Parallel Memory

Chapter 457: The Genius Of Human Race [2]



"Winner! Hiro Ernest from the Human Race!"

With the announcement of Hiro's victory, the arena erupted in a mix of cheers, gasps, and whispers of disbelief.

The spectacle they had just witnessed was beyond anything they could have imagined. The battle had shattered preconceived notions and demonstrated the incredible strength and potential of humans.

Typically Therianthrope's races are faster than other races and that includes Humans as well. Well that was what was believed and known, however, Hiro displayed speed surpassing even the genius of Therianthropes race.

Moreover, with the previous display of strength by humans, they thought that Hiro wouldn't be any different. However, Hiro managed to overturn their thought and easily won against Lydonn.

Therianthrope's races were the one who was most surprised. Lydonn was someone who even among the geniuses was considered the fastest and the strongest, and Hiro had managed to defeat him without a single scratch.

King Thranduil smiled. He was delighted that what Elara told was true. Although he still can't be sure, that single fight was enough to tell that Hiro would become one of the strongest.

"...."

Princess Elenia was also stunned. She didn't think of Hiro as anything even with what her father had said. However, Hiro was much stronger and she knew that she wasn't as strong as him when she was at his rank.

( Is this the real power of human? )

She thought. Now, she grew interested in humans, particularly Hiro.

"Oh! So this is the human considered the most talented in the Human Domain! He truly deserved the title!"

"It seems that he has not shown everything he has. I don't believe that it was his full power."

"We might be in for a treat for his future fight. I look forward to seeing his full power." …

Other races' guardians talked with each other. They had all heard about Hiro and his feat but it was their first time seeing him. They were naturally fascinated by his strength while also wary of it.

Although they appeared to be in alliance or some sort, the different races gathered didn't particularly have a good history with each other, and it was especially true for humans.

Anyway, Hiro had finally managed to make a good impact on other races and regained the dignity of humans. The human geniuses all cheered for Hiro's victory.

Hiro sheathed his sword and took a deep breath, allowing the adrenaline to subside. He walked over to Lydonn's unconscious form, concern in his eyes despite the fierce battle they had just waged.

He knelt beside him and checked for any signs of severe injuries. Finding none, he sighed in relief.

Medical personnel rushed onto the field to tend to Lydonn's wounds and carry him off on a stretcher. Hiro stood up and looked around at the crowd.

The spectators' gazes were filled with admiration, respect, and a newfound understanding of the capabilities of humans.

As Hiro exited the arena, he was met with a mix of applause and cheers from his fellow human geniuses.

"Nice work!"

"You did great!"

"Finally! We can lift our heads a bit. I was really frustrated by all the losses. Now, they know ont to underestimate humans."

"Congratulations on your victory!" ….

Other human geniuses said to Hiro as he came back to his seat. Hiro nodded with a smile.

His friend also congratulated him.

"Hiro, that was a good fight. Lydonn of Therianthropes was really fast. I could barely see him."

Sylvia said. She could barely see Lydonn movement even from afar, however, as for Hiro's movement, it was impossible for her to see any of it, especially after he used Star Swift.

"Yeah! He was really strong. If I wasn't very careful, I might have gotten serious injuries!"

Hiro said, acknowledging his opponent's strength. However, anyone could see that it would have been very difficult for Lydonn to do so as Hiro was much faster than him.

Anyway, the next round has already started when he was busy talking with his friend. It was between a Dwarf and Elves.

Both were in Rank-A and seemed fairly powerful. As usual, The dwarf used a hammer as a weapon and the Elves used the bow.

The match was the longest fight among all the fights. The Elves maintain distance while attacking the dwarf while the dwarf tries to get closer to the Elves.

With dwarf defensive abilities, most of the Elves' attacks were negated but the Dwarf couldn't land a solid hit on the Elves.

At the end of the fight, the dwarf has exhausted itself and as a result won the fight.

The dwarf was not necessarily weaker than the Elve, it was just that the fighting style of Elves held advantage over the Dwarf which resulted in the Dwarf loss.

Anyway, the contest continued and humans were finally winning. After Hiro, there had been three more humans who fought and they all won.

By this point, it was made clear that humans were not weak.

And one thing that made it difficult to deal with humans was their variety of Art and different fighting styles. Unlike Dwarf and Elves, who all use the same weapon, depending on different humans, they use different weapons and fighting styles.

This made it very difficult for the opponent to know how to deal with the human opponent until they fought.

On the other hand, it was much easier to guess what type of fight to expect depending on the race that humans get to fight.

If you get Dwarf as your opponent, keep your distance. If you get Elves as an opponent, try to close the distance as soon as possible.

If Therianthropes is your opponent, focus more on defense and counter attack.

However, despite knowing this, it didn't mean that it was easy to defeat them. Although similar, they also have their own unique way of fighting and if you are not careful, you could easily lose despite knowing their weaknesses.

And one thing that was disadvantageous for humans was that although they have a variety of Art, they could never excel like the other races.

For example, let's say a human whose Art is close combat which was to increase one's strength. Although he will be much stronger than other humans who practiced different Art, he will never be stronger than Dwarf.

Dwarfs were born with extraordinary strength combined with the Art that was designed to increase their strength. Similar was the case for archery and other Art.

Humans were jack of all trades but master of none.

It was both a good and bad thing!

Anyway, the next match's name was decided and it was the turn of one of the strongest people from Elves side.

It was Princess Elenia!
