Superhuman Delusional – Are You Able to Live a Daily Life？ 497

Chapter 497 – 497 The Main Tournament!

◈

My match in the quarterfinals came surprisingly quickly.

【The second match of the quarterfinals is here! The second match is between! A powerful warrior who came all the way from the desert to this Camel! A skilled fighter who was the runner-up in the last martial arts tournament! The fighter, Jackal!

And the dark horse and center of attention of this tournament! Will we see his ceremony again this time! The mysterious golden warrior, Roger!】

Jackal.

This is another fighter I haven’t seen in the waiting room.

When I think of a desert warrior, I vaguely imagine someone wearing a hood or a mask, and using a dagger like Noah.

To be precise, Jason gives off that exact vibe.

I wonder what kind of fighter he is.

“Kyaaaa! It’s a human octopus!”

“No, it’s a human squid!”

“A gorilla walking in the skyyyy!”

“Muscles! Show us more muscles!”

As I appeared in the arena, the crowd roared with enthusiasm.

They’re giving me some pretty weird nicknames, but this feeling…

It’s not bad!

And I faced off against the fighter named Jackal.

As expected from someone from a desert country, he was a silver-haired man with brown skin similar to Lyfa.

But contrary to my expectations, he was clearly a martial artist type, not someone who uses daggers.

Jackal took a pose similar to Muay Thai and said to me,

“I know you’re good at physical enhancement magic. But my fists will break even your enhancements. I’ll show you my tribe’s fist and leg techniques.”

Fist and leg techniques.

So, it’s martial arts after all.

This match is the quarterfinals.

Which means it’s my last match today.

So, instead of ending it quickly, I might as well enjoy the match a bit.

My opponent is a martial artist who uses fist and leg techniques.

In comparison, I mostly just use my physical strength to defeat opponents, so I don’t have any particular martial arts style.

But I do know the movements of a martial art very well.

I took the stance of the martial art I know best.

Jackal’s eyes narrowed.

“That stance…”

It seems Jackal knows what stance I’m taking.

【Unbelievable! As Jackal takes his stance, Roger has also taken a stance! But that stance is…!】

【It’s the stance passed down by the Third Knight Order.】

【Could it be that Roger’s true identity is a knight from the Third Knight Order?!】

The stance I took is Lyfa’s stance.

Of course, it would be the same as the Third Knight Order’s stance.

【But just because the stance is the same doesn’t mean the martial art will be the same. Let’s see what kind of martial art Roger will show us.】

【Then! The match… Begin!】

“Hup!”

Thwack!

As soon as the match started, Jackal rushed towards me.

As expected of the runner-up from the last tournament, his speed was faster than Sink, who I fought in the round of 16.

Jackal immediately came right in front of me and started attacking fiercely, swinging his fists and legs.

Normally, I would have barely dodged or evaded, but this time my concept is Lyfa’s martial arts concept!

I recalled the movements I made when I sparred with Lyfa and blocked or dodged, mimicking Lyfa’s movements.

【Oooo! Jackal! Just like in the last tournament, he’s attacking fiercely! But those attacks still haven’t landed a hit on Roger!】

【Amazing. Roger’s movements are completely identical to the Third Knight Order’s movements. Moreover, it’s not something he just picked up, but like a veteran who has been learning for decades.】

Of course, it would look like that since I’m copying Lyfa’s movements, which she’s been doing for decades.

As I continued to receive, dodge, and deflect attacks, there was a slight opening in Jackal’s movements.

I seized that opening and launched a counterattack.

Pow pow pow pow!

I followed the combo of punches and kicks that Lyfa usually throws at me and landed them on Jackal.

“Kuh-uck!”

Jackal was hit several times by my attacks and retreated, creating distance.

If I had put even a little of my real power into it, he would have passed out quickly, but I wanted to enjoy the fight, so I attacked with about the same power as Lyfa’s punches, so Jackal didn’t lose consciousness.

