The battle between contestant 12 and contestant 31 went as expected.

Contestant 12 never stood a chance.

After contestant 12's Mana Shield was deactivated, he only looked at the ground with an expression of melancholy and acceptance.

"It was a good fight," contestant 31 said.

Contestant 12 didn't immediately answer. "You know, I've never been truly talented."

Silence.

"I've taken it easy during my earliest years. I couldn't imagine dedicating so much of my time to becoming more powerful as the truly outstanding people on my level."

"I never gave it my all."

"And then, my wife was killed by a beast that had been just a bit more powerful than me."

"If I had just put in a bit more effort, I could have protected her."

Contestant 12 sighed again.

"That's when I actually started trying, you know?" he said as he looked at contestant 31.

"But no matter how hard I tried, there were so many people that were much stronger and smarter than me."

"My hard work didn't matter."

"I know that this doesn't concern you," contestant 12 said, looking to the side. "I think I just lost control. Forget what I said."

Silence.

Most people were bored of the sob story. There were so many people in the world with similar stories. It was basically normal.

"How many people have you seen as superior to yourself?" contestant 31 asked. "More than 20?"

"Much more," contestant 12 answered.

"And yet, you are in the top four in this tournament," contestant 31 said. "In my opinion, your self-pity is unjustified. Stop looking at your failures and look at your successes."

After that, contestant 31 walked to the side of the arena.

Contestant 12 only sighed again before also walking to the side of the arena.

The match between him and contestant 31 had hit him on a fundamental level.

The Impose Stage.

Was the Impose Stage truly better than the Weapon Variance Stage?

Contestant 12 sighed once again. 'I thought increasing the overall power of warriors was my job,' he thought.

Contestant 12's name was Oliver, and he was Shang's successor.

Sadly, Oliver hadn't been chosen by the God due to his outstanding talent but due to his mindset.

He was an altruistic person that liked to help others.

To him, the benefits for the greater collective outweighed the benefits for the individual.
