While we chatted like this. Before we knew it, the competition had started.

People’s cheers could be heard.

Judging by the noise, it seems like a lot of spectators have come.

Well, that’s obvious.

After all, the fights between the losers are the most fun.

In fact, the first-year tournament, and especially the matches between the weakest students in the Royal Academy, is a popular competition.

Of course, the match between me and Jenny won’t be that interesting.

“Looks like a lot of people came.”

“Of course. The fights between the losers are the most fun.”

Jenny nods at my words.

While we’re chatting for a moment, Franchi next to us looks at us with a stiff face, trembling his legs. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ N0ᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“Aren’t you nervous?”

“Huh? Well, a little, but not really that nervous.”

“To be honest, there’s no loss if we lose, right?”

“W-well, yes.”

Franchi stammers at Jenny’s words and nods at us.

At that moment, William, a professor at the academy, opens the waiting room door and calls Jenny and Henry, two participants.

Jenny stands up from her seat, patting her knees, and walks out of the waiting room with light steps.

“Kane. If you get intimidated by my skills, you can run away and I won’t make a fun of you. That way, I can win comfortably.”

“Yeah. Get lost.”

I raised my middle finger in response to her answer and looked forward to the upcoming match.

Jenny and Henry appear in the arena.

After listening to William’s rules, the two of them nod their heads.

Then, they put on their protective suits and distanced themselves from each other.

Judging by the gauge on their suits, it seems that the game will be considered a loss if it reaches 0.

In the game, there was just HP.

Well, reality and games are different after all.

While I was thinking about that for a moment, the other participants were discussing who would win.

“Hey, who do you think will win?”

“What, ask me? Of course it’s Jenny.”

“But, I heard Henry has improved a lot lately?”

“Oh really? Then I’m not sure again. Henry was originally one of the top performers.”

The participants exchanged such words and began to focus on the duel between the two.

It seems that this guy Henry is a skilled person among his peers.

I didn’t even know who he was in the game, but he seems to be a famous person among his peers.

Well, there must be a reason why he’s an extra.

To be honest, I can guess that Henry’s skills are only so-so even if he goes wild and crawls among his peers.

The extra may be strong, but…

As I thought about that, I turned my gaze to the arena.

-Kaboom!

Sure enough, Jenny was indiscriminately beating Henry.

Wait, but is this really a fair duel?

Sure, if there is a big difference in skill, it is natural for one side to win easily. but looking at the duel in front of me, it’s not an exaggeration to say that Jenny is just beating Henry and even trampling him.

Is he just here to relieve stress?

Meanwhile, in the audience, Eileen was covering her face with both hands as she watched Jenny’s match.

“Eileen, wasn’t Jenny close to you?”

“I-I don’t know that kind of person, Skaya.”

Eileen’s cheeks turned red with embarrassment at Jenny’s thug-like behavior.

The two of them felt ashamed of Jenny’s actions for no apparent reason.

“Jenny, stop it. Enough.”

William stopped Jenny’s legitimate(?) assault.

After the match, Jenny scanned the audience with a face that seemed to release some stress after a long time.

The two of them covered their faces with their hands, thinking that Jenny might spot them.

However, Jenny had exceptional insight and immediately noticed them.

She waved her hand and shouted in a loud voice.

“Eileen! Skaya! How was my match?”

All the surrounding spectators looked at the two of them because of her shout.

Skaya mumbled with a face as red as the sunset.

“Eileen, am I the only one embarrassed?”

“No, I am also ashamed.”

The two of them lowered their heads, pretending not to hear Jenny’s shout.

Jenny smiled slyly at their reaction and shouted louder.

“Those two covering their faces right now are the participants of the Royal Tournament!! Please remember them!!”

With that, Jenny entered the waiting room for the participants.

The two of them were trembling with embarrassment, vowing to take revenge on Jenny later.

Meanwhile, around that time, I and Dylan, the next contestant, were getting ready to go out.

As I was stretching and preparing, Dylan smiled sinisterly and said to me.

“You’re lucky. I can trample on you from the beginning.”

“…”

I deliberately ignored his words to piss him off, and veins popped on Dylan’s forehead, making his fierce impression even more intense.

He looked at me and said it with a voice full of hostility.

“You shouldn’t think that the match is safe. If you take more damage than the gauge limit, you’ll get injured.”

“Oh? Really? That’s fortunate.”

“……What?”

Looks like there will be one more casualty (eunuch) today.
