◆ Liliera ◆

Mina, Megli, and Lune were the next three qualifying matches.

While surprised that all of us had been called, the three nodded at each other's faces.

That's a silent look at teaming up.

And with the referee's signal, the players moved out.

The aim is Mina, the athletes strike at her, who at a glance can tell she's a wizard.

"Eat it!

But Mina, who had guessed it beforehand, escaped the siege with a great leap when she strengthened her own flesh with physical strengthening magic.

"Hey, what's up? ⁉"

"What lightness you were not ⁉ a wizard ⁉ *"

The athletes marvel at Mina's appearance as she breaks through the siege with unexpected lightness, and the attention focuses on her.

But I shouldn't have.

"I got it."

"There's a gap!

"" Ahhhhhhhhhh "

Megli, who was erasing the signs, and Lune, who pretended to be after Mina, unleash an unintentional blow at the players who were concentrating their consciousness on Mina.

Athletes who were attacked by another surprise have lost consciousness in one blow.

Those two are pretty eggy, too, around aiming first from someone who knows what it's about.

The athletes' attention then shifts to the Megris, while Mina activates the unchanging magic.

"Sideburst!

The stormy wind magic is unleashed and the athletes are blown off-site.

Megli and Lune, who knew beforehand that Mina could not have missed this gap, immediately deployed left and right, dodging a direct hit of magic, and further stabbing their own weapons onto the game stage to avoid being blown away.

Oh, Cheng Cheng. Is that why Mina used less lethal wind magic?

Thus, only three remained on the game stage after Mina's magical potency expired.

... Ah, you have three players who were lucky enough to be on the edge of the stage.

The two of them... Oh, the two of them who called us before the game started.

Six left, now who's the last of the shepherds?

"... uh, I abstain"

If I thought so, an unknown of the three remaining players jumped off the game stage with their faces bright blue with a pull and tremble.

"Ouch!

You were in such a hurry, it looks like you fell when you got down, but, well, the high and low difference from the game stage is about a meter, so that's not a huge injury.

"And the game is over!

As soon as Mina's magic returns me to the referee, he declares the end of the match.

"Yeah, well, as expected."

On the game stage if you look at it, the Minas were happy to pass the qualifying round with a high touch.

"I'm still qualifying, so don't be alarmed."

Nevertheless, I don't know what that feels like.

This is your first martial arts tournament.

"Well, what about Mr. Rex and the others?

No, well, I'm not worried about Mr. Rex in case, but the other two are a little worried, aren't they?

"Especially the monk kid over there..."

Anyway, you're the most normal kid in that thick piece of menthol.

◆ Gyro ◆

"Number 77!

"Whoa, they called me, Norb."

"Ugh, yeah."

Norb, called to the referee, goes up to the game stage nervously.

Damn, he's freaking out.

"Oh, my God, that kid, that's a gutsy bee."

"Why are monks in the qualifying round?

"I don't know, but they're after you first and you're falling off."

"I envy those guys fighting that kid. It's the same as one less competitor."

Other players laugh about Norb nearby.

"I don't know, those Osama's."

Yeah, they have no idea how strong the knob is.

"Let the game begin!

"Oh, come on, I almost missed the game."

Anyway, this game is really important to me.

"Hyah! Miscellaneous fish just have to leave!

"hi⁉ə"

Norb is attacked by the players around him just now.

Knolb, freaked out by the opponent's force, hardened and couldn't escape.

And the athletes' weapons are knocked down by the knobs.

"Well, it's okay."

"Hehe, that's too chocolate, you gah...... ki?

"Hey, what?

The players who attacked Norb raise a bewildered voice.

"Bi, I'm surprised."

Norb gives a soothing voice.

"What? Why did they stop the attack?

The guys watching the game nearby tilt their necks at the fact that the attack on Norb had finally stopped.

"No, it's not. I didn't stop the attack."

Yes, the players didn't stop the offense.

"It stopped."

The athletes' attacks were completely defended by Norb's defensive magic.

"Hey Norb, just fight back!

"Ugh, yeah!

When I speak up, I shake the mace that Norb has in his hand, remembering that he's in the game now, to attack the big player in front of him.

"Ha, about a kid's henna chocolate attack in front of you.

An athlete is blown away laughing at Norb's offense.

And when that giant fell to the ground, he freaked out and cramped and passed out.

"Shh, excuse me! I've done too much!

When a hasty Norb rushes over to a stunned athlete, he immediately uses healing magic.

Well, I think I just passed out, so I guess I'm not dead.

"... eh"

The guys who were after Norb baffled and stepped back, but now that they're concentrating on restorative magic, they think it's their chance, they strike again simultaneously.

