“That Jin Grey fellow is incredible, but it’d be hard for the Runcandel provisional flag-bearer… Who are you betting on? Jin Grey? Or Paul Mick?”
“I’ht, I contacted the ht all of the money You should bet on Paul Mick too He’s a Runcandel A Runcandel! Who could beat a Runcandel when it coood point…”
Jin showed off his a sword skill, but the nobles in the audience were already certain that Dante was the Runcandel Clan’s provisional flag-bearer It was no longer just a rumor to them More and more money accumulated onto Dante’s pool, and not that many bet their money on Jin
Thanks to Jin, the other contestants naturally became irrelevant The previous year’s finalists, victors, and veterans—ere supposed to lead the event—see it hard to touch some money this year”
Most of the contestants were , what they wanted old coins for the co a portion of the pool from the host was much more important
“Should we just kill ‘eet ‘eether”
The distributed prize money for the winner would increase as more bets accumulated on one person Other’s fortune could only be a pain for the veterans
“Hold on Did you not see the One-Eyed Pirates get destroyed? This year’s contest is those kids’ stage If you want to save your life, you gotta stay out of it”
“Goddammit…”
Since the veterans’ st themselves
“Until the end of the preliht minimally That e can come back next year and earn money We can also bully the newbies too”
The veterans’ plan was to uous battles without killing each other That way, they could guarantee easy uide relayed all this infor, eh? Bullshi+tting the fight to bathe in some ets boring, then we’ll have some problems next year”

Coshter
“You idiot! If Paul Mick really is Jin Runcandel, do you think he’ll live? The One-Eyed Pirates were done for as soon as they pissed him off Don’t worry about it”
“…Good point”
Reaper Scans
The re rounds in the prelied, it wasn’t as bloody or brutal as the previous year’s
The veterans just broke some bones and effortlessly wrapped up their eventless battles, causing angry shouts to ensue frohts were staged
Despite this, however, no one left their audience seats They knew that, after all of the boring battles, they would be able to see the duel between Jin and Dante
And every time Jin or Dante faced a One-Eyed Pirate in the arena…
“Ohhhhhhh!”
“Paul Mick! Paul Mick!”
Although neither of the crowd favorites really did anything special, the croould go wild The two didn’t even need to brutally murder their opponents

And finally came the finals
“They finally face each other today”
The entirety of the audience awaited their appearance Beradin had co a wink due to anxiety
“Who do you think in between those two?”
Beradin asked his bodyguards
“Paul Mick”
“Seeing the previous battles, I think that Paul Mick’s swordsmanshi+p is better”
“Hest Master, what are your predictions?”
