Three days have passed.
Martial Arts Day. In the end, I was the only one in the tournament outside of the Elves.
Fifteen men were gathered from the Elves, including the sons of leading nobles and ministers, and generals of the national army. It's a tournament for sixteen, including me.
Since the noise was expected to increase when the people were informed of Tina's return, only nobles and royalty had come to the venue. Still has an audience of about a hundred people.
The tournament winner, or Tina's fiancée, will announce to the public that it will coincide with Tina's survival.
King Elf stood on the fighting bench.
"As we all know, our hero Tina-Harribel returned the other day. I'm really sorry. And today, we're hosting a tournament here to decide who will be tied to Tina!
I get cheers from the whole venue.
One leaf was delivered to King Elf.
They say it's a world tree leaf. Every year, only one leaf of the world tree falls on Alheim. The leaves of the World Tree are a super precious magic item.
It becomes an elixir that brings the dead back to life and an ingredient that makes a high-powered wand.
"Protect us and proclaim to Silf, the Spirit King of the Wind. Today, we are here to hold a tournament to determine who will enter into a pact with the hero Tina-Harribel."
King Elf raised the leaves of the world tree in the sky.
"At the price of this leaf of the world tree, protect Tina and the winner of the tournament! And I wish peace in the world"
A gentle breeze blows across the venue. When I realized, the leaves of the world tree had disappeared from King Elf's hand.
"Silf, the Spirit King of the Wind, is watching this tournament. Everybody, fight as hard as you can!
Thus began the tournament.
─ ─ ─ ─
Though the leaves of the world tree disappeared from King Elf's hand.
It's in my hand now.
Silf brought it to me.
I'm a Silf contractor.
I signed a contract yesterday.
If Undine and Ifried introduced me, they would have easily signed me - or Silf would have already heard about me from Mai and Mae's father, and that he was going to sign me up originally?
Apparently the voice heard on the hill overlooking Alheim belonged to Silf.
"You don't even have to give me back the leaves I give you every year. You want a Hurt?"
Silf spoke to me in the only voice I could hear. He's trying to only look like me, too.
Silf is a spirit who looks like a girl in the wind.
"I need it, I need it so bad!
"Oh, is that it? Then why don't we just keep it full?
"No, I don't know about that... I'll just say it when I need it"
"Whoa, okay"
She's honest and good.
"By the way, Hart wants to marry Tina, right?
"Yeah."
Honestly, I feel like getting married is still early, but at least I definitely don't like Tina just being taken by other guys.
"It's Hart I'm marrying Tina! If you say something like that, will you listen to everyone in the elf?
"Um, I don't think it's that easy. There's more to Silf than that."
I told him about the operation in Sylph.
"What's that!? Sounds interesting! Do it!!"
"Thank you. Then don't ask me if I signal."
"Whoa! Leave it to me."
That's what Silf said and disappeared.
─ ─ ─ ─
The first round began.
My opponent is said to be the strongest general in this country. I think they're manipulating the combination. But it doesn't change what you do.
I'm just gonna win.
"I can't wait for people to enter this tournament. Master Tina should be bound to the Elves. So let me just let you win."
The Admiral wrapped the wind around his body and hit him at high speed. I put magic on my body, improve my physical abilities and avoid them.
We can avoid attacks.
─ But my attack won't even hit the target.
I also know that it is the strongest of the elves.
It's moving really fast.
Would it be easy to imagine if Rifa's high-speed arrows became man-shaped and attacked from all directions?
I can't get on the offense with all my best to avoid it. I can't win like this, so I decided to use magic.
"Firelance!"
I created ten fiery knights.
"Behold, what is that magic?!?"
"You're too fast, let me attack you multiple times."
A knight of fire storms the general.
The Admiral will try to respond, but...
"Ah, if you attack him with wind magic, it explodes, so be careful..."
Dogooooooooo on
Was it too late?
The Admiral seems to have been beaten with a fist in the wind. Reacting with wind magic, the fiery knight burned violently and caused a great explosion.
When fighting so many superior enemies that even if there are more than one knight of flames, the knight of flames incorporates explosive magic so that he can blow himself up as a last resort.
Attacking a fiery knight with wind magic is like pressing that self-destruct switch.
The general, caught in an explosion at close range, blew away as he blackened.
Isn't he dead?
Well, there's Luca, and you can handle the worst.
The Admiral managed to live.
And I won the first round.
─ ─ ─ ─
WWII and WWIII were won in the same way.
The Admiral was said to be the strongest in this country, so I couldn't have fought it down.
"... don't you use elves other than wind magic?
"That's not true, but you get used to it the most and you get aggressive."
Rifa will answer.
Attack yourself and get caught in the explosion.
From the side, all I can say is asshole.
He seemed to remember doing the same thing in the steel woods, and Rifa leaned down with a red face.
Anyway, I came to the finals.
Next time, we can prevent Tina from marrying an elf in this country if she wins.
I headed to the arena.
