To Be a Power in the Shadows!

Matches that feel like only the strong are paying attention.

The fourth round of the Martial Arts Festival began.

Anne Rose sat in the front row of the audience, waiting for the match she was looking for to begin.

The watery hair shakes in the wind, and the eyes of the same color look to the arena. The audience was growing more than yesterday, but still less than half.

"Lady, are you looking for that guy's game?

Speaking up, Annerose looked back.

"Sure you are..."

"It's Quinton."

Quinton, who looked like a villain prowler, sat dodgy next to Anne Rose.

"The lady was watching the third round yesterday, too, wasn't she?

"Right. And you say that?

"I didn't mean to see it, but it just happened to be in my eyes. How did you see the third round of Jimina Seinen?"

Quinton tosses his legs forward and asks Annerose.

"It didn't look like your opponent was lucky to have fallen."

"Oh. He did something. I didn't know what that was, but I thought you'd know. Annerose from" Vegarta Seven Martial Swords "."

Quinton's unscrupulous eyes and Anne Rose's sharp eyes bumped into each other for a moment.

Immediately, Annerose turned her back and put her legs together. White legs become dewy from skirt slits.

"I threw away the name. It's just Anne Rose now."

"I'm sorry about that. It's late, but congratulations on passing the Trial of the Goddess."

"Thanks"

"So, you didn't even know, lady? I don't know what he did."

"Wow, I didn't know."

A little musty, says Annerose.

"I didn't think you'd miss it. I'm alarmed. It's just... Jimina, your right hand seemed to have moved"

"Well, my right hand."

"I don't know what I did with my right hand. If I could tell you one thing, it was very fast."

"Hmm. Does that mean my expectations are off?"

Quinton snorted boringly.

"Predictions?"

"I thought you might have used a banned artifact or something."

"I see... there's no chance of that."

"Either way, I can tell in today's game"

"Right. Opponents are the Goldo Kinplated of the Undefeated Myth"

"I don't know, but you're famous. He said he'd never lost."

"For better or worse, you're famous."

Annerose grinned bitterly.

"Are you strong?

"Right...... I have fought in various countries so far. There were battles in action, and competitions in the arena. Three times in the last tournament, I've hit Goldo Kinplated."

"Hmm. Goldo has never lost... What do you mean, the lady lost?

Annerose glanced lightly at Quinton.

"That's not true. I couldn't fight. He, when the opponent is strong, runs away."

"What? What the hell"

"He never fights his opponents who could lose. Fight only those who can win and abstain when you hit a strong opponent. The two names given are undefeated myths. No one can beat him. He doesn't like those two names, but he seems to call them the ever-winning Golden Dragon."

"Always winning and undefeated. Sounds similar. It means something completely different."

Kuckoo Quinton laughed.

"In short, you can't expect Mr. Undefeated Myth."

I don't know.

Annerose laughed at the edge of her lips.

"Hmm, what do you mean?

"The myth of the undefeated is only fighting a guaranteed winning opponent and eating into the top of the tournament. If you're in a smaller tournament, you've got some experience winning."

"Well... then you can't be weak"

Quinton's eyes sharpened.

"Yeah. His strength is to make sure he spots the difference in strength. That he didn't run off to his Jimina opponent. I mean..."

"I see."

Quinton laughs with a raving face.

"Couldn't you even spot Jimina's strength in an undefeated myth"

"Or the coward Jimina relied on for artifacts"

"Adding that the myth of undefeation has fought only against opponents who can surely win. He hasn't been serious yet."

"Don't get funny"

"Yeah, it's gonna be funny."

Quinton laughed like a beast and Anne Rose licked her lips.

And then the gaze of the two heads to the center of the arena.
