That’s Against the Rules

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

“““Wha…?””” (Contestants)

Since multiple people compete for one slot, the usual strategy would be to cooperate and take down strong opponents first. Most of the contestants on the stage saw Antonio as the strongest enemy and were about to attack him all at once. However, before they could do so, the beastkin child approached with a superhuman speed and even blew Antonio’s large body away.

Seeing such an unbelievable sight and losing their target, they froze on the spot as if time had stopped, caught in confusion.

“Ei!” (Arc)

“Gah!?” (Contestant A)

“““This kid…!””” (Contestants)

They finally came to their senses after one of them was attacked by Arc. Judging that he was no ordinary child, they quickly surrounded Arc with caution. However…

“Toa!” (Arc)

“Bugo!?” (Contestant B)

“Tei!” (Arc)

“Gya!” (Contestant C)

“N!” (Arc)

“Boha!?” (Contestant D)

They couldn’t keep up with Arc’s movements at all, and one after another, they were hit by his attacks and fell.

“…Weak?” (Arc)

On the other hand, Arc tilted his head. He thought the opponents would be stronger because they were much older and it was a tournament where only skilled people gathered.

(Hmm, that’s strange…?) (Leon)

Leon, who was watching from the side of the stage, thought the same.

(Hmm, maybe it’s just the beginning of the preliminaries? Surely, they won’t keep winning this easily…) (Leon)

Before long, Arc was the only one standing on the stage. This meant he had secured his place in the preliminary tournament of the first block.

“Seriously… that kid actually won.” (Spectator A)

“Losing to a kid, pathetic.” (Spectator B)

“But can you keep up with that movement?” (Spectator C)

“Of course not.” (Spectator D)

As the audience murmured, Arc returned.

“It’s over.” (Arc)

“Y-Yeah. You did well.” (Leon)

“They were weak.” (Arc)

He looked disappointed, as if he felt incomplete since the match ended too quickly.

“Don’t worry, you should face stronger opponents soon.” (Leon)

“Yeah!” (Arc)

“…Probably.” (Leon)

After the first block was narrowed down to four people, the tournament moved on to the second block preliminaries. Arc waited for a while.

“I’ll do my best.” (Irc)

Soon, it was time for the third block preliminaries, meaning Iris’s turn. Perhaps because of the earlier incident, the moment Iris stepped onto the stage, the audience began to buzz.

“Hey, isn’t that the beastkin brat from earlier?” (Spectator E)

“No, look closely. It’s a girl.” (Spectator F)

“Then are they siblings?” (Spectator G)

Among them, a man who glared at Iris with sharp eyes stepped onto the stage. It was Antonio’s younger brother, Otonio.

“Aniki lost because he was careless, but I won’t go down that easily.” (Otonio)

“Yeah.” (Iris)

“I’ll take you down and avenge Aniki.” (Otonio)

Otonio showed his fighting spirit toward Iris. Unlike his brother, his weapon was a large sword that seemed to have a blade over two meters long.

“Then, let the match begin!” (Announcer)

“Horaaa!” (Otonio)

At the signal, Otonio charged at Iris with a roar, the opposite of before. He unleashed a powerful slash. But Iris perfectly anticipated it, ducked to avoid, and immediately counterattacked with a punch to Otonio.

“Buh!?” (Otonio)

The blow struck Otonio’s face squarely, making him look up at the sky. His eyes rolled back momentarily, and blood spurted from his nose, but his spirit won out, and despite the damage, he grabbed Iris’s arm with one hand.

“Heh, if I catch you, I got you–…” (Otonio)

At that moment, Iris wrapped her leg around Otonio’s thick arm. She applied force, bending his arm in the opposite direction,

*Crack!*

“Ughhhhh!?” (Otonio)

Otonio let out a wordless scream. His face twisted in pain, and he staggered. Iris mercilessly pressed the attack.

*Boko bako beko bako*

“Hii, stop already! I lose!” (Otonio)

Beaten by punches and kicks from Iris, Otonio declared defeat. Acknowledging defeat meant he was eliminated on the spot, and by the rules, no further attacks were allowed.

“Yeah.” (Iris)

Iris respected that and immediately headed toward the next opponent. However…

“…Don’t get cocky, you damn brat!” (Otonio)

Just as she turned her back, the supposedly eliminated Otonio raised his great sword. The audience held their breath as the heavy blade swung down toward Iris.

*Whoosh!*

“…What?” (Otonio)

Otonio’s surprise attack missed the target. Without even looking back, Iris threw her body just in time and dodged.

(You shouldn’t underestimate the keen instincts of beastkin.) (Leon)

With such a strong killing intent, it was clear even without looking. Leon was ready to intervene if anything happened, but now he felt no need at all.

“Otonio-san! That’s against the rules! Please step down from the stage immediately!” (Staff)

“Shut up! After getting beaten like this, I’m not backing down quietly!” (Otonio)

The staff warned him, but Otonio did not comply and instead prepared his sword again. However, a stone flew from somewhere and struck him on the back of the head.

“Ah…?” (Otonio)

Otonio collapsed unconscious on the stage. The staff hurriedly dragged him off the stage.

“If you’re a mercenary, you should know when to quit.” (Leon)

Leon, the one who threw the stone, muttered as he watched the unconscious Otonio being taken away.
