best way to make the most out of your time.

What's that move?

With a parched throat, I somehow managed to squeeze out the words of the question.

I don't need my apprentice to point it out to me, I know. I'm sure you'll be able to see that behavior earlier as if all the waste had been stripped away. It's a move only allowed to those who have stepped into the realm of mastery of Aaron and others. And it's the very best of the best--and it's a coincidence.

"Is it a coincidence?

"Don't be a fool!

There is no such thing as coincidence in martial arts. When you can do that, Kai Heinemann is in our territory.

But was there ever a young man who could move that well?

To the unconventional question of mastery

Kai Heinemann. Elm's grandson.

So spit it out.

"Wait, wait a minute! I thought Kai Heinemann's gift was incompetence!

Does that look incompetent to you?

If you see, too little talent. I'm suggesting a path other than martial arts right now.

No, but if that's Kai Heinemann, what does that mean?

Most likely, the Elm man was spreading false information.

I can't help but feel angry. What an incompetent swordsman's grandson! How can something that has reached that realm at such a young age be incompetent! I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it. Otherwise, the movement would not make sense.   

The reason for doing so is mostly to eliminate scouts from other organizations.

But I wonder if the Elm guy knows how much his grandson is despised because of that? No, if you don't know, you can't do such a callous thing. And that's - "Elm, you don't know the difference between what to do and what not to do!

"Elm, you don't know the difference between a good thing to do and a bad thing to do!

This is tantamount to destroying a natural talent for the sake of your school's survival. As a sword master, this is an unforgivable outrage.

But there are rumors that Kai Heinemann has left the Heinemann family.

"You think Elm gave it away?

"Huh, that's very polite of you, but here in Ruzahar, the Heinemann School teacher's representative was blowing the air. He didn't seem to be lying about it, so it must be true.

The one with so much skill released? You didn't notice it because it's your grandson? It's the kind of thing that a person who has experienced a certain amount of actual combat would notice the strangeness of. It's hard to imagine that Elm didn't notice it. Then what was Elm's intention in daring to release so many people? I don't know! Utterly incomprehensible!

I'm not sure it's true that the boon (gift) is incompetent. But there was another hidden gift that was exceptionally not displayed. You know, those Heinemann-style ramurals have a tendency to want to decide on everything with a gift.

Surely this line of one of the teachers is the most convincing?

There is only one gift God can give us. That's certainly what we've been told. But it has not been proven that there is no such thing in the world as having two.

I'm sure that the existence of a double gift holder is more worthy of belief than the claim that the one who displays expert-level behavior is simply incompetent.

It's really a dumb story if that's the case.

"Yeah, totally.

In any case, I must meet Kai Heinemann as soon as possible after this tournament.

If my school gets it, the next king's royal guard is almost guaranteed. If that happened, the Cayenne style would be the leading swordsmanship in the Kingdom of Amelia for two generations in a row.

"Just when you thought it couldn't get any slower, we can't watch him fight.

Unfortunately, I have a mandatory meeting in the next town now. In any case, this tournament is organized the Cayenne way.

If I get back soon enough, I'll be able to have a special seat at the table for the final tournament. Until then, patience.

Let's go!

Doing his best to suppress his reluctance, Aaron urged his teachers to leave the competition arena.
