"We already know that Yvonne will get number one." Matt continued as Megumi wrote the golden knight's name on the blackboard. "So, she doesn't need to take the number."
Testra was already sitting in her chair, but Lexi was still in her position. Even her smile remained, although some of her fellow fighters looked at her with sympathy.
The president wondered. Is the blonde woman hiding her fear?
"We have determined the qualifying participants." Matt continued. "But you all don't know what kind of match we will hold after qualifying. Well, I have a little show for you, the fighters, and the audience."
The stadium lights were dimmed, accompanied by soft piano playing, but had traces of playfulness.
Then, a man narrates. "This is a story from the realm of Askreim, long ago, in a small and prosperous country. The king put a large purple crystal in the center of the capital."
[Narrator: Lognar]
Without realizing it, Elisa put on a fa
Still sleepy, Matt sat on the balcony of the second mansion, opening his cell phone to check the news. There were two that caught his attention. One is about All-Savages, which have yet to show signs of crowning their new champion. The other discusses CoB, who will hold a 32 knights tournament to fight for the belt. Matt couldn't help but smile. This means CoB thinks Matt's method is correct and has put MFC on their map. The rivalry between organizations would be fierce, but that will make everything more interesting. They will push each other to be the best. In the end, the audience wins because they get quality products. "You look delighted this morning, Sir President." Charles placed a bowl and glass of coffee in front of Matt. "Yeah, I'm in a good mood today." The president looked at the contents of the bowl: white porridge in brown sauce with various toppings. "It turns out your words are true. This surprised me. I didn't expect you to cook me br
The bell signaling the start of the match rang. Urukka walked around while pointing his spear at his opponent. Meanwhile, Charles remained standing where he was. Those kitchen utensils were still around his body. The lizardman then ran forward. However, the chef managed to block the attacks with a large spoon and cutting board. "Look, he didn't do any movements," Matt commented. "Those tools seem to have a mind of their own." "I'm curious, Matt." Lognar rubbed his chin. "Why does he use his hands to cook, even though he can move those tools without touching them." The president elaborated. "He believes that the human touch is necessary to make delicious food. He also didn't want to injure his hands, which he used for cooking, so he didn't use them for fighting." Urukka still had difficulty hitting the chef, even though the lizardman had tried to attack the man from various directions. "I'll wipe that annoying smile of yours!" Urukka wa
The first battle in the qualifying round had been going on for a while. Gwae couldn't attack or block at all. All the spear thrusts from her opponent managed to hit her body. "Ugh!" Gwae knelt when Yvonne hit her knee with that long weapon. But Yvonne didn't immediately attack and twirled her spear in various styles instead, triggering the audience to applaud. "You're not serious about fighting me?" The elf rose to her feet. The golden knight tapped the bottom of the spear on the floor. "They have bought tickets to watch this show. It's a shame if they only see short matches. Luckily, we used magic barriers, so I can delay this match a little longer." A bitter chuckle escaped Gwae's mouth. "So you think I'm weak and won't be able to fight you." "I didn't say that." Yvonne put on a smile. "You are a wonderful fighter, but maybe you should train more." Gwae Marajor gripped her two swords tighter. Then, she jumped forward to slash
Matt felt that the response from the audience regarding MFC Park was only warm. But it's not a disaster. He believes fans already feel they have a deep connection with the fighters, so they still want to buy tickets. "You wouldn't guess I'm looking forward to this match." Lognar chuckled. "I wonder what method Norug will use to deal with Mr. S." The president narrowed his eyes as the Dwarf exited the entrance. "It seems he prepared a surprise, Lognar." "A special battle hammer, huh?" The dwarf commentator referred to Norug's weapon being wrapped in black cloth. "But I've never heard of a dwarven weapon that can counter giant slimes. Maybe the culture in his world is different... Are you sure you don't know this, Matt?" "What do you think?" The president chuckled. Of course, he knew about that. All weapons used in the arena must be approved by the MFC. After performing the ritual of smashing an alcohol bottle with his head, Norug removed the cl
{Askreim, many years ago}Elisa sat in a house with a body covered in bandages. Her hand was holding a mug containing still steaming tea."I want to celebrate." A young male elf, green-haired and tall, stood while watching the other four people sleeping on the floor. "But that doesn't seem possible.""Yeah." The prophet smiled faintly. "The fight was very intense. Let them rest."One of the people on the floor, a woman with long, messy red hair, straightened up. She rubbed her eyes, then got up and approached Elisa. "Is it morning already? I am hungry."The green-haired elf chuckled. "All you think about is food."Elisa widened her smile. "You've only slept for about twenty minutes."The red-haired woman checked the window, which still showed a dark sky. "Damn, but I'm starving.""Then, eat." The prophet sipped her tea. "Our mission is complete. Tomorrow, we can travel home and resupply. No need to stand by here anymore."
"I still can't believe it." Lognar took a deep breath as the staff cleaned Elisa's blood marks on the arena floor. "MFC is full of surprises like the president likes to surprise us." "But I was also surprised by what just happened," Matt responded. "Just like the analysts, I am almost one hundred percent sure that Elisa will win... And it turns out that Salvia can beat Elisa that fast." The audience also continued to discuss what they had just witnessed. What made Matt concerned was how quickly they reached the main event. Even though they had five matches, the last three fights were short. If the main event isn't spectacular, it's fixed that MFC 7 is their worst show to date. The president took a deep breath. "And this is what we've been waiting for, ladies and gentlemen." Some drones descended over the arena and zoomed into that cage. The audience became even more confused when they saw that. Vivianne let out her powerful voi
"I'm happy." Shin's eyes started to emit orange light. "I can fight you when you are in maximum condition." "The following contest is scheduled for the MFC championship!!!" Speakers near the arena played Vivianne's voice. "This match is under the no-limit rule. Participants are not limited to fighting inside the arena. They can fight outside it and will not be disqualified." "It feels strange, doesn't it?" Shin looked at the trees around the arena. "There was only the sound of the night breeze, without the crowds of spectators." Meanwhile, Zerneider looked at the stadium lights, which only looked like dots in the distance. "But in your previous life, you also often fought in silence like this, right?" "Always." "Introducing first, the challenger!" Vivianne did the introductions. "From Earth, Universe 13110!!! The Zerneider!!! Juuun Toookumaaa!!!" There was no response from the audience. Those two were only accompanied by the sound of l
{Many years ago, Earth, universe 13110}A woman in a formal suit was standing in a room. Through the glass window, she looked at Jun Tokuma lying on the hospital bed."Detective Shiraishi-san?" A middle-aged male doctor approached that short-haired woman."Maeda-sensei."The two then bowed to each other."Unfortunately, we have to give you bad news." Doctor Maeda sighed. "This is the first time we have found a human body like his. There's a lot we don't understand.""What about the sting wounds on his body?" Detective Shiraishi looked at Zerneider again.The doctor shook his head. "We have to carry out a lab examination using existing samples. We suspect it's some kind of neurotoxin that affects all his senses, but we don't know for sure.""We don't have time, Sensei." Detective Shiraishi massaged her forehead. "The monster rampaged the city, stinging the people, taking all their senses. They get
