"......."
Everyone was silent before the whole arena was engulfed in loud cheers!
"OOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!!"
They felt their bodies were hot, and they wanted to scream out loud!
Some of them thought of going to the dungeon when they walked out of this place.
On the other hand, the Amazoness group was already wet, and they just wanted to jump into the ring to get Tsukasa!
However, they held it since Shakti had always been staring at them like a hawk.
Still, when they thought the battle had already ended, no one expected Tsukasa to swing his blade at Rocky!
Rocky was full of dread, and he thought he was going to be killed. He was about to beg Tsukasa since he knew Tsukasa wasn't the good boy who everyone was thinking of. Instead, he was a beast that would hunt him down until he lost his breath.
However, when Rocky was about to beg, he felt the world seemed to be brighter. While he was confused about what had happened, the mask that he put on his face was sliced in half cleanly without causing any wound on his face.
"He-Hey, that person is...?!"
"Isn't this guy a famous scoundrel, Berak?!"
"Isn't that guy a Level 2 adventurer?!"
Every adventurer had their own name, and they were also quite famous on their own. After all, even though the Orario was big, it wasn't that big. Most people would know each other, considering they often spent their time in taverns or restaurants talking to each other. After all, there wasn't much entertainment besides sex and gambling. However, those two activities needed money, and when they didn't have much money, they could only talk while drinking alcohol.
Berak was also quite well-known for his bad reputation, and when his face was shown, everyone started to realize who he was.
"Bu-But that does mean..."
"He-Hey, are you kidding me?!"
"So-So someone who hasn't received a blessing can defeat a High-Class Adventurer?!"
Everyone gasped and almost couldn't believe what they saw.
The Amazoness thought of having his children later since they were sure having children from such a man would give them strong and healthy children!
Still, if Tsukasa knew what they were thinking, he could only escape since if they only wanted to have fun, he didn't mind, but if they wanted children...
"..." Tsukasa.
"Amazing..." Shakti was surprised. While she had expected Rocky, Berak, or whatever since she didn't really care, she didn't expect Tsukasa to be able to win!
Not only had Tsukasa won, but he had won thoroughly, without any wounds and unscathed.
Shakti could even see Tsukasa's breathing was still calm. While he hadn't received a blessing, she could tell he had trained his body to the peak of human limit. She wasn't sure how he was able to do this, but she must admit, he was strong and...
"..."
Shakti bit her lower lip.
"I admit he's amazing, but he isn't that amazing."
Shakti was surprised and looked at the goddess who sat next to her since she didn't expect her to say such a thing.
The goddess had long wavy golden honey-colored hair and orange eyes. Her boobs were so well-endowed and huge. She also had the charm of a mature woman.
If Tsukasa noticed her, without a doubt, he would forget about the group of Amazoness and walk toward the goddess.
Still, the goddess's appearance was slightly strange since her face flushed red, and she bit her lower lips while holding the hem of her skirt tightly, squeezing her thighs.
"Goddess-sama!" Shakti looked at the goddess with a hint of anxiety.
"You don't need to get nervous. After all, it would be hard for me to recruit him since he doesn't seem like someone who is interested in agriculture," the goddess said.
"Then, what do you mean by your words before, Goddess-sama?" Shakti asked curiously and also sighed in relief since she also understood this Goddess didn't have a chance to invite Tsukasa.
The goddess was kind and gentle, so she explained to Shakti carefully.
Unlike now, where there were many adventurers who received a blessing from the Gods and the Goddess to become stronger. However, in the past, when the Gods and the Goddess hadn't descended from heaven, humans needed to work hard to get stronger. Therefore, they didn't rely on the blessing but on their skill, observation, and many other things.
It was also the reason while the goddess was amazed by Tsukasa's ability, she didn't feel that much surprised since she had seen many strong humans without a blessing in the past.
Shakti nodded in understanding, and after she was satisfied with the goddess's explanation, she thought to invite Tsukasa to her Familia, but the commotion in the arena suddenly attracted her attention.
---
"Can you let me borrow that?" Tsukasa pointed to the microphone-like item in the host's hand.
After the host announced the winner, the bear-man was taken out of the arena, the host excitedly said Tsukasa's tale, but then he stopped when he heard Tsukasa's word. "You mean this item?" He pointed at the microphone-like in his hand.
"Yeah."
"Please."
The host gave the microphone to Tsukasa without hesitation.
Tsukasa took the microphone and looked at everyone before he shouted, "Everyone! Let me introduce myself! My name is Kugayama Tsukasa! I have never had a blessing before! You can even use the status thief if you don't believe me! Please remember this is the most important point!"
Everyone was in a daze when they heard Tsukasa's announcement.
"I have come to Orario City with only one purpose: that is to become a powerful adventurer! For this purpose, I must choose a strong Familia! Because of that, I am not interested in the weak Familia, so if you have confidence in your strength, please come to me!"
His voice reverberated throughout the arena, causing everything to be engulfed with loud cheers!
His deed was unprecedented since it was the first time for someone without a blessing to win against an adventurer, a Level 2 at that!
His swordsmanship was also so amazing that they didn't think the sword princess would be able to match him since they hadn't heard the sword princess was able to defeat a Level 2 adventurer when she didn't receive a blessing.
His appearance also had even exceeded the Gods. Without a doubt, they had a feeling the whole Orario would be full of his name, and he would become famous after this.
However, Shakti had a headache and sighed. "That kid..."
"Fufufu... many Gods and Goddesses will try to recruit him from now on," the goddess laughed happily before she stood up.
"Huh? Where are you going?" Shakti quickly asked when the goddess left, feeling anxious, wondering whether the goddess hadn't given up with the recruitment.
"I might not be able to recruit him, but I can be his first woman in this city." The goddess left with a cheerful laugh.
Shakti's lips twitched, and she wanted to say something, but she couldn't. She could only sigh and lament. 'If only my God is a Goddess...' However, it was impossible for her God to change his gender, and she knew her Familia had lost the first advantage.
Tsukasa didn't know what Shakti and the goddess were talking about since he had completed his purpose.
This was Tsukasa's purpose from the beginning since he wanted that strong Familias to know him and invite him, so he could get more resources, but suddenly he felt a shudder. He looked around before he looked in the direction of the tall tower in the middle of the Orario.
Tsukasa wasn't sure, but it felt similar to when Nene wanted to rape him in the past. He knew he couldn't stay any longer, so he decided to run without hesitation.
'What was that?' Tsukasa frowned, but he quickly forgot about the danger he felt since there was a beautiful goddess in front of him.
*Gulp!*
"......"
'Big!'
