One man army

"Now, it is the time we have been waiting for!"

"Everyone must have been waiting for this moment!"

"That's right! The Jie Long Tournament is about to start!"

"OOOOOOOOH!"

The audience's cheers echoed through the venue when they heard the voices of the two MCs.

"With that said, we have another surprise here!"

"That's right! It seems that someone from the other school is joining our tournament!"

"Wait, which school uniform is that?"

"I am not sure."

"You don't know either?"

"Let me check it... Let's see... Oh, it is a rather famous aristocratic school in Tokyo!"

"Wait! Wait! Do you mean that he comes from a normal school?"

"That seems to be the case."

Everyone who heard the conversation of the MCs couldn't help but feel surprised.

An aristrocatic school?

Wasn't he a Genestellar?

In this world, Genestellar was the minority, so they were discriminated against.

Yet, how could Tamazuki enter an aristocratic school where most students were normal humans?

---

"Did you know that, Onee-chan?" Priscilla asked curiously.

"No, I don't know." Irene suddenly became gloomy since she realized she knew nothing about him except for his immense size, fantastic technique, and outrageous stamina. To be honest, except for his name, she didn't know much about his identity, which made her helpless.

"But it is amazing!" Priscilla was surprised. "But I somehow don't feel surprised that he comes from an aristocratic school."

"That's true..."

The way he conducted himself when he ate, read, and everything about him was just different from ordinary people, yet what they liked about him was that he had never treated them differently, and staying by his side just gave them a feeling that they couldn't describe themselves.

Still, the only thing they felt reluctant about was that after this tournament, it would be hard for them to monopolize him by themselves.

After all, it was not only them who could feel something extraordinary about him.

The others were the same.

His aura was just stable like he was in harmony with nature.

Even if he was surrounded by many students of Jie Long, it didn't seem strange. Instead, he was strangely fit, as if this was how his position was.

However, the students of the Jie Long who participated in this tournament didn't have the same interest in Tamazuki. Instead, they took his participation as a provocation, and without a doubt, all of them would try to become his obstacle in this tournament.

Similar to the others, Xinglou and Hufeng also stared at Tamazuki from the VIP-watching area at the venue.

"He is strong. Unfortunately, he definitely won't be able to do anything in this tournament." Hufeng's expression became dignified when he saw Tamazuki. Even though Tamazuki wore a uniform from a different school, he wouldn't look down on him, especially when he could see how calm he was and his way of bringing. Yet, he couldn't imagine that Tamazuki could win this tournament.

"What do you think, Master? Master?"

He felt confused that Xinglou didn't answer him, but he was dumbfounded when he saw her expression. "Ma-Master?" He was almost overwhelmed and seemed to be scared by her expression.

Xinglou's expression was like a bloodthirsty beast that found the most delicious prey. As of now, what she wanted to do was just to put her fangs into her prey, eating him as she will.

'No! No! I need to be patient.'

She tried to calm herself as she calmed herself but to be honest, she wanted to jump on the stage and fight him, yet when she saw him look in her direction and smile, she also smiled.

"Ah, I can tell that this tournament will be interesting!"

"Re-Really?"

"Of course!" She pressed her face against the glasses, staring at him intently. "When this tournament is over, I will ask him to become my protegee and learn under me!"

"Eh?"

Hufeng was surprised, but he also didn't feel surprised, and he only thought that it was Tamazuki's honor to learn under Xinglou.

Naturally, those who weren't at the venue could watch the tournament on television since it was broadcast live.

"Now, let us not waste our time anymore!"

"While I am sure that you all know about the rules, let us explain the rules of the tournament. The rules are simple. Anyone who is thrown off the stage will be eliminated. In other words, it is a battle royal with hundreds of participants!"

Everyone became excited when they heard the explanation, which was why the Jie Long tournament was popular; it was so wild!

All the participants would fight each other.

Everyone was the enemy.

It was a tournament where the strong would win!

Still, with the number of participants, the match would be divided into eight matches, and with each of the eight matches, two participants would be chosen for the next stage.

However, even so, the students from the other schools had the disadvantage since, without a doubt, they would be targeted by the students of the Jie Long since it was their turf.

Meanwhile, the students of Jie Long were able to group up together and ally themselves to defeat most of the participants before deciding how to settle who would step into the next steps.

That said, the students from the other schools would naturally have a disadvantage since all the students of the Jie Long would target them. Even if they came with ten people, they would be targeted by forty people since, for each match, there would be fifty participants.

In other words, Tamazuki, who was alone, would have needed to face 49 Jie Long students since he was alone.

If his opponents were just regular people, then it would be easy.

However, all of his opponents were Genestellar. It wouldn't be weird to call themselves a monster since they could run matching the car's speed easily or super strength, which enabled them to lift a heavy thing as if it was a chopstick.

More importantly, Jie Long Seventh Institute was a famous school that took the utmost importance of strength. Individual strength was the most important thing in this school, and this was why everyone trained to death with tears and blood, so they could become stronger.

This was why coming to this tournament as a student from another school, and even alone, was simply a suicide.

"Now, we have explained the rules! Let us start the match!"

"THE FIRST MATCH BEGINS!"

Without hesitation, all the students nearby went to target Tamazuki.

Tamazuki, as an outsider, was the target of everyone.

"Ah, it's over."

"It hasn't even been a minute!"

"But who can win against all of that, right?

No one was optimistic about Tamazuki, especially when he was targeted by many people. Instead, they thought that it was already over for him.

"Onee-chan!" Priscilla was scared.

"Ca-Calm down...!"

However, Irene was far from calm.

Yet, out of their expectation, the first person who attacked him was thrown off the stage.

"Eh?"

The student was dumbfounded as he flew into midair and was thrown off the stage.

However, this wasn't the end since the second, third, fourth, and even fifth students were all thrown out by him.

Tamazuki stood at the edge, at the corner of the stage; with one push, he would be thrown out, yet why was the one who was thrown out of the stage, were all those who had attacked him?

"S-Strong!"

"Who is he?"

"I don't know!"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The rest of the Jie Long students were even more so, but they didn't think that Tamazuki would win, especially when all of them attacked him at the same time, like a swarm of bees that attacked the intruder of their home at the same time.

Yet...

It was meaningless.

Tamazuki was too strong.

Some were thrown. Some were smashed. Some passed out directly.

His figure was like a single reef facing a stormy wave.

No one could break him. Instead, all of them were torn apart by him.

Then, in the end, he was the only one that stood on the stage calmly, like an immovable mountain.

"......"

Everyone was quiet, and their eyes and mouths widened in a daze until the voice of the MC awakened them.

"The-There is only one standing! I-Inugamigyoubu Tamazuki won!"

When those words fell, the crowd exploded.
