The Author's POV

Chapter 424

After the incident with Emma, the tournament was put on hold for a couple of days.

The reason why it was put on hold had nothing to do with Emma, in truth. Instead, it was because the preparations for broadcasting the tournament throughout each domain were ready.

Since it required a lot of mana to broadcast the events, the leaders only chose to start broadcasting them at the round of thirty-two.

With radio frequencies being blocked by the barrier enveloping Issanor, normal broadcasting means couldn't be used. Hence, the long waiting time.

At least this applied to the human side as they needed to make the proper arrangements. They weren't as advanced as the other races after all.

"Congrats on passing the round."

Meeting up with Ava and Hein, I first congratulated Ava who had actually passed the round.

Because of the incident that happened, I was unable to watch her fight live. But after gaining access to replays of the video, I spent a good couple of hours analyzing her fight. And I had to say, I was impressed.

At first, I thought that she wouldn't have made it this far as, like Hein, her specialty didn't lie in 1 v 1. But, I was quickly proven wrong.

With her now improved flute, she could summon up to eight beasts, with all of them ranked at around rank.

Typically, this many beasts wouldn't have been able to deal with a rank, but the synergy that Ava was able to create between each beast made her a known threat, enough to bridge a rank gap.

Watching her fight in the video I was really left amazed and made a mental note to myself to pay close attention to her next fight. Perhaps she would once again surprise me.

"Thank you."

At my words, Ava replied with a smile.

"I wasn't really confident in my chances, but I guess I got lucky."

"No."

I shook my head.

"Luck can only get you so far. This was all you."

Turning to look behind Ava, my eyes paused on Hein.

"You seem to be doing a lot better than before. You managed to get over your loss."

"Not really…"

Hein replied with a bitter smile on his face.

"Although I always knew that I wasn't going to win… I at least wanted to make it past the round of thirty two."

"There, there."

Turning around, Ava patted Hein on the shoulder… Or at least tried to. She was too short to reach him.

Eventually, after realising that she couldn't reach him, she gave up.

"Whatever."

She softly mumbled as she crossed her arms and pouted. Hein, who was already used to such a scene, didn't seem to mind it and continued.

"I don't know, I just feel like I still have a lot that is lacking."

"Don't we all?"

Honestly, I felt gratified that Hein felt this way.

If someone did not think they were lacking in anything then their growth would just stunt. Even Kevin whom I had talked to last night realized just how many flaws he had.

No one was perfect.

That included me. I was nowhere near perfect. But, just because one had flaws didn't mean that they were weak.

"Well, since you realized that you have many flaws, just work on them. The less they become apparent, the more you know you're doing something right."
