We Are Not Getting Remarried: Show Yourself Out

Anna wanted to speak, but Elisa beat her to it.

"Anna had only left for a while to use the washroom. Since you suspect her, doesn't it mean you don't trust the village chief?"

Anna looked into Elisa's eyes with conflicting emotions.

Sodo was indignant, but there was nothing he could do.

Thus, the matter came to an end.

Later, Anna glanced at Elisa. Her gaze appeared turbulent with complicated emotions.

Meanwhile, Gareth successfully passed the first test.

The second test was called 'Valiance.'

Since there were thirty-three participants, one got to sit out the first round. The rest would have to fight their opponent in a battle similar to a wrestling match. They would proceed a few rounds until only eight participants were left.

The participants would also draw a lot at each round. The person with a blank lot got to sit out the match.

Thus, everyone rubbed their hands, hoping to draw a blank lot on the first round.

Ultimately, an ordinary-looking man obtained the blank lot.

Gareth glanced at the number he drew. It was twelve.

He glanced at his opponent, a kid of around fifteen years old. Outside this village, this kid would still be in middle school.

Gareth was speechless. He got onto the stage and looked at the boy whose height only reached Gareth's chest. Gareth tried his best to appear friendly.

He suggested, "Perhaps you should forfeit."

The boy widened his eyes and felt humiliated.

"No! I participate in the warriors' tournament and am not a coward. You don't have to hold back. Let's fight!"

After saying that, the boy dashed toward Gareth to attack him.

He fought with all his might and punched Gareth relentlessly.

However, Gareth easily dodged his every attack.

He did not want to hurt the kid but would not stop the battle.

The kid paused his episode. He realized Gareth had been holding back. Thus, he said fiercely, "Don't look down on me just because I'm small. Fight me with all you've got. That's the respect I want!"

Gareth opened his mouth but did not know what to say.

Meanwhile, Elisa smiled as she watched from the side. She was pretty impressed with the boy.

The boy knew he could not defeat Gareth. Yet, he refused to back down and asked Gareth to fight him with full strength as a sign of respect.

Gareth nodded and began to stretch his muscles.

The boy did not use the chance to attack Gareth but waited patiently for him to be done.

While sounds of brawls and painful groans came from other battle stages, Gareth's stage was surprisingly peaceful.

Soon, Gareth was ready and charged at the boy.

The boy also stepped forward to meet the challenge.

Gareth's attacks were quick and decisive.

Although he held back a little to avoid endangering the boy, his attacks were not to be underestimated.
