"What is this match? This is too intense!" Shion banged the table while shouting, "The battle on the left side might be interesting, but on the right side, Jay is fighting against Tarkan and Gilza. All three of them take pride in their strength.
"Apparently, Jay’s strength is higher than them. This is my first time seeing a Tier 2 human with that level of strength. I don’t think I can win against him to be honest.
"Meanwhile, Gilza has yet to fully utilize all his power. He has been overwhelmed during the first class, but it also gives them a general measurement of Jay’s strength. Tarkan shows it by deflecting Jay’s attack perfectly.
"This battle might end up deciding the winner. If Jay is defeated, Gilza and Tarkan can move toward Ragna and steal the flag. This is probably the reason why they chose this extremely aggressive strategy.
"On the other hand, if Jay is able to defeat both of them, he can regroup with his captain and take down the opposite team’s captain. In fact, they might be able to eliminate the remaining two first and take the enemy’s flag after getting all those points, which would result in their immediate victory.
"Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem that it’s possible for Gilza or Tarkan to stop Jay alone while the other moves toward the flag. After all, Jay can overwhelm them and they still have Ragna guarding the flag.
"Still… the most exciting match is in the center. What’s with this battle? I have failed as a commentator as I have a hard time finding words to describe this battle!"
As Shion said, the battle between Clovis and Erwin simply surpassed their tiers.
Clovis swung his swords, trying to take Erwin down. Yet despite the difference in their speed, Erwin could actually take on all of Clovis’s attacks.
"Haa… Ha…" Clovis had a hard time adjusting his pace as no matter how he struck him, Erwin managed to stop his attack.
He couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows, thinking, ’As expected, this guy is insanely strong. He knows that there is a big gap between our speed, considering he has Muscle Affinity.
’However, he is taking on all my attacks a few centimeters from his body. Due to his close posture, he doesn’t need to move too much, which bridge the gap between our speeds.
’But having blades a few centimeters away from your body is scary… one wrong mistake can end up being fatal.’
As Clovis said, even the referee that watched their battle had to be on high alert. The moment he saw Erwin making a mistake, he would stop Clovis’s attack so that it didn’t kill Erwin.
Yet Erwin had been keeping up with him for more than a minute.
In addition, Erwin wasn’t just defending. He also let out an attack.
"!!!" Clovis suddenly ducked as Erwin sent forth his wires. It missed Clovis and captured yet another tree.
That tree didn’t last long, as it was crushed with the movements of Erwin’s fingers.
’From what I can see, there are two types of wires. The first one is the durable one, which allow him to block my attack or even crush anything around us. He can even stand on it. The second type is the sharp one, which can actually slice those trees.’
Clovis was trying to think of a way to create a gap in Erwin’s defense. However, Erwin seemed to have the same thought, as this was the reason why he chose to show yet another type.

Before he retracted those wires, he actually attached them to the shattered rocks.
"!!!" Clovis felt something was wrong when Erwin made a gesture he had never seen before. It was as though he were pulling something. Clovis glanced back, noticing that the shattered rocks were flying toward him.
He clicked his tongue and threw himself to the side, rolling on the ground once before standing up again.
On the other hand, Erwin jumped back and leaped over his wire. After that, he shattered yet another tree and removed their hologram. Then he pulled them toward his own wires, which abruptly turned into a bowstring.
"Are you serious?" Clovis gritted his teeth as he used his vision to see the rocks’ movements clearly. After that, he struck the rocks one by one in rapid succession, deflecting them away from him.
When he succeeded in parrying those bullet-like rocks, Erwin actually stood up on top of his wire as though showing Clovis that Clovis couldn’t win in his territory.
"Bastard…" Clovis actually smiled excitedly. "What are you? Are you going to call yourself a spiderman next?"
"Come on. I don’t want to be a copycat. Call me, Erwin!"
"…That’s just your name." Clovis’s eyebrows twitched. Even though he looked like he was wasting his time, Clovis actually used this time to come up with another plan.
It was clear that going pass him would be hard. In addition, the fact that Erwin had moved around from one side to another meant he had blocked the entire area with his wires. Even if Jay or the others managed to break through, they would still have to be wary of the wires.
’What should I do? With the fact that he has just shown me another type of wire, it’s clear that his trick doesn’t stop here. There might be another type of wire that I don’t know about… like an invisible wire or something. Fighting him in his territory would be bad, should I lure him away?’
Clovis had just gotten an idea. Since it would be hard to defeat Erwin, he should change his target while luring Erwin out.
Once Clovis got this new plan, he immediately turned around and ran away.
"What?! Are you running away? You coward! I misjudged you!" Erwin shouted.
"What coward? This is a tactical retreat!" Clovis snorted.
Upon hearing those words, Erwin actually smiled. "Because it’s tactical that it can be predicted!"
In that moment, all Imemine’s members actually turned around. Roberto covered the rear while chasing after Clara, who was already retreating.
At the same time, Gilza and Tarkan leaped back as though they were trying to gain some distance. But that was just a trick because they instantly ran back.
Only two people from Libation Fiesta realized what was actually happening. It was Melody and Clovis.
Shion dropped her jaw and shouted, "W-What? All Imemine’s members are turning around and retreating… And their direction is… toward Clovis!"
