Fumu. Mother. Is she going to lay the groundwork so it’s easy to come out with Ray? I need to stop this. I can’t trust the expression on her face.

“Let’s begin the second match. Appearing on the stage is Madra Shenson from the Einas sword school!”

A man steps onto the stage. His whole body is covered in scars and he looks like a beast.

“…….That person. Isn’t that Madra of the gale? He’s Deiruhido’s fastest swordsman………Wasn’t he the runner up in the last tournament………?”

“Aah…..He’s changed a lot.”

“He said he’d do anything to avenge his loss to Kurt. It seems that he went to the underground labyrinth of Goranuhelia.”

“The labyrinth of Goranuhelia!? It’s said that even getting past the first floor is difficult.”

“Aah. Rumour has it that he spent 200 years in there and reached the 250th floor.”

“…..That…….that’s not sane……..”

“This is what happens when someone drives themselves insane and seek only strength. In this area, he has surpassed Kurt.”

Hou. The underground labyrinth of Goranuhelia? How nostalgic. I remember wondering how deep it was and headed for the bottom floor. Turns out it has 2500 floors.

The owl’s voice rings out again.

“Next up is a member of the Lognoss demon sword association, Ray Grandori!!”

Ray was a member of the Lognoss demon sword association?

“Ray Grandori…….the demonic sword saint huh?”

“Aah, one of the chaos generation.”

“It’s a good matchup for the second round but Madra will win.”

“If Ray had even 50 years more experience it would be a hard match to call but as it stands their experience is too different.”

“Was the demonic sword saint a member of the Lognoss demon sword association though?

Ray steps into the arena.

The demon sword he’s using is Initeio. That’s the sword he lent Misa. It can cut through magic formations.

“Second match of the first round, begin!!”

The signal sounds out and Madra and Ray walk towards each other.

The moment they entered sword range they stopped.

“Withdraw.” Madra says in a serious voice

“I’m good.”

As usual, Ray had a refreshing smile on his face.

“I’m not threatening you. You may have heard of the demonic wind sword Refresia. Once drawn it becomes a gale. I will wait three seconds for you to withdraw. If you don’t, you will die.”

Madra scowls at Ray.

“Three.”

Ray doesn’t move.

“Two.”

Ray still doesn’t move.

“One.”

Madra puts his hand on the hilt of his sword.

“Die.”

The demon sword was drawn in a lighting quick action and flashed towards Ray’s neck.

“Wha…………”

Madra is surprised.

Instead of cutting Ray’s neck his sword was broken instead.

Bits of sword sprinkled against Ray’s neck but the rest was gone.

“……When…….I drew my sword……?”

Ray’s sword is still in its sheath.

“After you drew it.”

“…….You drew after me yet you are faster than my demon sword Refresia of the wind……..”

The moment Ray drew his sword and then sheathed it was not even registered by Madra’s eyes.

Ray smiles.

“My friend was much faster than you using only a tree branch.”

“……A tree…….branch………..?”

Ray turns his back since the winner is determined.

“The destruction of Madra’s sword has been confirmed. The winner of the second match of the first round is Ray Grandori!!”

The cheer’s of the crowd was full of surprise.

“Amazing. That Madra was done in an instant.”

“Did anybody see him draw his sword? I didn’t see anything at all!”

“I wondered what was going to happen after Kurt was defeated but there are some reliable royals after all.”

“Aah. He is one of the chaos generation. He might even be the demon king of tyranny.”

The girl standing behind me stares at Ray’s back with a sad expression.

Well, the Lognoss demon sword association is a royal group after all.

I wonder why Ray belongs to them?

“Are you worried Misa?”

She nods.

“Shall we go and ask.”

“Eh….?”

“Come. Ask him directly and confirm it yourself.”

Misa followed me as I started walking.

(2) Quite a few of the words in both songs can have more than one meaning like violation can also mean beat down or trample so you could take it in a fight term or it can mean violation so it can be sexual but my skills are not up to the task of conveying it properly, sorry.
