It was the next round and Ye Han went back to the commentator's seat, he didn't forget to wake his little girls up as it was dangerous to sleep outside the house. He coughs as he spoke
"Now let us welcome the adventurers for the next round In the left corner we have the first dark horse for this year's event, BEEELLLLL CRAAAANNEEELLLLL!!!"
"WOOO!! You can do this rabbit Kun!!" -fangirl
"HAHAHA Rabbit Kun you can do this!!" -fan
Bell who heard their cheering felt shy and his cheeks turn reddish, while Ye Han coughs louder and said
"*COUGH* And in the right corner we have Kashima Ouka!!"
"Wooo!! SAMURAI BOY!!"
Kashima also coughs as he tried to ignore the weird nickname they cheered upon his name, he just concentrated and analyze Bell who could feel the Kashima's staring. Bell also looks at his opponent who was buffer than him, Ye Han waited for a few seconds before shouting
"LET THE FIGHT BEGIN!!"
Bell who was holding a dagger circled Kashima like a wolf, while Kashima raises his katana as he concentrates for an opportunity to appear. Bell who hasn't notice that he became level 2 had started to run toward Kashima, his speed was faster than before like 10% faster while his other stat has also increased by 10%. Kashima slashes in front as Bell slashes his dagger onto his katana, their weapon made a cling sound as they continued to slash and counter each other.
"Ding...Ding....Ding...Ding"
Bell who was using everything was burning with willpower as he thought while fighting "I can do this....Grandpa would be proud of me!". Meanwhile, Kashima was thinking "How can this boy have so much stamina?! I need to find a solution!". He clashes for another one as he slides his foot which made Bell slip to the ground, Kashima then tried to pierce Bell in his shoulder to which made Bell clash his dagger toward the sword as he used the push as a momentum to back off. Bell manages to distance himself as Kashima raises his katana again and inhaled deeply.
The audience could feel the excitement of the fight as they feel the climax coming in, Bell grips his dagger harder as he was worried that it would fall while he was battling. Kashima was the first one to initiate the attack as he runs toward Bell while aiming his sword onto Bell's chest who started to run towards him. Bell grit his teeth as he followed his natural instinct to dodge the blade which was centimeter away from his shoulder, but his shoulder still got cut as Bell used his left hand to grab Kashima's hand which was gripping the katana.
He didn't have time to think as he used his right hand that was holding the dagger while injured, he pierces his dagger at Kashima's shoulder who took it like a man. Kashima grits his teeth as he could feel the pain of getting a stab in the shoulder, he used his free right hand and punch Bell in the face who which tried to dodge it. But Bell's cheek gotten a tiny cut from the punch, he let go of his dagger as he also punches Kashima in the face.
Kashima who was in pain failed to dodge the punch and got hit in the jawline which made him feel dizzier than before, meanwhile, inside the gods and goddesses room. Two gods had their aura going wild as they wanted to stop the battle, while the others tried to appease them. Takemikazuchi who had a dangerous glint in his eyes while Hestia who had a snotty nose while crying, Ada nag them like parents.
"It's alright, both of your children are doing fine. They didn't try to aim at their vital point only at minor one which could be healed by our priest children. So don't start a ruckus or the consequence will be severe."
"But But...BEEELLLL KUUUNNN"
Hestia cried a lot as Ada gives her a tissue to wipe her snot out while Takemikazuchi who closed his eyes as he knew there was no need to be angry as the goddess beside him was also worried about her child. What Takemikazuchi didn't know that Hestia had already mark Bell as her future husband, Takemikazuchi calmed down as he tried to appease the crying Hestia. In the arena, everyone could see two bloodied men with their faces covered in bruises and cuts. Bell and Kashima didn't give up as this was the first time they were cheered upon.
Bell who tried to punch Kashima had his fist covered in blood which splattered into Kashima's eyes who had to close his eyes. Kashima who was blinded and got hit try to punch Bell blindly as he got to punch Bell in the shoulder, they were already out of stamina as they breathe heavily. Ye Han already notice their condition as he shouted
"Call! The priest, the adventurers can't battle anymore!"
The guild employee immediately called the priests and priestess as they knew that Ye Han is professional when it comes to fighting, just like Ye Han said they couldn't continue as Bell and Kashima was knock on conscious as fall to the ground like soldiers shot in the chest and falling backward. The priest and priestess hurried and cast out Minor Healing and poured a healing potion into their wounds. Ye Han who ask the guild employee of what should do when it comes to a tie, to which the guild employee replied with the mic
"Since its a tie and from the looks of these two adventurers they would still be down for a week before they regain back their full strength, both of them lose but they will still get 5th place as there is only one more round before semi-final which the semi-final would be decided by a draw lots. One would advance without fighting while two would fight for the place for the finals." -guild employee
"Ok..." -Ye Han
"Sigh...I feel bad for rabbit kun...and samurai boy...."-fangirl
"Yeah, their battle made my blood boil with excitement!" -Barbarian
"I hope they get well soon." -Fangirl
