"Those three are the main descendants of the three most powerful clans in this Area. Alfred Lonur, Saul Arlet, and Yulz Mess… while the first two have the talent to make you the main disciple of any sect in this Area, Miss Yulz is more impressive.
Despite being quite young, she is already stronger than most of the elders of any sect… for that reason, although they are not convinced, the other two young masters can only bow their heads in front of her. "

...I can see that by looking at her status that appeared when she touched my cheek. There are quite a few cool things about this one.
When the onesan moves to start talking with the girls around me, Elder Turlok gives me a detailed explanation of who these people were. I already had some suspicions, but this confirms these.
From what I knew, the 7 Mountains Sect was considered a mid-level organization in this Area. So even important people from other sects shouldn't put as much pressure on these elders as they showed on their faces earlier. The only chance for this to happen could just be due to those three great families.
The ex-king had told me a bit about these families before… each one specialized in a different way of fighting. Their fists, Their feet, and swords. So, with this as a base, it is clear that the Lonur family uses fighting techniques with their fists, the Arlet family swords, and the last one, the Mess family their legs.
"While any of these families can oppress any organization in this area with their power, the good thing is that… most of the time that people from one of these families go out, they meet members of the others. And as you just saw, things end the same way as now... fighting each other.
Well, more than a coincidence, surely each of these families verifies the movements of their enemies. "
…Yes, I also remember the stupidity of these 3 families. Because of this, most of the other organizations have taken advantage of disputes among them to their profit. Mainly the groups that are dedicated to the production of things. Like alchemists, scribes, blacksmiths, and the like.
Probably instead of ending up their history at the hands of one of their most hated enemies, these families find their end in these organizations that are slowly getting stronger taking advantage of the whole situation.
...Pretty stupid, right?
Anyway, it's not like this has to do with me either. If things end up like this in the end, they only can blame themselves for it. And that has nothing to do with me.
Or so I thought, but… after seeing this situation, it's probably impossible that I don't end up getting involved in all of this! My eyes still refuse to part with that pair of legs… no, well… if I have to take part in this, it's clear who I'll end up supporting!
...I-I'm not doing it just for that pair of meaty legs... I mean, for Yulz-onesan. It is clear that the main descendant of the Lonur family is a total idiot… and although Saul of the Arlet family seemed a little better, he still does not convince me!
The latter may seem like he wanted to help out before, but... I'm pretty sure he's just taking the opportunity to end up having a favorable impression of the girls by "saving" them from that gorilla! The time when this guy appeared was too perfect!!
If I were in his place, I would have done the same… so I was almost 100% sure that the boy's target was also the girls around me! Only his procedure to get them was different!
Because of this, if I had to ally myself with someone else, then there was only one option left and that was none other than Yulz's family. She seems the most sensible of these 3 people… and that she is a beautiful onesan only adds merit to this!
[Fufufu… and that merit I think occupies at least 90% of your reason for being more biased towards the Mess family, right?]
W-Well… probably not that much… maybe only 50%!
[…]
...O-Okay, 80%! 20% is still due to a head on my shoulders consideration! I'm sure of that!!
…probably.
In the end, Yulz-onesan takes a seat between the girls as she seems to have gotten along with some of them. Although, I think it was more like she felt more comfortable around these girls. As if they had found members of the same species and therefore could join the group quickly. Yes... it seems that beauties are a totally different species...
[Oh ~ So you are the predator of this new species, Alexander? Fufufu~]
…undoubtedly! I will try to become their main predator!!
Joking aside, the inner disciple tournament starts and we all begin to see the effort of these people.
…This is not much different than the previous fights. Perhaps the only change is that most of these people are between the 7th to 9th limit of the first soul level. Maybe because of that, being a bit tougher than the people who fought earlier, their wounds don't seem as heavy as before. Furthermore, this must also be due to their fighting skills being a bit higher.
Even so, still the main factor in deciding the victors is the physical strength of the individual. It seems that, for example, someone in the 8th limit beats another in the 9th is very rare... or at least I have not seen this happen until now.
Also... perhaps to see what happened previously with the external disciples, many end up giving up quickly if they see that the difference in strength with their opponent is big. Or could it be because this group has the most to lose if it gets hurt badly? Or maybe they just aren't as desperate as the outer disciples.
Either way, thanks to all this, and that the number of internal disciples was less, the fights this time are determined more quickly and the tournament progresses with more speed. Much faster than before, the 10 lucky disciples who would rise to core disciples are determined.
Of course, all of these people are on the 9th limit. Also, strangely...
"Those who won seem to be quite young ..."
Yes, as Saeko says, these 10 people are between the ages of 18 to 25… which was a bit strange. There are several inner disciples in the 9th limit who exceed those ages... and I think that since they surely have more experience, many of those should be a little stronger than the ones who won!
