Chapter 83: 83

83 – Punching Hard With her Silver Fist

This tournament is originally an experimental one.

Just like the Hero Show, it was meant to show that there are these kinds of fascinating things, these kinds of spectacles.

For the time being, there are cameras in the audience seats and on the walls of the field, but how much of those would be broadcasted?

After all, the important one is the main competition.

I can’t fail here.

「If someone can defeat contestant Lem and advance to the main competition, I would like to ask more about that during the introduction video before the match.」

Fellow…

I don’t think that he wants…to get rid of his own daughter’s subordinate, right?

After all, he can just say an adequate reason during the examination if I became a nuisance.

When I talked to Fenix, I also heard about this.

He seemed to have noticed my inheritance of the horn.

A Black Sorcerer was implanted with the horn that he might have inherited.

Is he trying to test the ability of the horn?

Or maybe it’s me-.

「What? Seriously?」「It’s a chance to appear on the TV for a long time!」「Thank you, former 4th rank!」「I feel bad, but it’s impossible for you to have a comeback since I’m going to beat you here!」

The contestants looked at me one after another.

Even if he didn’t do that, it seemed that they were already aiming for me since I look like an easy target, but due to Fellow’s remark, the number of gazes has increased.

That’s just fine for me.

Originally, support members were inconspicuous. Since their job is to support the Hero and the other members. They are an existence that makes the surrounding members stand out.

However, in this place, the title of the former 4th rank is showing its effects.

There is also Fellow’s remark, I’m catching their attention.

No one is paying attention to my partner.

A Demi-Human who somehow got caught by the parasite that even his best friend had run out of patience with. Anyway, she’ll probably be a worthless small fry.

That’s fine. It’s better that way.

I look around.

15 teams other than us.

Furcus and Kei are not among them.

Around 6 teams are targeting me and among them, there are 2 teams that stand out.

Some people are already fighting in the field, a total of 7 teams.

The remaining 2 teams chose to wait and see and fortunately no one was targeting them.

I cast Speed Down on the Hero/Warrior pair and the Hero/Paladin pair, the 4 people who were standing out. By inserting a blank space that makes the two Heroes unaware of the interruption, one of them stumbled and the other one lost his stance. Of course, the timing of the activation is different.

Their partners waited for the Heroes in order to match their movements.

Then the other four teams caught up with them.

They lined up in a semicircle and attacked me simultaneously.

「This is a Tag Tournament, you know. Why can’t you understand that?」

That voice is lower compared to her usual voice. She tampered with the vocal cords of her Avatar and expanded her voice range.

It’s a wall. Standing tall in a semicircle is a silver wall.

It stopped or repelled the Hero, Warrior, Paladin, and Heavy Warrior, as well as their swords, spears, and axes.

「There’re two people in a team. You shouldn’t ignore the other person.」　

How should I describe her?

There is a race called Insect-Human. Although they’re Demi-Humans with the characteristics of bugs, there are many kinds of bugs. Or it should be better to say that they’re diverse.

Although they’re all grouped as Insect-Human, for example, some people have a human upper body and a spider lower body, there are also other people that are mostly human, but have the characteristics of a bee on their buttocks, back, and head.

The shell species refers to those who have an exoskeleton similar to a beetle.

Her eyes are fitted with a mask similar to the head of a beetle and while her body still retains a feminine form, several parts are covered with an exoskeleton.

「Wh-what’s that…?!」「It’s Earth Magic, but this hardness is…」「Did that Insect-Human do this!」「Who else would do that!」「No, but she’s just Lem’s supporting character, how can she use this level of magic?!」

For example, Birdmen need the support of Wind Magic in order to fly.

Apparently, even when a person has wings, he can’t fly like a bird.

In addition, Mermaids are good at using Water Magic so that they can move in their desired direction in the sea, and it seems that by being able to use it well, it would be possible for them to carry out activities in the deep sea.

Even Vampires, including Milla, have the ability to manipulate blood as a standard.

Humans are sometimes called Normals because they lack the individuality of a race.

That being the case, Humans are rich in diversity and as a result, their numbers have increased.

「Let’s go, Lem.」

「Okay, Berith.」

Anyway, Insect-Humans also have magic related to their race.

That is Earth Magic. The power they have acquired after living in the forest.

It can be said that it’s the best race for Nicola to mimic since she has a contract with the Earth Spirit.

