The tournament's opening bell gathered the scattered tribes and the contestants. The annual tournament was grand, allowing all orcs, including wandering orcs, to participate. There were some particularly strong and cunning females as well, among them. The tournament was a great opportunity, especially for some wandering orcs and females, to appeal to other orcs and tribes and eventually be recruited.

Ezra was not interested in participating. He knew it was a battle of strength, and he was very self-aware of the strength of his formidable rabbit punch.

Rowan was different. Not only as a strong individual but also as a tribe leader, although it is said to be voluntary, he's obliged to participate. It's an unspoken rule. Similarly, other tribe leaders signed up as well.

Among the ones who signed up were some with sinister intent, including the black rabbit and Leo's father and tribe.

Really, a tournament worth looking forward to~

In a wide open ground, a natural colosseum lay with hundreds of thousands of audience seated surrounding the arena. Among the seats was a special section where special seats existed on three levels, the top two seats being the fanciest.

Ezra didn't know where to go, but he didn't have to worry because Rowan naturally took him to the highest level in that special section and sat there with him with two orc warriors on both sides of them for protection.

Rowan didn't leave Ezra confused. He explained, "As the winner of the previous tournament, I sit here with my mate. I won't actively fight in the matches and will directly fight the final winner."

Seeing as Rowan couldn't be bothered about the couples in the two lower levels, Ezra specifically asked about.

"What about them?"

Rowan just gave them a glance, "They took second and third place last time. The final winner is required to choose among the three warriors to challenge. At the very end, the two warriors below me and I can challenge each other or anyone among the contestants."

"Hm? Anyone among the contestants? If you remain as the strongest, wouldn't that be just bullying?"

"Or advising someone of interest. Usually, the champion doesn't bother to pick anyone. ...There was once an overly excited champion who disliked the lack of competition and had everyone come at him together. He beat them all up."

Ezra's eyes flashed with interest for a moment. Rowan seriously considered going after them all as well.

Rowan: ...Gotta keep his eyes on me. (^_^;)

Ezra saw some very familiar faces among the bustling challengers, including the black rabbit and Leo's father. Now he was truly interested in seeing this competition, to see how strong these people who had continuously provoked him were.

The hustle and bustle seemed to calm down a bit as a loud orc announced the matches, but it was the calm before the storm because the moment the first contestants entered the arena, cheers erupted throughout the stadium-like structure. People started spending money like water, betting on different contestants.

However, soon the bustle started calming down a bit as contestants started thinning out. Strong contestants like the black rabbit and Leo's father easily bulldozed through the first half of the contestants, ending matches in seconds. There were other clans and tribes, even wandering orcs fighting and winning matches. You could tell that the truly strong ones did not reveal all their cards and continued to fight.

The only problem was the particularly eye-catching and loud couple, no, throuple who were pretty much announcing to the world that they were powerful and lovey-dovey. Yes, it was the main character and his harem. It seems that, since the lion and the snake, who were originally part of Kang Joon's harem, went off to find their own happiness in the wolf's tribe, he seems to have found a new member. It was a bear.