【Roger, who was receiving Jackal’s fierce attacks! But he quickly landed several effective hits on Jackal!】

【Fierce and valiant punches and kicks, like a tiger’s claws. It’s like watching Sir Gwyn fight.】

【Then, is Roger’s identity a knight from the Third Knight Order, Mr. Raou?】

【That, we cannot know. But I haven’t heard of such an outstanding knight in the Third Knight Order.】

【The golden warrior Roger, shrouded in even more mystery! Now, how will Jackal respond!】

“Haaaaaaah!”

Jackal, who had retreated, now surrounded his fists and legs with magic power and charged at me.

It was an attack that was several times faster and more powerful than when he first charged.

I dodged and blocked Jackal’s attacks, and this time I added attacks in between.

Whack!

Thwack!

“Kuh!”

Jackal couldn’t land a proper attack on me and was accumulating damage from the punches and kicks I was throwing in between.

“Tch!”

Jackal retreated once again and looked at me.

The look in his eyes had changed from the look of someone who saw an opponent he could defeat to the look of someone facing a powerful enemy.

“Hoo… It seems like it’s not the time to hold back my trump card.”

At that moment, magic power circulated fiercely in Jackal’s body, and he shouted loudly.

“Berserk!”

The veins in Jackal’s brown body bulged out, and his skin turned bright red.

“Kuaaaaaaaah!!!”

【Unbelievable! Jackal’s skin has suddenly turned bright red!】

【That’s a berserk magic that grants immense power as a berserker in exchange for losing one’s reason. The longer it’s used, the more strain it puts on the user’s body, but it has a very strong effect.】

【I see! Jackal is using berserk magic! How will Roger respond to this!】

Hearing the commentator’s voice, I thought I should end this match quickly.

He’s using magic that puts a strain on the user, and I don’t think it’s right to put too much strain on Jackal’s body for my own amusement.

So… let’s end it with a flashy single blow.

“Kooohhhhh!!!”

Jackal had completely lost his reason, but his body still remembered the movements that suited him best, and he approached me with the stance of his fist and leg techniques unchanged.

Towards Jackal, I gathered magic power in my right fist and…

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

Turned it into fiercely burning flames.

【Mr. Raou, what is that!?】

【That technique is!?】

One of Lyfa’s ultimate techniques.

Recently, I’ve often used it against monsters, so it feels more like a regular technique than an ultimate technique.

The name of the fist that unleashes fiercely burning flames is…

“Crimson Lotus Fist!”

Pwooooooosh!

“Kuh-uh-uh-uck!!”

Jackal, who was hit squarely in the abdomen by my Crimson Lotus Fist, flew straight through the air with the flames and crashed into the wall of the arena.

Thud!

“Kuh… uh…”

Thump!

He fell to the ground, leaving a slightly scorched mark on his abdomen, and lost consciousness.

【Crimson Lotus Fist!!!! It’s the Crimson Lotus Fist, everyone! The signature technique of Sir Gwyn, a knight of the Round Table of Camel! How did this happen, Mr. Raou!】

【To think he would reproduce the Crimson Lotus Fist… I’m very surprised right now. The Crimson Lotus Fist is a secret technique passed down only in the Tizanga family, but to use that technique…】

【Could it be that Roger’s true identity is someone from the Tizanga family!?】

【We cannot know for sure. But we can infer that Roger has a deep connection with the Tizanga family.】

I’m her son-in-law.

Alright, now it’s time for the ceremony.

I watched as the medical team approached Jackal, then I crossed my arms and lay down on the ground.

【Huh?! Roger has suddenly laid down on the ground! Could it be that he sustained an injury we didn’t notice during the match with Jackal!】

【Or maybe he’s going to show us another ceremony that we didn’t expect.】

In the round of 16, I showed a rotation using wind.

So, this time, let’s make fire the main focus!

I opened my mouth wide and released magic power with great force.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

I turned the magic power coming out of my mouth into flames.

【Unbelievableeeeeee!? Roger is breathing fire from his mouth!】

It’s not just breathing fire.

