The third and fourth rounds of the strongest clan match were unsuccessful.
Apparently, the opposing clans were watching our first and second games and lost their will to fight. It's important for those of you who are going to compete in this most powerful clan battle to show your strength. It is also a manifestation of self-expression greed, but many clans aim to increase the requests brought to people by showing their power.
It seemed to me that we should avoid losing to the girls in public.
──I read and grasped the information in the mind of the clan leader-like man who was applying to abstain from the referee.
For those of us who are willing to fight through this battle, it would be much appreciated if we could fight less often in the qualifiers. I'm here because I want to show the world the power of my clan, but I think if I get good grades in this competition, I'll get enough of that.
That's why our clan (Familia) has decided to advance to the quarter-finals.
By the way, we can win six fights in this strongest clan match. The number of participating clans is exactly one hundred. High-ranking clans and clans that performed well in the last tournament seem to be able to enter the seeds, but we just formed normally started the first round.
You've made it this far, Halt.
Irina-san, you came to see me.
Glendale King's Adventurer's Guild. The top there came to see us.
"It's a clan I recommended, so I'll give it my back." That said, this is the first time I've been too busy to get to the venue. ”
Our clan received Irina's nomination and is now able to participate in the strongest clan battle.
There were thousands of clans in Glendale, big and small. Like us, there are not only combat-specific clans, but also production clans and commercial clans. Sometimes these clans also have adventurers with high combat abilities, so they are in this most powerful clan decision.
It was thanks to Irina that we were able to compete in this tournament because we had just formed and we were still a C-rank clan.
"I received a recommendation from the Chief Executive Officer of Glendale's largest guild." I'll give you a good fight. "
"Ah, you don't have to be too careful." It's about as good as it gets. If you do everything in your power, your country will be in danger. "
"Haha. It's okay. That's not going to happen."
In the first round, we fought with all our might, but this country is alive and well.
And somehow, I felt like I had to get serious in the next match.
────
My instincts were right after all.
"Mr. Hult, I can't believe you're forming a clan and standing in front of me..."
"It's just a clan." You remembered me better than that, Chairman Rain. "
"It's the former chairman." Just call me by my usual name. "
The first opponent in the quarter-finals was a wizard named Rain. He was the president of the student association the year I enrolled in the Ifus Magic Academy. He was said to be the strongest student since he was in the fourth grade.
Well then, is Mr. Rain an adventurer now?
No. I usually serve His Majesty as a court mage.
That's right. It's amazing.
The title of court mage cannot be awarded unless he is recognized for his magical prowess, has a good family character, and conforms to his personality. With that status, I was free of all the restrictions on magic in Glendale. It was the court mage who had the privilege.
I've never met Rain, though I've been summoned to the Royal Castle by His Majesty. Well, I didn't walk around the castle that much, so I guess I had no choice.
Why is the court mage attending this tournament?
"I also participated in a production clan aimed at gathering materials for magic research." I joined up with my confident colleagues. Especially this time, I was invited by His Majesty to participate. "
While saying that, Raine looked straight at me.
"A funny guy will be joining us, so let's see what he can do." I get it when I get here. Your Majesty is talking about you, Hult. "
A refreshing smile, but Rain's eyes weren't laughing.
"I lost to you before." I was robbed of my strongest seat at the School of Magic. "
The magic power sharpened from him overflowed.
"This is the magic power of the highest mage in this country..."
It contains a pretty strong killer.
"I'm not angry. I was able to notice that there was a man up there. Thanks to you, my will to go on the path of magic exploration has been consolidated."
The signal to start the battle had already been given.
"I will defeat you and show His Majesty my power."
Rain puts her hand in the sky.
"First of all... come on! Ifrito!!"
A huge summoning formation was formed, and the Spirit of Fire King (Ifrito) was summoned.
I wonder if you're going to follow through on your old match.
But it wasn't exactly the same as six years ago.
"Huh? I was forcibly summoned." Moreover, this..... "
It looked like Ifrito had been forcibly summoned. And I was surprised that the summoner wasn't me. In addition, ifrites were made stronger, stronger, hotter, hotter than usual.
"If I just called the Spirit King, I could do it too." This is my power now. "
"This time, Lord Hult is the enemy." But this body is amazing. Your strength is overflowing. With this, my fist will reach Lord Hult! "
It seems that ifrites have also been strengthened and motivated.
Forced Summoned Spirits strongly reflect the Summoner's Mind. She said she didn't resent me earlier, but I felt a strong desire from Rain to defeat me. Under the influence of that, the Spirit King of Flames attacked me.
I wore a magic coat and attacked Ifrito.
"Hahaha." Remember the old days, Lord Hult!! "
"Don't take it a little easy!"
It unleashes its magic power while releasing an onslaught.
"It is also the duty of the Spirit King to teach defeat to those who arrogate themselves to being mighty. This time, you have to give up because you weren't lucky."
Damn it! Then I'm serious── too
I thought I'd go back in time, too.
But it's not exactly the same and it's not interesting.
Besides, I'm also getting new power.
"Help me!"
Last time, I summoned the Star Spirit King (Old Man).
This time, I would like to refer to a lower existence than the Star Spirit King.
But there is a (...) force that I made (...) stronger (...) by (...) Note (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) with all (...) forces (...).
"Come! Sylph! Undine! Gnome!!"
I summoned the Wind, Water, and Earth Spirit King here.
"... what, what?"
Sylphs wore an aura that was out of step with the usual.
Looking at them, Ifrett hardened.
Let's get started.
A battle to teach defeat to a spirit king who thinks he is a mighty man.
