End of the first match

"WHEN-COULD-YOU-DO-THAT!!"

"I'LL-TELL-YOU-IF-YOU-STOP-SHAKING-ME!"

Lena was currently shaking Mila to tell her how she did that spell.

Lena stopped shaking Mila, and when Mila got rid of dizziness, she saw the others staring at her with eyes of admiration. The only person that wasn't surprised by Mila's power was the Sect Leader. She already knew of Mila's strength for a long time, and what she showcased was within her expectations.

Mila told everyone that 'Judgement of heaven' was one of the spells that came with her 'Blood Form' with Iron Maiden. She told everyone she was tired, and they let her rest; she sat next to Adonis. When she looked at Adonis, his look was filled with curiosity about her spell.

"You're only allowed to ask me one question, Adonis."

"Why didn't you use that spell against me during our fight?"

"Two reasons: 1. I was holding back. 2. Even if I did use it, it would be useless against you."

"Why?"

"I said you could only ask one question."

"Please, Mila, tell me more!" Adonis persisted with a curious and determined gleam in his eyes.

Mila was too tired to deal with Adonis's persistence and decided to tell him.

"Judgement of Heaven is a move that makes a verdict for a person based on the things they did and their reasons. Jack was vain and lustful, he even harmed other people to get closer to me, so the angel found him guilty and struck down his evil."

Adonis was listening intently and had more questions pop up in his head, but he decided to let Mila rest and ask later.

Lena told Mila "Hey, there is a bed in the next room over."

Mila was about to go lay down, but stopped and looked at the couple.

"You haven't used the bed for...other things, right?"

"No? What do you mean?" Adonis obliviously said.

"Good, I'll use it then."

Adonis looked at Mila walking away with confusion in his eyes, Lena realized what Mila was talking about and was embarrassed.

'She must've heard or accidentally seen us doing it...'

Lena shook away the thought and cuddled up to Adonis.

'Whatever, at least I can be close to-.'

"A-adonis..."

Madeline approached Adonis while trembling.

"Are you nervous, Madeline?"

"Y-yeah..."

"If it's about your stage fright, then just remember the advice I gave Jewel."

"N-no, it's about Mila's performance."

Adonis was a bit confused until Madeline told that she felt like her fights will be boring in comparison as she is the next person up.

However, Adonis gave perfect advice.

"It's a fight, not a play."

"?"

"In a fight, how entertaining it is doesn't matter. The crowd's opinion means nothing in this tournament, all that matters is that you win, all right?"

"Y-yes! Thank you, Adonis."

"No problem, happy to help." Adonis gave a gentle smile to Madeline.

Madeline saw it and turned around quickly, but Lena saw her ears turn red.

"...Hey, Adonis..."

Adonis felt Lena giving off an ominous presence.

"You seem to know how to only get along with girls well, huh?"

Adonis look and saw Lena's blank stare, he flinched slightly at the sight.

"L-Lena, c'mon, it's not like I have any ulterior motive."

"I'm not worried about you falling for another girl, I'm worried about the girls that will fall for you."

"Huh?"

Lena proceeded to explain how not only is Adonis handsome, but he also has a gentle and kind personality that could make anyone fall for him if they saw that side of his. She was convinced that he could make a harem with ease or become a gigolo.

"Ok, I get it; I'm very attractive..."

"Glad you know."

Adonis looked at Lena's face and sighed; he patted her head.

"As long as we're together, if you don't wish for it, you will be my one and only, so don't worry, okay?" Adonis said gently.

Lena's face burned up at this, and she buried her face in Adonis's arm. It created an adorable scene of the couple, where the girls sighed at this, and the guys felt an increasing jealousy.

Anyways, Madeline, with her training, was able to beat 4 disciples of the Mountain Sky Sect before retreating as she was running low on mana. The Green Valley Sect then sent Klein out to finish the job.

Klein's training consisted of eating, being beaten up by Adonis, meditation, being beaten up by Adonis, sword practice, being beaten up by Adonis, and sleeping. For any normal person, they would question how this training was helping him, and here's the answer: Klein was trying to hit Adonis for days on end and so he gained a couple of new skills with that, to better his chances of hitting him.

1. Awareness: His awareness of his surroundings and opponents grew, as he could now predict where his opponent was, even if they escaped his field of vision.

2. Durability: The Sky-Grade Protection Artifact given to all contestants had a function, where the barrier that protected them was equal to their natural durability so that the fights could become more realistic. After being beaten up by Adonis constantly, his durability was higher than anyone else on the team, so he could tank heavy hits from his opponents without worrying that his barrier will break.

With these new skills, he was able to defeat the remaining three disciples and win the match for the Green Valley Sect.

The Sect celebrated their victory against their rivals, so they went out to eat at a high-class restaurant and returned to their hotels after.

Adonis went back to his room with Lena and Lena was snuggling up against him, while he read the tournament bracket.

While he was reading, he saw that the Templar Sect was fighting on the fourth day. He thought back to his brother and knew that this was his chance to know how strong his brother was after not seeing him for years.

Adonis looked at Lena and said, "Hey, Lena, will go with me to this match?"

Lena looked at the match and saw 'Templar Vs Halo'.

Lena knew Adonis's brother was in the Templar sect and couldn't help but feel sorry for Adonis, as she thought he was going through a turmoil of emotions when it comes to his family.

"Yeah, of course, I'll go with you!" Lena didn't want Adonis to go see his brother alone.
