"Thank you for joining us at the Great Festival of the Four Heavens Temple. As soon as possible, we'll give you an overview of the next steps and the festival."

When the humans of the host Shitian Temple began explaining, the participants listened to its contents by squeezing their expressions into each of them.

Yuto also turns forward and asks for an explanation. I heard a lot about it, but since there was an explanation on the day about how to be chosen as Miho's son-in-law, Yuto didn't hear how to choose it either.

"As you all know, Shitian Temple wants to invite the stronger, the better. So the selection of this entrance festival is simple. We are going to fight each other and show our excellence."

That's what I've been hearing so far in advance. The other entrants are listening quietly.

"But this time, there are about a hundred participants. I appreciate the fact that so many of you have come, but the festival period has been a week, so I simply can't afford the time in the tournament. So, the first battle will be divided into six to seven members of sixteen groups to conduct the Battle Royal format."

The venue was scrambled.

Yu Man narrowed his eyes, although it was what he had imagined.

In the case of Battle Royals, it is difficult to fight because depending on their abilities, they are not good at it, and there are also people who may come out after each other's fishermen's interests.

"So the sixteen who won each group will play the final tournament, and the eventual winner will be asked to confront Miho Shitenji. And one person who has been recognized for his power will be welcomed into the Four Heavens Temple."

"What!?

"Do you even relate to Miss Miho at the end!?

"I didn't expect you to fight what you would do to your own wife... is this the Four Heavens Temple"

The explanation was completed and a surprise was raised by the participants as well.

"Now, as soon as possible, the lottery has already been done here. Gentlemen, are you ready?

……

"Preparation... no way"

"You're starting now!?

A huge screen is brought down from the second floor of the mansion in front.

There was a grouped name listed there.

Yuto didn't think it was going to start any time soon either, so I was surprised to check the screen and found my name displayed in group 16.

"I will ask you to break up with this group. I will now hand out a badge with the number of each group, so please come forward and take it. The battle venue is on the west side of this Four Ten Temples property. We are dividing that into 16 battle zones. We'll give you a map with your badge, so head to your battle venue at the same time you receive your badge"

On the western side of the vast grounds of the Four Ten Temples family, there were natural forests and well-maintained roads that seemed to make the place a Battle Royal venue.

Participants can be wolfish in a less awkward way, but the explainers of the Four Heavens Temple move on faintly.

"The terms of this win out will take more badges away from others and will be those who bring them back. The time limit is seven o'clock today night. Whoever had the most badges in that time will be the winner. In addition, if there are more than one acquirer of the highest number of badges as of 7 o'clock end time, all humans in that group will be disqualified. The start will start from the moment you receive your badge and enter your battle zone. Now, ladies and gentlemen, come and get your badges."

……

When the explanation was over and a moment of silence arose for participants who understood the rules, they all arrived to receive their badges in unison.

Everyone tried to receive a badge and a map first, and the recipient immediately disappeared from the spot.

(Wow, Eggs)

This was Yuto's sentiment after hearing the explanation.

Now I can see why the participants are going to pick up their badges and maps first.

That's because it's definitely advantageous to be in the combat zone first.

You should look at the battle place first, even for a short time, and depending on your type of abilities, you can also take the tactic of ambushing now.

Arriving first on a determined battlefield is of great benefit.

Yu Man sighed, thinking of Zhu Yan's face, who would have set this rule.

(Battle Royal is the explanation that... to shorten the time, but I guess not. He also said that the history of the Four Heavens Temple is the history of battle. I guess that means we don't need people who are just capable)

Battle Royals are often driven by their luck in winning and losing.

Also, the battle becomes multilateral, so it's just not a good thing if you're strong. Not to mention the need for drivers and sharp tactical eyes if those with good strength are thrown into each other on the spot.

This requires strength in action.

Not to mention that even if we win, it will be a tournament fight between those who win the group. Maybe we can leave some leeway here, too, we have to think about it.

(But that's not a bad idea. If those who are thinking of doing evil to the Four Heavens Temple, this would make room a lot less, wouldn't it? If you're thinking that much, you're the one who can't eat it)

With that in mind, Yuto lined up at the rear of the line to receive the badge.

Then the faces that were also rearmost and lined up beside the eunuch came into the eyes of the eunuch.

"Wow, we're all motivated, we need to watch out for the ambushes of the guys who went in first when we got into the battle zone!

……

Yuto looked at the blonde haired boy, who was grinning beside himself, and looked at him.

"Hmm...... that's what everyone thinks, isn't it? Didn't you realize that, too?

The boy is pulling a long sword with the pattern chained from his waist.

