"Fool, what are you doing with your body that badly?
"Hahahahaha, that's humiliating.
The battle with Oni and Kazan resulted in victory.
But I must say, it came at a great cost.
"The muscles in my right arm and left leg are torn and the bones are hard to find without cracks or breaks. Bruises and cuts are a waste of time. The damage has reached her internal organs. How could you pick up a win from that demon with this body?
Without trying to hide his expression of dismay, the supervisor looks at the chart given to him by the treating physician and sees me lying on the bed in a cast and bandages.
I look like a model of a seriously injured person.
Fighting with a non-magical body took a toll on my body more than I expected.
According to the doctor's report, there are no after-effects and the patient can be treated, but we won't be able to make it to the next match. Do you have an excuse, Jiro?
I wish I could say that I did, but unfortunately I don't have any.
Even though he knew he was going to lose, he wanted to win, and he challenged the warrior to win, and there was no excuse for him to do so.
The price of victory is an honorable wound.
You can't heal a serious wound, no matter how much magic it is.
It's not like a game where you can recover your HP with magic or medicine and then challenge for the next battle.
His right hand, which he had struck directly, was fractured and his left leg, which had sustained the opponent's momentum, was also torn and his shin bone was cracked vertically.
I had bruises all over my body, which was slammed into me like a drum, and the damage I received from the impact affected my internal organs and bones.
The least damage was done to my head and face area.
The most damaging part of them was the last action he took by himself, which is not funny.
If you hadn't forced yourself to do that last action, at least your right hand and left leg would not have been injured.
To conclude, you need a miracle of a god to recover at once.
"I didn't think that even Vals-san's power couldn't heal you.
"Of course, only your body can manipulate time with your technology, so speeding up your self-healing ability won't do you any good if you heal in a weird way. It would be different if you could manipulate time in detail, but you can't, can you?
"I hate myself for being inexperienced enough to still be able to operate it roughly,
My body was so battered that I had to be treated in stages, and it would take about three days to fully heal. In general, it's unusual that a wound that cannot be recovered is completely healed in just three days, but that's just because it's an insane (fantasy) technique.
I asked my trusty time-space spirit, Valus-san, to advance the time and ask her to heal it, but...
You can try it, but you'll end up with strange connections to your bones. Also, it hurts like hell because you can speed up the healing process, but you can't ease the pain.
I was hesitant to confirm with Vals, who was anxious to see if I was really going to do it, and I checked the contents.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it happen.
It's not just a matter of spraying potion to heal a serious injury, but also requires medical knowledge of which part of the body needs which medicine and in what dosage, which I, a layman, can't do anything about it.
On top of that, the pain from the healing process comes at you during the time acceleration.
I had to give up the time-accelerated healing method because I had to take damage in order to heal myself.
With such an injury, I would not be able to challenge the next match, and I would have to abstain from the next match.
The devil didn't just tolerate such an event, but came to lecture me after I finished the treatment while explaining the situation.
The supervisor says that I'm the winner and I'm in ruins, while Kizan, the loser, is already healed and ready to go, and that there are voices in the demon king's army that want me to be eliminated and Kizan to move on.
"I compliment you on your victory, but you should allow yourself a little more leeway. Now I have to do some unnecessary processing.
"Well, what's the rubbish disposal?
We saw what you can do, and now these nostalgic old traditionalists are screaming and crying that your victory is invalid. Your victory is not valid.
"Uh? I'm ready to blow myself up, and you think that's not a victory?
That's it. The fact that Kizan is refusing to admit defeat and advance is a relief, as the Onion King and I have stopped the voices of those who tried to undo your victory. My next opponent will be Jiro's unbeaten opponent, well, if this continues, my next opponent will soon be defeated as well.
I thanked him for defending my efforts while listening to his b*tc*y sermons, with a wry smile on his face.
After all that, it's not a problem in terms of the rules, but it's still tough to be told that you are traditionally a loser.
Losing is...
