The name for the second round was being determined and then it happened!
It was between Human and Dryad!
And unfortunately for humans, the name was someone from William's group. William, who was boosted to be second strongest in that group, has already lost miserably.
Zero didn't expect some miracle to happen with someone who is even weaker than Lucius.
( Looks like Humans are going to be humiliated again! )
Other human geniuses also wore a gloomy expression. Maybe other races didn't know but they knew well enough to know that anyone from William's group would be devastated by any opponent there.
They were already humiliated because of Lucius, now another clown took the stage. He also walked confidently and talked about how he is going to take revenge for Lucuis.
…
"Winner! Elowen Swiftleaf from Dryad Race!"
Another battle that ended in a first strike. William's friend tried to go all out but was instantly caught in the illusion casted by the Dryad.
The moment he got caught, he already lost!
Another humiliating defeat for humans. Even other races were discussing what was happening. They all thought that as one of the dominant races, humans would be strong. But one after another, they were defeated easily.
They began to doubt whether Humans are even strong!
"Humph! Look at those humans. They can't even fight properly. Dad, I don't know why you invited them."
Princess Elenia said. As a prideful princess, she thinks that Elves are a powerful race, more powerful than even Devil and Human.

King Tranduil said. He wants his daughter to learn to never underestimate others and moreover, look past just power.
Elenia kept quiet but her dads words didn't change what she was thinking.
( Why do we need to rely on those races? )
Elenia thought. From her perspective, every race was weak and useless. She didn't believe that increasing the strength of those geniuses would prevent the calamity that Elara speaks of.
And through this contest, she was going to prove it. There is no need to rely on them and they only need her to save everyone.
( I am going to easily crush every one of them! )
Elenia thought. Not only win but win so effortlessly that it would change the mind of her dad and Elara.
The contest continued for quite a while. Among the race, the one who was getting bash around was human.
Among the ten fights, five of them had humans. And every fight, humans have lost. One of the reasons was because of how lucky they were.
Of five human participants, 4 were from William's group and as for the last person, his opponent was Rank-A which was one major rank higher than him.
This opted other races to look down on humans. And Humans were frustrated by all the losses that they incurred.
"If it was me, I would have shown them!"
"Calm down! Our turn will come and then we will show them!"
"Curse this Damn Luck!" …
Humans were not having a great time with how they looked.
The name for the 11th round was spinning and everyone waited for the name to be shown. The human geniuses were particularly waiting for their turn as they wanted to show how powerful they really were.
"Hiro Ernest from Human Race and Lydonn from Therianthrope Race!"
The referee announced!
Hiro was excited when his name was called.
"Good Luck!"
"Do your best!"
"Show them what you got!"
Lisa, Sylvia and Misha cheered for Hiro. Three of them believed that Hiro would be able to win the fight.
Hiro nodded and then said, "I will be going then!"
He took out his sword and then walked towards the arena. His opponent was already in the arena, seemingly eager to fight.
Zero looked at Hiro's opponent and then became uninterested in the fight.
HIs opponent was also the same as Hiro with Rank-A -. Although one might think that the fight's result would be difficult to determine because both of them are geniuses with the same rank, however, as someone who knows Hiro, Zero could already predict the future.
With System's help even a super genius stands no chance against Hiro. And even without System's help, he is strong enough to defeat even geniuses.
The name of Hiro interested many parties. Hiro's name was not only famous in Human Domain but with other domains, his name was spread.
Of course, all they knew was that humans have a very talented person named Hiro. Other than that, most of them had no idea who Hiro was.
However, because of previous matches of humans, they didn't hold high expectations for this match. They thought that this fight might also end in an instant even though both of them are in Rank-A.

King Tranduil thought when Hiro's name was announced. Because of all the compliments from Elara, he was more eager than anyone to watch Hiro's fight.
Even though humans' fight had been disappointing, King Tranduil knew that it would be different.
"Watch this match carefully and let's see whether you think the same as before about humans!"
King Tranduil said to his daughter. It was a good chance for him to let his daughter learn a lesson about never underestimating others.
Princess Elenia was surprised by what her dad was saying.She didn't think that her dad would have so much expectation of the human who just entered the arena.
"Sure!"
( Let's see what's special about you! )
Elenia thought as she directed her concentration towards Hiro.
At the arena, Lydonn and Hiro had arrived. Lydonn was obviously looking down on Hiro because of all the previous fights of humans.
"Hehe… Why don't you just surrender to make this easier for each other?"
Lydonn said. He acted as if he was giving a chance to Hiro.
"Thanks for your offer but I would like to try winning before giving up!"
Hiro replied.
Unlike others, he didn't mind others underestimating him. He just had to do what he had to do whether his opponent is underestimating him or not.
"I gave you the chance but you refused. Don't blame me if you broke your limb!"
Lydonn said while showing his sharp teeth.
"Are you ready?"
Referee asked and both Lydonn and Hiro nodded their heads.
"Then let the fight begin!"
