Antum chose to attack with everything he had by activating his <Limit Break>, but even that wasn't enough to get past his opponent's impenetrable defense.

He couldn't help but admire Davi for his strength and concentration. The various cuts spread across his body might not be serious, but they were annoying, yet he didn't hesitate for a moment.

That's why I hate fighting determined people... Antum lamented as he was forced to retreat.

To make matters worse, Davi started firing flames in his direction. The boy managed to block the first blows with ease, but soon noticed that he was about to be burned by that attack.

Do you know what a burn feels like?

A lot, a lot! Even though he could easily be cured later by the medical team, that would be a great inconvenience.

So he reacted instinctively by using all his power in a final <Gust of Wind>.

The blow ended up getting out of control, destroying many things around. Some people in the stands were even injured.

But specifically those who were in the seats furthest from the arena where a magic shield had not yet been installed.

Anyway, Antum, who then had more mana, was tired and saw that Davi clearly could still take a lot more fighting.

Therefore, it was useless to keep trying. And with a soft sigh, he gave up. He just had to try again next year when the opponents were easier.

Besides, even without reaching Rank S, being Rank A was already much better than what his mother achieved in her entire career. She retired as Rank B at her peak.

He would be able to live a comfortable life, why strive for more than that?

"Congratulations, you're amazing," Antum said without much interest and left the arena behind, shocking everyone.

After showing so much power in that blow, it was normal to expect a great reaction, but he just gave up.

The anticlimactic result left many dissatisfied.

In particular, a certain man who secretly went to watch that game was disgusted with the idea that his son would reach the final of the tournament. Even more so by borrowing power from other people.

But unaware of all this, Davi briefly celebrated his victory.

Soon the nurses from the medical team approached because of his injuries and the boy was somewhat forced to go to the hospital.

After curing his cuts, the doctor told him to rest for the rest of the day.

Therefore, he ended up forced to lie in a hospital bed, bored while reading a not very interesting book.

"Okay, I thought you'd be more excited about the victory," Sophia opened the door and entered the room ceremoniously.

She had offered to work as part of the medical team in the tournament, because it was a good way to train her skills. But with fewer fights happening, she also didn't have much to do.

"I just cured the loser of the other semifinal, you know," she commented with a difficult-to-understand smile.

Hearing that, Davi became more interested in the conversation and rested his book on a small table next to the bed.

Turning his eyes to the beautiful blonde in front of him, he asked:

"Do you know anything useful? Since they dragged me here, I didn't have a chance to see the fight," he commented with an irritated tone.

"Yes, your opponent has earth abilities, or something like that." Sophia commented without much interest.

The semifinal match was balanced, but Monica ended up losing to Alan thanks to his defense and resistance.

Besides being very good at defending himself, Alan didn't have such striking characteristics.

His blows, although slow, were powerful, so he was not an opponent to be completely discarded.

Still, Antum and even Drako were probably stronger than him.

"Honestly, he's not very impressive," Sophia concluded, finishing her analysis of the opponent.

"Just don't be careless and avoid being hit squarely by one of his punches and you'll win." The blonde commented.

"Probably the audience will be disappointed with the final," before Davi could answer anything, a voice interrupted the conversation.

It was Amelia who suddenly appeared sitting on the small sofa in the room. In her hands, she had the book Davi was reading.

But after staring at him for a few moments, she frowned slightly and made the object disappear.

"How boring, I thought I'd be reading something more fun." She appeared next to Sophia.

The two young people stared at her in surprise, exactly as she wanted.

"I'm back, hehe!" The woman said with a slight smile. "The extermination of the problematic monsters was successfully completed."

Playfully, she made a 'v' with her fingers, but soon her expression turned into a more serious smile.

"I talked to Inanna, I imagine you'll have at least a year and a half to train you."

A shiver ran through the boy's body just thinking about being trained by that monster.

"Another thing," Amelia commented, abruptly changing the subject. "Can you do me a favor?" She asked with an innocent look.

"What?" Davi asked, looking at her suspiciously.

"Don't end the fight too quickly in the final, otherwise the audience will be very disappointed."

"Why should I do that?" He grumbled.

"Actually," Sophia interjected. "Don't you think it's better to stop showing all your powers like that? If people know you have so many abilities, it will attract a lot of attention."

"I know, I know...." He sighed. That's precisely why he had avoided using Sophia's healing powers until that point.

"Okay, I'll do it," he agreed with a sigh. "But isn't it time to pay your promise?" He turned to Amelia. "After all, I'll become Rank S after the fight."

The girl pondered for a moment, then appeared next to the boy, approaching to kiss him. But at the last second, she kissed his cheek.

"Don't be so hasty, perverted boy," she smiled sensually and moved away.

"Anyway, I have matters to deal with, give a good show in the final and, as promised, I will be yours."

After saying that, Amelia disappeared, leaving Davi behind with a noticeable erection.

But he didn't need to worry, because Sophia immediately volunteered to deal with that problem.
