Legend

"Wow... you're amazing"

With countless stirrings echoing, Fuji can hear Ray's ears like that.

When I turned my gaze towards you, Veicul was looking around me just saying that I was heartily impressed there.

I guess it would be very noticeable if you imitated that usually, but now there are a lot of other people who imitate the same.

As a result, it was almost inconspicuous.

Most of all, those watching from the guest seats… may be noticeably visible in the eyes of the noble audience, especially those who will be in the guest seats.

Yes, the Rays are currently present on the stage in the center of the arena.

There's a crowd of main players who won the 20 blocks of qualifying.

(The increase in the number of people to about 100 instead of about 60 is probably the guy with the patronage of nobility or something. A lot of guys don't recognize each other)

It was Ray whining on the inside, but of course I wasn't watching all the qualifying.

But still, if you're someone who watches a game and sees it at first glance and you know you're strong, there's nothing you can forget.

"That's just the people who passed the qualifying round. They don't look like a single strand of people."

"I guess."

The fact that Vacul is nearby naturally means that other Wind Dragon fang members are nearby, whining the words as Maust sighs.

Tournament format from the main battle. It will be a one-on-one battle. If you try Maust, a pure wizard type, it's a tough one that even makes it hard to win the first round.

"Calm down. Look, there are other wizards."

Luzi slaps Mosto's back thoughtfully that's going to depress him.

Claymore, which is just a big weapon, but the claymore Luzzi uses is even bigger than normal.

If you get slapped in the back with an arm that's wielding that stuff, naturally you can't stand being a wizard's most and stick to the front... and hit someone you're not at all familiar with.

"... be careful"

The bearer of that voice, whined bossly, was a man of the wind, such as a warrior of war, with several scars on his face.

If you just open your mouth with one word that you don't like to waste, you turn straight to the front.

"Oh, su, excuse me"

Momentum bowed his head, Mosto immediately glances at Luzi, who is smiling funny behind him.

"Please don't keep me with the owners of stupid powers like Luzi!

"Ha ha. Bad, bad, bad. But no matter how strong the opponent looks, we're in this fight. If you say so, you're right."

I guess I heard words coming out of Luzzi's mouth. A strong and intimidating gaze from the other contestants around.

Just don't keep us together with people like you. As if to say so silently.

If it were normal, it probably would have atrophied to that gaze.... but happy or unhappy, Luzi had a character that could not be described as very normal.

Most importantly, it only opens once a year in the Bestian Empire, where it competes in the main battle by breaking through the qualifying round in a martial arts tournament to name a country. Considering just that track record, it wouldn't be very normal.

In fact, while he realizes the gaze he can point at him, Ruzi opens his mouth without the way he laughed with his nose and cared.

"Even so, how about purposefully crushing it for a day just for the opening ceremony? I wish I could start the first round like this anyway. But even with this many people, you know it takes time."

"... Indeed"

Ray whining to agree.

We did not know the exact number of participants in this battle, but it is nevertheless true that as far as this is concerned there are over 100.

There will be 50 games in just one round, more than the main game is in tournament form.

Even for that game, many will not be settled any sooner than the participants are strong enough to be in the main battle.

It was Ray's expectation that it would take more than a week if he did poorly, at least a few days in just one fight......

(Well, if the most time-consuming game ever ended, there'd be fewer and fewer games after that.... Should I say I'm glad it wasn't a total win or something)

If we played a total win with more than 100 people, certainly the elements of luck would be able to determine their respective rankings with pure strength almost eliminated. But it is also true that the time to the end of the fighting tournament will be extended in proportion to that, and honestly as Ray, that was something I wanted to shy away from.

(I don't think you're thinking about it.)

When Ray thinks that way, his voice inadvertently sounds inside the arena.

Everybody, calm down! It is the presence of His Majesty the Emperor of the Bestian Empire, the Tragist Gnose Bestia!

The resounding voice probably uses the same trick that was used by the person who was live at the qualifying time.

But the majesty of the Lord of his voice is so full of majesty that it is not comparable to the figures of reality.

Yes, there was so much majesty in the voice of a nobleman who would not be an emperor himself, but a subordinate, or just a samurai.

That's why they're the top nations with the greatest power.

Ray whining inside.

"If it were meant to be, I would kneel down and welcome His Majesty the Emperor, but there are many non-Vestian Empires on this occasion, and furthermore, this is the opening ceremony of the Martial Arts Games. Therefore, in the same position as before, listen to the words of His Majesty the Emperor.

Follow that voice and everyone on stage aligns.

The gaze is directed at the audience seat reserved for the Emperor.

One person shows up there.

"Good luck to you all. I'm glad to see another bloody battle this year. It's not about identity, money, or power that we need in this fight. Power. It is he who defeats everything who stands at the top of the fight.... But things are a little different at this year's Martial Arts Games. There are more or less people who do not understand what power is. That would prove to be the war that broke out in the spring '

The Emperor acknowledges the defeat of his country.

While surprised by that, Ray's gaze was also directed at the emperor, who was speaking the same language as the rest of the participants.

Emperor of the country he has fought against. Vihera's father who is putting his thoughts to himself. Even with all the thoughts, the impression of a man reflected in that gaze directed at him was a lion.

