"Oh! It seems our orc representative, Lady Arya, has already conceded defeat!"
"Hey! You're the representative of all orcs! Shouldn't you be standing up with all your might and saying 'Again!' right now?!"
"I don't care! I'm not fighting anymore! I can't win!! I'm tired!!" Arya shouted stubbornly.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
The audience burst into laughter.
It wasn't that I was laughing at how embarrassing the orc representative was; I just thought she was cute.
Despite being the high and mighty representative of the entire orc race, he showed no inhibitions in front of such a large audience.
The pretty girl suddenly became much more approachable.
The mysterious and powerful orc image also becomes more down-to-earth at this moment.
"It seems that our Sword Hero is too powerful, causing our Orc Representative to lose all fighting spirit!"
However, we are not enemies, so there's no need for us to fight to the death! This is just a friendly sparring match!
Friendship first! Competition second!
Our Sword Hero has seriously injured the Orc Representative, so please take responsibility and take the Orc Representative to rest and receive treatment!
Next, we will have a large number of warriors training in different training grounds throughout the city, and the training footage will be broadcast publicly in different areas for a period of time…
While the presiding believer was speaking, An Yi had already walked to the transfer group and knelt down on one knee next to Wu Ailiya, speaking softly;
"How are your injuries?"
"My hands hurt! Both of my hands hurt!"
"No! My whole body aches!" Arya shouted.
"Okay, then I'll take you back."
"what?"
To Aria's surprise, An Yi actually picked her up and carried her to the entrance of the preparation room.
"Ooo ...
The audience cheered again, whether because of the announcement that there would be sparring matches to watch in each area, or because they saw Annie pick up Aria.
Arya wasn't embarrassed at all; instead, she smiled happily.
"He did a good job; even I was a little surprised."
On the way, An Yi spoke after entering the passage.
"Hehe, I've gotten stronger, haven't I? Can I catch up with An Yi a little now?" Although Aria was sweating profusely from the pain in her hands, she still asked with a smile.
“Yes, very strong.” An Yi nodded.
Although the battle ended quickly, Aria was not a hero after all, and it was already quite good that she could withstand a few moves.
If one is a hero, without worrying about getting hurt or hurting each other, one will definitely be able to demonstrate more of their own strength.
Neither of them were heroes; both An Yi and Aria held back, neither daring to go all out nor needing to.
After exchanging just two blows with An Yi, her hands were completely limp, as if all the bones in them were broken.
An's evaluation of Arya was not based on herself.
Instead, they use demons of similar strength as the basis for judgment.
If it were a demon of similar agility, it would surely have been electrocuted in just a few hits by Arya's unpredictable and lightning-fast attacks.
First of all, Arya's ability to unleash lightning is her absolute advantage and her primary means of attack in most situations.
Just because a demon is useless against An Yi in battle doesn't mean that every demon is as troublesome as An Yi.
Then, Arya's [Lightning Body] allows her to move as lightning to a certain extent, which is beyond what can be visualized using the [Agility] stat.
【Agility】 can only be used to define the speed at which she attacks after she appears, as well as her reaction speed to attacks.
Being able to move like lightning means that if she wants to pull, most demons at the same stage cannot detect her movements.
Take An Yi's instantaneous reaction just now, for example. Even a level 13 demon of the same stage as An Yi wouldn't be able to react in time.
If they could react in time, they wouldn't be a level 13 demon.
The reason I didn't gain the upper hand in my match against An Yi wasn't because she was bad at the game.
It's not that An Yi is too strong.
It seemed that when facing the demons' powerful weapons, she was completely incompetent.
“You are very strong now, I hope you can keep it up,” An Yi said calmly.
“Yes!” Arya nodded.
With this, An Yi's tests on the two "generals" in the organization were finally completed.
To be honest, both of them were stronger than he had imagined.
And they have all made very significant progress.
And now, only a few months have passed since they officially went into battle.
In An Yi's opinion, the two are very talented and have a lot of room for improvement.
Most importantly, they are equally diligent.