The guy who wins in order is losing, and the guy who is winning in order is losing. The favourites, Kizan and the beastman Gaillaroo, have been eliminated by the dark horse. The remaining favourites will face the unbeaten favourites. No, I would have fought you if you could.
It looks like this tournament is going to be very rough, with only one candidate left out of the three candidates for the championship.
Carter beat the beastman, and I, one of the causes of the trolling, beat the demon.
I'm curious about the fact that only one of them is going to win in order.
And when the supervisor has this evil smile on his face, it's usually a bad time.
Who is this?
"You've read the material Suela prepared for you, haven't you? Lando Basarte, one of the top five battle crazies in the Demon King's army,
A bad premonition is often true.
The name of the dragon man I was hoping to avoid meeting has come out.
The dragonborn whose black scales are covered with scars and who is rumored to be a general when it comes to fighting.
The reason he can't become a general is because he specializes too much in fighting. The bottom line is that he doesn't have enough brains. A general is one who unifies. no matter how meritocratic we are...we would never install a man who is only capable of rioting. But, on the other hand, if he has brains enough he could be the general. He's not just being picked as the favorite to win. Kizan was the closest to the general because he was both literate and skilled. When it comes to strength, Lando is the better man.
The supervisor's assessment is harshly worded, but seems to acknowledge his fighting ability.
And the fact that he would bother to say such a thing.
Are you finished with ...... discharge procedures?
Oh, it's all over. They were right, you've made a name for yourself not only with your people, but with the demon tribe as well. Then do your best to keep your name from being tarnished.
It's just to show the fight.
The guys the overseer talked about were probably the instructors.
I just joined the demon king's army and it was impossible for me to become a general.
Rank, fame, and power...none of it was enough.
But this time the instructors had prepared a platform for me to gain fame for overthrowing a general candidate.
The instructors told me to be good enough to kill each other, and this is my chance to climb up.
When I finally understood the meaning of this recommendation, I naturally said.
"You're so merciless, what are you going to do when you die?
By then, they will be laughing at you.
"Oh, I hate myself for being able to imagine it so easily.
The instructors are too kind to even use the word "Sparta," but you can't help but laugh at their whips.
While laughing at the instructors' reason for participating in this tournament, you sit in the wheelchair provided by the supervisors, and the devil appears before you know it and takes control of the wheel.
Then I'll go so that I don't waste my chance.
"Oh.
You leave the infirmary, usually to be seen by the supervisor who leaves first.
I proceed slowly.
I move forward, but my progress is slowed to a halt.
You are.
I've been waiting for you.
The big demon, Kizan, who had changed from his street clothes to a kimono, was standing there with his back against the wall.
The demon pushing the wheelchair is about to say something, but I restrain him with my hand.
"What do you want? You're wounded and unarmed, as you can see. Would you like your revenge to come after you've healed?
"I will not shamelessly challenge you to battle now. I only want to ask you one thing.
What you want to hear?
I didn't feel the atmosphere of conflict, such as murder, malice, or fighting spirit, so I took a relaxed stance, but the demon in front of me said he had something to ask me as a human.
You said I wasn't good enough to be a general. You said I wasn't good enough for the general's job... and that I lacked the essence of the species.
"Oh, you said that,
I remember saying exactly what I felt, in the heat of battle.
The demon had waited all the way to ask me his true intentions.
I thought he was diligent for an ogre, or rather a man who cared about details.
Any other demon would have forgotten what I said and would be drinking with his frustration at losing.
But the man in front of me didn't do that, and demanded an answer.
"Answer me, what am I missing?
Are you so disappointed that you lost, or are you disappointed that you didn't become a general?
I'm not sure if it's because of the fact that I'm not a general or because I didn't become a general.
You're right. ......
I don't have much to say to a demon that has lost its way.
Have fun.
"Enjoy?
Yeah, the demons I knew seemed to enjoy living. Drinking and fighting, they seemed to enjoy it the most when it came to those two things.
