Recap : Kazuma got the armor and sword of the Legendary Hero Satou

I woke up in the morning, in the forest. First thing, I did was to change my looks. As I planned with Chris, a week ago, I would enter in the tournament with a fake id. I changed my current clothes to a black robe, with a black hood and to top it off, I wore a mask. I had bought these clothes earlier before leaving. All I needed to do is return to Axel and ask the teleported to teleport me to the capital. I had already registered for the tournament and I had one of the tickets. So, I packed up my stuff and stored my sword and armor by magic room.

I reached Axel by teleport and found out, tournament will be starting in couple of hours. I went to a restaurant to eat and then ask the teleporter to send me to the capital, had to show him the ticket to allow me. My alias name is Champion, entering the tournament anonymously was allowed. I am not in the capital, but first I need to pick up my weapons from the blacksmith. I used lurk to sneak around and made my way towards the blacksmith. I entered his house to meet him.

He greeted me, " Welcome Kazuma, your weapons are ready to go ", I had removed my mask so that he don't ask any questions and recognise me. I took the sword, the three dagger which I asked him to make, he also arranged the magic boots which asked him for so I paid him 100M Eris in return. Now, I was ready for the tournament. I put one dagger near my belt and other two daggers inside my socks. I wore the new magic boots which increases my speed by quite a bit. I was going to use the sword which I got from him in the tournament. I headed over to the castle, asked for the venue of the tournament. I arrived at the venue, it was grand. It's was a pretty well made arena. I could see all the important person sitting in the vip lounge and the commoners standing behind the ropes.

I passed my time, till it was my time to fight. I met a lot of people in the waiting room, most of them were adventurers since the reward was they could ask for any weapon and the kingdom will give the best they have of that weapon in the treasury. It was time for my first dual, there were 32 participants, with knockout matches.

I was up against an vanguard class by the looks of it, the fight started and he charged right at me without a single thought. I evaded the attack and stab him in his hand with my dagger near my belt. He dropped the sword because of that, I kicked him from behind and pointed my sword at his neck and asked him to surrender which he did without any questions. Well, that was an easy battle, with that being done, now I move to round of 16. I am again waiting for my turn for dual and waiting for some time, my time has finally came.

I proceeded to the arena once again, this time I was against a mage class since she had a staff and was wearing a robe. The dual started and he threw a fireball at me which I countered by create water. He went for another and I repeated it. He used freeze which I countered by create fire. As I thought, his moves aren't that strong and he doesn't have any strong moves. I rushed him and used create earth and create wind to blind him and use steal to grab his staff and used bind to finish it off. I went to the waiting room, only 8 contestants remain now. I was waiting again for my match, after some time I was called for my dual which will allow me to reach semi-finals.

I arrived at the arena yet again but this time, I was again a female knight. She seemed pretty strong so I played it safe. She closed the distance slowly and got pretty close and then she charged me with her weapon and I barely managed to dodge it. I took some distance and used create fire to damage her but it she dodged it using her sword. I didn't want to use any strong moves since I am afraid of damaging them or killing them and most of my moves are killer moves. I used steal on her, hopping to nab her sword and praying that I don't get her panties. Luckily, I got her sword and threw it away and charged at her with own sword. I used freeze while charging on her feets to stop any kind of movement and made her surrender. This fight allowed me to move to the semi-finals. I was at the waiting room again waiting for the other contestants result. I saw a person with hood coming looking he/she won. The other contestant was pretty damaged. Looks like there might be at least a strong opponent in this tournament after all. I was called for the my match once again.

I was pretty hyped to see my opponent and looks like my opponent was swordsmen, best class for people who prefer swords. This is an advanced class as well. We took our stance as the fight started, I used freeze to froze him up in an instance since I want to end this fight quickly. He was frozen solid in the arena now, I fell down showing I exhausted my mana and took out a manatite to recover my mana. I did this act to make them believe I have pretty low mana reserves. Guards came in and took that person away and was waiting for my opponent to come.

When my opponent came, everyone started shouting, Alice! Alice! . I thought to myself, this person is also using a fake identity but he/she seems strong. The fight started and he/she used a move similar to my sacred sword but I managed to block it with my sword. I believe , I told Iris to join this competition so I had a feeling this Alice is Iris, herself. She started holding her sword, and starting saying something which I believe was a really strong move if she putting that much effort in it. She used that attacked again but it was powerful enough to make me loose my grip. There is no doubt this is Iris.

