Tenge was guided to a small storage room in the basement of the arena.
Apparently, each athlete will now be given a private room at the tournament, where they will be briefed on the final qualifiers. Normally, people gather in large rooms or gather in one place in the hotel hall to hear about the qualifiers, so this year it is a slightly different process.
Tenji, who was told by the guide to "Please wait while the person in charge explains it in turn," looked back at the book of magic with a cookie and instant tea in the waiting room.
"There are only 4 levels left until the restriction release of the (·) compensation (·) invoice (·) state (·)." I wanted to get rid of this condition anomaly by tomorrow's qualifier, but I still didn't have enough time. "
For a period of less than a year.
Tenji has trained in the zero-grade dungeon with zero-grade Explorer Leon and Orbraka. As a student, I have desperately learned the basic skills as an explorer that were not enough, important judgment skills in living as a professional, and how to handle unusually unbalanced physical abilities.
That's how Tenge grew up as a single explorer compared to when he was in Majorca.
A new red demon, the Blue Demon's Hell Beast, was added.
In addition, it was different from the Red Ghost and the Blue Ghost -- a new kind of Hell Beast [Spirit Seed] that overturned the flow of the past could be summoned.
The level has risen fourfold in just under a year.
A new skill called "The Demonic Guardian" was also available, expanding the battle range.
But...
Tenji hadn't finished paying the "price" yet.

There were several effects on the tenge due to the price.
One is the torture of hell that came shortly after the price.
For about ten days, Tenji continued to be roasted by the fire of hell from within his body, wandering through the abyss of death. Once in a while, when I remembered the pain of that day, for Tenji, who was so panicked, it was a past that was engraved deep in his memory.
The second was a status abnormality related to status [Debuff].
This seems to be acting on the nature of the vocation itself, and the flame demon told Tenji that this restriction will not be lifted until he reaches level 15.
In addition, due to the temporary seal of the "value added" added by the number of Summon Beasts, almost all of the status parameters of the tenge are contaminated by the state abnormality that is fixed at "1,1000". In addition, due to the state abnormality to which the negative correction value of the experience value acquisition is added, only four levels could be raised in just under one year.
And the heaviest limit.
That was because the number of summons for the Hell Beast was severely limited.
――――――――――――――――
[Hell Realm]
Red Ghost: 20,000/20,000
Green Ghost: 20,000/20,000
Spiritual Species: 20,000/20,000
――――――――――――――――
There is one mass of space that is consumed to serve a five-grade Hell Beast.
There are two masses in the realm that are consumed to serve a fourth-grade Hell Beast.
Four masses of space are consumed to serve a third-grade Hell Beast.
Originally, I could summon a Hell Beast close to the army, but I was only able to summon a few Tenji. To be precise, I could only summon a total of 16 Hell Beasts in Tenge.
That said, if you look at the status alone, Tenji obviously already has the level of first-class Explorer. If the First Class Explorer has a status, it's about 7,000.
Suddenly, Tenji looks at the black rubber-like accessory wrapped around her left arm.
It is a rare item from a dungeon with seven purple gemstones embedded in a band about five centimeters wide like silicone.
Yeah, it looks like it's working normally.
The official name of the zero-grade item is "Ziyang Hanabi".
Orbraka said, "I don't know the details, but this is a hidden item that can only exert about half its power for a few seconds when it touches the body.... sometimes threw it at the enemy and used it." To properly throw a rare item that would cost hundreds of millions of yen if it were sold would be like the famous Obraca as an item collector even if you look around the world.
Besides, you can give people something as valuable as this, just like Orbraka. Even though it was just under a year old, Tenji knew that Orbracha was reluctant to underestimate the value of the item. As a matter of fact, he consumes national treasures like hot water.
"So as not to injure you." Looks like Mr. Orbraka. "
Obraca gave this to Tenji for a reason.
When Tenji couldn't control his power at the tournament, he had his own concerns about not injuring other participants as much as he could.
Even though the current tenge limits the added value, even the vegetative state can handle the power to go above the first class Explorer. In such a state, if you want to attack the participant without restraint, there is a good chance that the injury will not be overcome.
The premise of this tournament is that it is "student-level", so there are sections that are allowed.
To be honest, the current tenge is not good enough for the student level.
It is most right to describe him as a top professional.
That's why Orbraka gave this item to Tenge.
"But... now I can really challenge this tournament." After all, if you want to join the Seeker Olympia, you can rely not only on your vocation, but also on my efforts. I want you to see the qualities I've developed as an Explorer over the past year and a half. Then you'll be a great explorer. "
Tenji squeezes his fist as if he wants someone to do it.
† † †
Kon, kon.
The door of the cabin was knocked on as the cookies in the cabin were circled like squirrels. Tenji, who was losing his mind, swallowed the cookie vigorously and inadvertently clogged his trachea.
(Ngh!? It's jammed!?)
A man's voice was heard through the door as he desperately slapped his chest.
"I've come to explain the final qualifiers. May I come in?"
…………
Amagi-san? Are you out of town?
"...... noo"
Tenji-kun!?
The door was opened with great force.
The person who came in in a hurried hurry to hear the painful reply was amazingly well gathered and seemed very kind.
What entered his eyes was a stupid figure of tenji who drank the water painfully and shrunk like a squirrel with tears in his eyes. When he saw it, he stroked his chest with relief.
"Good, I was really surprised." I thought something might have happened. Anyway... what happened? "
Seeing his face gently rubbing Tenji's back in pain, Tenji opened her eyes wide in amazement. It was like I was struck by a ghost.
"Ugh... oh, thank you"
Ah, healed? Good, good.
He finally smiled gently at Tenji, who had finally gotten over the blockage, and seemed to really enjoy the reunion. And it infiltrates my face with the feeling of doing a little.
Tenji opened his mouth wide, looking at his face. He began to speak without worrying about such tenge.
"Nevertheless, I was really surprised when Tenji-kun's name appeared in the athlete section." I'm still a newcomer to the association, but I was happy to run for this explanatory role. "
"Um... it's Kusatsu-san, isn't it?"
"Yeah, that's right. It's been a long time. It's been... a year and a half since the Chariot entrance exam was launched. I've been wondering what to say first after I met you, but--"
Kusatsu-go Taiga, who came as an interpreter from the association, will stay for a while.
And I turned my smile to Tenji, who seemed really happy from the bottom of my heart.
"I've been seriously thinking about the future since then." After all, I couldn't forget the day that Suie-kun, Tachibana-san, and Tenji-kun worked together. That's why I decided to do my best to support the Explorer. "
