The Martial Heart Festival of the King of Midgar is about to be held.
The registration day was packed with people.
Every person here registered with full confidence, wanting to win the Martial Heart Festival.
Jimina Sene was among them.
At this moment, a big man approached Jimina Sene.
"It's always you, this incompetent fellow, who registers, making the audience dissatisfied. Look at you, looking like you're about to die at any moment. I advise you not to participate in the Martial Heart Festival, or you might be beaten to death on stage!"
"If everyone's strength is like a weakling such as yourself, I definitely won't be beaten to death!" Jimina Sene retorted.
"Are you looking for death, you scoundrel?"
"Anyway, I'm definitely stronger than a guy like you!"
The burly man grabbed Jimina Sene and dragged him into an alley, then proceeded to beat Jimina Sene severely.
"Weren't you so talkative just now? Why don't you fight back! You weakling!"
"Useless trash!"
The burly man kept punching and insulting Jimina Sene.
Jimina Sene neither fought back nor retorted.
He appeared completely weak and helpless.
Jimina Sene endured the beating for three minutes.
"Stop it! If you keep hitting him like that, I won't be polite!"
A female warrior with short blue hair and blue armor walked over.
"You're Annerose!"
Queton, the burly man, said, looking at the person who spoke.
"That's right, stop it. If you want to continue, I can accompany you!"
Queton chose to stop. Annerose in front of him was a celebrity, having summoned an ancient hero spirit during the Goddess's Trial in the Holy Land. At that time, only two people had managed to summon one, and she, Annerose, was one of them. Annerose's strength was definitely not weak.
Queton would bully others, but he didn't want to be bullied himself.
Annerose was clearly stronger than him. If he continued to fight, he would likely be the one lying on the ground getting beaten.
Queton turned and left.
Some people around were still egging him on.
"Queton, are you just going to let it go like that? How boring!"
"Shut up! If you say one more word, come and spar with me!" Queton retorted.
The other party was clearly trying to stir up trouble, wanting him to fight Annerose so he would get beaten. He wasn't stupid.
At this moment, Annerose came to Jimina Sene's side.
"Are you alright!"
"I'm fine!" Jimina Sene stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and replied.
Annerose observed him closely and found that Jimina Sene had no injuries at all.
Queton had hit him very hard just now.
"You can withstand his attacks without getting hurt, but why didn't you fight back!"
"What's the benefit of defeating him?"
"But he completely disregarded your dignity just now, he pinned you to the ground and beat you!"
"Hmph, he was just tickling me! It's been a long time since I've seen blood. This Martial Heart Festival might become interesting!"
After speaking, Jimina Sene turned and left.
"Wait, what's your name?"
"Jimina Sene!"
After he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew.
Annerose was forced to close her eyes.
When she opened them again, Jimina Sene had already disappeared.
Annerose chased out of the alley but saw nothing.
"Where did that strange person go?"
Annerose looked back at the alley.
"How strange, how could such a strong wind blow in such a narrow alley!"
"Could Jimina Sene be someone whose strength is unfathomable!"
At this moment, Sid was nearby, invisible.
"I'm giving myself full marks for this move. I successfully attracted the attention of a prominent figure! And I displayed a special sense of mystery by appearing in the weakest possible state!"
"Excellent!"
Sid almost laughed out loud... Sino received a ticket from his older sister, Claire.
A ticket for the audience seats of the Martial Heart Festival.
It was a seat right next to Princess Alice.
Claire was now representing Midgar Academy, so Alice gave her a VIP ticket.
Sino had no intention of participating in the Martial Heart Festival. He wasn't very interested in it; it was all too weak anyway. He just wanted to watch the Martial Heart Festival like a cricket fight.
There was no need for him to go up.
Sid was in the ordinary audience seats. This was just right; Sid didn't want to attract attention.
A few days later, the Martial Heart Festival elimination rounds began.
Because of the large number of participants, the elimination rounds were held in any convenient location, simply by drawing a circle on the ground as the arena.
Jimina Sene's opponents in the first few matches inexplicably collapsed.
This shocked countless people.
Including Queton, who had severely beaten Jimina Sene.
Jimina Sene thus steadily advanced into the main competition.