"...the truth is that there are probably many disciples older than them who were able to win, but ... they surely retired to allow those others to win."
"E-Eh? Why would they do that? They are missing a great opportunity doing that, right? "
I agreed with what Rei asked at Turla's explanation. In the previous fights, we saw how the disciples almost killed each other trying to win… and here people were doing the opposite! Not surprisingly, many girls find this strange too.
But... I think I understand a little why.
"Well… while those people might have been able to win the tournament, they could only continue as disciples for a few years. Surely it was more advantageous for them to win the favor of some of those people who could last longer as core disciples and had a greater talent, than just being core disciples for a few years. "
Cleirsa affirms my thoughts. Certainly winning was not the only way to take advantage of this tournament...
"Well, it seems like this is the time when all of you show off your skills, let's go."
"Hahaha boy, don't let us down!"
As Grandpa Delna says, since the part of the tournament for the sect's inner disciples ended, now it was the turn for the core disciples to fight. So, after the words of these elders, we all started walking towards the arena together with Yulz who follows our group.
"Oh~ Are you going to participate too, little one?"
"No, I came to win this tournament not just to participate, Yulz onesan~!"
"Fufufu, is that so? So… if you win, how about this onesan reward you too~? "
"R-Really ?! W-What kind of reward?!! "
"Let's see~… you didn't want me to play with you? If you win, then this onesan would play with you for as long as you want~"
"... g-glup"
As we walked towards the ring, Yulz-onesan who stands next to me starts talking.
As she makes such a proposal to me, a-again she begins to play with her skirt as if wanting to show more those perfect legs… I can only swallow the saliva that quickly accumulates in my mouth when seeing such a scene! My imagination starts working at 200% thanks to my [Parallel Thinking] ability!!
I-I know she's joking with me, but… anyway, I already had the goal of winning this tournament to get the technique I want, so… this only motivates me even more to get first place! Also… with this, I now have a legitimate reason to spend time with Yulz! I don't mind being a little kid that was persistent and throwing a tantrum to make onesan keep her word!!n
"Alexander-kun, didn't you mention earlier that you wanted to meet the [Thousand cauldrons] sect's people?" It seems that now you will be able to fulfill your wish… those people are from that sect."
Wiping the saliva that was starting to come out of my mouth since at some point I had forgotten to swallow it, I look in the same direction as Grandpa Delna. There were several old men in robes and long beards. On their clothes, the symbol of the sect could be clearly seen.
…I don't see any cute girls in that group, so old woman Lena's granddaughter shouldn't be with them. Well, in her words, her granddaughter was the goose that laid the golden eggs for them, therefore they shouldn't expose her so easily.
That's a bit unfortunate.
Well… I don't know exactly the level of strength of that sect either. I should first find out that to make a move.
"Why don't we go with them, Grandpa Delna?"
"…is fine"
With that goal in mind, I make a request to him. So after thinking about it for a bit, he nods his head and gives the go-ahead for this. We immediately changed our course a bit and headed towards those people.
"Oh~ Isn't that the former King Delna? It's been a while since we've seen each other "
"Hello to all of you, I hope you have been well"
"Hahaha, well, we have been very good, thank you for your good wishes, Elder Delna. In the same way, I also wish you were well.
Oh~ From what I can see, your granddaughter has also become a very beautiful princess. You are a very lucky Grandpa for having such a granddaughter. "
"Yes, thanks…"
We standing a few steps behind for the elders to give their greetings between them, they begin to have quite a friendly conversation… I really couldn't imagine that these people would kidnap a cute girl with the naked eye. They seem like caring old men who wouldn't hurt anyone.
…But that's just a hoax. Seeing their auras with my eyes, I know without a doubt these grandparents weren't cute at all!
Finally, Grandpa Delna mentions why we come here.
"The truth is that my granddaughter's fiancé was a bit interested in alchemy, and since there is no one better in this area than their sect in this, he wanted to chat a bit with you."
"Oh~ That's splendid, there are never enough alchemists in this world. I wouldn't mind giving the young friend some advice~"
"..."
…Fuck, if Lena heard those words, she would probably spit blood! Or she might even have a heart attack!! If these people thought that way, then they wouldn't have attacked the old woman's organization!!
I just curse them in my mind for cheeky and, on the surface, I put a smile on my face when the elderly Delna points at me and the person speaking to him rolls their eyes on me. For now was not the time to antagonize them...
I take a few steps forward to try to talk to them and see if I can get some valuable information out of these people. Unfortunately, things never turn out as expected ...
"Sh-Shit… it sucks! You old folks, don't you know the meaning of the word bath? !! "
