"How could a small flame compete with the bright moon?"

When Ōyama-kun said these words, all the Japanese people surrounding him immediately voiced their agreement.

"That's right. Your tiny pearl dares to shine? The Koi Fish is king – no other ornamental fish can compare."

"The championship belongs to our Japan!"

"Nonsense!" the old man by Chu Xian's booth exclaimed, gesturing angrily.

Most of the people in the crowd felt that Saikewei's words were very arrogant, but nobody else spoke out. In the end, what they said wasn't wrong – the quality, beauty, and historical prices of the Koi Fish outmatched the other ornamental fish in every case. The high status of the Koi had been built up by many past examples, and all of this contributed to the glory and pride of Saikewei.

"Hehe." Chu Xian chuckled coldly, unhappy with Saikewei's arrogance. "The results still aren't clear. You aren't the champion yet."
