“Hey, hey, hey now good mister! Don't just run away! Let us just cut you down and we'll be on our way!”“C-Cut you, please!”“——Like hell I would!”Jumping back and forth, dashing left and right, tumbling high and low, Cian was doing his best to avoid the children that moved as fast as he was. They were attempting to cut him as his clothes were already shredded to bits, and with his strong morals disallowing him to hurt children, he couldn't bring himself to lift a hand.“——Tch! Give me a break!” His stamina was running out while the two seems to be even livelier than ever. Cian knew that children have twice the stamina of an average adult, and so stopping right here would mean that he'd get cut. Without the capability to cast magic nor even use his Grant, he had one more thing that he could rely on. “W-Wait! Before you cut me down, what are your names? Introducing yourself before cutting down someone is somewhat courtesy!”With a sweatdrop on the side of his cheek, he composed h

“——Alright. Let's get this straight. These are all the remaining participants, huh?”Inside the training room, a large table was conjured as piles of papers were scattered around it. Everyone was looking at the table and each paper contained a profile of the person that Sabrine had broken down into the tiniest of details.“These are the available information I could gather from the Black Skulls and Vipers, and even Violet Hex and some other groups. The rest are remains of other groups that managed to survive, we can look at them later.”In the table, there were almost ten groups of papers that were labeled together including the three organizations. The others were but a bunch of random groups that were of no threat, so they skipped them and focused on those three only.“Those small twins are called Yuuri and Yuuta. They wield large blades that resemble scissors when joined together. I was only able to know a bit of their magic since they didn't properly show it.”With the Magic tab

“Huh. Where is Sabrine?”Back in the office, Kira went downstairs and back upstairs to ask Saeko who was left alone in the office.“——Eh? I thought you were with her?”Saeko didn't know as she had thought that Sabrine was downstairs, only Kira would realize that Sabrine had gone and went against her orders.“That damned woman. Does no one listen to me at all?!”Kira could only run her hand down her face as she sighed, disappointed at how stubborn all of her members were. But somehow, she could get a laugh out of it. “Kuhaha! They're cocky, aren't they?”Looking through the window, she would look in the direction of District C, grinning as she observed the rising smoke. “C-Cocky? I wouldn't say that. However, I'm not entirely sure why you are letting them be when we have a tournament.”Saeko would try to understand what Kira was thinking. Instead of going to stop them, all she did was sit and wait.Kira would suddenly extend her hand right towards Saeko, gesturing three fingers for

——There was a woman clad in light, a body glowing silver as she stood before them. Amidst his recovery, Magi could only look at the blood that was slowly, and disgustingly flowing back into his body. He wondered if it was Teresa's ability at first but knowing nothing about it, all he could do was watch and guess. “What is this...?”Magi stood up as his body felt pristine. His exhaustion was gone nor his coldness and all he could feel was the sudden hunger.“I turned your satiety into health. Thanks to my other ability, Focused Improvement, I improved your recovery and doubled up that aspect.”“———”The words that came out of her mouth were somehow something he couldn't understand. Maybe it was because he was still confused and couldn't comprehend what happened, but the important thing was he was saved by her.“Thank you. You saved my l——”“Geez. Just don't. It doesn't suit you.”Before Magi could even finish speaking and bowing, Teresa would wave her hand and lift his shoulders, t
