(POV Kenichi )

"...i-isn't looks like Alexander-senpai is having trouble against that guy?"

As I tried to recover for my next fight, it was Alexander-senpai's turn to fight in the ring. So far, in the fights where I have seen him fight, he ended up winning without much difficulty. So this was quite strange to me… although it was not at the level of the Ryozanpaku Masters, that man still had a very intimidating aura around him!

…Well, according to what some of the Shinpaku boys told me, in the preliminaries he also fight against a quite strong man with whom had some difficulties. But... that was a little hard to believe when I saw the poor guy lying on the ground... it was quite traumatizing, so I try not to think about it!

“…That man is on a level between a Master and still a disciple… he could be considered something like a Semi-Master. It shouldn't be an easy fight for Alexander."

"But… I've seen him counteract other people's aura with something else that's even more dominant than that… w-why isn't he using that?"

"...i-is that man so strong?"

Beside me, Miu-chan and Renka-san were also closely watching the fight of those two with concerned and serious faces respectively! I-I knew that man was strong, but… I-I didn't think he was close to becoming a Master!!

“ If that man can partly be considered a Master… t-then isn't it unfair that he participated in the tournament?! "

"Weak- kun... do you really think this tournament can be fair at having those guys from Yami as the host of all this? Just seeing that they allowed her grandfather to participate is enough to understand that they just do things the way they want."

"" ... ""

...to my question, Renka -chan points to the huge mass of muscles dressed in green and with a mask that was also watching this fight... other might think that he is only interested in seeing who would be victorious between those two and would be his next opponent, but I honestly don't know what the Elder was thinking.

"O-Oh~ I see... maybe the old man noticed that man and entered the tournament to stop him!"

"T-That's..."

"...if he wanted to stop him, why didn't he do something before Alexander struggled with him?"

That thought goes through my mind, but… Renka-san and the own Elder's granddaughter don't seem to agree with my thoughts very much! A-At least I wish they would allow me to dream a little! Sakaki-shisho and the other Masters were putting a lot of pressure on me to win the tournament, you know? And some of them have even threatened to increase my training if I lost... or even worse, they have even gone so far as to tell me that they will say shameful things about me to Izumi -chan when we get back to the dojo!!

" A-Are you okay, Kenichi?"

As I remember those threats and hold my head in despair, Izumi-chan worries about the screams that I suddenly start to make imagining all those bad things!

I had enough problems with having to fight members of the Yomi... there was even Alexander-sanpai too! But worst of all was that with the Elder participating, then my chances of winning were practically equal to 0!!

"Eh? T-That's... "

"" ... ""

As the commentator says, the fight inside the ring seems to change! Now the person who looked pressured was the man who was fighting Alexander- senpai!!

…Also, as a side comment, I think the commentator was a bit mean to called him [Shining Head-kun ]… it's not good to make fun of things that can worry a person, you know? Although... it is certainly difficult not to see how the sun is reflected on the head of that man... you almost had to cover your eyes due to the glare that caused!

Either way, the important thing was that the atmosphere around Alexander-senpai suddenly changed… it wasn't something you could see, so it was a bit difficult to describe. Only the feeling that now he was more dangerous than before had increased! And I shouldn't just be the one feeling this... the girls next to me, and of course, the man he was facing realized this too!

Also, as if it were some kind of magic, the wind seemed to circulate around him... without a doubt, this was like an indicator that anyone could see to understand that something had changed in Alexander- senpai!

The girls' reaction to this was one of joy ... surely their concern was greatly diminished by this. But as for that man, his face expressed impatience and a bit of annoyance over it.

…I, on the other hand, was a bit depressed! While I was glad that Alexander-senpai overcome the problems facing... I do not feel the same for the fact that now he had become stronger than before! After all, he could end up being my opponent in the very near future!!

Until now I had never been able to defeat him in a practice match, so this only made things more difficult for me… well, that is as long as he surpasses the huge barrier of muscles that he will have to deal with in the next match.

The old man seemed quite motivated while laughing with a " Hohoho " upon witnessing this... and also nodded repeatedly while stroking his long beard which was impossible for that mask to cover!

…Sadly, I couldn't be happy to know that Alexander-senpai would probably be blocked by that human wall! At the end of the day that meant the old man would be the person with whom I would have to fight!!

" R-Relly... are you okay, Kenichi? "

“I-I'm fine… N-No! I'm not good!!

I-Izumi -san, please… please, despite whatever you may hear in the future, just remember that I'm still the same! Please!! "

"E-Eh? T-That's… it-it's okay! "

I think I should face reality... so my only alternative was to mentally prepare Izumi-san for the things those guys can say to her when I lose! Although at first she seemed confused by my words, I am glad that in the next instant she takes a pose to show her resolve and agrees to my request.

…I would like to say that this reassures me a bit, but… it only increases my concern about the great possibility of having to lose such a good and pretty girl! I-If Izumi-san leaves me after this, then I don't know what would become of me… I'll probably have to say goodbye to my love life… one that I was just beginning to enjoy!!