I guess hair like hyena looks like that for the rest of it.

Ray's known lion if it were meant to be, basically, males often do nothing. It is also done by females to tailor their prey and fetch food, which can be said to be close to lazy in one way or another.

But not the lion at the end of Ray's gaze. Age seems to be getting old, but there is no slight decay in its body either, and I could understand from a distance that it is in the position of emperor but working out more than enough.

And most importantly, intimidation that overwhelms me just to watch.

Because Ray himself was ahead of a monster named Rank S Adventurer Noise a few days ago, even if he felt overwhelmed, he couldn't move.

But the others… Particularly the participants outside the Bestian Empire were just overwhelmed by the Lord of Voices.

Yes. Not the lion Ray knows, but the lion as King of the Hundred Beasts. That was who the Emperor of the Bestian Empire, Tragist Gnose Bestia, was at the end of Ray's gaze.

(This... that was just unexpected. No, he's a man who leads a country as powerful as the Bestian Empire. In a way, it's natural to have this kind of power)

While under pressure, I listen to the rest of the conversation with little agitation.

'Surely in that war, our army lost. But it is also because there was not enough strength, and it is the result because of the presence of strong power in the Kingdom of Mireana'.

The emperor moves his gaze, whining.

The point where that gaze is directed is the strong force that I just spoke of. That is, a man called Deep Red...... it was Ray.

(Whew)

He takes his gaze straight from the front and looks back without even showing any cowardice.

That was all Ray went for, but the emperor nevertheless praised him in his heart.

Because you understand how much of the pressure you're releasing around you.

(But... can you stay that way after this?

The emperor opens his mouth, feeling even a light joy.

'Yes, power. I mean, my Imperial Army wasn't strong enough. So, what do we do? It's easy. You just have to be desperate to gain that power. Try the wall. You can get over it, destroy it, or just avoid it. But never stop moving in front of that wall. I've got more walls for that. "

Words that stop once.

At the same time, one person advances beside the emperor.

Zawali.

The person… The moment I saw one man, whoever said he was in front of the Emperor but knew who the man was accidentally raised his voice.

If this is the place to look, blame and act naturally.

But... the person beside the emperor was the one who would be so shocked.

Later on, a few nobles said it was good that this opening ceremony didn't take place between sights.

A man who, while belonging to the Bestian Empire, strikes his surroundings with no less powerful shock than an emperor if he just shows up then. That is...

"The Adventurer the Bestian Empire is proud of in the world. Noise, a rank s adventurer with immovable aliases, with only three present in the world. The rest, in the name of Emperor Bestia, recommend this man as a participant in this battle '

Boom!

With the words of the Emperor, so much impact rushes through the arena.

The audience raised their voices of joy, and many have raised similar voices when they said that even the main contestants in the fight could be their opponents.

But... only a handful of personnel had such things as joy and a fierce grin that they could meet powerful enemies even with joy.

The other person is at the top of the world in the literal sense. He wants to try and see how far his own power can reach.

Some of those few figures naturally looked like Ray.

(beats that guy...)

Buwari, and the killer that winds up from Ray...... no, something to call even a pure struggle.

I don't want to kill you, I want to win. Because I thought so, something that should also be called fighting, not killing, is released from Ray's body.

You must have noticed Ray, who was so struggling that the participants around him accidentally retreated a few steps. The noise standing beside the emperor in the VIP room turns his gaze toward Ray.

Slightly distorted lips.

If you're going to beat yourself, come on up and win. Ray is also motivated by the attitude of noise that he says so silently.

And Ray wasn't the only one thinking about challenging one who would be at the top of this country called Noise.

Only a handful of more than 100 participants emit similar signs as if to echo Ray.

Noise opens its mouth prompted by the emperor in such silent exchanges.

'You seem to have all the energy inside. Above all. But I can't afford to lose more easily than I am in rank S. If you're serious about knocking me down, call me if you're willing to die in a literal sense. Whoever it is, I'll take that challenge. "

The voice of noise echoing within the arena.

Quiet, but with wonder and that voice that makes you feel something deep, inside the arena bursts with cheers that explode only after a moment of quiet.

Charisma would even surpass the emperor if he did poorly.

Of course, its charisma is due to its solid position, strength and track record of rank S.

Still, those around them are drawn, enchanted and admired by the way the noise showcases an unbeatable charisma to the emperor.

These are the people who came here to win the fight. But when even those people saw the presence of noise, they were happy to meet someone who could be described as more of a rank S legend than their own victory.

While understanding its unusual state of affairs, Ray also becomes aware of the burning struggling mind in his body.

"I see, it sure is awesome... Can't I lose too?"

Squirting, holding hands.

When I hear Ray like that, Rhodos takes me back.

I understood that I was under the heat of my surroundings.

(I... what? Yeah, I thought I was here to win this fight, too. Yet......)

It was true that he was overwhelmed by the presence of noise, but still regained me, Rhodos once again thinks of what he should become.

Yes, I... I bet on one possibility to compete in a martial arts competition.

Thus, while surprised by the presence of noise, the opening ceremony of the martial arts tournament proceeded, and on that day the opening ceremony would be told about the main martial arts tournament that would begin in a few days.
