Martial Arts Worlds

World Seas, Black Rock Island, the common room of the black castle.

"Is this the best humanity has to offer? I expected there to be some kind of challenge, but aye aye."

Zacred said with a grin.

"Does anyone know who this dude is?"

Percival asked.

"…Nope."

"No."

"No."

None of them had bothered to watch the humanity's Junior Martial Arts Championship, as they thought it was just another second-rate competition.

All they knew was that something happened that forced the Junior Martial Arts Championship to shut down earlier than planned.

'…This is what we'll be fighting against? A bunch of second-rate fighters? We could've sent our fourth-best team to this competition and still won.'

Beast Prince Arazimir thought with a scoff.

At this rate, if there weren't going to be stronger opponents, there would be no way that he could prove to the entire Animal Kingdom that he deserved to be the next king.

'Humanity is all that you guys have to offer?!'

…

New Rakuya, Irio, Cloudy Street.

"And the third representative is…"

The dark-haired man paused, took a quick look at the papers in his hands, and then said.

"Zeus Abracadabra, young prince of Nightingale's Abracadabra family!"

On the screen, the arrogant face of a bowl-cut boy appeared. A smug smile had spread across his face.

When Julian saw him, he gritted his teeth.

"Abracadabra…"

Karma took a deep breath and lowered his head.

…

World Seas, Nightingale, Abracadabra Castle.

"Good job, Zeus!"

The claps sounded in the rock-walled interior of the castle, as the large gathering of the Abracadabra family had gathered in the castle's common room to watch the broadcast.

With a smile on his face, Zeus took a sip of the light beer and chatted with his brothers.

Kiah, the youngest brother of the three, looked very excited, while Marco stayed silent while sulking on the couch.

He listened to everyone congratulating his brother and couldn't help but feel envious of his success.

He had to admit that he didn't have his big brother's talent.

While Marco was training from dawn till dusk, Zeus was mostly spending his time in brothels and at parties.

He barely trained, but Zeus, with his talent alone, was able to put all his rivals into a chokehold, as none of them could match his insane talent.

It was clear that Zeus was going to be an extremely powerful navy soldier in the future, and Karl-Michael had high hopes for him, even though he had some nasty habits that needed to be gotten rid of.

"…"

Standing at the back, Messiah looked coldly at the screen and clicked his tongue at his shitty luck.

If this tournament had only been a few years earlier, he could've participated, but he was now too old.

Instead, the spotlight would be on his younger rival, Zeus.

…

On the screen, the statistics of Zeus' stay in the selection draft were displayed for everyone to see.

[Final Ranking: 9]

[Points: 19,940]

[Style: Abracadabra Family Style]

[Martial Rank: Low Stage Martial Grandmaster]

[Notes: The champion of Nightingale's Blood Moon Tournament]

When that disappeared from the screen, the dark-haired man appeared back on the television screen and immediately moved to reveal the fourth representative.

He looked at some of the information regarding the representative and was genuinely surprised.

"And the fourth representative is…"

After a slight pause, he said.

"Antigone Collingwood, the youngest participant of the tournament, as she is only fifteen years old."

On the screen, a very young face appeared, which was both cute and pretty-looking with a sweet smile on the face.

Around the world, when everyone realized who the Human Government chose, there was outcry in every household.

Social media was flooded with debate and controversy over the decision, but more shocking news came after her stats were shown on the screen.

[Final Ranking: 12]

[Points: 17,400]

[Style: ???]

[Martial Rank: Low Stage Martial Grandmaster]

[Notes: Nothing]

"What the hell? Fifteen-year-old Martial Grandmaster?"

Karma said in shock as he realized just how rare that was, as there were probably a handful of humans with that kind of talent in human history!

Aoi and Julian also had their jaws dropped.

The social media exploded with amazement. How come no one had heard about her before? She must be currently the greatest talent in the world with that kind of talent!

'She made it… Good.'

Kiernan smiled.

…

World Seas, Black Rock Island, the common room of the black castle.

"What the fuck? Fifteen years old? Did I hear that right? Are they actually lying in a global broadcast? How bold!"

Zacred said with a laugh.

He didn't think there was any chance that humanity would have talent of that caliber, as that talent rivaled that of Beast Prince Arazimir!

Beast Prince Arazimir finally had a look of interest. But also disappointment. If she were three years old, maybe she could be some proper competition.

However, for now, she was too young, and her martial rank was simply too low for her to be any kind of challenge.

"Looks like they're capable of producing some talent…"

Dawn Pawford thought out loud.

"You guys really think that what he said is true? I think they're lying."

Zacred said.

"Who knows. We'll see it for real during the tournament, but so far, the humanity has two Middle Stages and Low Stages competing.

"They will be crushed by us."

…

New Rakuya, Irio, Cloudy Street.

With the excitement in the social media barely calming down, the dark-haired man immediately started to reveal yet another representative.

"And the fifth representative is…"

Kiernan went to the kitchen to get some water, and when he walked back to the living room, he saw his face appear on the television screen.

"Kiernan Hunter, the representative over from New Rakuya. Congratulations!"

"Oh my god!"

Aoi jumped in excitement with a bright smile on her face, and Julian and Karma looked gobsmacked.

He really did it!

Karma couldn't believe that his son was now officially among the best talents according to the Human Government!

It was unbelievable!

"Oh, I made it…"

Kiernan sipped on the water, and, at his back pocket, he felt his phone go absolutely nuts as he immediately received hundreds of message notifications.
