Opponents

"Woah, who is that guy?"

"Whoever he is, I hope he wins. I'm rooting for him."

"Man, to think that even monsters like him are participating. Even the preliminary contests go hard!"

Ordinary Martial Squires were not able to excite him anymore. This had already begun being true even before he began Project Metabody.

But now that he had completed it? He couldn't even pretend they were entertaining anymore.

When he looked into the eyes of those who sought to eliminate him with numbers, he knew he wouldn't lose despite the numeric disadvantage.

Those who returned his gaze also knew that.

And he knew that they knew.

And they knew that he knew that they knew.

That was why they retreated.
