Let's Manage The Tower

(15) Supremacy

Seychun's arena is operated by the Combat Alliance.

The main task is to manage the competitors and place bets on each match.

Managing competitors can include registering, matching matches, or hosting tournaments.

A contestant entering the arena is called a fighter in Setum.

The alliance will know all of the more than a thousand fighters in total.

All matches played in the arena are managed by the Arena Alliance, but there are roughly two types.

One is that the top winners in the tournament will also win prizes.

The other is to compete in the rankings of fighters unrelated to the tournament.

All fighters are divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced ranks.

Those who have a high winning rate at the beginner and intermediate levels can each rise to a higher rank.

There is no limit to the number of people in each rank.

However, since most tournaments have rank limits, it is possible that you will not be able to earn if you go to a higher rank poorly.

However, most people are also active as adventurers, as it is tough to live on the prize alone if you do not rank high.

Battle Alliance wagers are awarded from the Intermediate Rank if they enter the match.

Junior Rank fighters can only be rewarded for occasional Junior Rank specific tournament prizes.

Therefore, fighters enrolled in the beginner ranks are excited to increase their ranks faster.

In addition, advanced ranks are further subdivided.

Becoming in the top twenty advanced ranks will result in significant incentives.

Perhaps the biggest of these is to earn regular income.

However, the top twenty talented players can earn more money in the tournament than they earn.

Regardless of income, Kouchi's most important value is prestige gained by entering within the twentieth place.

If we can be in the top twenties, we can have a huge influence within Seitun.

You can also increase the prestige of your Alliance.

The matches that determine the rank of the fighter are always played somewhere.

However, it is not uncommon for lower-ranking people to take place in a room such as a small training ground without an audience seat.

Rather, it is mostly a battle in such training grounds.

Facilities with regular audiences are only available for advanced ranked fighters.

Exactly like the match between Kouchi and Osmo that is about to take place.

♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦

Osmo was in the current situation.

It is good in itself that a match is played to determine rank.

I was aiming for it myself in the first place.

But I don't like Carmen getting involved in this situation.

In the conversation I had the other day, I was thrilled by the fact that I was certain that I would lose.

Above all, I don't like the beauty standing in front of me.

When I found Kouchi lost in front of the reception, I just talked to him for a chance.

I realized that the elephants around me were looking for opportunities in the same way, so I tried to make them my own first.

But Kouhi ignored the end of it and set off an attack or something.

What I tried to inadvertently touch is already beyond forgetfulness.

Later on, it was obvious that there was something like a defensive boundary, but I didn't realize anything about myself at that time.

It is also one of the causes of Osmo's frustration.

However, as the judge of the match listened to the lengthy oral conversation he was talking to the venue, Osmo's expression regained calm.

Around here, you can be said to be the top twenty talented.

You have the strength not just to be swayed by your emotions.

Speaking of Kouhi on the other hand, his expression hasn't changed since he appeared at the venue.

He stood with an expression that he didn't care about the Osmo in front of him or the game itself.

And that's what I actually think.

The only two points that now occupy Kouhi's heart are Kaiseki, who is attacking the tower of Gazenrun, and how to raise his rank in the future.

There was nothing to be saddened about the game that was going to take place.

The feelings of the two contestants were completely irrelevant, and the surroundings were showing great excitement.

After all, even though it is the top 20 matches, it is unlikely that people will gather here in matches that are not among the top 20.

Then why people have gathered so far is because the rumors spread from the mouths of those who watched the noise the other day.

The audience gathered to see such a rumored beauty.

And the opponent is "Osmo the Brute Force."

In some cases, some expect some men to be happy with the development.

In addition to the surrounding situation, the judge proceeded with the introduction of both.

And the next moment when the battle finally started, the sighs of the spectators who had been exhilarating until then were silent in an instant.

The weapon used by Osmo is a hammer that wields with muscle strength that exceeds two meters in size.

It just swings around, but when combined with Osmo's muscle strength, it doesn't make any sense, such as the equipment the opponent is wearing.

The hammer that Osmo waved with his own power hit Kouhi.

I didn't take it personally.

In a recent incident, we know we have a high level of defense.

I don't know if Osmo put it on himself or if it was magic equipment, but I swing the hammer without saying that it was pointless.

And the next moment it was thought that the hammer would finally reach Kouhi's body, Osmo opened his eyes with surprise.

Kouhi stopped the hammer that was attacking him with his right hand.

Of course, I didn't stop using my muscle strength alone, but I used magic to strengthen it.

However, there are limits to how much magic you can use to strengthen it.

The audience was breathing in an unusual situation where a small woman, nearly 50 centimeters tall, was stopping the attack by more than two metres with one arm.

In the meantime, a very small number of people were looking at the situation from their own perspectives.

Carmen, who was watching the game with an acquaintance, was one of them.

"Ha ha, what a surprise. How about that, Yana?"

Yana, pointing at the water, answered with her shoulders raised.

"Don't be rude. You can't use such wasteful magic, can you?

I don't know.

Carmen nodded in Yana's words.

If they both told me to do it, I would be able to do the same.

But I can't do anything else at all.

That's what Yana said about "waste."

Besides, it's not just physical strengthening.

Looks like...

The two of them finally realized it, but the audience, which remained quiet, did not realize the fact.

And Osmo, the party, was stunned by the impossible earlier.

It doesn't move.

Whether you press, pull, or swing, whatever you do, the hammer won't move.

In fact, Osmo finally realized that the person in front of him (Kouhi) was a terrible opponent.

Is this what it looks like?

Osmo's expression was ugly distorted by Kouchi, who murmured so without moving his expression at all from the beginning.

"... that's it. What the hell is going on?

Ignoring the groaning Osmo, Kouhi decided to settle down quickly.

The next moment he took off his right hand, which supported the hammer, he stroked Osmo into his pocket and beat him with his armor.

And Osmo, who was struck by the blow, moaned briefly, "Gufu," and then sank on the spot.

At that moment, the judge who did not understand the situation was stunned, but he raised his right hand when he saw Osmo who did not see how it would move at all.

"Done! Winner, Corey!

The calm audience suddenly boiled at the judge's announcement.

The overwhelming strength of Cory's new top twentieth place was to spread rumours all at once.
