Me, Adventurer! - Undoubled Skills Are Flat Magic (WEB Version)

Episode 220 - Check it out from the first day of the tournament!

I picked up the Viscount (Sochi) in the town of Dantes, as usual, and then flew to the king's capital. Mr. Ginger will not accompany you this time. Always when couples vacate town, let's just say it's hard because the clerical work in between is delayed. Lords are tough.

And yesterday I entered Wang Capital, and today is February 28th. It's the first day qualifying for the tournament takes place.

Me and the Viscount are from the final tournament with a qualifying waiver, but we got this date because we're going to watch the qualifying once and for all. Maybe there's a very strong man out there. Though only when staying in Wangdu, it is for a single house with a garden where you can live with a wanker, I will not be alarmed.

The venue is the Knights of Kingsguard training ground in Wangdu. Ordinary fantasy can have a big arena, but apparently it's not in this country.

"You don't have any state-owned permanent ones. As a country, I guess it's true that you want us to fight demons and enemies rather than fight each other. If it's an underground arena hosted by the Bandit Guild, they say it's a bit in the big city. I don't know where I am."

"Heh. Speaking of which, there was a stone stage in an underground liquor store when the Bandit Guild Picking in Border Sets, was that it? I thought you were gonna make me jump at the dance."

"Probably so. Guess I'll bet which one wins while I drink."

It wasn't the basement of the dome, and there was no audience. That's not enough for the stage to decide the strongest in the world. Even the most powerful creatures will not be motivated.

There was a reception at the entrance to the training area and there was a skewed line of prospective entrants. This would be a row of people who would like to see the tournament, as the reception is already closed. I came here pretty early, but it's more crowded than I expected. Is it that popular? Fighting boom?

"I asked the innkeeper yesterday and he said the royal family is putting a lot of effort into it. They say the final tournament is also subject to betting, so they may be gathering to purchase information about the participants."

"Oh, really? Naturally, the torso is a country, isn't it?

"Betting is the most lucrative thing in the torso."

"Oh, my God, what you're doing is the same as a bandit guild."

"It would be perfect if I even sold alcohol. Ugh."

"If the state does it, it's legal, otherwise it's illegal. That's power."

"That's it!

"... sloppy"

Sad, I guess, that's reality. There is also the notion that the state should manage it as long as it serves as a source of funding for criminal organizations. It's better to keep you safe. If that's what you're going to earn, fine. I guess this time it was positive. In fact, Dorton's whorehouse is managed by the Adventurer Guild. Illegal prostitution is subject to control.

Speaking of which, you talked about the casino bill. What happened to that one after all? Has it been passed... well, what does it matter now?

If we wanted to come in side by side, there was another entrance reserved for the nobility that the knight guarded. That's ragged. Naturally, we enter from there. No waiting time. Hey, power is convenient!

"... sloppy"

The training ground was as large as I thought, and well equipped. The size is usually more than likely to take the football on three sides, and there are stone viewing seats that have become chick beds. At the top of the spectator seats there is even a box seat for guests. It's usually a ballpark or a football field. We head to the box, naturally.

"This is the capital of the king. Sometimes royalty and nobility watch the training. Equipment for that."

The Viscount explains as he sits on a wide open window leather sofa. You're not so soft, you couch. What's inside?

Originally they said this was not dedicated to the Kingsguard Knights, but was a common training ground for the Knights resident in the Wang capital. That seems to have become exclusive to the Kingsguard Knights in a major overhaul of the domestic Knights.

The kingdom originally had a Kingsguard, a total of four knights, one, two and three. I don't know in detail what role any of them were in, but of these, the Kingsguard Knights had been half-baked in the coup attempt (silly uncle) case, merged with the Second Knights to become the New Kingsguard Knights, and the Third Knights had been suspended because of the fake pirate (fat kappa) case.

There were also times when the First Knights wore out in the war against Jerkins, and they were almost forced to shut down their functions except for the Kingsguard Knights. Organizational restructuring was inevitable. Except for the Kingsguard Knights, it was to be dismantled and restructured into a new Knights.

The Kingsguard Knights broadened their terms of reference, previously only the Royal Castle security, but now the main role was to maintain law and order in and around the Royal Castle and Wang Capital. Something like the Imperial Palace Police plus Police Department in Japan?

The newly established Knights of Guard is a knighthood that maintains domestic security outside the Wang Capital, mainly for city and village criminal investigations and policing. This is the prefectural police, so to speak. It is the largest on the scale.

Another new establishment is the Knights of Defence, and this one is an army to fight foreign countries. You're a regular army, not a militia, because they usually plan to travel outside the country as well.

Each Knights in a major overhaul like that, but shortage of manpower is the current challenge. A lot of knights were incorporated into the Knights of Guard in the adaptation, but the Knights of Defence are seriously understaffed for that matter. It's not a problem now because the war with Jerkin has just ended, but it can't stay that way forever. Without armaments, if another country attacks me, I'll pack it. Early staffing is essential.

The king was blurry about that. I know how you feel, but I want you to stop calling me to King's Capital to be stupid. No, I'm one of the culprits. That's why I don't know about making defence consultations a child.