On the other hand, the serious work seemed to be done with reluctance, and the words are connected.
Kizan furrows his brow at those words and says with a look on his face that he doesn't understand.
There may be pride and ideology, but he is always reasonably relaxed, and when he gives it his all, he gives it his all, just like a child's energy to an adult.
That's what I think of as an ogre.
You seem to be in a higher position, why don't you relax a little? I can't tell you to be a natural like the instructors, but you'll get tired if you keep tensing up.
I don't see that in this demon.
I think it's admirable for the demon to embody such a word, but to me it looks like he's being forced into a mold and feeling trapped.
The ...... demon is all about strength.
"Yeah, I know.
If I had, I would have kept working out and gotten to where I am now.
I don't know what you're trying to do, but it's paying off.
"Yet, I am defeated by you.
Yes.
The demon spun the words as if to check himself, as if to look at himself.
"Was I living in the wrong way?
I can neither confirm nor deny that statement.
There is no right or wrong way to live.
I believe there is no right or wrong way to live.
I don't think this is the kind of thing to ask of someone who stood in the way of the outcome of what I believed in and pushed forward, but I also felt it was wrong to be silent.
I don't know.
I just said the honest words.
You asked me what I was missing and I just said what I felt. I don't think that's right.
You ask the demon to let go of the steering wheel and, using your moving arms, wheel forward.
If you get close enough, you'll be able to tap the huge body that you look up at.
To begin with, life is meant to be lived with mistakes. It's impossible for everything to be right. Even the so-called king instructor was beaten by the president. It's not right to think that one loss to a human is a wrong way of life.
I happened to win this time, but I can't say for sure that I'll win the next round.
You'll get another one. You've got a next one. Next time I want to win without getting shredded like this.
Next time, you want a rematch with me.
"I don't want to do it right away, but I want to grow up and fight when I'm old enough to beat the crap out of you.
Well, then, I'll do my best. I'll do my best to beat you next time.
If I'm not mistaken, Kizan smiled with a smile on his face and turned to leave.
"I've heard that the basic flow of demons is to have a party after a fight.
I was just telling an old story that Instructor Kio told me the other day.
At my words, Kizan stops and just turns his head.
With that face.
We'll have a drink when we're ready.
I showed her a gesture that seemed to stir up her drinking cup, and then she smiled clearly.
"Oh.
He replied firmly and this time Kizan walked away.
A few exchanges, a chance encounter with a clumsy demon.
Feeling slightly tired and satisfied with that, I asked the demon to return to the room where everyone was waiting.
Word of the Day
Somehow, I had a feeling we'd be friends for a long time.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

"Hahahahaha, that's humiliating.

But, on the other hand, if he has brains enough he could be the general. He's not just being picked as the favorite to win. Kizan was the closest to the general because he was both literate and skilled. When it comes to strength, Lando is the better man.The supervisor's assessment is harshly worded, but seems to acknowledge his fighting ability.And the fact that he would bother to say such a thing.Are you finished with ...... discharge procedures?Oh, it's all over. They were right, you've made a name for yourself not only with your people, but with the demon tribe as well. Then do your best to keep your name from being tarnished.It's just to show the fight.The guys the overseer talked about were probably the instructors.I just joined the demon king's army and it was impossible for me to become a general.Rank, fame, and power...none of it was enough.But this time the instructors had prepared a platform for me to gain fame for overthrowing a general candidate.The instructors told me to be good enough to kill each other, and this is my chance to climb up.When I finally understood the meaning of this recommendation, I naturally said."You're so merciless, what are you going to do when you die?By then, they will be laughing at you."Oh, I hate myself for being able to imagine it so easily.The instructors are too kind to even use the word "Sparta," but you can't help but laugh at their whips.While laughing at the instructors' reason for participating in this tournament, you sit in the wheelchair provided by the supervisors, and the devil appears before you know it and takes control of the wheel.Then I'll go so that I don't waste my chance."Oh.You