Chapter 50

The owl flying in the sky raises its voice .

I have confirmed the destruction of Kurts demon sword . The winner of the first match is Arnos Voldigod!

The auditorium falls silent . I guess most of them are royalty . Looks like theres no recognition for a mixed-race who doesnt technically even qualify for participation .

I turn around and start returning to the waiting room just as a voice is raised from the corner of the auditorium .

As expected of Arnos-chan!! Hes a genius!!

Well done Arnos! This will be an easy victory for you!!

Its the voices of my parents .

Encouraged by my parents the voices of the mixed-bloods rise up in cheer .

What should we do!? The match finished before we could sing our cheer song!

Arnos-sama is so strong we might not get a chance to sing at all!

Lets sing now!

About what? Hes already won . Its a support song . What are we supporting!?

We can use support song No . 2 [The noble Arnos-samas honourable sword]

Are you listening to me!?

Jyanjyanjyanjyanjyan

. Fine . It cant be helped . Lets celebrate the victory of Arnos-sama!

The sound of drums and wind instruments brought by the fan union start to play out .

I am the top and you are the bottom

Shuu shuushuushuu instant death Fuuhaaaaa

I am the top and you are the bottom

La lalalalala easy victory Uuuahaaaa

The noble Arnos-samas gift

Women dancing on the bed are his trophies

Arnos-sama put it in Make them pregnant with magical power

Strong man in one shot

Pregnant Pregnant Pregnant

I am the top and you are the bottom

Byuu Dobyuubyuu, instant kill Fuahaaa (1)

I am the top and you are the bottom

Ahh, aaahan relief Uuahaaa

Hey, struggle Accept it in

It didnt rhyme and the vibrato was useless, however, it was kind of exciting as I watched the humiliated faces of the royals as the song was sung . It was the final coating of shame applied to them after I overwhelmingly showed off my abilities .

Also, I doubt they factored into their calculations that I had a song made for me purely to make fun of the enemy . My fan union might actually have a rare talent .

After leaving the arena I left the waiting room and headed to the audience seats .

Unun thats it . I think these lyrics are good too . Listen to this .

I hear my mothers voice as I enter the seating area .

Eat Arnos-chans honourable sword and be conquered The sword tip jumps ahead Dye it pure white Jyuu jyuujyuujyuu, violation Ahaa ufuuu (2)

Fumu . What awful lyrics, however, my fan union are looking at my mother with total respect .

As expected of Arnos-samas mother!

Amazing! Its amazing! Its the first time Ive heard such a beautiful singing voice!

Un unn! The lyrics are bold but delicate and clearly represent the surging heart of Arnos-sama . Tears have come out!

Uhh*sniffle* Im deeply moved

The fan union seems to be deeply impressed .

Wheres the moving element in those lyrics? I dont understand it at all . Is this what happens with a 2000 year gap?

Honoured mother, if you have the time would you please visit the fan union as an outside lecturer . Please give us special singing training!

Me too! Please visit us!

The fan union all lower their heads at the same time .

Fumu . I have a very bad feeling about this . If I dont stop it here Im sure difficulties will arise later .

Sorry, but my mother is usually very busy .

AArnos-sama! Kyaaa!!

The entire fan union retreated 3 steps down and bowed while still screaming .

kya kyaa! If Arnos-sama says so kyaa!!

Im sorry for being so impudent . Kyaa!

Make a noise or bow . Pick one . I dont want both .

Its fine Arnos-chan . The shop is closed sometimes . May I visit when Im free?

With pleasure! Thank you! We did it!

The fan union is shaking hands with my mother .

My mother is smiling in a meaningful way while Im filled with a vague feeling of uneasiness .

Leave it to your mother Arnos-chan . With this, I can be at school with you sometimes as well .

. .

Fumu . Mother . Is she going to lay the groundwork so its easy to come out with Ray? I need to stop this . I cant trust the expression on her face .

Lets begin the second match . Appearing on the stage is Madra Shenson from the Einas sword school!

A man steps onto the stage . His whole body is covered in scars and he looks like a beast .

. That person . Isnt that Madra of the gale? Hes Deiruhidos fastest swordsmanWasnt he the runner up in the last tournament?

Aah . . Hes changed a lot .

He said hed do anything to avenge his loss to Kurt . It seems that he went to the underground labyrinth of Goranuhelia .

The labyrinth of Goranuhelia!? Its said that even getting past the first floor is difficult .

Aah . Rumour has it that he spent 200 years in there and reached the 250th floor .

. . That . thats not sane . .

This is what happens when someone drives themselves insane and seek only strength . In this area, he has surpassed Kurt .

Hou . The underground labyrinth of Goranuhelia? How nostalgic . I remember wondering how deep it was and headed for the bottom floor . Turns out it has 2500 floors .

The owls voice rings out again .

Next up is a member of the Lognoss demon sword association, Ray Grandori!!

Ray was a member of the Lognoss demon sword association?

Ray Grandori . the demonic sword saint huh?

Aah, one of the chaos generation .

Its a good matchup for the second round but Madra will win .

If Ray had even 50 years more experience it would be a hard match to call but as it stands their experience is too different .

Was the demonic sword saint a member of the Lognoss demon sword association though?

Ray steps into the arena .

The demon sword hes using is Initeio . Thats the sword he lent Misa . It can cut through magic formations .

Second match of the first round, begin!!

The signal sounds out and Madra and Ray walk towards each other .

The moment they entered sword range they stopped .

Withdraw . Madra says in a serious voice

Im good .

As usual, Ray had a refreshing smile on his face .

Im not threatening you . You may have heard of the demonic wind sword Refresia . Once drawn it becomes a gale . I will wait three seconds for you to withdraw . If you dont, you will die .

Madra scowls at Ray .

Three .

Ray doesnt move .

Two .

Ray still doesnt move .

One .

Madra puts his hand on the hilt of his sword .

Die .

The demon sword was drawn in a lighting quick action and flashed towards Rays neck .

Wha

Madra is surprised .

Instead of cutting Rays neck his sword was broken instead .

Bits of sword sprinkled against Rays neck but the rest was gone .

When . I drew my sword?

Rays sword is still in its sheath .

After you drew it .

. You drew after me yet you are faster than my demon sword Refresia of the wind . .

The moment Ray drew his sword and then sheathed it was not even registered by Madras eyes .

Ray smiles .

My friend was much faster than you using only a tree branch .

A tree . branch . . ?

Ray turns his back since the winner is determined .

The destruction of Madras sword has been confirmed . The winner of the second match of the first round is Ray Grandori!!

The cheers of the crowd was full of surprise .

Amazing . That Madra was done in an instant .

Did anybody see him draw his sword? I didnt see anything at all!

I wondered what was going to happen after Kurt was defeated but there are some reliable royals after all .

Aah . He is one of the chaos generation . He might even be the demon king of tyranny .

The girl standing behind me stares at Rays back with a sad expression .

Well, the Lognoss demon sword association is a royal group after all .

I wonder why Ray belongs to them?

Are you worried Misa?

She nods .

Shall we go and ask .

Eh . ?

Come . Ask him directly and confirm it yourself .

Misa followed me as I started walking .
