(POV Yulz)

"...could I have been wrong to cheer on that little guy?"

"" ... ""

Seeing Alexander get into the ring and challenge the main disciple of this sect, I couldn't help but think like this… when we spoke earlier and he told me that he intended to get first place in this tournament, I don't take his words too seriously. I thought the little boy was just bragging in front of me, which was pretty cute.

Of course I had noticed his strength, and I certainly think he was quite a talented boy, but… seeing how young he was, I was sure Alexander lacked experience.

…There are some things that only a person's talent cannot provide. So watching him challenge the main disciple of this sect, I couldn't help but worry a bit. Also... his opponent seems to want to skin him alive! Without a doubt those two have a very big enmity!!

And that little boy's words don't help at all... he's just adding more charcoal to the flames! Does he want to kill that man by making him angry until he explodes?! If so, then his strategy seems to be paying off!

But everything that happens in the ring only makes me worry even more. So, I could only turn to the girls around me to ask for their opinion, if they believed Alexander was in danger, then I will step in to help him.

…It's a bit strange, I just met this little boy and I was quite worried about him now. Well... the truth was that apart from being quite cute, there were quite a few things that made me very curious about him!

For example, that he was surrounded by several beautiful women! When I talked to them, it didn't take me long to realize that he was the core of this group of women! All of them repeatedly during our talk turned their eyes to him unconsciously.

While it was already strange that several beautiful women were gathered in one place, that was not the most important thing about this. The most surprising thing was the talent of all these girls! I was sure that if you gave these girls enough time, then all of them would become powers of this Area! No… maybe even this area is not suitable to contain people like them!!

…I was pretty sure of my own talents, but… in this group of girls, this could only be considered normal. Although most are still weaker than me, they are also a bit younger. Most have not passed the age of 20.

Also… there are two women that my senses tell me that they are very dangerous! If I fought against them, I wasn't sure of defeating them! No… I think the chance of being defeated is quite high!

One was a woman roughly my age… if I remember correctly, her name was Shigure. I feel that she hadn't reached the 5th limit of a level 2 soul, but… the aura around her was like a sharp sword!

...This is what people know as [Sword Intent]? Probably.

The other was also a black-haired woman… I feel an even more dangerous aura from her! If I fight her, I will definitely lose... I'm sure about that. Not even when I'm close to my grandfather, who is the strongest person in our clan, does he make me feel that way!

…I thought that I could easily defeat any elder from the mid-level sects in this area… I even had the confidence to fight against the leaders of these organizations! No, even several elders from my clan and from the other two clans are not my opponents!

But… upon seeing the elder Kushinada of this sect, that thought was discarded from my head. I even feel that the only ones capable of fighting her on an equal footing were my grandfather and the other two old men from the other clans!

Haaa~… it's really unfortunate how due to the disputes of the three families things have come to this. Seeing how the other sects and organizations are getting stronger, soon perhaps my family and the other two will not be able to suppress the other organizations in that area.

Unfortunately, even knowing this, it is impossible to put aside the resentments between my family and the other two. I understand that they would probably rather be destroyed by other organizations than leave behind the problems that have continued for generations.

Well... since nothing can be done about this, then it is better to seek allies. And, without a doubt, seeing this group of disciples from the 7 Mountains Sect, I am sure that this sect will rise to new heights in no time.

My biggest concern was the [Thousand cauldrons] sect. They have been in the shadows for a long time, but...ever since they eliminated the Family that Helen belonged to, and due to their subsequent movements, I have had a bad feeling about them.

…Their influence in this area has only increased in recent years. Furthermore, because the three families are also dependent on the various pills they make, it was impossible for one family to suppress this sect and make them favor the other two families!

So, thanks to all this, it can now be said that the [Thousand cauldrons] sect was the 4th power in this area that it had recently raised! The worst thing was that their ambition probably wouldn't stop with this!!

So it was better to look for strong allies! And the surprise that the sect [7 Mountains] gave me was quite nice! They are now a force to consider...or they probably will be very soon. If things in this area get out of hand and problems arise... having them as allies is a very good option.

While another force rising up may create even more chaos in the situation right now, at least my impression of this sect is much better than the [Thousand cauldrons] sect! I am sure that if the influence of the latter continues to increase things for me will not be very good!

All of that is because of that damn toad!!

Just thinking about that guy's gaze makes my body shake! It is nothing compared to the look of little Alexander who also has slightly perverted eyes! At least I don't feel that unpleasant sensation like a vermin licking my body!

…It's good that this guy didn't come. Otherwise, if he were to set his eyes on this group of beauties, a lot of trouble would probably have arisen. I don't want these beautiful sisters to suffer a loss because of that toad!

