Everything starts here

When Hans put his stance, the crowd was full of enthusiasm. It was like a rippling lake before turning into a huge wave.

However, when Tsukasa held his word, everyone turned quiet. It was as if the rippling lake before was non-existent and sliced apart by his blade.

While they didn't understand the reason, that feeling disappeared when the host shouted: "begin." They felt confused, but the match had started, so they decided to throw this matter aside, waiting for the match to fold.

However, while they understood there was something strange about Tsukasa, no one felt he would be able to win against Hans.

Even the Amazoness who wanted to mate with Tsukasa as soon as possible also didn't think he would be able to win against Hans. However, they must admit his solemn expression was so handsome it made them wet.

Hans felt the same, but he ignored it and charged forward toward Tsukasa. He was like a bull that was ready to hit his target anytime. His movement was unstoppable as he raised his ax, ready to chop him down.

However...

'So slow...'

Tsukasa had fought many people at a fast speed.

Whether it was Mikuni, Rito, or even K, who had fought in the previous world, they were all faster than Hans.

Tsukasa had also fought Mikuni when he hadn't become Exceed, only relying on his peak of human physical ability, so Hans was nothing for him. He didn't need to use his magic, ability, or even cripple his arm just to win against this dwarf since he believed he would win.

His swordsmanship had broken the human boundary, and it was also because of this that Hans didn't realize how huge the difference between them was.

Still, while his physical ability was at the peak of the human condition, Hans's physical ability was stronger than Tsukasa's.

Hans wasn't just a dwarf, a race known for its natural strength. He was also a Level 1 adventurer who had experience fighting the dungeon.

Still, it was hard to see the difference in power between adventurers.

However, Tsukasa also understood the situation of the adventures that received a blessing was quite similar to someone who was injected with Lukifer.

It might be strange for him to suddenly mention Lukifer when it had nothing to do with the blessing of the Gods or Goddess, but when one was either injected with Lukifer or received a blessing, each person would become stronger in a different direction.

One might gain a mighty strength, and the other might have a fast speed, etc.

As for Hans, Tsukasa could tell Hans's specialty was his strength and probably his endurance too.

While Tsukasa was in the middle of his observation, Hans chopped down his ax!

*BOOOOOM!*

The ground was splitter apart, and the rubble was scattered around.

However, Tsukasa could easily dodge Hans's attack and moved to his side.

Still, this movement caused Hans to snort in disdain.

If Tsukasa was either backdown or moved to the side of his shield, Hans would understand and would be surprised by his dodging ability.

However, Tsukasa was moving in the direction of his ax, and as long as he swept his ax, he could split him apart.

Not only Hans, but most people who saw this also thought the same.

Hans didn't waste his time and swept his ax to the side to attack Tsukasa!

However, his eyes were wide open when he saw a blade was on the trajectory where he swept his arm!

Hans sweated profusely and knew as long as he swept his ax with all of his power, his arm would be chopped down!

Hans felt Tsukasa was ingenious for placing such a sharp sword on the path where his arm would move, but he knew what he needed to do was halt his attack, or else his hand would be amputated.

Hans gritted his teeth when part of his arm was bleeding because of the blade, but he shouted and tried to save his arm!

When Tsukasa dodged to the side where Hans held his ax, he quickly stuck his sword on the ground right on the trajectory where Hans would swing his arm, so as long as Hans swept his ax, without a doubt, even if his hand wouldn't be chopped down, his arm would be bleeding hard.

Still, this strategy wouldn't work if his opponent wasn't Hans since Hans was a dwarf, and as a dwarf, he was short.

If Hans was as tall as an average human, it would be impossible for this move to be able to hurt Hans.

Unfortunately, Hans was a dwarf, so his fate was decided in this match.

Also, placing his sword on the path where Hans would sweep his arm wasn't as simple as it seemed since it needed precise accuracy to put his sword on the ground in just a moment of time, instantly, without Hans noticing.

Lastly, Tsukasa needed a good weapon since if his weapon was terrible, it wouldn't be able to stick to the ground.

Luckily, Tsukasa had the two of them, so his plan was successful.

While the quality of the weapon wasn't that good, with his skill, it was quite easy for him to stick his sword into the stone ground firmly.

Still, when Tsukasa thought calmly, there were many ways to defeat Hans, and he didn't need to use such a complicated method. After all, he could win by chopping Hans down, but since he had used this method, he decided to use it to the end.

However, Hans's response was better than Tsukasa imagined since he staggered and stopped his movement, forcing himself to roll forward so the wound on his arm wouldn't turn worse because of the blade.

Still, when Hans was thinking about how to dodge the sword, he forgot about Tsukasa.

When Hans stopped his movement, his temple and chin were struck by Tsukasa. He was in a daze, feeling his body weak, before letting go of his weapons to the ground. He couldn't maintain his feet and fell, feeling dizzy, but the cold feeling on his neck woke him up.

It was still hard for Hans to move, but he could move his neck slightly, looking at Tsukasa, who had placed his sword on his neck.

*Gulp!*

His piercing gaze caused his body to shudder, and he subconsciously gulped.

Still, Hans knew he had lost.

The host and the entire audience watched this scene in a daze since it hadn't been ten seconds since the match started, yet the fight had already ended.

However, the winner of this match wasn't Hans, but Tsukasa!

Shakti was also dumbfounded since she didn't expect Tsukasa would be so strong and witty!

"Do you still want to fight?" Tsukasa asked while looking at Hans.

"...no, you won." Hans showed a bitter smile and admitted he had lost.

Tsukasa pulled his sword and put it on the sheath again. Along with his movement, the host announced the result of the match. "The-The winner is Kugayama Tsukasa!!!!"

"OOOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!"

The whole arena was boiling, and they were full of excitement since they realized this might be the beginning of his legend!
