Saiyan stowaways on the Ark

The loud noise disrupts the brain's balance system, and some unlucky individuals even have their eardrums ruptured.

Whether it was the need for necessary physiological adjustments to stop the attack, or the psychological realization of an insurmountable wall, both factors caused them to halt their offensive.

Was this job worth it?

Some people have had this idea.

This is just a mission for the family or the knights. Some people are just here to make quick money, thinking that ganging up on one person can be done quickly.

But now... the so-called "rewards" and "opportunities" don't seem to matter that much anymore.

As for money, you can earn it later. As for family merit, Olmer deserves it. He was already in need of a beating, and standing up for him won't bring you any good reputation.

As for reputation... let's not talk about winning. Losing to a powerful knight is not shameful, but even if a weak knight is strong, if you are defeated by him, others will still laugh at you more.

It's not worth it no matter how you look at it.

They began to find various reasons in their minds to back down.

One of the hired independent riders raised his hand at the drone, making a gesture of withdrawal.

The commentator, understanding perfectly, announced:

Oh! Looks like some people are already planning to quit! It sounds cowardly, but I think it's a wise choice!

"Hey! What are you doing!?"

"Huh? Me? I'm quitting, didn't you hear me? There's no benefit to this kind of competition, I don't want to play anymore... You're not going to keep bothering me, are you?"

The knight was taken aback by the vegetable knight's words, but he still explained to him in a weary tone.

Many of the other knights also laid down their weapons, appearing to be retreating as well.

Thomas began to ponder the scene before him and the knight's words.

Then he came to a conclusion that was somewhat disappointing—and also infuriating.

The knightly arena is terrible, rife with all sorts of shady dealings, but it is indeed a place where you can get "battle".

Perhaps by his standards, this level of power in a battle is insufficient, but as long as it is a "battle" in form, he will not refuse anything; it is simply his nature.

The hope is that Bardock and Gohan will join in order to make up for the lack of skill level.

But these opponents are not here to fight.

They just want to gain something else through fighting.

Their purpose in coming here is fundamentally different from that of Tomat; their purpose is not to fight, but to use fighting as a means.

Now that they realize they can't get what they want, they've given up the fight.

Knightly competitions can be used to pursue many things: money, fame, status, but few people are truly there to seek challenge and struggle.

When a group of people with conflicting goals enter the same field, even if they have some similarities in their behavior, it will inevitably lead to some conflict sooner or later.

But for now, Tomat is not yet ready to understand their purpose.

This is a fighting arena where you can use force to prove yourself, not a place for cowardly scum to chase fame and fortune.

If someone takes this idea as a common notion, then what they do next will be considered unreasonable and will need to be corrected.

"You don't want to fight, yet you dare to step onto the stage as a warrior? Challenge me?"

The knight's tone became serious.

Those knights who had just adjusted their hearing from the loud noise suddenly had a bad feeling.

They had a strong urge to raise their hands and surrender immediately.

"Whether you knew me before or not, I'm going to make you regret this."

If Tomat is unaware of his strength and never provokes conflict, he will not actively seek trouble.

Conversely, whether out of awareness or pure ignorance, if someone puts him in the position of "enemy" or "opponent," Tomat will respond accordingly.

Tomat himself was also prepared for this when he fought Gohan and Bardock.

But this group of people—they want me to be their opponent, and then they say they'll come and go?

With a calm but furious tone, Tomat wouldn't give anyone else a chance except the lucky one who had already surrendered.

If there's anything commendable about this utterly awful esports tournament, it's that it provides a platform for people to compete against each other.

Now that someone is trying to tarnish this last shred of value in Tomat's eyes, he will not allow it to happen easily.

Artillerymen or people working in areas with loud noise use this method to reduce the damage of sound waves to the eardrums and brain.

