[Always Victorious-SSS]

Ability granted to children loved and favored by a world. Receiving the support of the world for a time, the person can overcome many difficulties and turn a situation in his favor.

-         All skills 2 Ranks up (Except Innate)

-         Increase 2 Limits (Can break the barrier between soul levels temporarily)

-         Constant Energy Support of the World

-         Slight restoration of wounds, physical and mental resistance.

-         It only activates in desperate situations.

…What is a broken skill? That was a totally broken skill! Seeing that Kenichi suddenly gained this ability when he was about to lose the fight with that boy, I couldn't help but feel a little envious!!

That felt quite unfair… and that taking into account that I was not the person who had to fight him! The difference in treatment of the world towards some people was simply very impartial!!

[… You can also consider yourself a very lucky person with good skills, you know Alexander?]

Well... certainly I also have some abilities that together gave me almost the same benefits as this one, but... if I compare [Survivor] with [Always Victorious] for example, there was a big difference! At the cost of just increasing my strength by a limit, I have to be seriously injured first! Instead, Kenichi just had to be in a bad situation!!

…Those conditions for abilities to activate can't even be compared, right? Haaa ~ I really could only sigh and feel jealous about this.

Thanks to this sudden change in Kenichi, the fight in the ring takes a turn in his favor… obviously. With such an increase in strength and abilities, it would be strange if it weren't that way! Now Kenichi had entered the second soul level… although it was probably temporary, his strength was very real!

"...t-that boy is fighting better now."

"Y-Yeah... it even seems like his skills have gotten better than the ones that his oponent showed."

Unlike when I entered the same realm, there was no noticeable physical manifestation... instead of his body attracting the energy from the surroundings, it was more like it was injecting itself into his body! Therefore, it was difficult to distinguish this sudden change… probably others just think that he was struggling more seriously.

…Now Kenichi's opponent had turned into a punching bag. In addition, the sudden change of situation between them ended up affecting him mentally as well and you could see the despair and reluctance on that boy's face. He should be being oppressed by the level 2 aura that was inevitably emanating from Kenichi passively.

"It's over... it seems that Kenichi won"

"" Y-Yes... ""

As much as that boy tried to change things again, he ended in failure. It was only a matter of time for Kenichi to win… and since it was quite unexpected that things would change like this, all this generates quite a surprise in the others who do not know how to react because of all this. In the end, they can only rejoice because he was their friend and partner.

"The winner of this fight is Kenichi! It was certainly a surprising reaction to reverse the situation when things were bad for him~!! "

Without much surprise, Kenichi ends up knocking his opponent unconscious after performing a splendid combo of various movements from the disciplines he practiced.

…I didn't know how to feel about this. I was glad that he won, really. Although he can be a bit annoying at times, I must admit that the boy tries a lot and has a personality that you cannot hate. The problem was that the final match of this tournament will very possibly be against him, and now... perhaps this would not be so simple as I thought.

"" Congratulations, Kenichi! ""

"... really, it wasn't so bad for someone weak"

"Those of the Ryozanpaku will surely be proud, Hamtaro-san."

"E-Eh? I-I win?

…d-did I really win? "

"" ... ""

When he comes out of the ring, he was quite distracted and it also appears that the effect of the [Always Victorious] ability has ended. After the others gave him some words to congratulate him on winning his fight, the most curious thing was that he did not remember very well how he won... he was not being modest, from what he says, it was more as if his body moved by itself at that moment.

...maybe he was not used to that ability, or maybe it was that "The support of the world" took a little control of his body to help him win against opponents stronger than him.

“S-Senpai… do you have any of those pills that you can give me? I feel quite tired "

"...sorry, I ran out from those"

Either way, it seems that ability also put a lot of strain on Kenichi's body. At least that calmed me down a bit… he probably can't use it very often! Thank goodness that ability still can't totally ignore certain things and be even more unbalanced!!

"I-I see, but… w-why are you smiling, Alexander-senpai?"

"It's nothing, don't worry~"

"..."

Of course I still had pills to heal wounds and restore energy and stamina a bit! It never hurts to have a few more in hand!! It's something I've learned the hard way...

But, for now, I wasn't going to give some of these to Kenichi! I didn't want to make things more difficult for me in the future!! The more tired he is, the better for me!!

“The next fight is between Alexander and Garyu X~!! Please both of you go on stage "

"Hohoho... it seems like it's my turn~"

"..."

…My joy at seeing Kenichi's fatigue could only have been momentary! A wall of muscle walks by my side and heads for the ring! I really didn't want to go up with him... but I make an effort to take one step and then another continuously to follow the old man.

We soon reached the scene of our fight and we both watched each other for a while until the commentator decides to announce the start of the fight.

"So, you can both start-"

"Wait!"

"...what's up boy?"