I am confused on what to do now, I can't hurt her neither she would let me force her to submission. I have no choice, I used freeze on her hands to try to make her loose her sword but she dodged it easily. I am going to really on it once again, " Steal ". I got her panties, ah my stupid steal which I hid in my pockets immediately. She doesn't seem to noticed and charged right at me. I blocked her with my sword and tried to get rid of her sword but, her sword and she, both were powerful so it wasn't easy. I got some distance and used steal again on her, this time managed to get a ring. I don't even knew she wore a ring, I also hid it in my pocket. I tried steal again and got a necklace this time which I hid it in my pocket as well. She seemed to notice that I am stealing stuff from her. She charged at me, since I didn't want to damage her, I tried to avoid but she was too quick and stabbed me in stomach. But, before she could get her sword out , I caught her tiny hands and used one of my daggers to force her to surrender. It didn't work at all and she kicked me instead, I was pretty wounded, I didn't knew what to do as I had dropped my sword too.

I had no choice but use my special weapons which were currently stored using Magic room. I used sacred heal to heal myself and I stood up again. After seeing what I just did, she was pretty confused. A normal person shouldn't be able to stand again neither should be able to heal himself like that. I shouted, " Iris give up, I don't want to hurt you neither you want to hurt me right? ". Even though I couldn't see her face but I felt like she was staring at me, I felt a bit scared. I wonder what to do, but suddenly remembered. I stole a necklace during the fight and Chris told me that was the divine relic so my mission was done. According to that logic, I stored my weapon and my armor using magic room and shouted, " I surrender ". Everyone was shocked by change of events and Iris was standing still too. I removed my mask and the hood and showed my face and went towards Iris. I patted her head and said, " You did pretty well, you proved your strength ". She hugged me after hearing that and I returned the hug as well. She removed the hood and said, " Thank you, onee-san ", and gave me a really cute smile. She tortures me, how can even do something to a girl this cute. She is so cute, you know.

We were summoned to the hall, since Iris won and I was the one fighting her, they called to discuss what was this all about. Claire and Rain were waiting for us, we were scolded and then Iris told them the reason they couldn't just do anything and left out a sigh. I was given the prize since, I was the last contestant and Iris was disqualified since she wasn't allowed to participate at the first place.

Iris took me to her room, and asked about how I was able to stop her attacks and how did I feel up so quickly. I told about the special sword which I got and about the weapons of the legend Satou, I kept that part a secret. I also said, " Are you wearing your panties ", I stole it during the battle so tried teasing her a bit. She said, " Yes, umm... Wait a min, they are gone ", she was freaking out about what happened. I replied in a teasing voice, " Do you want these back? ", taking it out of my pocket, her face was so red in embarrassment when I showed her, " Onee-san please return them back ", she said in a low tone. I laughed inside seeing her and said, " Here, you can I have them back. I was just trying to steal your sword to end the fight but luck wasn't in my favor ", I said while giving her back. After that we chatted for a bit, I roamed around while waiting for the staff which I ordered as my prize. After not too long, Claire came and handed over my prize and left after sometime.

This was a fun tournament, I got to fight my little sister, got a ring to keep as a souvenir, got a staff for yun-yun and also got this divine relic. I was thinking this while standing outside my mansion after using teleport. I went inside, and saw yun-yun relaxing so I said, " Yun-yun, I have a gift for you ". She noticed me with excitement and said, " A gift for me? What could it be? ".

I handed over the package and she began un-wrapping it and she was amazed to saw a really amazing staff. I said, " I got this staff for you, let me know about it's quality ". She said, " Thanks, this staff is just brilliant. It's made out of the finest material, it must be expensive right? ". I felt proud after getting praised and seeing her happing for her gift so I said, " Price, isn't the matter. If you liked it, it's worth it ", I kept the whole tournament thing secret. I asked about Chris and she said, " Chris is in her bedroom, she was really stressed and asked me to leave her alone ". I wonder why she is stressed so I went upstairs to see her leaving the yun-yun behind who is really happy.

I said while knocking on the door, " Umm... Chris, may I come in. I have something for you ". She replied, " The door is open, you can come in ". I went inside and sat beside her and handed over the divine relic / necklace and said, " Is this what you were looking for? "

" Yes "

" Yun-yun told me you are stressed about something, would I mind sharing it with me? "

" I was just worried about you, will you be able to do the job or not "

" You don't need to worry about me, I am pretty strong "

I sat with her and talked for a while and left to relax in my room. But, someone knocked on the main door, I got to check what's the matter. Yun-yun was reading the letter and it almost looked like she was going to cry, I don't know what was written in the letter but I assumed it was pretty bad.
