It's the qualifying day for the Martial Arts Festival.

　We're in the amphitheater by the royal castle. This is where the qualifying round for tomorrow's main tournament will be held.

　If you're confident in your skills, any nation or race can participate, and there will be more than a thousand participants. From our class, me, Meldy and Ryushin will be participating as planned.


　By the way, the god of war has disappeared.

''Daughter of the Beast King, I'll arrange for you to fight with all your might. Oh, keep my manifestation a secret for a while. See you later!

　That's what he said.

　The only people in the temple were us and the Beast King soldier.
　We couldn't disregard the instructions of the god of this world, so we pretended that the fact that the god of war was manifested didn't exist.

　I'm curious what the god of war is planning to do, but we just have to do what we can now.

　The qualifying round is about to begin, but no announcements have been made about the lifting of the magic ban. So we have to follow the rule of no magic, which was announced in advance.

　There are qualifying rounds and main rounds in the Bushin martial arts competition.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　It's quite difficult to make it to the main competition in the Wudjin Martial Competition, but if you can do it, it's a very honorable thing to do, and it will make you more popular with the opposite s*x.

　Apparently, if you make it to the top 8 in the martial arts competition, you can build a harem. By the way, in Bestieth, big marriages are allowed for both men and women as long as both parties agree to it.

　There are also strong female beastmen, so about thirty percent of the martial arts competition participants were female beastmen. The female beastmen who came in fourth place in the past martial arts competition had taken in multiple male beastmen as their husbands afterwards.


''That's a huge number of people, though.

　Liushin was overwhelmed by the sheer number of people.

　Although the amphitheater was quite large, the fact that roughly a thousand large-sized beastmen were gathered together made it feel quite small.

　With such a large number of people, one would think that there would be the familiar a(...) re(...) of the Otherworldly Reincarnation.

　As an apparently poor looking human race standing alone among the muscular beast people, I am overwhelmingly easy to be targeted by the A(re)re.

　Yes, it's an event that involves a thug-like guy who thinks the otherworldly reincarnated people are weak and tries to mount them.

　That thug will be surprised to know the ability of the otherworldly reincarnates later on and will be astonished──that's the sequence of events, a-(a)re.

　I was actually a bit excited.

　I was looking forward to seeing the guy who looked down on me realize my power in the martial arts tournament and be amazed - to see that scene.


　But it wasn't to be.

　It's because the ten Beast King Soldiers, the strongest fighting force in this country, surrounded me, Meldi, and Ryushin, in order to avoid being entangled with some strange guy.

　It's not like the Beast King's orders or anything, but the Beast King Soldiers are volunteering to do things as if they were our guards.

　They are not as big as the Beastman King, but compared to the beastmen around them, they are one size larger. Those Beast King Soldiers would silently intimidate the surroundings, so the ordinary beastmen kept their distance from them.

　Therefore, in the amphitheatre, only this area was clearly less densely populated.

　However, there were some people who didn't mind the intimidation of those Beast King soldiers and approached us.

''Master Hurt, thank you so much for your help the other day. Thanks to you, we'll be able to fight again!

"I am the one who had my right leg regenerated. It's a dream come true for me to be able to attend a martial arts tournament like this again.

　The soldiers of the national army, who we helped the other day, came to thank us.


"When we can show our strength in this martial arts tournament, we would like to have you add me to your team, Mr. Hurt!

　The one who said this was a cat-like beastman female soldier.

　It's not a position to have subordinates.

　By the way, only cat-type female beastmen have a distinctive ending in Bestiary.

　It is said that a shifting hero in the past rescued a cat-type beastman and asked him to change the endings of the words to 'nya' in return.

　The cat-type beastman that the brave man rescued was the princess of the country at the time. In order to repay her debt, the princess called on all the cat-type beastmen in the country to change the ending to 'nya'.

I've heard that from then on, all the cat-type beastmen began to end in 'nya'.

　After the female soldiers left, I asked about the endings I was wondering about, and Meldy told me so.

'Heh, I see,'

　So, in other words, the influence of the old shifting heroes being perverts has been passed down to the present.......


　My old transferable hero, nice!
　You've done well!

　I thanked the great old brave man in my heart.

　After all, the end of a cat-type beastman is 'nya', right?

　Yeah, you know exactly what I'm talking about.


　While I was thinking about that, the preliminary rounds of the Martial Arts Competition began.

　It seems that in the old martial arts qualifiers, dozens of people used to have a battle royale where they fought at the same time, but as the number of participants has increased over the years, the selection method has gradually changed.

　In a battle royale, if the strongest players are in the same group, only a few will be able to advance to the main round, and the number of battles for the audience to enjoy in the main round will be reduced.

　The qualifying rounds are only open to martial arts participants, and there are no spectators in attendance. For this reason, there was no longer a battle royal.

　This year's qualifying round was a contest to see how much damage you could inflict on the targets placed on the fighting table. If possible, you can destroy the target.

　Apparently, the target is the same kind of target I blew up during the entrance examination. However, the targets here are all new, so I don't know how strong they are compared to the tattered targets I blew up.


　Divided into several blocks, the beastmen gathered in the martial arts club began attacking the targets in turn.

　Weapons were allowed to be used, but most of the beastmen attacked with their bare hands. Roaring sounds could be heard everywhere, but no beastmen were still able to completely destroy their targets.


　In such a situation──.

Hey, that beastman looks like he's going to use a sword.

　Liuxin found a beastman who was about to use his sword. The black panther beastman was carrying a sword that looked like a Japanese sword.

　He stood in front of the target with the sword in its sheath and then half-slumped down.


　And then──.

　A flash.

　The sword wielded at super speed sliced through the target.

　The top of the slashed target slowly fell onto the fighting table. At about the same time, the beastmen around them cheered.

''Oh, that beastman looks so strong!''

Yes.

　The cross section of the target that was cut was not stagnant.

　It's just like an iai master's technique.
　And that Japanese sword........

　Maybe, but a brave man who moved to another world passed on the sword's production method and the techniques to him. And the black panther beastman has inherited the technique.

　If I had to fight that beastman in the main battle, it would be a bit of a struggle.

　After that, the beastmen continued to attack the target, but no one was able to destroy the target after the black panther beastmen.


　Incidentally, the three of us, the Beast King Soldiers and a few other beastmen were designated as the last ones to come out.

　It wasn't to challenge the targets after they became tattered and low in strength or anything.

　It is difficult to prepare a large number of high-strength targets, and there are only a few spares and targets currently available on the fighting table, so if a strong man challenges and destroys the target first, he cannot be judged again.

　So those who have the best chance of destroying the target will be designated in the order of attacking in advance to the back.

　Many of the beastmen's challenges have ended.
　It's time for us to move on.

　Meldi was called out first.

　Now, let's see what you've been training for!