leave the infirmary, usually to be seen by the supervisor who leaves first.I proceed slowly.I move forward, but my progress is slowed to a halt.You are.I've been waiting for you.The big demon, Kizan, who had changed from his street clothes to a kimono, was standing there with his back against the wall.The demon pushing the wheelchair is about to say something, but I restrain him with my hand."What do you want? You're wounded and unarmed, as you can see. Would you like your revenge to come after you've healed?"I will not shamelessly challenge you to battle now. I only want to ask you one thing.What you want to hear?I didn't feel the atmosphere of conflict, such as murder, malice, or fighting spirit, so I took a relaxed stance, but the demon in front of me said he had something to ask me as a human.You said I wasn't good enough to be a general. You said I wasn't good enough for the general's job... and that I lacked the essence of the species."Oh, you said that,I remember saying exactly what I felt, in the heat of battle.The demon had waited all the way to ask me his true intentions.I thought he was diligent for an ogre, or rather a man who cared about details.Any other demon would have forgotten what I said and would be drinking with his frustration at losing.But the man in front of me didn't do that, and demanded an answer."Answer me, what am I missing?Are you so disappointed that you lost, or are you disappointed that you didn't become a general?I'm not sure if it's because of the fact that I'm not a general or because I didn't become a general.You're right. ......I don't have much to say to a demon that has lost its way.Have fun."Enjoy?Yeah, the demons I knew seemed to enjoy living. Drinking and fighting, they seemed to enjoy it the most when it came to those two things.On the other hand, the serious work seemed to be done with reluctance, and the words are connected.Kizan furrows his brow at those words and says with a look on his face that he doesn't understand.There may be pride and ideology, but he is always reasonably relaxed, and when he gives it his all, he gives it his all, just like a child's energy to an adult.That's what I think of as an ogre.You seem to be in a higher position, why don't you relax a little?I can't tell you to be a natural like the instructors, but you'll get tired if you keep tensing up.I don't see that in this demon.I think it's admirable for the demon to embody such a word, but to me it looks like he's being forced into a mold and feeling trapped.The ...... demon is all about strength."Yeah, I know.If I had, I would have kept working out and gotten to where I am now.I don't know what you're trying to do, but it's paying off."Yet, I am defeated by you.Yes.The demon spun the words as if to check himself, as if to look at himself."Was I living in the wrong way?I can neither confirm nor deny that statement.There is no right or wrong way to live.I believe there is no right or wrong way to live.I don't think this is the kind of thing to ask of someone who stood in the way of the outcome of what I believed in and pushed forward, but I also felt it was wrong to be silent.I don't know.I just said the honest words.You asked me what I was missing and I just said what I felt. I don't think that's right.You ask the demon to let go of the steering wheel and, using your moving arms, wheel forward.If you get close enough, you'll be able to tap the huge body that you look up at.To begin with, life is meant to be lived with mistakes. It's impossible for everything to be right. Even the so-called king instructor was beaten by the president. It's not right to think that one loss to a human is a wrong way of life.I happened to win this time, but I can't say for sure that I'll win the next round.You'll get another one. You've got a next one. Next time I want to win without getting shredded like this.Next time, you want a rematch with me."I don't want to do it right away, but I want to grow up and fight when I'm old enough to beat the crap out of you.Well, then, I'll do my best. I'll do my best to beat you next time.If I'm not mistaken, Kizan smiled with a smile on his face and turned to leave."I've heard that the basic flow of demons is to have a party after a fight.I was just telling an old story that Instructor Kio told me the other day.At my words, Kizan stops and just turns his head.With that face.We'll have a drink when we're ready.I showed her a gesture that seemed to stir up her drinking cup, and then she smiled clearly."Oh.He replied firmly and this time Kizan walked away.A few exchanges, a chance encounter with a clumsy demon.Feeling slightly tired and satisfied with that, I asked the demon to return to the room where everyone was waiting.Word of the DaySomehow, I had a feeling we'd be friends for a long time.
