Just before the raffle begins. Joseph, the highest guest invited by the royal castle, was in a private guest seat located on the top floor. It is another private room from the Knights' Nell, and now there is only one in this room with Joseph's breath hanging.

"Well, a raffle is something I used to say. I'm guessing you've done a good job of finishing up some of your battles?

Joseph's questioning opponent is Hao, president of this Ardelheit School of Magic. On the face of it, as dean, I greeted the Chancellor of Magic Guidance, but the truth is that he was taking his feet for a report that had been meticulously worked.

"Ha. As usual, tournaments are alternately divided into two blocks in order of grades so that the strength is not biased, in which the combination by whale pull is determined. Contrary to this principle, there was a risk of some involvement from the Derris side, so even if we manipulate it, we keep it in its natural form."

"If it's true, I'd like to hit Harna and Chinatsu directly at the beginning."

"They are provisionally seventeenth-place each other, so that will be difficult. At least, Captain Nell, who is invited to this graduation festival every year, will be familiar with this principle..."

By the way, Nell, who faces this graduation festival every year, has never cared about that principle. In an attempt to be taken into account so that strength was not biased, for Nell, the upper and lower ranks were only the dorsal comparisons of the dongles, because no great difference could be found. However, Derris was right to make the Dean's decision as he has well researched the area as well.

"Good, I know. Keep talking about what's going on."

"First of all, as long as Master Wheelel keeps winning in due course, we won't hit them until the semifinals. Until then, the goal is to keep the top performers in our school and give them fatigue."

"That's a measure of rest. As far as the previous game goes, Harna, who continued to work out under Derris, is getting stronger by the unusual. You knocked down the fallen Matchett family's stash so he could twist the baby's hand. Of course, so are the chinats robbed by Nell. Apparently, the story of Toko losing was true..."

"Toco, is it?

"... here's the story. So, then?

"The tournament will be competing for a maximum of four rounds. So I thought it would be Stone specifically to hit the top performers such as Nebul, Kara and Dry. The question will be Harna or Chinatsu, who to hit on that..."

"Even if Wheelel cleans up on one side, there's a chance he'll win the finals from the other block... I want to take certainty. At worst, if Wheelel wins, the Demon King's Crusader's advantage leans this way. Harna goes to Wheeler and the opposite block, exhausting both and letting Wheeler discuss both. Hit the superior equally."

"Ha ha, just like you said"

As a result, whale pulling will be carried out at the raffle, and a predetermined tournament table will be determined. To whom does the Goddess of Victory smile...

"Master, I've pulled a whale at the raffle!

At the end of the raffle on stage, Yuna returns to Delis' waiting guest seat. Although several times along the way, people from the country and the heavy towns of the industry were about to call out to them, no one was able to follow Yuna's rush out speed, and Yuna didn't notice the incident itself, so nothing seemed to happen.

"Ooh, so how'd it go?

"It's a different block from Chinatsu. Even if you hit it, it's the final!

"Hmm. Did you follow the minimum rules?"

"What is it?

"No, we're talking over here"

…… I don't know, but the form on the decided tournament table will be this!

Delis receives one sheet of paper from Yuna, about A4 size, and looks around at it all without diffusion. Firstly, the most important places are Yuna and Chinatsu, and secondly, the tentative chief, Wheelel.

"Is Thousand Natsu and Wheeler the opposite block to Hull"

"Yeah, unfortunately..."

"Not at all. I don't mind being crushed in the semifinals. Instead, the grade even set is the block on this side. Let me make the most of it."

"Mr. Neble, you're Mr. Dry! I'm looking forward to it now!

The fact that Wheeler is on the block on the side where Chinatsu was placed means that a grader will be placed on Yona's side who will be second, fourth and even-numbered. As far as the tournament table is concerned, it was structured to match all of them if they won properly. Of course, it's because Dean Hao set it up like that. but when Delis hit a prey that wasn't off, Yuna was happy to fight a strong man.

"Ah, but the opponent of the first battle is Nocto Noland, the sixth best grader, a regional nobleman... not out of the picture overall, but an indescribably subtle opponent..."

"Really? If you're sixth, you're top of the list, and you feel strong?

"Hal, you... tell me to think about it. This year's college graduates are called the Golden Generation, but what they're looking at is an extension of the student level, right? Normally, at level two, it's a level three job that begins to go out into society and work. Think of it as a typical cannon from last year or about the moono beaten by it. And what do you expect from a hairy bunch of guys?

"Uh, yeah, um. Hmm...?

You guessed at something, Yuna, and you're going to say it. But Derris' explanation doesn't stop.

"It's more than the fifth place Therese, and it's finally dotted. Ning Lo, Therese may be the number one expected stock for my immediate workout. If it comes to two fights, students around there will be opponents, and the first fight is easy. If this is the case, the kid who fought Hull in the qualifying round is still better..."

"Well, Master... there's a customer behind you..."

"Ah?"

Looking at Yuna pointing behind Derris with a bitter laugh, Derris looks back at you. There stood one boy floating blue muscles with his mouth tipped and trembling.

"Yes, I don't think you're coming to greet me in WW1, and if you let me take a walk myself, you'll tell me a lot of things, won't you? Is this someone you know, Harna Katsuragi?

"... do you know this boy, Hal?

"No, I don't know him, but probably..."

"- We're going to play a game with her in Game One, it's Nocturnal Noland! Numerous disrespects earlier, let's have them corrected!

Bishy momentum. Delis pointing his finger at the tip of his nose.

"More than that, would you like me to apologize for coming into the guest room without permission? Or should I stick it out to the operation?

"Honestly, I'm presenting my student ID properly, and I'm getting permission! Hey, I just forgot my knock!

Derris is convinced at this point. I knew you weren't going to be able to expect World War 1.

"I don't know who it is, but it's not the face you see at dinner or prom, is it? It's good evidence that you don't know me well!

"Well, I'm hoping to go to such a troublesome place from here. Besides, I know you very well, don't I? As I said earlier, of the local aristocracy-"

"- I'm not a local nobleman! It's just kind of in a mountain place! I have succeeded my father and have encouraged him to study at the Academy in order to become a proud and fine lord! You can't insult me and my Noland family!

"… then can you show that strength in a match? If we can beat Hull, we apologize for our sincerity."

"Funny, that would be good! You're gonna have to do everything you can for the next game! This is a duel that bets pride!

Closed the door to Batan and Daiguo, and Nocto left the main guest room.

"Master, aren't you being a little too mean? You knew he was here from the beginning, didn't you?

"It's bad for him to get emotional about that extent. That's how I get out into the social world a lot...... you look like a standard aristocrat for your age, in a good or a bad way. Hal, I hear you're doing your best, okay?

"That game was all we had earlier, wasn't it? You will survive critically while wandering through life and death - so that, I defeated the rules with all my might!

"Oh well..."

Derris pitied Nocto, just a little.
