Chapter 220: Yuki’s Resolve
It was the second day of the Combat World Tournament, and the arena was once again full of spectators.
Nessa, the devil, was doing her best to keep her demonic energy hidden while fighting using only her physical strength.
After she won her first match for the day, the spectators started to bet more on her, calling her the "Pink Fist," which I thought was pretty funny.
When it came to my students, all ten of them had made it to the second round, but that also meant that if they kept winning, they would have to face each other eventually.
Headmaster Lang told me that when he drew the names for the fighters, he tried to make it so that people from the same academy wouldn’t face each other until later in the tournament.
Marco, who was part of our team and one of Lucas’ best friends, lost his match against Larry, one of our third-year students.
Nonetheless, losing against people from their own team wasn’t as demoralizing as losing to a random fighter, so Marco took his loss with grace.
A few more fights later, and the turn for the crown prince of Kyotora arrived.
I noticed that when the prince stepped onto the arena, the people cheered reluctantly, almost as if they were forced to do it, so I used sound magic to listen to them closer.
"Just clap quick. We don’t want someone to call us out..." a man whispered to his friend.
’Are people really going to get scolded for not clapping?’ I pondered.
