“Why did this happen...” I mumbled.

Gramps was the only one who responded to my mutterings. “Give it up, Tenma. It’s a kind of obsession they have. Many beastfolk just want to test their own strength.”

Everyone else was watching on with great interest and cheering as I faced off with Amur’s mother, whose name was apparently Hana.

Hana ignored her surroundings and swung the spear she’d whacked Viscount Lobo and Amur with. It seemed like she was just warming up and was eager and ready to go. Meanwhile, I took out the wooden stick I always used for practice and did some light stretching exercises myself.

Honestly, I didn’t want to do this at all. It seemed like it would be a hassle whether I won or lost. But when I watched Hana move, I could tell that if I kept up that attitude, I’d lose easily. Amur and Blanca had said that she was the strongest among their people. I needed the same kind of determination I had when I fought against Blanca in the tournament or else this time I might walk away with more than just a broken arm.

“Are you ready?” she asked.

“Yes.”

“All right. Let’s begin. Blanca, will you give us the signal?”

“Sure. But first, let’s go over the rules. Weapons must either have their blades covered or have no sharp edges. Biting, eye-gouging, and attacks on vital points are prohibited. And if your opponent is KO’d, no more attacking them. The fight will end when one of you surrenders or when I decide that one of you is incapacitated and can’t continue. If both parties agree to these rules, take your positions,” Blanca said.

He’d had an apologetic look on his face as he explained the rules. He was probably hoping to find some way we could call off this fight, but I knew we wouldn’t be that lucky this time.

“Aaaand begin!” he called out.

“Take that!”

The moment Blanca’s hand dropped, Hana thrust her spear forward. She only let out one battle cry but delivered three spear strikes in quick succession, all in one breath.

This was my third time seeing this fighting style now, the first two being with Amur, so I had anticipated her doing that from the start. However, I didn’t expect three strikes at once, so I missed my chance to counter.

“Oops, I missed... Just kidding!” she said.

“Tch.”

Hana hadn’t expected me to dodge her first strike, so she let up for a moment. But that was just a trap—she tried to counter my attempt to close the distance between us by swinging her spear sideways.

I instinctively raised my wooden stick to block a direct hit, but I was forcefully knocked back. I’d expected her to be quite strong since she was Amur’s mother, but I didn’t expect her to be at this level.

“I might be in trouble,” I said.

“Really? You look like you’re having an easy time!”

Hana bantered with me while continuing to thrust her spear in my direction and keeping her distance. She varied the speed of her movements, making it hard for me to find a chance to get close.