By the way, there are also some Elves who are good at Wind Magic and Earth Magic.

Lily seemed to have practiced archery because she was not blessed with such talent

「Tsk, I can’t destroy it. What kind of magic…is…eh?」

A staff had pierced through the head of the Hero who’s the partner of the Warrior from one of the teams that stood out

Just like that, his body burst and left the field.

「Eh? What?」

The new thing that I bought for this tournament was a staff.

Originally, there were a lot of Wizards with staves. A staff has a function similar to that of a Majin’s horns, which is to enrich and purify the Magical Energy that is poured into it.

However, it cannot be stored.

It’s a tool that refines the Magical Energy that was poured from the body to the staff, then uses that refined Magical Energy to cast the magic. The effect of the magic would increase by going through that process.

However, since that one-tempo movement still made the casting process get delayed, even though I had it when I was still an Adventurer, I rarely used it.

What I bought this time is one with a certain mechanism.

For now, it’s a staff with a sharp tip. That’s enough.

Berith blocked the opponent’s attack.

I grasped the position of the opponent.

Matching it with the timing of my thrust, Berith made a hole on the wall.

After that, the sharp tip of the staff pierced the face of the Hero who was caught unaware and that’s that.

The stunned Paladin is also full of openings, so I pierced the position where his heart would be and made him leave the field.

The remaining 5 teams became cautious of my surprise attacks and stepped back.

「Can you still go on?」

「Sure thing. Should we defeat the rest?」

「Of course, let’s be flashy.」

「I was already planning to do that.」

I have no intentions of using the anti-Philip strategy and the anti-Furcus strategy here.

This is not the time to cut corners.

If the qualifying round is everything, then it would be okay to expose all the cards in our hands here.

However, we are heading towards the one goal of winning the tournament.

So, in this case, it’s about thinking about where and how much ability should be used.

We won’t be able to win if we always use all of our strength in the fight.

If that’s the case, then we shouldn’t do that.

Occasionally doing what we need to do in order to win. It’s okay just like this.

The wall crumbled.

「…What is that?」

One of them said.

I guess if they looked at her right arm, which was enlarged to the point that it was somewhat similar to a cart, they would say that.

Berith’s right arm was wrapped in silver.

「She, she’s just bluffing! How is she supposed to hit us when her hand is wrapped with that kind of thing!」

One of the Heroes shouted.

Well then, let’s make him the first target.

I deliberately pointed my staff at him.

「-Wha? My body is…is this Black Magic? This…」

I used the staff to cast Speed Down. Although it’s still inside the category of Black Magic, its effectiveness has exceeded common sense.

I could interpret it later as if he was a strong man equivalent to the 4th place party in the world.

It’s just barely under the degree that afterward it could be explained as that I was worthy of being one of the powerful people who was the 4th rank in the world.

It’s a little disappointing that I didn’t use my Magical Energy in front of another Black Sorcerer. He had no intention of preventing the Black Magic. Meaning that he thought that there was no need to be afraid of someone like Lem.

「Hey, she’s starting to move! Why aren’t you retreating!」

「No, my…my body feels heavy!」

While the Hero was quarreling with his partner, the Paladin, Berith had already arrived.

No, I should say that they were already inside the range of her fist.

「Haa?! Gah, fine! I’ll block this blow, so quickly cast Resist-」

I couldn’t hear his words to the end.

They were blown off backward with tremendous force and burst as they hit the wall of the field.

Of course, the thing being dispersed are the Magical Energy that composed their Avatars as they left the field.

Although the damage was dealt to the Paladin and the Hero that was behind him. Several Adventurers, whose bodies were grazed by them as they were blown away, had their arms, stomach, or legs blown off.

The power of Berith’s fist should have been immediately transmitted to everyone.

「Yeah, that’s pretty good.」

When I was preparing to use the staff, the contestants visibly became cautious.

…This is practically my first time experiencing having those people, that have the same profession as me, being cautious towards me.

There is a wall if they get closer. Moreover, Black Magic seems to be more effective than they imagined. If they get slowed down by Black Magic, then they can’t avoid the fist of the Insect-Human. And if they get hit directly, they would leave the field.

「What’s the matter? You’re going to defeat Lem, right? I’m not going to let you lay even a single finger on him.」

The contestants are slowly retreating.

They have no way of defeating Berith.

Just like that, we safely passed the qualifying round.

And obtained the right to participate in the main tournament.
