(POV Alexander)

… After Chikage misinterpreted my message for that man, my relationship with her now seemed to become more and more distant. Also, it didn't help that just then that guy regained his consciousness and started screaming from the pain in his arm... it actually seemed painful with several of his fingers placed in positions that normally they can't do... I had to knock him unconscious another time to try to fix that.

Well, I'm sure he will recover without any problems in the future. I gave him a high-ranking pill to treat his wounds, and also one to restore his damaged meridians. Who knows, even this could help his soul level to rise.

…The only problem is that even though I tried to explain things to Chikage-chan, she maybe thought I was only torturing him more by knocking him unconscious and making him swallow the pills by force. Also, when the guy started excreting a black liquid from his body, I think she passed out… she probably thought I wanted to poison him and finish him off.

That's what happens when you try to be a good person...

In the end, I asked Ogata and Kushinada for help to get him off the island we were on. It would be problematic that when he gets up he tries again to fight his hated enemy who before had not stopped laughing to see our fight... since I end up involved in this, I should do things completely and save his life by making him avoiding that fight.

…I just hope Chikage-chan doesn't think I was getting rid of the evidence at doing this.

Not long after my fight, everyone who had made it to the next round gets together. It was a surprise that most of the other guys who came with me ended up passing too... although, that probably has to do with my great "help" when we fought to practice.

Furthermore, without much surprise, people like Yami's disciples, the bald guy with a level 2 soul, and the old man also ended up moving on to the next round. Well, I think those who had to fight the old man can only blame their bad luck for that...

Although… not everything was positive. In the preliminaries, Judo- kun had his arm broken during that time. Also, the person who did it seemed like he was a mercenary who was quite ruthless and his reason for doing this was for fun.

Thanks to that, that guy earned the animosity of all the other guys in the Shinpaku alliance and the Ryozanpaku. They vowed to avenge their friend in the next round if they came up against that person. As for Judo- kun, the truth is that his injuries weren't that serious and a few low-rank pills would be enough for him to recover in a few days.

So in the next round it was a team-round and those who were victorious from the previous fights met again with the teams that had been formed from the beginning. With Judo- kun's defeat, my group now only consisted of four members, myself, Tanimoto, Sigfried, and Freya.

At this stage, each team would fight against 3 others and with two victories would advance to the next round.

I think we were quite lucky this time and the three teams we faced were made up of disciples of other Masters participating in the tournament who came on their own hoping to win the prize or show off their skills.

…Speaking of which, this tournament had a big cash prize as an incentive for it to attract most of the people here. I Just ignore it as it had no meaning to me. Although... I can't say the same about the Ryozanpaku guys... it seemed like the pressure they were putting on Kenichi to win was not small.

Another in the same situation was Boxer- kun… Shibata's eyes were shining when he found out about this. The good thing for this one is that when I told his teacher that this money did not make sense in the place where I intended to take him, he was no longer interested.

"W- Whaa..."

" Pleash shtop…. ( Please stop...) "

"... I-I shu-shullenduer ... (... I give up ) "

" Ahh!!!"

" Sh-Shoneibe... Shtop hi-him!! ( Someone... stop him !!) "

"What's up, I think some of you can still stand up~"

We had already defeated the previous two groups. Or to be more precise, Tanimoto took care of the first one on his own in a one-on-one fight, and Sigfried and Freya the next in a free-for-all fight where we only sent those two.

…Although, I think that just Sigfried would have been enough. Only, since Freya knew that she would not participate in the next fight, she insisted on helping the boy and friend of his boyfriend Thor.

As for why she would not participate in the next fight against the other team, it was because it was the group made up of mercenaries where the man who broke Judo- kun's arm was. When we saw that they would be our opponents in the 3rd fight of this stage, I decided that I would take care of them.

…What can I say, maybe they infected me a bit and I wanted to avenge Judo-kun. Well... the truth is that it is rather that I do not like that other people mistreat others who are by my side... I feel that they will not take me into account when someone does that!

Also, although I was confident that Tanimoto or the others could take care of these mercenaries, when a person is cornered it is impossible to know what they would do. If they concealed some weapon and it caught the boys off guard, it would be bad enough.

So I decided to fight them. After asking for it to be a 1vs5 fight, the guy from Yami who had been commenting on some fights that he found interesting, accepted my suggestion without any problem.

It was not as if he accepted because for them I was part of the Ryozanpaku group and wanted me to be at a disadvantage... although many have complained about his random rules, that man with a wrestling style mask seemed simple enough. As long as something seemed interesting to him, he would not complain about that.

