Then.

Yudo, who was to be applied for an unexpected duel by the number [04] man, Jarrett Jackson, was visiting the underground arena deep in Azit.

(I didn't know. I can't believe this kind of facility was hidden deep beneath the Wang capital...)

The place currently in front of us, the 'underground arena', was, as far as we could see, such a vast area that there were likely to be 500 metres of square footage.

So far I have no idea what the facility was built for.

It just seemed certain, at least, that this place was an institution built over the centuries.

"Ooh. I think they're in a good mood."

Appearing from the western side of the underground arena is Jarrett, the number [04] man who is this duel opponent.

Observing them again, Jarrett's hairstyle, like a visual band, and clean, white cooking clothes had a ruthlessly impactful appearance.

Meanwhile, this one is inside an audience built outside the underground arena.

The seats in the front row of the audience with a special three-story structure gathered the members of the Numbers.

"Hey. Who do you think will win this battle?

It was Lucy who whined casually as she hit the laptop on her lap with a clatter.

The other members gathered in the audience were each to speak thoughtfully of the anticipation of the battle.

"Isn't Mr. Jarrett in favor of the boulder?"

"Yeah! That's a natural prediction."

Beyond at number [10] agrees with Yumi at number [09].

The numbers given to members are determined based on individual Achievements, the importance of Ability, Combat Ability, etc.

If the numbers are low, they will definitely win, but it seemed impossible, normally, for a tentative eighth-place Yudo to win over fourth-place Jarrett.

"... I think Mr. Ute will win"

Emilia was at the edge of the audience. Pottori and Emilia zero.

"... Emilia. That's unusual. I can't believe you're saying your opinion."

Each of them was in a number with a peculiar predicament. Emilia was a mysterious being whose qualities no one knew.

Since she is given the title of number [02], I am only certain that her powers are essential to the organization, but her abilities still remained mysterious in their entirety.

"Hey. Emilia, do you know anything about him?

I can tell because Emilia was witnessing Yodo's work closer than anyone else as a receptionist.

Yodo's strength will never be inferior to that of Jarrett in number [04].

"Ugh. Don't tell ♡"

But.

Even if I reveal it now, it will make Xing cold.

So thought Emilia, laughing prankily and clouding her words with mysterious.