That's not fair! I've barely had the guts to hold her hand!! I'm still a healthy and normal young man, s-so… I-I also want to do the same thing that Alexander-senpai did the night before!!

" W-What are you looking at, pervert?! "

"E-Eh? N-Nothing! I wasn't seeing anything ! G-Gyaa~!! "

When thinking of those things, my eyes inevitably fall on Renka -san… specifically on her breasts! Sorry, a powerful and attractive force forced me to do it!! Also… since in that aspect Izumi-san was a bit lacking, I can't deny that I was very curious about it!!

...I-I was so envious of Alexander-senpai! H-He surely had a lot of fun playing with that pair of breasts yesterday!! Although… I must admit that such a thing was surely due to the determined and brave attitude that he had… i-instead I… maybe I didn't have the right to feel jealous of him!

Thinking about that, more than anything I felt a bit of anger for myself for being so cowardly and not even having the courage to kiss Izumi-san... which, at this moment, was pinching my waist and looking at me with quite a bit of resentment.

" Kaaah!!!"

As the girls looked at me with very accusing eyes, a scream was heard from the ring and saving me from becoming the center of attention here for longer… there was the bald man… it was really very difficult not to call him that. Well, he was holding his stomach with both arms while spitting out a large amount of blood taking several steps back, and on his face you could only see that he was feeling great pain...

" D-Don't tell me... A-Alexander- senpai used that thing again?!"

“No… he just used a Chinese Kenpo move this time… it was a pat full of Ki! It seems that Alexander really has stepped more closely at the Master level and his Ki is strengthened now~! "

"Y-Yes... also, his presence has become much more intense than before."

...I understand that they are happy to see all this, but... I hope they at least express a little pity and concern for that man! Both of their faces were flushed and their eyes seemed like they could only see Alexander-senpai without worrying about anything else!

Well… I must admit that at this moment Alexander- senpai looked quite impressive standing there as he looked at his hand curiously as if he couldn't believe the strength he had now.

...The good thing is that Izumi-chan just seemed surprised to witness such a scene... if she was also blushing while watching him, I really wouldn't know what to do! I would even lose my girlfriend before I lost in this tournament!!

W-Well, at least I'm glad that he didn't use that technique... if he did, maybe that man would now be struggling between life and death!!

"S-So… the fight is over?"

"Well... that guy hasn't given up..."

"T-They haven't announced the end of the fight either..."

"T-That's ..."

" Gyaaah!!!"

When Izumi asks that question, the other two girls answer her with those words... then when I thought that things might get bad now, several screams start to be heard from the arena!!

"T-this time he really used that technique..."

"" ... ""

" Hiii!!!"

My eyes are drawn to those screams, and then I can see that the man's arms were now bent incorrectly and blood was pouring out of them! Not only that, if you looked at his hands... he was even missing some of his fingers! Also… those that were still attached to his body weren't in much better condition!!

S-Seeing that, I can't stop my body from shaking and a scream escaping from my mouth!!

I-I withdraw what I said before, I think it was much more terrifying to have to fight against him than with the Elder!! A-At least if I fight with Miu-san's grandfather, I shouldn't have to worry about losing parts of my body!!

“…He's in shock right now, so he can't give up. End the fight now… I don't want to have to hurt him anymore."

"" ... ""

"..W-Well... the winner of this fight is contestant Alexander"

...no one believed those words, so everyone could only remain silent until finally the commentator, after a few seconds, announced the victory of Alexander-senpai. If you ask me, I think he only stopped making that man suffer more because he had already tried his new strength and so the man was no longer useful to him...

"I-If I have to fight him, I will retire before going into the ring"

"L-La la la~ U-Un ... I'm not excited about having to fight Alexander-san again either."

"..."

I didn't seem like the only one who had that thought… Takeda-san, Sigfied-san, and even Tanimoto-kun who even though he didn't say anything, his gaze said that he didn't disagree with the previous words!

...Alexander-senpai begins to walk in this direction leaving alone that man who was with his mouth open as if he wanted to scream but his voice did not come out while he continued looking at his shattered hands... I do not know if he was still conscious or had fainted while standing.

"Well... this ends my fights for today~"

"... Y-you overdo it a bit, Alexander~!"

"I-It's true!!"

Contrary to the atmosphere that had been formed by seeing all of this, he acted quite normal and even a bit cheerful... this just made it more difficult to get close to him! The only ones with enough courage or who maybe didn't care about that were Renka-chan and Miu-chan that come up to him and reprimand him a bit.

Seriously, I think they should tell him more seriously about not doing things like that! It wasn't something that could only be solved with a simple scolding, you know?! P-Probably the life of that man can no longer be the same as before!!

“ The next contestant is ***** from Yomi against Kenichi from Ryozanpaku!! "

"..."

“ K-Kenichi, be careful!"

... I really wanted to stop participating in this tournament, but after receiving the words of encouragement from Izumi -chan, I could only walk with my shoulders slumped towards the ring... for the love of God, at least someone take that person and clean the blood of the place! It is even scarier to have to enter the ring like that!!