On the other hand, I thought my suggestion would piss off those guys by being underestimated or despised, but… it seemed that as long as things were to their advantage, they wouldn't complain or blame for this. Also, if they were unhappy about this, it was obvious that they intended to vent during the fight.

They looked like a bunch of sadistic guys… the instant we stepped into the ring, they all grabbed their knives or other weapons they were familiar with. There was even a guy who with a rather perverted look was watching me while licking his knife... I've always wanted to see a guy doing that cut his tongue for an idiot.

Well, as I said, I did not want to give them time to do something unexpected and, for that reason, I started attacking them with all my skills from the moment the referee indicated the start of the fight.

"A-Alexander- kun... I-I think that's enough"

"H-Hyaa!! A-Are they still alive?

...T-There are some who don't move."

"S-So cruel ..."

"W-Well… those guys weren't good people either. They had hurt the judo boy from before for fun, remember? "

…The result of this is that now those men were on the ground with their arms and legs broken… they even had their jaws shattered without many of their teeth as they should now be scattered around the ring.

I wanted to avenge Judo- kun a bit, so one of my goals was to make them unable to utter words to surrender... but seeing how the three who participated as disciples of Ryozanpaku and Izumi-san who had come more as a support for them came here probably attracted by others who also approached due to the screams of the mercenaries and now Miu-chan tries to stop me by yelling at me from below the ring, I think I overdid myself a little.

…I think it was a bit excessive to use the [Futae no Kawami] technique to break their jaws... and also fill them with holes in their bodies by the same technique that the guy I fought with in the preliminaries used and Ogata had taught me.

As long as you are the person using it, I really don't feel like there is a problem… at least it didn't feel strange to implement it on a person.

"…Does this already count as our victory? Or do I have to knock them unconscious? "

"" Plesh shtop... "" (Please stop...)

"E-Eh? I-It's enough...

T-The winner is the group of the red-haired boy "

Well, seeing how those men with tears in their eyes and with several of their limbs turned in the wrong directions beg me, and also by the look of the other boys, I decide that it was already enough payment for what they had done and so I ask him to the referee who was petrified in the place.

…I thought that since they couldn't articulate words properly so the referee didn't take their surrenders into account, but… it seems like it was more because he was completely absorbed in observing everything that was happening here. Man… you should have announced the end of the fight much earlier, you know? That way I think I would have stopped before it all ended this way.

Also, it is not a bit cruel that all the boys seemed to want revenge but now that I do their looks are a little strong against me? Where is all that resentment they had before? Now they look at those men even with a little pity!

No… maybe I can't blame them for that. The scene itself was quite bloody... without a doubt, these mercenaries now seemed more like a poor victim of something inhuman than instead of the bad guys... and the worst thing is that that analogy was not far from reality.

Anyway... ever since I set foot on Gaia and learned what the world was like there, I swore not to have mercy on people who were my enemies. I prefer 100 times that they are the ones who suffer than the people next to me.

…Due to taking my time torturing… teaching those mercenaries a lesson, it seems our group was the last to qualify for the next round. When I asked the referee what was next after this, he replied that for today it would be everything.

Tomorrow the tournament would continue and, apparently, the group stage was finished now. Of all the groups that made it to the next round, they will be disintegrated and each one will fight on their own this time. Now things seemed to take a form more like a martial arts tournament.

With nothing else to do until the tournament's fighting blocks are announced tomorrow, we all decided to explore the island a bit and have a little fun. After all, this place acted like a very luxurious resort that most of the people in our group couldn't visit.

…For my part, I just didn't want to think about the possibility of having to fight the old man tomorrow. It was better to get that thought out of my mind as much as possible.

Sadly, it wasn't quite possible to do that by having him aside when I was trying to have fun with Miu-chan, Renka -chan, and Shigure!

Seriously, does he think there is a difference between wearing a mask or not? While wearing a mask is a better disguise than just changing your hairstyle a little and putting on glasses to try to hide your identity... when your presence stands out too much it is just as useless.

Well, I wasn't the only one who felt the pressure of having to fight this old man. Kenichi was just as depressed as I was when he saw him sign up for the tournament.

Curse! At first I thought that the system had given a very high rank to this mission when I first saw it, but now I feel that having to defeat the old man does not fit with something classified only as rank [G]!!

I just hope that the history of this world will not change and it is Kenichi who has to fight against that old man and after that, he will retire.

Well…now the problem is that every time I tried to play a bit of Miu-chan and take a little advantage of her, I felt the strong gaze of the old man. I don't know why, but… I feel like the reason he signed up for the tournament is to be able to hit me!!

… I really hope that's just my imagination!!!
