"Are you kidding me?!"

"What is this joke!?"

"Fight already!"

Those were the shouts that came from the crowd around us.

But it wasn't like that in the beginning.

When we first stepped out onto the stage, the crowd was cheering excitedly for us.

It seemed like their expectations had been raised even though they had been disappointed previously.

But it wasn't strange that they were like this.

After all, this was the final match of this tournament. No one would think that the final match would end just like the semi finals had, with one side forfeiting before they even started fighting.

When we came up to the stage, we were introduced by the host that was waiting there.

It seemed that this time, they weren't just leaving everything to the judge.

This time, they were actually properly holding a show before the fight began.

Tammy was the one that was introduced first and there were loud cheers for her. It seemed that there were more females cheering for her than there were males.

She had quite a few female fans, but that wasn't strange since Tammy was what many of them would have aspired to be.

When it was time for her to say a few words, Tammy said, "Please watch over me today."

There was a moment of silence after Tammy said this as the crowd was a bit confused as to what she meant by this, but it didn't take long before they started cheering for her again.

It seemed that even if they didn't understand what she meant by this, she was popular enough that it didn't matter.

Then after Tammy, it was my turn to be introduced.

This time, the reaction from the crowd was much more tame than when Tammy was introduced.

There were less cheers and there were even a few whispers.

It was clear that I didn't have the same reputation as Tammy, but that wasn't strange because of everything that had happened. I was the only one who had advanced without fighting a single match.

All of my opponents had forfeited before I even had the chance to fight them, so there were many people who even speculated that I had done something to them before the fight.

I didn't say a thing when I heard all of this since I already knew that it was impossible to change their view of me.

When the host finished introducing me, he asked, "Is there anything that you have to say?"

The way that he said this almost seemed like there was a deeper meaning to his words, but I just said with a sigh, "Let's just get this over with."

There were some people that reacted positively to this, but it also seemed that many people reacted negatively to this. They thought that I was being too arrogant for what I had done.

I wasn't bothered by this at all, but for some reason, it seemed that Tammy was bothered on my behalf.

In the end, the judge came forward and started the fight…or rather before he started the fight, he looked at us and said, "Can you just give them a proper fight?"

Neither of us said a single thing in response to this.

This just made the judge give a sigh like he had already given up before saying, "Alright, get ready to fight then…" Then under his breath, he said, "Even if you don't even want to."

Tammy looked at me and I looked at her.

There was a part of me that wanted to give up, but there was also a part of me that wanted to finish the mission that Lilith had given me last night.

That moment of hesitation was all that Tammy needed to get the jump on me.

As soon as the judge's hand came down, she said, "I forfeit."

The judge didn't seem to react at all when he heard this as he just looked at her with a gaze like he had already expected this. Then he turned to look at me, as if he was waiting to see how I reacted.

I hesitated for a moment which was why I was slower, but I also said, "I forfeit."

The judge looked at me with a bitter smile.

It was almost as if he was saying, "Why are you doing this to me?"

But it wasn't as if he could say anything at this point since both of us had forfeited.

Though Tammy had forfeited first, so by the rules…I was the one that won.

It was just that no one would be satisfied if things ended like this.

As expected…

The crowd suddenly started jeering us, which was what led to the scene of them shouting at us to start fighting.

However, neither Tammy nor I looked like we were planning to do anything like that.

The judge just looked at the two of us for a bit before saying, "I'm not getting involved in this, you decide who loses and I'll make the call."

He was actually shirking on his job as the judge and just leaving it to us!

Tammy narrowed her eyes to look at me before saying, "Why are you forfeiting?"

I just looked at her and asked back without answering, "Why are you forfeiting?"

She looked at me and said, "I have my own reason to forfeit, so just take the victory. Isn't it a good thing for you to win this tournament?"

I shook my head and said, "I have my own reason not to win either. So why don't you just accept the victory instead?"

Tammy knitted her brows before stepping forward and saying, "No, you have to win. That is what needs to happen for all of us."

I was confused when I heard her say this, but I still shook my head and said, "No, I don't want to win."

Tammy leaned in and suddenly said, "If you don't accept the victory, I'll announce to the world that we're together."

I was shocked to hear her say this.

I looked at her with a very strange look before saying, "Why would you do that?"

She just calmly said, "It's a threat."

I didn't know how serious she was about this, but I knew what the consequences of this were. So even if there was a slight chance that she would do something like this…I really couldn't risk it…

So I said with a sigh, "Fine…you win. Do what you want."

Tammy revealed a smile, though a trace of disappointment appeared in her eyes as well as she said, "I never thought that you would be so against being with me. It really hurts, you know?"

I quickly explained, "That's not what I meant, it's just that…"

Tammy shook her head as she said, "There's no need to explain, I understand your situation. But just know that I will make you fall for me one day."

With that confident smile, she walked away and went over to the judge to say, "I'm forfeiting."

The judge looked at me as if he was confirming this and I just gave a nod to show that it was the case.

With that, the finals of this tournament had been settled.
