Nero, The Legendary Hunter

Nero's victory was already premeditated and even if the withdrawal tends to be anticlimactic, the public that saw a good fight screamed and applauded.

The fact that Robert was able to cause so much trouble for Nero, even forcing her to use three magical beasts was enough to demonstrate his power. Hence, the audience was quite inclined to call out to him and congratulate him, even though he actually lost.

Nero, who was most honored by the applause and praise, continued in the arena and waved to the audience a few times.

It was necessary to say that Yui and Choko were the viewers most motivated to root for her.

"Do you wish to continue?" It was a silly question since if Nero wants to win the tournament, she would have to keep going, however, she still had to ask since that's how things work.

Nero nodded, as expected: "Yes, I will continue."

This time she didn't make her summons come back, the magical beasts were close to him, two dragons flying just above her head and BigBlue at her left side, inclining her head towards her hand.

Nero rubbed BigBlue's smooth head gently.

The dragons in the air looked at this and seemed to be jealous of BigBlue.

However, they didn't descend from the sky, Thor and Apollo had a considerable level of intelligence, and he knew they should be prepared for the next confrontation.

"On the right, the second member of the Os Lobos Team, Felix Silva!" The judge shouted with excitement in her voice.

Opposite her, someone entered the arena.

It was a stoic-faced boy with eyes like a dead black fish. His hair was very short, almost bald yellow and he was about 190 cm tall.

He wore a suit of medium-weight armor with a bow that slung across his back.

The teacher continued to say: "On the left side, as you already know, this Nero Diaz decided to continue!"

Once again applause and whistles echo.

Only this time they weren't as excited when it was Robert's turn.

Well, it can't be helped, Robert had the most chance of beating Nero, and as strong as Felix could be, they didn't think much of him when going up against Nero.

In particular, they looked at the two lightning and fire dragons in the air and then at Felix. The comparison of the two is... At best it is still meaningless to compare them.

The power that the dragons in the air exuded was too overwhelming, but in comparison, Felix looked like a promising Ranger at best perhaps? The dead fish eyes, along with his slovenly demeanor, made people not think highly of him.

"Felix," Felix said simply: "Advanced Archer, Level 35."

Like his appearance, his voice was tired and without much emotion.

"Nero," Nero answered simply.

The teacher saw that they were silent, and he shouted: "Ready? To start!"

The instant she screamed, Felix seemed to have woken up from a long sleep and the aura around him completely changed!

Pulling the bow from his back, his eyes became sharp as a hawk's.

In the next instant, pulling the bowstring beyond its possible limit, he released.

*Whoosh!*

The skill he used was related to wind and when he shot the arrow, the arrow was enveloped by Wind Mana, causing the arrow to spin at 4000 rpm.

"BigBlue, water jet, Apollo, fireball breath." It was the first time Nero had commanded them.

With Nero's words, BigBlue shot a jet of water toward the rotating arrow.

However, even when it lost some of its spin and speed, the arrow continued to advance toward Thor.

Then, the fireball that came out of Apollo's mouth collided with the arrow, and although the arrow resisted a little, soon the arrow exploded along with the fireball!

*BOOM!*

The impact of the explosion caused a reaction of ground dust and a small gale.

"I quit." Felix's once valiant appearance reverted to his former stoic expression.

After admitting defeat, he already started to leave the arena leaving everyone dumbfounded.

His team kind of already expected this to happen, since although he was hardworking, if it's useless, he prefers to avoid it and when using his most powerful attack, Felix realized the difference in powers and gave up.

The applause was weak when it came back to itself, some even felt like booing.

"Winner, Nero Diaz!" Although a little shocked, the teacher still manages to keep her professional self and announces Nero's victory.

Although the students thought little of Félix, the teachers liked him a lot. That kind of way of thinking and acting is very appropriate for a Hunter.

To be rash and never give up upon realizing the immense difference in power is just asking to be tortured to death.

Nero only needed to win one more time and so, Team Tamers B was the winner of the tournament.

Meanwhile, on Team Os Lobos...

"I don't want to go, I know I'm going to lose badly..." A girl with an Adachi on her back, very disproportionate to her size, spoke.

She had light blue hair and eyes as black as obsidian.