Earlier, Yuto was the boy who caught his eye when he checked his surroundings.

"Ah... no"

"Haha, you don't have to be so vigilant, I'm not your group. Well, I know how you feel, but hey. Are we talking about each other, the final tournament? I hope to see you there."

Yuto is also bewildered by a strangely bright tone and a tone without tension, but if you think about it, he's just a participant in this festival, not an enemy.

"Right, I'll try my best"

"My name is Julian Knight. Looks old, and we'll talk about it later when we win."

"I'm Don Du Yu Man. Yes, nice to meet you."

Julian has reached out, so Yuto shakes his hand back.

The two stayed in line and received each other's badges.

Then Julian raises his hand gently to Yuto.

"No one in our group could have noticed more. Don't worry, bye!

"... Huh?

When Julian said so, he moved with his back to Yuto.

……

Yuto stares at the boy's back, who is offering his long sword from his waist.

(... Speaking of which, how did that Julian know my group was different from himself?

Yu Man frowned and strained his mind as he headed to his venue.

(... Was I worthy? You might have assumed too much that you weren't supposed to be alarmed about me when it came to rank)

Yuto switched his feelings to battle mode and figured out how to fight.

In one of the main mansions of the Four Ten Temples family, Zhu Yan sat with Yicheng, the Lord of Four Ten Ten Temples, and Miho, the lead actor in this one, as well as Dafeng, both Lord of Divine Front.

Thirty tatami is an impromptu organizer venue created in the Japanese room. There were gatherings of the Four Heavenly Temples and their branches, the Great Peaks, and the Heavy Towns of Shinto.

"Here we go, Master Zhuyin"

"Yes, then let's watch the game. Yeah... the monitor is going well."

When Ming Liang received the report, Zhu Yan responded to his superior mood.

Small cameras are installed in all combat areas so that each battle situation can be ascertained.

"Uh... Yu Man, your group was sixteen, right?

"Yes."

"Oh, exciting wow. See, here you all are, for easy viewing. How long have you been unfaithful? So many candidates for my daughter's son-in-law, huh?

"... Hmm. It's too early for Miho... you."

"You're already... unbelievable."

When Zhu Yin sighed, both the Great Peak, Divine Lord, stopped by Zhu Yin.

The head of the Great Peak family, the head of the Great Peak Early Cloud and the head of the Shinto family, Shinto Left Horse Nosuke, look at each other and the Early Cloud is ahead of them.

"Did Master Zhu Yan say Don Du Yu Ren was you?"

"Yes, the most powerful candidate."

"But... from what I've heard, the rank is D and... I don't know how much Zhuyin has seen you...... We think and work for the Four Heavens Temple for real. You can't see certain people in the eye."

"Hehe, I know. Is that why you hosted the Inn Festival? Now you know you can't cheat on anything, right?

"Yes...... sure, but it is"

"Besides, I'm not the only one who likes it. Hey, Miho."

"Hey! Mother, I didn't say a word of that."

"But you admit it, don't you? Yuren, your strength."

"Well, that's... yeah,"

When Miho reluctantly admits, the Great Peak and the humans in front of God widen their eyes at what Miho says and does.

Naturally, the Great Peak, the humans in front of God, know Miho from a very young age.

I knew the talent and strength well, and for that reason Miho's choice of spouse was heartbreaking.

That is because Miho is a genius who also recognizes himself in the Four Heavens Temple.

Also, Miho's temper was accompanied by the difficulty of finding someone worthy of Miho.

Even if this one makes a candidate, Miho's talent won't match any candidate.

That was also due to the failure of the pageant we had prepared so many times before, the Great Peak, the Heavy Town of God, had haunted our heads.

The Miho.

I made a statement that recognized the other person.

The deliberate Great Peaks and Shinto humans look at each other, but regain a sober look.

Left Horse Nosuke touches his stored white beard, while turning to Miho, he speaks to Zhu Yan.

"Miho is also about your age. Sometimes you'll allow yourself to be distracted by someone who's inferior to you. But... again, in Rank D..."

"Master Zuo Ma...! I can't forgive you! Just be stronger than me when it comes to fighting."

"Ha!? How dare you, Miho?"

"Huh? So... stronger than me..."

"No way! That's... No, Miho, you can't lie like that to this grandfather, can you? Just because I'm a little in love doesn't mean anything to lift a man"

"Already! That's why I'm telling you I'm not in love, Grandpa Sama! And I can't believe I'm lying..."

"Look, here we go. Why don't we just measure our strength with this? Watch group 16."

When Zhu Yan said so, Dafeng and Kanzaki humans also focused their gaze on the monitor with a lot of skepticism and interest.