“Fufufu, you don't need to worry, Yulz-san. For now, things are not looking bad for Alex-san."

"Yes... it seems that master is still not fighting seriously."

"...is that so?"

The words of the girls named Saeko and Mary bring me out of my thoughts. They answer my previous question with fairly calm faces without looking worried about Alexander... I thought I had rushed and make hasty conclusions from the relationship between him and them, but after giving them another look, I can say that it is not that they do not care about Alexander, but they had quite a bit of confidence in him.

"U-n... it seems like he wants to practice his weapon skills a bit."

Observing the battle that had started between those two intensely again, it seems that what Shigure says is true. Both of them were clashing their swords repeatedly producing sparks from the impact. The surprising thing about this was that Alexander did not seem at a disadvantage!

...if my eyes did not deceive me, then Alexander's strength should be between the 2nd and 3rd limit of the second soul level. Compared to him, that siscon-prince had a strength close to the 4th limit. That the little guy wasn't was at a disadvantage on ability was quite surprising… I think even the little one had better abilities than that guy!

Speaking of which...

“… Why do they call that guy “siscon-prince”? What does that mean?"

"T-That..."

"W-Well..."

“Fufufu… is a widely used term where most of us are from. The Master calls him that because that person had a forbidden relationship with his sister who is there~ "

"E-Eh? I-Is that so?

...it seems that what people say is true. The son of a tiger has to be born striped... "

When I ask this, the young girls Miu and Renka don't know how to respond to my words. No, most of them looked uncomfortable about this… in the end, it's Mary who ends up explaining to me.

"Well... at least I must say that this boy is not as bad as his father, my brother-disciple."

"..."

Yes, Elder Delna's brother disciple is quite famous in this area… and not for exactly good reasons! Most people know about the messy family situation of that person!!

“B-By the way… you should be careful with Alexander. Although that boy seems quite cute and harmless… he is a wolf dressed in sheep's clothing! If you're not careful, then that brat will end up putting his fangs on you before you know it! "

"E-Eh? Is that so? "

"" ... ""

…I thought that this girl, Rei, was trying to get me away from Alexander because of her jealousy, but… when I look at the other girls, they all look away with flushed faces as if they remembered some losses they had suffered from underestimating the boy!!

"Fufufu~... thank you, I'll keep that in mind."

"H-Hmp~ Don't say I didn't warn you"

Well, I think the reason Rei says that is still due to her jealousy. It seems that she is a girl who does not like to share the person she likes with other women... 

Although, I think it was a bit late for that, right? There are already enough girls here and, in addition, the names of other girls more than those who are here currently, constantly appear in the discussions between them!

Unfortunately for her, her words only make me more curious about Alexander. I can certainly tell that this little boy is not as innocent as he seems… but talking to him only makes me want to tease that little one more~.

…It may be like the thrill of provoking a strong monster but still maintaining the luxury of being able to avoid its attacks easily.

What will happen first? Will he end up giving up in frustration at not being able to catch me, or... will he end up nailing his fangs on me as Rei said? Fufufu, if the latter happens… then I can only blame myself for provoking the beast, right?

"Oh~, it looks like the master won, roock~! That guy can barely hold himself! Master, kill that guy, roock~!! "

Says the girl with a slim body... she stands out a bit from all these girls as she is the least developed... or rather, the girl with less prominent curves. Either way, she is still quite beautiful. So Vrana, if I'm not mistaken in her name, it's not like she seemed out of place being here either.

Vrana, stopping fighting and arguing with the other girls who were holding the three little harpies, and begins to cheer on Alexander. As she mentions, that siscon-prince's situation… that word is quite catchy, that person's situation looked pretty bad.

Alexander was still calm and not even his breath seemed messy... in stark contrast, that prince was panting with his wobbly feet and various cuts on his body... although they weren't deadly or that deep, from how the fight developed, I think that it was only because Alexander was not ruthless to him.

This was undoubted quite an unexpected result… it seems silly that I had worried a little earlier. Also, I wasn't the only one surprised by this! Probably no one expected things to turn out this way! Or at least that there was such a big difference between both of them!

"I knew the boy would win, but... I didn't expect him to beat that siscon-prince so easily"

"Umu, it seems we underestimate Alexander-kun still..."

"Grandpa, I think even you would have a hard time fighting Alexander now... you may not even be able to defeat him if you fight totally seriously."

“…It's true, grandpa. I think the only person here capable of defeating Alexander-sama is Shigure-sama and Kushinada-sama. "

No, that's not true. For the girls of Alexander and the grandparents of Princess Cleirsa and Turla who speak with them, they all expected this. On the other hand, it seems that I too underestimate that little one quite a bit...
