"Too much chit chat." Jay harrumphed.
"!!!" The two comrades that were supposed to stop Melody got distracted, not believing that their captain was actually defeated in a single swing.
Melody smiled, using this distraction to swiftly loop around.
"Not good!" One of them noticed and turned around, trying to stop Melody.
However, Jay abruptly rushed toward them.
"He’s coming!" Both of them were forced to stop. After their captain was blown away just like that, it was obvious that they couldn’t stop Jay’s attack alone. They needed to work together.
Still, there was still the fourth person standing in Melody’s path. He was supposed to stop Clovis and the others, but because Melody was aiming for their captain, he had to stop him.
However, both Melody and Jay abruptly came to a halt, their hands covering their ears and their heads turning away.
"!!!" Their opponents didn’t understand what was happening, thinking this was their chance.
But the next instant, the flash grenade exploded.
*Bang!*
The explosion occurred for a split second, but it instantly caused the three fighters to scream out of pain.
"Aarrgh!" They were clutching their heads, feeling the painful ringing in their ears.
Melody continued running and leaped into the air, acrobatically wrapping her legs around the guy’s neck and tossing him to the ground.
"Gah!" The guy didn’t understand what was happening, while Melody simply changed her magazine and shot this guy in the chest.
This was the bullet that the organizer had asked them to use in case they were fighting against another group. The bullet was painful, but not lethal. The tip was also made of a ball of paint, so when it hit the guy, the paint splattered on his chest.
After that, Melody came to the knocked captain and shot him in the head as if there were a personal grudge. He was the one who insulted Ragna, so she thought this was justified.
Meanwhile, Jay punched the other two people, launching them into other trees.
Melody approached them and swiftly executed them with her bullets.
"It’s done." Melody harrumphed while changing back her magazine to the real one. "It’s annoying to use these fake bullets. Then again, I can understand that guns are powerful in the low level while gradually becoming less powerful in the higher level… It can’t be helped, I guess."
Melody sighed instead of getting overjoyed by the fact that they managed to defeat a group of Tier 3 people in an instant.
Jay, on the other hand, glanced at Clovis, who had actually killed the lizard. Its eyes had been pierced and its jaws were cut open. It was clear how this Tier 3 beast died under Clovis’s hand.
The ones who were shocked by Libation Fiesta’s strength were not only their enemies but also the people that watched them in the stadium.
They all dropped their jaws to the ground, unable to suppress their shock.

"W-what is going on?! Libation Fiesta has just defeated their enemy in an instant? I didn’t even have enough time to comment. Strong, very strong! They are very strong! Are they going to be the dark horse of this competition?" Shion screamed excitedly.
She hurriedly replayed the battle between Clovis and the Tier 3 beast.
"First of all, let’s calm down and check what has just happened. In the first exchange, it seems that the captain of White Bird said a few things. I’m not good at reading lips, but the Libation Fiesta clearly didn’t like it.
"Jay from Libation Fiesta chose this time to attack him. The captain of White Bird underestimated him because of the difference in Tier, which caused him not to use 100% of his power.
"However, the gap between tiers was not that easy to overcome. Even if he didn’t use his full power, unless there was a big gap in their strength, it was impossible for his opponent to blow him away in that manner.
"In other words, despite being a Tier 2, Jay Havenson was able to overwhelm him. I couldn’t really believe it, but his strength was unprecedented, even among Tier 3. Just imagine if he were a Tier 3 or a bit older so that he could develop his muscles more. That was unbelievable.
"Still, the one who held the key to the victory was actually their operator. She looped around to distract the opponents before shifting their focus back to Jay. That distraction allowed her to toss a flash grenade without anyone noticing.
"As a mobile operator, she was also expected to inform her teammates about it, so you could see here that she typed a few things on her device while moving.
"After that, she took down her opponent before securing their captain. Now that she has dealt the finishing blows to all these squads, White Bird is now officially eliminated.
"From my perspective, the biggest reason for their loss was that they underestimated Libation Fiesta. If I were to be their opponent, I wouldn’t underestimate them. They might become the biggest dark horse in this competition.
"Still…" Shion paused for a moment. "While we were too focused on their battle, we actually missed what happened on the other side.
"Their captain, Clovis, was able to eliminate the Tier 3 beast so swiftly. Unlike the humans, the beast wasn’t careless at all.
"We actually needed to slow down the video to actually see his swings. One… two… three… WHAT?! 12 swings in one second?! A normal Tier 2 could only do 4 to 5 swings in one second. What’s the deal with this group? How could they be so strong?
"He actually slashed the beast multiple times, hiding his real attack, which aimed for the beast’s eye. He did it twice and gradually cut down the beast from its mouth. After realizing that he couldn’t penetrate the outer skin, he began from the inside. Amazing, strong! I can’t describe their performance… No, I don’t even know whether I can win against them or not!
"Clovis and Jay Havenson, we will definitely hear more of them after this competition. And two of them still hadn’t made their moves… the other Tier 2 human, their sniper, Kanaria Renvolt and the Tier 3 guardian, Ragna… Ragna?!"
