Volume 5 Chapter 109

「Are you okay? Were you injured」

The referee declared me the winner, so I got off the stage and went to Sally.

By the way, the audience was in a huge uproar.

Even though I used magic, they were all praising me, probably because I overwhelmingly defeated Sally, who had magnificently defeated the bear Beastman in the first round.

The magic detection crystal balls installed in the hall did not react, so they probably didn’t know that the technique I used to blow sally away was magic.

「My body is alright, meow. However, I couldn’t even get close to Haruto-sama, much less attack you with even just one hit.」

Sally felt really depressed.

You could easily feel what the Beastmens’ are feeling based on their ears or tail.

「Well, five of those flaming knights can defeat a Majin, that’s the amount of magic it had. So you don’t have to beat yourself up over this.」

「I, is that so, meow」

「More importantly, you did great avoiding all those attacks. I think that was really difficult, though… do you, by any chance, possess extreme intuition?」

「No, what I have is the intuition enhancement skill, meow. Unlike the rare skill of extreme intuition that is consistent, I had to turn the skill on and off intentionally, meow」

She was apparently overcome with fear when the Majin attacked her, thus she was unable to activate the skill.

「So that’s how it is. By the way, it may be a long time coming, but if I make a clan someday, will you join?」

A group called ‘clan’ existed in this world.

It was a small group of adventurers who gathered together with a common purpose.

There were also instances when parties gathered and called themselves a clan.

While those self-proclaimed clans existed, there were also official clans that were recognized by the country.

Clans recognized by the country receive regular commissions that pay generously, so there was no need to be worried about finding work.

As my family grew, I realised I needed to think about how I would provide for them, and after some research, I decided that running a clan recognised by the country would be the greatest option.

Besides, since I came to another world, of course I’d want to have my own clan.

Aim for it! The world’s strongest clan!! Sally seemed like she’d become stronger from this point forward, and she did say she wanted to be my subordinate. This was a bit different from being a subordinate, but I thought it would be good if I invited her to the clan.

「Eh! I, is that alright!?」

Oh, it seems like she’s quite interested.

「Yeah. It would probably take me a few years more before I can build a clan, but I want Sally to become one of our comrades someday」

「I’ll be, meow, I will be, meow! I’ll train more, and I’ll do my best and I’ll be a strong fighter, meow. That’s why I wanted to join Haruto-sama’s clan, meow!!」

Great! I secured one member candidate for my clan!

In this world, it was normal to scout soldiers and adventurers.

As for the armies and guild they were scouted from, you had to provide very attractive conditions for them to consider joining you, otherwise, you had no choice but to give up.

However if you did something too outrageous, you would receive a warning from the union of the country and guilds, and sometimes, they would retaliate against you, so you have to be careful not to go overboard.

I planned to look for people who had the fighting potential in this War God’s Strength Tournament, and who would be willing to join me.

「Then please hold on to this」

I handed a small stone to Sally.

「What is this, meow?」

「It’s a magical stone with a magic circle of communication stored in it. When I build the clan, I’ll contact you through this. Don’t lose it.」

「I will treasure it and carry it on me at all times, meow!」

After saying that, Sally carefully placed the stone inside her chest.

After that, Sally, the loser, went up the grandstand, and I remained beside the arena so I could watch the match that would determine my next opponent.

The next match was a battle between a wild boar Beastman and an elephant Beastman.

The wild boar Beastman tackled his opponent with great speed the moment the battle started.

The elephant Beastman firmly captured the wild boar Beastman, then effortlessly tossed his body outside of the arena.

It was over in less than ten seconds.

It did not mean the wild boar Beastman was weak.

He also overwhelmingly defeated the monkey Beastman during the first round.

The elephant Beastman was way too powerful.

However, I should be more cautious of his defense power.

He didn’t just have a high defensive power.

After arriving at a certain level of defense power, they would gain an ‘anti-magic skin’, a magic nullifying skill.

That elephant Beastman possessed that skill, there was no doubt about it.

Even the flaming knights probably wouldn’t be able to do much damage to him.

It would cancel the magic attack at the moment of contact, so direct attacks using the magical suit wouldn’t be that effective as well.

That’s why –

「Is it your turn next?」

I gripped the hilt of the sword Hakoku which I carried on my back.
