Honestly, it's refreshing to have the tournament arc end so quickly. Or, at least the story's focus on the tournament matches. Not that I dislike tournament arcs: YuYu Hakusho and History's Stongest Disciple Kenichi had fantastic tournament arcs, and so do many others.
But Al's tournament ending here is a breath of fresh air, and it's in-line with how we've seen him develop, as well as the more grounded nature of this manga.
I don't think the fiancée character is seeing Al in a romantic light... more like happy that Al didn't underestimate and take it easy on her? Like the fight was refreshing for her.
But, I'm generally on team childhood friends, so I am biased.
i feel it's refreshing that the MC isn't a participant.
Like ever time a tournament arc appears in any other story, the MC got to be in it and got to be a winner. Oh and the MC is treated like the underdog and then OMG he's not!... those types of arcs are so lame. This is quite cool. It builts up the supporting characters.