“…Obviously this guy shouldn't be able to participate in the disciple tournament! He should be disqualified!! "

…In the end, I couldn't help but intervene before the commentator indicated the start of the fight! Seeing the old man rub his hands and snap his fingers as he watched me, my body couldn't help but shake a bit having a bad feeling about all this!!

"Hahaha... no, contestant Garyu X has passed all the tests so far and so the claim does not proceed~!!"

"Curse! Where is the justice and partiality in all this?!! "

"Hahaha ... that doesn't exist, boy~"

"..."

F-Fuck… I already knew it, but being told while the person smiles was something quite annoying! Now I wanted to hit that guy with the mask and remove that smile that seemed to be stuck on his face!!

"That is not true…"

"Oh~ Old man,I knew you have a bit of reason inside that head of yours"

"Justice is me~!"

"..."

…Damn it, I was a fool to have at least a little hope! You have to be quite cheeky to break the rules of something and say that it does not matter because you are the personification of justice!

…Now I didn't know which of the two guys was more annoying!!

“Hohoho… don't worry kid. Only a friend asked me to teach you a little lesson... if you can hit me, then ... you win~.

What do you think about that?"

"…fine"

I was hoping that the old man just wanted to fight a bit and, after exchanging a few blows ... or I getting hit a bit, then he would retreat. But hey... although this was not what I expected, it may not be so bad.

Gritting my teeth, I accept his conditions ... or rather, I had no other alternative!

"Kuaah!!"

"" A-Alexander-kun / Alexander !! ""

… As soon as my words leave my mouth, the image of the old man in front of me seems to flicker and the next thing I knew was that I was rolling on the ground several meters until I stopped at the edge of the ring!

F-Fuck! S-Since my fight with Ma Sogetsu this hasn't happened to me! I-I didn't expect the difference in strength between me and the old man to be that much! After all, that time Ma Sogetsu had almost a completely higher soul level than me!! 

The old man was supposed to be only 4 limits higher than me… and if we count the increase in some of my abilities, then it should still be less! The truth was that I was quite confident in at least giving the old man a hit, but now… he had just shown me that my assumptions weren't entirely correct!

[Well... with the skills and experience that that old man has, he would probably have no problem fighting someone from the Gaia Area where you were with a level 2 soul at the 7th or 8th limit... maybe even someone at the peak of the second soul level would not be able to kill him easily.]

"..."

H-Hahaha… it's true, even though maybe he wasn't at Kenichi's level, this old man also had the favor of the world! Now I wonder if I can hit him at least one time… well, I have no other choice than try! Even though it was not pleasant to have to fight him, at least I know that my life would not be in danger... or I was praying it would be like this!

"Hohoho... interesting"

"... I'm not going to hold back anything, old man!"

As I said, this was not the time to hide things! Even if I could utilize them, I wouldn't hesitate to use the BIMs and other weapons I have against this old man! As I get back on my feet, I activate all my abilities and also use my domain by concentrating fully on him!

…The latter does not seem to affect him much since he is countered with his own aura when he releases it, but at least it will help me to follow his movements in a better way!

The old man disappears from the place where he is, but this time before a kick hits me, I manage to go back in time to avoid it!! T-That was close… I even felt the air caused by this moving my hair!!

“…y-you really just want to hit me, right ?! This time that kick was going straight to my face damn old man!! "

"Hohoho... I don't know what you're talking about, I don't know you ~"

"Fuck you geezer!!"

…Our fight was a bit similar to the time in the preliminaries that I fought against the person in the suit, only this time it wasn't because I was following a plan! I was simply forced to run around the ring avoiding the old man's blows because I had no other alternative!

Several minutes passed like that... and unfortunately, I couldn't avoid all his blows! On several occasions my conscience clouded a bit or I was cornered on the edge of the ring... I wanted to believe that I had managed to resist all this time, but the truth was that I felt that instead it was rather that the old man was playing with me!

… Although not everything was so bad. Probably because it had only been a very short time so far in the second soul level, I still hadn't fully gotten used to the change and improvements that had occurred in my abilities and body. The more I fought against the old man, I felt that I was getting more used to following his movements!

If I think about it, after my soul level went up, I hadn't had a chance to fight someone of the same level properly. The bald guy was barely also someone with a level two soul, and with the Kokuri guy I encountered in the sewers, I used Sai to take him by surprise.

...well, I had no alternative since surely the latter would not have restrained himself if I seriously fought against him and he could have split me in half with his big knife! While I was relying on the chainmail Shigure gave me, I still didn't want to check its effectiveness against a sword!

Well, now at least I no longer felt like the old man was suddenly disappearing and appearing next to me to hit me! I could follow him with my eyes making it easier for me to evade or even counterattack him! Sadly, that didn't mean my blows were effective… they ended up being blocked by him quite easily!

I was even risking a counterattack even more because of that… so it was better to continue running all over the place for now. Or at least until I hope that I continue to get more used to his movements!