This time, I greatly increased the output of the flames and added propulsion.

Just as my body was about to move with that propulsion.

I stuck the index finger of my right hand into the ground and stretched out, supporting my body with my right arm.

And as I increased the intensity of the magic power coming out of my mouth even more.

Whirr whirr whirr whirr!

I rotated fiercely horizontally, not vertically.

“He breathed fire from his mouth!!”

“He’s not human!”

“A muscle-bound golden bucket that breathes fireeee!!!”

I increased the firepower even more to increase the rotation, then I tilted my neck slightly towards the ground.

Then, with the speed I had gained, the direction of propulsion changed, and I rotated and rose into the air.

Of course, I used a little telekinesis to maintain my balance when the direction was about to change.

【Uwaaaaaa! Roger! Not only is he breathing fire, but he’s also rotating and flying into the air again!】

【Is he even human?】

I reached the same height as in the round of 16, straightened my posture, and stopped breathing fire.

And this time, I turned my wrists outward, making my arms look like they were making a bicep.

【It’s a pose! He’s taking a pose again!】

【It was really flashy this time too. …So much so that I doubt he’s human.】

But this time, it’s not just about taking a pose and ending it.

I lifted my head up and breathed fire again.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

My body, propelled by the flames, landed on the ground at high speed.

Thwack!

I landed, kicking up dust, and turned off the flames and waved to the audience.

“Waaaaaaaah!!!”

The enthusiastic cheers of the crowd erupted again.

“I can’t understand it! It’s amazing! I’m going crazyyyyyy!!!”

“How! How can he do that! What kind of magic is that!”

“He’s a dragon! He’s definitely a dragon in disguise!”

“Your muscles are so coooool!!!”

【Roger! He took advantage of our carelessness and finished the ceremony with a flashy landing!】

【Who would have thought he would breathe fire and land like that.】

I waved to the audience again and walked towards the waiting room.

My match is over for today.

So, wouldn’t it be nice to go back and watch the remaining matches with my lovers?

I approached the staff member who was guarding the entrance to the waiting room.

“Excuse me.”

“Hup!? Y-yes! W-what is it, Roger!”

“My match is already over, so can I go now?”

“Huh?! Ah, yes! Y-you can!”

Alright, let’s go to the bathroom, transform into my child form, and go to my lovers.

As I thought that and turned around.

“W-wait a moment!”

The staff member called out to me, so I stopped and turned back to him.

“What is it?”

“I-I almost forgot to give you this!”

The staff member handed me a golden plaque.

“T-this is your semi-finalist plaque! It’s given to the fighters who have advanced to the semi-finals, so you don’t have to return it tomorrow!”

Oh, so this is like a participation prize for making it to the semi-finals.

I took the golden plaque and put it in my inventory.

And then I headed back to the bathroom.

◈

I went to the bathroom, transformed into my child form, and came out. I walked towards the location of my lovers’ seats that I had seen when I was rotating in the air.

“Ah! Honey!”

As I got closer to my lovers, Lyfa was the first to see me.

“I came because my match is over.”

“Okay! Hahaha! Welcome back!”

Lyfa smiled happily and put my child form on her lap and hugged me tightly.

“What is it~ You completely copied my movements~ You even used my techniques~. Did you stare at me so intently that you could copy me perfectly?”

Lyfa was happy that I used her techniques.

“Of course, I can’t help but stare at the person I love.”

“Honey~♡”

Lyfa hugged me even tighter.

Lyfa’s chest cushion is so soft and nice…

“Kukuk, pfft! Rent, good job!”

“Welcome back, Rent.”

“You looked so cool fighting♡”

“Your muscles were cool too♡”

“Good work, my dear.”

Noah, Elsie, Ninya, Tina, and Gracia also welcomed me.

“Kukuk, you… even if you’re doing a performance, you should hold back a little. What was that?”

However, Tikia was slightly critical of my ceremony.

“Wasn’t it cool? The reaction was good.”

“It was fun and funny.”

Then that’s a relief.
