I'll become a villain in my next life

Chapter 71: The Pain Of Losing

[Collisium, Balconies]

Upon sensing Alda's formidable aura, it left people to be astonished and surprised by the sudden aura outburst

His aura was so huge that it is only understandable since his an S-rank adventurer, plus all of this pressure was concentrated on a single opponent who wasn't even A-rank

All the spectating royalties gasp in surprise as they saw these scene, some single women noble to commoner felt a little attracted to Alda's intimidating presence

They begun to assess Alda's worth, among all of them the King Emperor Ergo, Duke Agra, and Marquez Lucio were the most overjoyed for they already know who won this first match

"He really used it!" Muttered Hibiki as he looked down from the balcony

"Well we all know he likes to show off" commented Mia

Even the Hero's party was a bit surprised by Alda's action which rendered both Luke and Lily to be speechless

As for Kaido's group many of them felt pressured from Alda's aura except for Kaido, Jack, and Anna who are accustomed to feeling this kind of pressure

"How can his suppression be so strong? At this rate Rebecca will be outdone" stated Okou

When they heard this they all wore grim faces as they accepted the result

"It's over... Rebecca has no way to turn the tables" muttered Princess Ingrid

As for Kaido himself he glanced over at the pressured Rebecca and observed her next move

****************
[Arena]

As the person who is being targeted by this intense pressure, cold sweat begun to trickle down Rebecca's face

She can't even move a single muscle in her body to stand up, her legs turned jelly the moment the pressure was poured into her and with that her complexion became paler as her eyes begun to wriggle around as one emotion pour up inside her mind and heart and that is fear

Seeing Rebecca's current pitiful state Alda begun to walked over near her but this action only made Rebecca feel the fear even intensifier than before

With Alda's each step she herself would slowly try to crawl back but suddenly she stopped her movement when she realised that if she gives up then everything that made her happy now would be gone

Bearing that in mind she slowly stood up and raise her sword as she trembles and sweats covering her body

"What's the point of all this if she cowers now?" She thought as she gathers her wits

Everyone was surprised by her actions which made them admire her a little bit, even Kaido was surprised... For a moment he thought that Rebecca would give up at that point

And with her action it made Kaido finalize the actions his going to take

Upon seeing this Alda's lips curled upwards as he smiled

"I'm amazed... But I'm sorry I have to finish this here" said Alda as he gaze at Rebecca who is at her wits end

As he said that he disappeared and instantly appeared beside Rebecca in which it totally caught the latter off guard

With a single press on her shoulder her body collapsed to the ground as all energy left her body

After that Alda's pressure vanished as if it wasn't there at the first place and this made everyone fell silent for a moment

After few seconds the crowd begun to cheer for Alda's name announcing his victory over Rebecca

Upon noticing that she lost Rebecca wasn't able to hold on any longer as she cried on the spot, she wasn't expecting to lose but since she was defeated then she would be taken away from the place that she calls home

When Rebecca cried Kaido's group also saddened for Rebecca for they know her circumstances

With that Kaido stood up and held Sui who is saddened for Rebecca to princess Ingrid

"Stay! I've got something to do" ordered Kaido

Hearing him Sui nodded silently as she gazed at the crying Rebecca below

***************
After the first match a break for ten minutes was issued before continuing to the second match

During this time Kaido is strolling around he looks for Rebecca inside the collisium hallway

When he was about to turn to a corner he heard Marquez Lucio's voice and when he peeked he saw Marquez Lucio together which seemed to be his wife talking to Rebecca

Seeing this Kaido approached her to support Rebecca

"You lost the match... So you know what you have to do" stated Marquez Lucio

When Rebecca heard this she involuntarily shook a little

Seeing that Rebecca was a little bit hesitant, Marquez Lucio's wife spoke up

"Wake up Rebecca! You don't belong to the world of commoner's... If only you weren't my husband's daughter then I wouldn't have come her and see you... Don't you feel ashamed?" Said Marquez Lucio's wife arrogantly

"Don't you care about your mother? Even if she was my husband's mistress I still have her face... So you better learn how to be grateful for my generosity" she added

"Don't disappoint me" stated Marquez Lucio

With their word that weight a lot it made Rebecca's stern behavior waver a little but when they mentioned her mother she immediately felt weak

When she was about to reply to their words Kaido shows up saying to both Marquez Lucio and his wife with a stern face

"Can't she decide for herself? Parents are only there to guide their children but never ever has the power to choose for them... Cause if they do then she would not be different than a mere puppet" said Kaido

Marquez Lucio was a bit stunned to see Kaido appear but Rebecca eyes shone in surprise as he gaze at Kaido

"He got my back" that is what Rebecca thought as she heard Kaido's voice, for some reason she felt assured everytime he steps up so she always admire his boldness sometimes

But at that moment she noticed that the Marquez wife suddenly walked over Kaido approaching him and when she got near him she instantly slapped Kaido's face which stunned Kaido himself

Rebecca gasp in surprise when she saw that the Marquez wife slapped Kaido in the face while for Marquez Lucio he shows a disgusted expression as he eyed Kaido as if he's seeing a fool

"Who gave you the right to speak up? Commoner should always be commoner they have no say in a talk with a noble" said Marquez wife as she glared at Kaido