[Main Text] Terra's World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament. Debate Chapter: Chapter Fifty - If You Don't Reveal Your Fighting Spirit

Although the Knights Arena registration doesn't set any specific thresholds to allow more people to participate, those who dare to sign a contract and step onto the field in armor all have some skill or two, rather than being complete amateurs who can't even run a few steps in armor.

Not to mention those guys who had already been screened and confirmed to be quite strong before accepting the order to besiege the weak knight.

If they were placed in other competitions, at least in the novice zone, they would all be formidable players.

For these "experts," how long does it typically take from the moment they have the idea to raising their hands in surrender?

The normal reflex time for humans is 0.1s to 0.075s. Due to racial differences, some people in Terra have reaction speeds that exceed this range.

With diligent training, this time can be further shortened.

Startled by the sudden change in the other person's tone, they strained their arm muscles, putting their surrender thoughts into practice.

All you have to do is raise your hand and make a gesture towards the drone!

Whether the mission fails or you are ridiculed!

It's better than facing what's going to happen next!

The other side is not the same kind of being as us! From body to mind, they are nothing more than beings that are similar to ourselves but not quite!

Don't be fooled by that appearance!

He's a monster!

Fighting monsters was never something I expected when participating in the competition!

Even if this was just a baseless premonition from these knights who were participating with various motives, they didn't want to take the risk amidst the screaming fear in every cell of their bodies.

When the rookie knight—or rather, who disregarded this identity and spoke entirely from Tomat's own perspective as he said "You'll regret this," someone had already raised their hand to their chest.

Then, that person "flew" away.

The armor on the forehead, chest, and lower abdomen suddenly shattered, leaving obvious fist marks and cracks on the new armor that was thought to be indestructible.

The vegetable knight vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of the knight whose feet had left the ground due to the impact of the three punches—he had finished his attack.

If we consider his movements as normal speeds observable to the naked eye, then everything around him seems to approach stillness infinitely.

The knight who was hit was still in the instant he was off the ground. Using the speed of the rookie knight as a reference, the knight who should have flown out like a cannonball was just slowly "floating" backward in the air.

"next."

The other knight, who was still holding his hand up, became the next target.

"Bang-"

A chop to the neck landed on the man's thick neck armor.

His body remained standing, but his head, due to the chop, tilted to the opposite direction of the swing.

"next."

The armored arms did not hinder his more precise exertion of force. As he placed his palm on another person's abdomen and pushed forward, a force pierced through his hand armor and the other person's abdominal armor.

A violent surge of energy churned within the opponent's abdomen, eventually bursting out from behind, shattering the armor and imposing cloak beneath.

"next."

The fact that archers or magic users are far away doesn't mean that the novice knight will only go after clearing out the nearby melee knights.

He only looks at how high you raise your hand.

As mentioned before, "We will not give you the chance to surrender."

Those people had no choice but to surrender and were forced to accept defeat.

From the outcome, the two things are the same in nature, and the winner will not change, but there is something that Tomat is willing to fill in for them personally.

That was a brutal beating. The two archers, who were standing very close together, failed to catch each other's movements despite their excellent dynamic vision.

At this extremely close distance, the Rookie Knight threw uppercuts at the two men's chins, one on each side.

Their bodies "floated" into the air.

"next."

The vegetable knight pressed down on his opponent's shoulders, shoving him into the ground like a nail being driven into soft mud.

"next."

The raised wrist was grabbed and swung back and forth in the air like a rag before being released.

"next."

"Next..."

"Next!!"

......

The rookie knight finally stopped moving.

Time around us seemed to have returned to its "normal" flow.

"boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

"Bang—!!"

Amidst a cacophony of sounds, people witnessed a dozen or so knights who had been standing peacefully beside the rookie knight vanish from their places. Then, in various corners of the arena, sounds of impact and craters of varying sizes were heard.

Some were arranged in a starfish shape, embedded in the edge of the arena's perimeter wall.

Some of them pierced through the entire forest and landed in the artificial lake.