"I..." The other remaining member said in fear: "She is too powerful, I am afraid of pain..."

The other member of the team was a very tall boy, 232 cm tall and even more muscular than Robert, it was almost unbelievable that someone like that had such a meek and fearful personality.

Robert looks at the team members and sighs.

"Okay, then let's give up," Robert said decisively.

Robert knew they were strong, but like Felix, and him, they wouldn't stand a chance either. And, being the weakest of the bunch, it was virtually certain that if they went and fought, they would lose.

When the teacher who was the judge heard about the Os Lobos team's decision... She could only announce it to the public.

"The Wolves folded, and the Tamers B Team won the tournament!!" She screamed as loudly and excitedly as possible.

While it was anticlimactic to have a forfeit, it was the tournament winners' victory, she needed to lift the crowd's spirits!

The audience of students and teachers started to applaud, but Yui and Choko were dissatisfied with such a weak reaction and started to shout and clap in unison.

"Nero, Nero!!"

*Chap!Chap!* *Chap-Chap-Chap-Chap!! *

"Nero, Nero!!"

*Chap!Chap!* *Chap-Chap-Chap-Chap!! *

Buoyed by the enthusiasm of Choko and Yui and the rest, the audience jumped on the bandwagon and as they did while looking at Nero with two dragons and a giant tortoise, they felt it was the right thing to do.

"Nero, Nero!!"

*Chap!Chap!* *Chap-Chap-Chap-Chap!! *

Nero called the team members.

It had to be said that even if she single-handedly won the tournament, they were still members of the winning team.

When they first appeared, many who despised the tamer club looked at them with envy.

Anderson, Paloma, and even Maisa were surprised by that kind of envious look. After all, it was the first time since they started attending this school that they had received this kind of stare. Before, the most they received 'positively' was a look of pity.

"We won, we won!" Paloma finally noticed that they were going to receive the grand prize, and hugged Maisa as she jumped.

"Yes yes!" Maisa was also moved. They would gain a Rank C+ skill!

Anderson refrained from hugging them, as they were girls while he was a boy, but he was also invigorated as he watched the teacher bring four skill books toward them.

"Congratulations to all of you for winning!" The teacher said with excitement in her voice, "These are the prizes for winning the tournament, please accept them."

Along with the books, she handed them a paper with the skill information.

"Nero, see and choose first," Maisa said. The others agreed.

"Serious? So I won't be polite, thank you." Nero took the paper and began to read.

Description of skills:

[<Five Ghost Slash> - Rank C+: Five different types of slashes can be used with swords, each slash is harder to learn than the other, and the fifth slash can be considered a special attack with a higher margin of damage inflicted]

[<Light Healing> – Rank C+: Can use water element or light element to heal someone. The healing value is based on both the user's maximum attack and the quality of the elements]

[<Calm mind> – Rank C+: Just like a lake surrounded by nature, this skill has the ability to activate and make the user's mind calm for 10 minutes. Very useful in a desperate situation, or even to learn something you are struggling to understand]

[<Four Leaf Clover> – Rank C+: In theory, this skill is able to increase 30% of the user's luck, even if this value is only based on a few Hunters who used this skill, it can be said as a good skill buff to be used in dungeons, stipulated duration time: 20-30 minutes]

Nero was between the healing skill and the luck-increasing skill... However, considering her stats, luck was much more attractive.

"I'll take this one." Nero took the book <Four Leaf Clover>.

"Of course, of course." Maisa smiled.

Paloma said; "Maisa, you are the next to choose."

She felt that of these, only Maisa helped even a little, so she thought it right that she was the next one to choose.

Maisa looked at Anderson.

"Yes, choose first, I don't mind being last," Anderson said.

Of the abilities, the one he least wanted was the one Nero chose. Increasing luck didn't seem advantageous to him after reading the paper either.

Maisa thanked her and chose <Calm mind>. She has a tendency to get irritated easily, it would be good if she could get something to prevent her from ending up causing a mess like the one she did last year...

When it was Paloma's turn, she chose <Light Heal>. As a tamer, she wished she had a healing ability to support her magical beasts.

Though Anderson wasn't much for using swords, he could either trade with someone later for something more useful to him or even start learning swordsmanship now. Anyway, it seemed to be a good skill.
