Let's start off with me throwing a punch so hard the bald guy flew and sank into a wall.
"Agh!" [Bald Guy]
His body shuddered as his eyes rolled up.
"Really? Only one punch?" [Solace]
I walked over to him and pulled him out. The bald guy fell to his knees with a face that told me he was questioning his life decisions.
"Get up." [Solace]
I would have grabbed his collar to pull him up, but he was shirtless. Instead, I just waited.
"Did you not hear me?" [Solace]
The bald guy seemed to refuse to stand. Either that or he couldn't.
"I said… stand!" [Solace]
I kicked him from underneath hard enough to get him on his feet. Unfortunately, it only knocked him out and he fell on his face.
("...I'm done venting now.") [Solace]
Letting out a sigh, I started to clean up the mess made from the dropped lunchbox.
("I hope the box isn't scratched…") [Solace]
How am I going to explain to Fina that I damaged it the first time she lent it to me? In any case, my little outburst seemed to have attracted attention.
("The stares make me feel nervous.") [Solace]
After fully cleaning the lunch box, I returned to my bench.
("Now all I have to do is wait.") [Solace]

Around twenty minutes later, the uniformed man returned.
"Hm? What's this?" [Uniformed Man]
He looked at the unconscious bald man on the ground.
"What happened here?" [Uniformed Man]
His gaze passed over the contestants, but none spoke.
"I see." [Uniformed Man]
He took out what I'm guessing is a notepad, and scribbled something on it. The uniformed man then approached the bald guy and raised a hand.
"Arise, valiant warrior. Your fight is not over." [Uniformed Man]
A golden circle formed beneath the unconscious bald guy, causing him to awaken.
"Huh?!" [Bald Guy]
He jumped to his feet while glancing around anxiously. His eyes then met mine.
("Hi~.") [Solace]
I waved at him with a friendly smile.
"You…!" [Bald Guy]
He had mixed expressions. I could see anger along with a hint of fear.
"What is it?" [Solace]
The bald guy flinched as I clenched my fist.
"N-nothing." [Bald Guy]
He shrank at my challenge. Anyways, the uniformed man started to question him about a few things before leaving him alone.
"I see. Be sure to watch your health before your fight. It may affect your entry into the hero's party." [Uniformed Man]
"S-sure thing." [Bald Guy]
It was tranquil from there. No one bothered me until the uniformed man finally called my name.
"Sir Alt Account and Sir Raon Parthenos. Please come forward." [Uniformed Man]
I stepped forward with some guy with crimson and brownish hair. It was kind of like a dog's fur pattern with how it was.
("That's… weird.") [Solace]
I recall hearing that hair color is in accordance to the god's blessing. Maybe he's blessed by two?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Following the normal procedures I found myself face to face with Raon.
("|Analyze|.") [Solace]
For the first time during my participation in the tournament, I decided to probe my opponent.

From what I could see, he was a… stronger version of Leyhna. …Maybe.
("Either way, I'm gonna win.") [Solace]
