"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome back to the Grand Arena! Today we'll be hosting the final sixteen! Who will advance to the quarterfinals and compete for the championship? Let's wait and see!"
Amid the cheers of nearly 100,000 spectators, George Glawin, Lor Klin, and Rad Will continued to commentate on the podium as usual.
"Do our two guests have anything to say about the Round of 16?"
Seeing George throw the topic over, Rad still said calmly:
"Regarding this, I would like to say that the fact that these sixteen contestants were able to forge their way through the sea of competition has fully demonstrated their strength. I also believe that in the future, these strong men will surely bring us more exciting clashes of the strong!"
"Oh! Looks like our commentator, Rad, is really excited for the upcoming match! Yeah! Me too! Really excited! I can guess you're all too excited too! Are you all, everyone, looking forward to it?"
"expect!"
"expect!"
“… …”
Loud cheers from the audience came from all directions.
"I wonder what our commentator Lor wants to say next?"
"Well, like George, I'm also looking forward to the upcoming games. However, I think it would be great if there were a few more surprises. For example, if 'someone' could meet a strong contender for the championship in advance, and a situation similar to the finals could happen in advance. That might add some special fun to the game!"
"Uh... Thanks for Lor's words, that's quite humorous! But if you think about it carefully, that situation might not be impossible. For us viewers, we might actually be able to experience the peak of fun in advance!"
"But that kind of situation wouldn't be very friendly to our players. We can only hope that it won't happen."
"Alright! It's almost time! Let's start today's game!"
"I declare—the first match of the Round of 16! It officially begins—!!!"
As George loudly announced the start of the game, the arena was once again filled with cheers.
... ...
The VIP room of the White Cat Royal Family.
"Hulim, come on!"
"Sister Hulim, come on!!!"
Miko and Mirei are giving Hulim pre-match encouragement.
"Well, I'll do my best."
At this time, Bals came over and looked at Hulim seriously.
"Hulim..."
"Mr. Barrs?"
"Today... I'll leave everything to you!"
Hulim looked at Bars.
For the White Cat Royal Family, the finals and everything else are not important, only today's game!
That is an important moment concerning the future of the entire tribe!
After a while, Hulim replied in the same serious tone:
"Don't worry, Mr. Bars... no matter who my opponent is, I will definitely make it to the quarterfinals."
"Well..." Bars nodded, "I believe you."
"As the king of the White Cat Clan, I can only place this heavy burden on your shoulders. I often feel guilty, but I have no choice... At this point, I can only be here and wish you prosperity in your military career!"
Bars bowed his head to Hulim.
"Mr. Barrs..."
Hulim looked at the leader of the tribe who was bowing to her, and while she was surprised, she seemed to understand something.
"...Thank you for your wishes. I will definitely live up to your trust."
"So... ..."
Hulim slowly turned around and walked towards the door.
"... ...Let me go to the competition venue."
... ...
"Alright! The two contestants for the new match have arrived! Who are they?"
"Let's take a look! See! They are—"
"Hulim Hyeral!!! And——"
"Lazis!!!"
Amidst the roar of cheers from all directions, Hulim saw clearly the appearance of her opponent.
A young man holding a mithril sword, wearing gorgeous armor, and dressed like a knight.
According to analysis of information circulating among various organizations, Lazis's strength is second only to Boguna and Violet, and is on par with Hulim.
Therefore, except for a very few people, most people think that this will be a fierce and "evenly matched" game.
"Didn't you meet those three B-ranks? Looks like Mr. Bars was right. I'm not that unlucky..."
Hulim muttered to herself quietly.
"Lord Hulim—"
At this time, Lazis, the opponent in this game, spoke.
"I know you are young, yet incredibly powerful. Honestly, I'm not 100% sure I can defeat you, but I will do my best. I hope you will do the same. Let's have a match where neither of us has any regrets."
Rare...
Hulim felt a surge of emotion in her heart.
It's so rare to meet such a polite opponent!
Looking back on the opponents I have encountered since the competition, it is really hard to describe.
"Okay, Mr. Lazis, I will try my best to leave no regrets for either of us."
Since he is a normal person of a rare species, then... ...let's give him some face.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