"Die, monster boy!

"Huh?"

Everyone's attack is slammed into Norb's brain.

"Ko, how about this...... ⁉ ●"

The faces of the athletes I thought I'd done this time are pitifully distorted.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Hi-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no"

Ha ha, he and the others are seriously freaking out.

Anyway, my brother said the knob's gear was defense-specific.

Norb doesn't like to move as quickly as we do, so he decided to talk to his brother and prevent the enemy from attacking him in the direction of increasing his defense.

In fact, Knolb's attributes were defensive ground attributes, and using physical enhancement magic is the most defensive of us.

At first glance it looks like normal priestly clothing, but what I use is specially made clothing made by mixing the powder of various dragon scales with a yarn that fibres the demonic bark of a dequette tree: an enchanted plant.

... I mean, you can also make clothes for your brother.

Seriously, it's amazing what you can do, brother!

My brother said that other magic items that raise magic defenses can withstand dragon braces.

You think it's okay to go inside a magma?

I don't know what a magma is, Wakan, but my brother says it, so it's amazing.

"Now it's our turn! Earthbound!"

When Norb, who has finished treating the fallen player, activates his magic, suddenly the ground around Norb starts to ripple and grab the feet of the players who were around him.

"Hey, what the heck? A⁉"

"I'll go!

Norb wields a mace and the players who feel dangerous try to escape, but the players who are grabbed by their feet fail to escape and are blown away by Norb's attack.

Yes, this is the way my brother fights special fights for the slow-footed Norb, a maneuver that catches him so he doesn't escape before attacking him!

Norb's magical, leg-sealed athletes are blown away by Norb's mace one after another.

"Ah, that gakiabe. ⁉⁉R"

The guys who finally realize the strength of Norb start targeting other players.

If it's enough to fight Norb, it sounds like you thought it would be better to defeat the other players and be named five of the qualifying passes.

"But it's not just Norb's," he said.

……

"Wow!? What a strength with your bare hands!?"

If he wears a mask over there, and a good Gatai player grabs the other players with his bare hands, he throws them off the field.

That's a really great muscle, man.

"Ha!!"

Buckethelm players were fighting more than each other over there in a duplicity.

"Eh, I wanted to go to this game, too."

I didn't have a lot of guys at my game, but I'm jealous of all the funny guys over here.

"Especially there. That's awesome."

I see the fourth of the players fighting with Norb.

He is a black armored, black helmet, black sword and black cloak player.

The athlete's movement was clearly more elegant than that of the other athletes, and the red colour of the cloak's lining was flickering as if it were a flame when Soytes moved.

He's definitely the strongest of these.

"Uh, seriously, I'm in."

And as expected, the game was won by a bucket helm on the nose and mask, as well as a player with black armor all over his body and five players who finally hid this face again.

"You're just the guys who hid their faces. Is that what's fashionable?

"This concludes all qualifying matches! The main election is in two days! Make sure your athletes are well prepared by then!

Thus, the qualifying of the Dragon Emperor's Rite and the Dragon Princess's Rite was successfully completed.

Hey, I'm looking forward to the real election!

◆ Wangdu nobles ◆

"They say the qualifying for the Dragon Emperor's Rite is over."

My compatriots tell me a report from a man who snuck me into the town of Tatstron.

"So what happened? Have you found out who the dragon emperor is?

"No, he hasn't."

"Then it's highly likely that the Dragon Emperor is in the main race. How many of our assassins were able to compete in this race?

……

For some reason, my compatriots wrinkle between their brows and shut up.

"What's up? How many people were able to compete in this race?

A large number of assassins were involved in the qualifying round.

In the unlikely event that we fail to finish the Dragon Emperor in the qualifying round, we plan to consolidate all the players participating in the main round with assassins except the Dragon Emperor.

That's why I'm inviting all the skilled assassins to join me.

Just in case the outsiders don't mix up.

"... three people"

"What!?"

Stupid, too little!

"Only three assassins were able to compete in the competition."

What the hell!? The assassins who participated in the Dragon Emperor's ritual are all the best trained!?

There's no way those assassins can beat a hammering adventurer!

"They had a bunch of players who were bullshit resistant to qualifying"

He said he was a bullshit resistant player!?

Have hostile factions sent out their troops to protect the Dragon Emperor?

But none of their men had that much power!

"And..."

"And?"

You still got something!?

"Too many assassins were allowed to participate in the qualifying round, and the player's quota was screwed up. And it just so happens that the assassins we sent are going to be in the same game..."

"" "Ooh..." "

I wonder what that means.

The assassins we sent destroyed each other...