All of this was to train themselves and continuously accumulate experience in fighting against the demons.
An Yi believed that in the next nine years, they would definitely grow into powerful beings that would strike fear into the hearts of demons.
Back in the preparation room, the hero in charge of treatment was already waiting.
The two of them tacitly refrained from asking An Yi, "Who is stronger?"
An Yi didn't say anything either, because the two of them have different attributes and skill mechanics.
It should be said that... they are not even on the same track.
It's like comparing an eagle to a shark to see who can fly higher, or comparing a shark to an eagle to see who can move faster in the water—there's absolutely no need for such a comparison.
This sparring match wasn't originally intended to determine a winner or loser.
However, after the treatment ended, Arya asked a similar question to Elsa;
"Anyi, is there anything else I can improve my training with?" Aria asked, puzzled.
An Yi gave the same answer; he shook his head.
“Not yet.
Go and gain practical experience against different demon races.
It's no use me telling you this.
Moreover, the two of them have a significant advantage in their development.
That is, Nightmare can easily obtain information about different demon races.
Although they don't have a system, they have a support team behind them that is in no way inferior to the Hero Alliance.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that the Nightmare, operating within Demon Territory 8, is far more adept at gathering intelligence than the Hero Alliance, which is unable to penetrate deep into the Demon Realm.
The Hero Alliance needs heroes to provide feedback on their intelligence, but Nightmare does not.
The very nature of succubi dictates that no hero can rival them in managing information about the demon race.
The believers quickly brought the food, and Elsa and Arya inexplicably began discussing An'i's strength.
For example, something that surprised An Yi, or something that felt very oppressive.
An Yi listened from the side without saying anything. In his opinion, many of the responses were actually driven by instinct and not by much thought.
A moment later, a believer came to the preparation room, found An Yi, and said;
"Sword Hero! A hero known as the 'Thousand-Man Hero' wishes to see you."
Our investigation confirms that you do know the other party. May I ask…
An Yi: "Oh my god, what time is it? Where is it?"
Chapter 23 Master, I'm Stop Pretending (4k)
Although An Yi wasn't particularly concerned about which heroes had arrived, he did know that some of the famous heroes had already arrived.
For example, the leaders of the various war zones, such as the "Sword Hero" Hiro, are among them.
Humanity is not only fighting against the demons with the Saintess Squad; the entire human territory can be roughly divided into five war zones.
It is hoped that the Empire will be designated as the "Central War Zone," but due to the Empire's attitude and opportunistic behavior, this war zone currently only has a name and no hero activities.
To the left and right of the Hope Empire's center are the Eastern War Zone and the Western War Zone.
Further to the left and right of these two war zones are the Far East War Zone and the Far West War Zone.
In other words, aside from the four nominally active [Eight Central War Zones], the heroes operated across four separate war zones divided into three sections. ←〃〔
The four major war zones were further divided into twelve smaller war zones.
Each war zone is almost always named after the area where the local leader-level warriors first set out to operate, and these leader-level warriors are the warriors who have achieved the best results in a year.
This kind of "achievement" should actually be described as a kind of prestige.
A hero who rises to fame early on will accumulate more and more prestige by leading and participating in important battles, eventually becoming a leader-level hero in the region.
Their status is similar to that of the Saintess Squad among all heroes; when people talk about the strongest hero in the area, they think of their leader.
Let's take the "Sword Hero" Hiro as an example again. The war zone they belong to is called the "Silver Moon Fortress War Zone".
The Sword Hero Squad has been a leader for the past year. As the first squad to cooperate with the Saintess Squad, and being former soldiers themselves, they naturally led the actions of the heroes in the region.
As for the "Thousand-Man Hero" mentioned by the believer, although she is not a leader-level hero, she is still quite famous in her own region.
She has made a tremendous contribution to protecting the border.
The reason why I went to "investigate" before telling An Yi is quite simple.
Because the believers active in the Holy City do not fully understand the situation of each hero.
They might know the leading heroes of each region, and also what historical events have occurred in each small war zone.