Well, is this tournament also about solving that?

How dare you join the Knights from among the powerful participants? Aside from Prince Wang's birthday and the reasons for me and Mr. Klein? I was given a good body. That's what that king's gonna think.

The new Knights of Defence, while referring to the Knights, will consist of most of its constituents in infantry. This is the first attempt in the history of the kingdom. The reason for this lies in the appearance of the gun.

The guns that Jerkin's reincarnators brought into this world have dramatically changed the way war works. The personal strength of knights and soldiers has transformed them from a classic war that shapes the battlefield into a modern war in which quantity and information determine victory and defeat.

Guns are easier to handle than swords and spears. All you have to do is aim and pull the trigger. Battlefields can cover you with quantity even if you are less skilled, and you don't need manoeuvre. It sucks when you get close, but you don't have to make that a situation by barrage up there.

I mean, you're gonna need a number for the operation anyway. Because so many knights cannot be prepared, inevitably the main force will be the infantry.

Of course, you need basic health as a soldier, even if you can be less skilled. Guns weigh a lot, and you have to carry ammunition. So it's a martial arts tournament.

The contestants will be proud of their strength, so they can expect early warfare by shortening their basic training. I guess for the Knights of Defence, which is a pressing challenge to increase personnel, it meant ships across the border. The name of the ship may be Titanic.

That king, he doesn't seem like a mess, does he? Seems to be acting thoughtful and calculated from what to what. With that said, that's what it looked like the first time we paired. As a mentor, I'm reliable, but I personally don't want to deal with him because he's a pain in the ass. Seriously, it's a pain in the ass. I said it twice because it's important.

"I see that was the circumstance. I can't believe you noticed that there, Mr. Beat!

"Expansion of armaments? Let's raise taxes, huh?

"He said he wouldn't raise it for the moment. There are also compensation payments from Jerkin and tax revenues from new territories. But if the economy doesn't turn around, I'll have to raise taxes, so I was told to build up the streets quickly and spin gold and booze over here."

"Um, His Majesty liked that liquor called shochu. Instructions were given to increase production and turn it to Wang Du. And the streets, but we must hurry to build more plants."

Soon, the border has become an experimental site for the kingdom's economy. No, I set it up.

If successful, there will be a construction rush and specialty development competition across the kingdom in the future. That is nothing more than the revitalization of the economy. If that brings up tax revenues and enriches your life, it's a win-win for everyone. So this street-level development and shochu expansion must be made successful at all costs. The responsibility is heavy.

As everyone sat back on the couch and window frames and talked, they cheered at the training ground under their eyes. Apparently, qualifying finally begins.

The qualifying round is Battle Royal. Participants are divided into twelve groups, and each winner of each group proceeds to pawn for the final tournament. Six of them are fighting today.

New rules have been added for both qualifying and finals that were not available at the time of the announcement. It's an off-site loss and an out of time draw.

Off-site losses are the same rule, and if you fall out of a staircase about ten meters high on each side, you lose. This allowed even the powerless to stand around well at the edge of the area to aim for a win. The range of tactics would be more interesting.

An out-of-time lottery is a lottery drawn to determine the winner if the predetermined amount of time has passed and the winner has not been determined. Luck says it's of strength, and is that an ant?

Ten or so participants are gathered on the stadium about ten meters on each side. Each of them distanced themselves thoughtfully - the coppers rang loudly. Finally, the game begins.

It was a scrap draw from the first battle. There was only one big man in the first group who was proud of his power, and he threw the other participants one after the other, but if the last one did it very well, he was stuck and ran away until the time ran out. In the end, in the crunch, the big man pulled the hit and made it to the final. I'm glad you're not wasting your efforts.

The second and third groups were, in due course, won by men of good stature and strong strength. The winner of the third set was a Richter type heavyweight, and the main way to win was to push and protrude off-site, so I remembered the sumo a little and missed it. Out of the way.

The fourth group was very different than before, and the skinny, tall man won. This guy stood at the edge of the arena from the start, innuating and scurrying the opponent coming towards him and dropping him off-site. You're a skilled man. Hands and feet are long and difficult to get close to. Check it out.

And it's group five.

"There's a woman here."

"Straight hair with dark hair is rare. Where are you from?

"Don't change the clothes you're wearing. Samantha Han's little sleeves and a bun."

"Ah, try on your sandals. We're going to fight, can you move with that?

……

Shit. That girl, she's definitely a Japanese official. The sandals at your feet are grass shoes. Could it be the third reincarnator? No, actually, it sounds like a memory transplant, not a reincarnation, but a reincarnation would be fine because I don't really understand the difference.

But you don't seem like a modern man. In modern Japan, it's about bar mitzvahs for women to wear small sleeves and crochet. Besides, I wouldn't wear such plain well girder patterned small sleeves at an mitzvah. It's a little grassy.

That daughter, who stood in the corner of the arena, looks here with Chirali. Huh, have you been sensed? When you're sticking it into yourself to what,

"Sister"

Sarasa, standing behind me, groaned potpourrily. Huh? Sister?

And the copper tongue at the start of the fifth set of matches rang.
