Roel watched the matches after him as a spectator, and the results were as he had expected. 

Paul encountered Juliana in the third round. 

That crimson-eyed woman had a master-level proficiency of dark magic that far surpassed that of other transcendents of her Origin Level.

Aside from that, she was also a highly-skilled warrior, being a native from the Knight Kingdom that worshiped strength.

Her choice of weapon was an ominous black greatsword.

The black greatsword glowed with an undulating red hue that looked as if it was breathing.

Paired with Julianas crimson eyes and the Knight Kingdoms unique armored laced skirt, she looked wild yet graceful at the same time. 

Much attention had been on her since the preliminary round, and she had gained quite a few fans to date, especially after she had proven that she wasnt just looks.

Juliana was unlucky that the chosen terrain was the rainforest, where Paul could put his armor, Forest Fae, to good use.

The concealment ability of Forest Fae was so powerful that even demonic beasts were unable to sense his presence.

So, she turned the shadows in the rainforest into countless little hands and combed through the area. 

Sure enough, she was able to nab Paul in the end and defeat him.

The sheer control she had over darkness stunned the crowd.

Even the distinguished guests at the VIP stand were amazed. 

The theories behind using a spell to search for someone over an area were actually fairly simple, but putting it into practice posed a huge challenge.

Often, multiple spellcasters were required to effectively put such searching spells to work, but Juliana was able to do it alone with incredible finesse. 

The moment she found Paul, she quickly leaped over through Shadow Meld and severed him into two with her greatsword. 

Her sharp and smooth movements were truly pleasant to the eye, demonstrating a perfect balance between elegance and lethality.

Even Roel was awed as well.

Paul suffered a crushing defeat, but he didnt receive any criticisms from the crowd.

His defeat was inevitable given the massive gap in their prowess, and he had already done well coming this far despite his limitations. 

Even the protagonists halo wasnt that almighty as to be able to turn reality on its head.

Paul might have been blessed with extraordinary luck that granted him favorable conditions practically every single round, but ultimately, luck wasnt omnipotent.

Juliana had shown that the only thing that could be relied on was true skills. 

It was worth mentioning that after severing Paul into two, Juliana managed to inflict a small cut on Paul through the overwhelming damage she inflicted and acquired a bit of his blood.

She gave it a taste and cringed right after.

“Tsk.

What kind of taste is this”

Juliana frowned in disgust for a moment before turning her eyes toward the spectator stand, where Roel was seated at.

Roel interpreted her gesture to be an act of provocation, but he didnt pay it much heed. 

He did eliminate Selina not too long ago, and from the looks of it, Juliana and Selina seemed to be fairly close with each other. 

Following Pauls defeat, the other vice-chief of the Bluerose Faction also slipped up and lost his battle too.

However, this was within expectations since Geralts opponent was none other than Brittany.

His legs had been trembling right from the start of the battle.

It would have taken a true miracle for him to win the fight in that state. 

Once again, Brittany refreshed Roels understanding of how poor a persons communication skills could get.

When she saw how pale Geralts complexion was, she uttered classical yandere words.

“Id rather have you die by my hands…”

“S-sorry”

Geralt felt like his heart was going to explode from fear when he heard those words.

It further reinforced his notion that Brittany was off her rockers, though based on Roels understanding of Brittany… she just chose the wrong words to express herself.

Brittany was probably trying to say that it would be safer for him to lose to her since others might fail to control their strength properly and injure Geralt, but miscommunication appeared to be the unique trait of the Valkyrie Bloodline.

Her kind intention was mysteriously distorted the moment it came out through her mouth. 

Under Brittanysintimidation, the terrified Geralt swiftly succumbed to his fear and lost tragically. 

To be fair, it was unlikely that Geralt would have been able to defeat Brittany even if not for the moral disadvantage.

Brittany and her Valkyrie Bloodline were simply far too much for Geralt, who had barely reached Origin Level 4 a few days ago. 

The other fights were pretty standard.

Nora and Lilian crushed their enemies, as per usual, and Charlotte managed to outlast her opponent by dragging the fight out. 

The blindfolded transfer student, Stuart, got eliminated though. 

