Well, most of the games that followed were uneventful.

In any case, it was already clear who the main character of this competition was, and the rest had long since been relegated to supporting roles called bridesmaids.

It would be a lie if I said there was nothing to see in other hunters’ fights, but there was no match that gave as much impact as hers.

After all, the attack of summoning a spirit and sprinkling rain from the sky, or the attack of dodging and destroying the attacks of hunters at close range are full of spectacular sights both internally and externally. .

“Ah… Is there no one who can be called her opponent anymore…”

The host seemed really sad about this situation, but what should he do?

I just had to quietly watch her perform.

In that sense, it was natural for interest in the finals to drop.

No, people were interested in being able to see her swordsmanship again, but people just thought that the same thing would happen again.

“Okay then, the last game of the day, the highlight! There were no surprises. Hunter, Alia Wallenstein, who continued to show overwhelming performance today, and her opponent is Baek Ho-young, a hunter who defeated her opponents with ease and took second place in the preliminaries!”

Moreover, if the 2nd place is an unknown hunter who took 2nd place by fisherman’s fortune while the 1st and 2nd place strong candidates for the championship were in a war of nerves with each other.

In fact, this tendency was even stronger in his game because he was able to overcome his opponent with ease.

“Then, both of you, get ready and the game begins.”

The referee announced the start of the game, and for some reason, Alia, who looked tired… no, completely tired, took the initiative to speak in an offensive manner.

“….I’m sorry, but I really want to end today.”

Her sword strike is fired directly at the opponent.

The sword, full of determination to end the game and return home, was aimed at him.

People, including myself, thought that the game would be decided quickly in the finals, but

“Inhale!”

Baek Ho-young had a close fight, but he blocked her attack and continued to stand there.

Then she immediately frowns.

Well, rather than being surprised, the expression on his face only seemed to be irritated, as if he had encountered something bothersome.

Clap, clap!

She immediately began pouring out the next sword strike like a flowing stream.

In a flashy battle where non-hunters and the general public would only see sparks flying, I was able to see that he was barely able to use her sword.

Then she said, a little surprised.

“Huh. I didn’t know that today I would meet someone who is truly walking the path of the sword rather than relying on this suspicious ability…”

Baek Ho-young immediately responds to her words.

“….I’ve never seen anyone other than my teacher use swordsmanship so close to perfection.”

Of course, Alia doesn’t even respond to such praise.

As if all she wanted to do was to quickly return home in her head, she immediately launched a natural attack on him.

“Then let’s see if we can stop this too.”

Then, Baek Ho-young rolls on the ground and avoids her attack.

Although he looked a little ugly and embarrassed, he was dodging all of her attacks.

“Huh!”

To be honest, the sight of someone who was expected to surrender right away struggling was a sight that made people sweat.

“Hmm…. I didn’t know he would show such effort against her…”

“Should I say that Baek Ho-young is amazing or that person is amazing?”

“Honestly, even if I were there, I don’t have the confidence to endure like that.”

Of course, this meant that she was that dominant in this competition.

“Ha. How long will you just avoid attacks? Are you planning on not attacking?…?”

“….Where and how should we attack? It’s hard to avoid your attacks like this…”

“Then what about just surrendering?”

“Still, it would be a waste to surrender like that… Wow!”

It was Baek Ho-young, who started the game by saying some pretty cool things and continuing to dodge her attacks.

However, even if that were the case, there was no chance of any surprise happening in a game where the winner had already been decided.

This was because he soon got tired and let go of her attack while losing his sword.

She said, putting the tip of her sword to his neck.

“Phew…. It was quite good, but I guess that’s the end of it.”

“I see… I see. Hey… I’m interested in that. If you don’t mind, could I ask for your contact information?”

And the stadium was instantly silenced by his unexpected words.

Their words were being broadcast live on the electronic display and loudspeaker, and she was frowning, wondering if I should call that appearance bold or reckless, and she was speaking with the same expression as me.

“….I already own someone. What you’re saying is a bit unpleasant. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that just now.”

Of course I already knew that she would refuse, but I was unable to control the heat that suddenly rose on me.

And then I soon realized.

She said she wanted to nail it to me that I was hers, but at the same time, I also wanted to nail it to the world that she was mine.

‘Wow, I really like Alia.’

what? Is she obsessed?

My obsession was also much stronger than hers.

And the moment I realized the true nature of that feeling, I had already stood up from the stands and entered the stadium.

In the meantime, the conversation between the two continued.

“Haha. I’ve tried it, but is it still difficult? Still, I’m sincere, so if you’re interested at any time, please contact me here…. It may seem like an old-fashioned comment, but don’t assume that just because there’s a goal keeper, a goal won’t be scored….”

“….Isn’t this guy completely crazy?”

And before I knew it, Alia was visibly embarrassed when she saw me standing on stage.

“West, West? Why is the West suddenly here… No, no. Why did you suddenly come up here? Even if the West doesn’t say that, I said that…”

know.

I know it very well.

The fact that she is not the kind of person who would betray me after listening to someone like that.

But even if he knew that, how could a man not get angry when he sees another man coveting his woman?

Even if I put up with everything else, I only believe in a woman’s chastity and don’t respond in any way to the guy who tries to steal my woman right in front of my eyes?

I thought twice, and thought about it one more time.

But I just can’t do that.

Rather than because I didn’t trust her, I came up to declare that this woman was mine and that I should not covet her for anything other than her value as a hunter.

“West, West. Wait a minute, what should I do….”

“Stay still, Alia.”

Even though it may have been her one-sided begging in the beginning, it didn’t mean that I couldn’t love her now.

“Who is that….”

When Baek Ho-young saw me suddenly barging into the stadium, you suddenly looked at me as if asking something, then looked back and forth between me and her and then said with a smile.

“Ah…. I didn’t know it was real, but are you the woman she just mentioned?”

And then he looks me up and down and laughs.

That’s right.

The difference was that I could feel the momentum just by looking at it, because I was a low-rank hunter and I was nothing compared to them.

“Hmm… No matter how you look at her, she seems to be a woman who is full of resentment for you…”

Yes, that is also correct.

Whether you look at it objectively, subjectively, or from a cosmic macro perspective, she was a woman who was full of resentment for me.

But so what?

Even if that were the case, it still doesn’t change the fact that she is mine.

Besides, I don’t think it’s any of his business even if I ended up with a woman who was full of resentment.

“Ha, so what should I do? Regardless of whether I suit this woman or not, I think it’s better than the one who treats someone else’s woman even though she doesn’t like it, right?”

“…Huh, do you really think you are a man qualified to say that?”

….What on earth does this guy believe in and go out like this?

Even though he is a pretty skilled hunter, it wouldn’t be good for him to tarnish his image like this…

To be honest, I stood in front of him half thinking that he wouldn’t be able to get out of the way, but even if he really got out of the way, I had no intention of meekly backing down.

Now that I know how I feel, I can’t show her that I don’t have anyone.

“Ha. It’s not for you to decide whether I deserve it or not. Or what, let’s do it together?”

Then, he really seemed to be in a mental state and spoke as if he had been waiting for those words.

“Ha, the point is that I don’t shy away from a fight…”

….Is he really crazy?

At this level, she could have backed down and said she didn’t know she was a really powerful woman, but she’s saying that she’s going to fight me sincerely in this situation.
