A Misunderstood Mentor

Twenty-eight stories, Barbaroy's ploy.

"Now let's start the Dawu Guild Main Battle Tournament Draw!

A host-like woman screams with a microphone next to the arena.

A great deal of cheer arose from the spectators surrounding the arena.

We have fifteen contestants lined up in front of the arena.

Only one person there, only Alice, isn't showing up.

Behind it was a board of huge tournament tables, beside which was placed an iron lottery box with a hole in the top.

"One more person has arrived late, so I will draw lots on his behalf!

Will Alice really come here?

With that in mind, Chairman Barbaroy standing next to me looks at my face and laughs niggardly.

I still have the hidden balls to keep, is that word I said when I left, after all, about Alice?

"Let's start with Chairman Barbaroy, ranked zero (zero)."

Chairman Barbaroy, with a creepy grin, got his hands inside the lottery box and removed the balls marked "1B" from it.

"Chairman Barbaroy, Match I B"

The first frame of the tournament table, on its right, is written the name of Barbaroy.

"Next, ranked number one, Takumi, go ahead"

I walked to the front of the lottery box and took the balls out of it.

"Ha, Master Takumi, game one a!

Out of the audience, I got a big cheer.

"This is a huge turbulence! The Guild Chairman and Ranked # 1 match has been decided since the first match!

The stuck chairman's grin makes for an even more fish-filled grin.

"This raffle, that's some crazy shit, Takun"

"Well, fine. Doesn't matter who they are."

There's not a single opponent in here I can beat.

It doesn't matter what the Alliance is up to.

My purpose is not to win.

The draw then proceeded steadily and everything on the tournament table was filled.

Match 1

The most powerful "takumi" in the universe

Chairman "Barbaroy Southa"

Match 2

Immortal King "Dogma"

Space use "Linden Lindbergh"

Match 3

Superhunter "Dagan"

Beastman King "Miakis"

Match 4

Dark King "Azatos"

Semi-machine "makina"

Match 5

Divine Down "Leia"

Hidden "Yor"

Match 6

Silent Shield "Rick"

Brave "End"

Game 7

Black Dragon "Chloe"

Kamila, the bloodsucking king.

Match 8

King Goblin "Jaslak"

Humanity's strongest "Alice"

Me and Alice's names were written at the far end of the tournament table.

I don't think that's possible, but if we're going to fight Alice, we're going to have to win until the finals.

"Now, let's start the first game of World War I! Dear Chairman Barbaroy, Takumi, welcome to the arena!

My ears hurt when I cheer like rage.

As always, Chairman Barbaroy doesn't break his grin, he looks at me, he looks at me.

The old man Nurhachi said with his least willing opponent to fight.

Use all means to surprise them.

Make yourself look weak, alarmed, kill signs, and strain traps. That's what I was hearing.

A month after the battle at the Great Wu Guild was decided, I'm sure Chairman Barbaroy will have prepared a trap that will be a must win.

But if it's going to be used by me, it's more convenient.

Even if I don't use that, I lose easily, making it easier for the rest of us to win the other way around.

"Whoa, whoa, let's get started."

Confront Chairman Barbaroy in the center of the arena.

It all started when this old man mistake me for the Demon King.

"Can I ask you one thing?

I am certain.

This is just a confirmation.

"You weren't the one who doubted me as the Demon King, were you?

For a moment, just for a moment, I didn't miss Chairman Barbaroy's smile breaking down.

Again, right? Confidence further solidifies.

"If you beat me, I'll answer you."

"No, that's enough, I got it all"

The killing of Chairman Barbaroy swells with a laugh.

In the unusual air, a bronze rumble announcing the start of the match.

"Dawu Guild, Game One, Get Started!!

"Wow, wow!

Chairman Barbaroy suddenly exploded his power as the cheer and copper noise kept ringing.

Barbaroy chairman, whose body swelled many times and became Mukimuki's macho, seemingly an old man, grips his fist and shakes it up.

Only at that moment when you can be sure to defeat your opponent will you explode to power and stop with a single blow. Nurhachi said that was the way Barbaroy fought.

That means now.

"Tak!

"Yeah, I can't. inevitable."

My legs were dull and I couldn't move.

I asked for the rest, I believe you, Four Divine Pillars.

Pray in your heart.

I thought it was blown away with the roar of "dong,"

But Chairman Barbaroy's fist pierces his own foot, not towards me.

The stone ground was cracked and its fists were buried to the wrist.

"Sealed Demon Secret Ceremony, Dark (Dark) Absorption Formation (Drain Circle) Huh!

The black magic formation spreads around Chairman Barbaroy's pierced arms, like the one written with a brush on the arena.

Dark magic!

The scream of the Devil's Sword Karna echoes on my head.

Same system as the Special Attack used by Karna.

"Oh yeah. This technique. You can use it without preparation."

After all, were you setting something up beforehand?

The circular magic formation, which swept wide apart, covers the entire arena.

There's no way I can escape, I just stand on top of that magic formation.

"Ha, ha, that's it."

Chairman Barbaroy's body swollen to the mukimuki is thinning and breathing on his shoulders as the balloon squeezes.

Still, there was a grin on that face that looked painful.

"A month after the battle, I asked the Great Martial Society to join you, all in order to use this technique."

From the magic formation at your feet, I feel some unusual signs.

I don't have to ask that it's a hell of a move.

"A month to set up this maneuver in the arena. I used all my power to activate it."

"Isn't it against the rules to set up a surgical ceremony in advance?

See the pillars of the White Tiger that judge the irregularities.

Not responding at all. Are you okay, Four Divine Columns?

"Backgammon. An arena was set up after the operation was set up. It's not unconventional to use something from the beginning."

"... damn it"

I know very well that Nurbee said he didn't want to fight.

Dirty. Twitchy, super dirty.

"It doesn't matter how much power the Lord has anymore. Whatever power is, all power is sucked up by this magic formation."

I see, is it the same thing as Karna's ability to suck away the power she has?

No, if you were to suck the power out of those in the entire magic formation, it would be something like Karna's superior compatibility.

"It's time for the curtain. Takumi, the Demon King."

Bluff, and countless black arms stretch out of the magic formation.

Those arms wrap around my legs one after the other, filling my lower body.

I guess I would lose all my powers with this if I were to.

But I didn't have that kind of power.

Black-armed, smug, was obviously bewildered with a grasp.

"Good," he said.

After I move my leg a little, the polo and the grabbed arm go away.

I walked normally over the magic formation and stood in front of Chairman Barbaroy.

Still looking up at me with my arm stuck to the ground.

My eyes were dotted.

"Then, stupid. Even God and the Demon King can't escape this ritual, absolutely invincible, created over my lifetime, with the best, secret..."

Damn. I guess the powerful would have worked, but it's an attack that doesn't make any sense to me.

"Who the hell is your Lord! They say they are beyond God or the Demon King!?

Stunning Chairman Barbaroy.

Karna's voice echoes in my head.

"Takun, you always say that"

Keep your face close to Chairman Barbaroy's ear, I said.

"You got it. Exactly."

Chairman Barbaroy collapsed and the first round marked the end.