His opponent was an Origin Level 4 foreigner who boasted a wealth of combat experience, and the chosen terrain was a desert.

There was nothing special about their battle, just the two of them exchanging fairly normal spells.

The opponent ended up winning by a narrow margin, but from the start to the end, Stuart never took off his blindfold. 

Due to the blindfold, many felt that Stuart hadn\'t gone all out in the battle.

Those who had bet on Stuarts victory even started a protest, claiming that it was a staged fight to steal their money. 

Roel was quite perplexed about it too, but he felt that the battle might not necessarily have been staged. 

Could it be that Stuarts eyes arent intended for combat

Such a thought flashed across his mind, but he quickly shrugged it off.

After watching all of the battles, the members of the Bluerose Faction returned to the Azure Manor together.

The atmosphere wasnt too bad due to Roels successful advancement to the next round, but it was unlikely that they would be having a celebration party.

It would have been insensitive of them to celebrate when both Paul and Geralt had gotten eliminated. 

In fact, Roel even met with them privately in the guest room to talk about it.

Paul and Geralt had realized their own insufficiencies through the tournament and vowed to work even harder than before. 

Roel encouraged their proactive attitude since they were already friends and comrades.

It was likely that he would require their help in the future, so he fully supported their desire to become stronger. 

After the quick chat, Roel finally had some time to himself. 

He hadnt really thought much about it earlier, but it was a little weird that Alicia didnt return to the Azure Manor with him.

She had left the colosseum together with Chris before the matches for the day came to an end, and he hadnt seen her around since then.

Did the Goddess of Fates Guidance slip up

Perplexed, Roel started making his way to the dining room.

However, the moment he opened the doors of the dining room, he was met with multiple confetti poppers.

Pop!

“Lord Brother, congratulations on advancing to the next round!”

“Alicia Miss Chris”

Roel watched in bewilderment as the magic confetti poppers released a festive rain of colorful ribbons all around. 

“We know that the Bluerose Faction wont be celebrating today because of Paul and Geralts elimination, so Alicia and I decided to hold an internal family celebration for you instead.

What do you think Surprised” Chris explained with a smile.

“It really is a surprise.”

Touched by their gesture, Roel revealed a gentle smile to the two of them.

Alicia quickly grabbed his hand and pulled him over to the table, which was already filled with a huge spread.

He couldnt help but notice that the dishes were a little different from usual. 

“Hm How unusual.

Ive never seen these dishes before…”

“We are your chefs for today.

I cant say that its delicious, but its at least a gesture of our feelings.”

“You prepared all of these”

“Lord Brother, I made the soup all alone!” exclaimed Alicia as she puffed out her chest proudly. 

Roel was taken aback.

Looking at the dishes before him, he suddenly felt like an accomplished father whose daughter had suddenly grown up. 

When did that little girl who needed to be fed during meals turn into an adult who can now make her own food

He felt a little tearful thinking about it.

To conceal his feelings, he quickly dug into the soup. 

“How is it, Lord Brother”

“Its delicious!”

“Haa, thats a relief.”

Roel responded as affirmatively as any parents would when trying their childs cooking for the first time.

But as he said those words, he realized that the soup Alicia made was indeed pretty good. 

Whats going on Is this an effect of the Perfect Origin Attribute too

Roel slurped up over half a bowl of soup within moments. 

Alicia was delighted to see how much Roel liked her dish, and Chris couldnt help but chuckle looking at the sight too. 

“Alicia has been practicing this dish in my kitchen over the last few days.

Theres no way it isnt be delicious.”

“I see.”

Roel felt even more moved upon hearing Chris words. 

To his surprise, the dishes prepared by Chris were excellent too.

It was only on further questioning that he learned that Chris had been living all alone all this while, and she had been interested in culinary ever since her student years. 

“I initially picked up cooking to impress your father, but I got dumped before I could master it.

Count yourself lucky!”

“Is that so Hahaha.”

Roel laughed awkwardly in response to Chris grumble.

While he was still feeling moved by all of this, Alicia took this opportunity to grab Roels arm and make her request.

“Lord Brother, wont you allow me to stay with you tonight”
