The Branded Female Fencer
War and Peace, Part 93 - Conference Day 4, Unified Martial Arts Congress ① -
Fourth day of the meeting.
The festive mood was even stronger this morning. Because the main battle of the Unified Martial Arts Games begins.
If you are a culturalist of the continent, you know the authority and exuberance of the Unified Arts Congress. The winner will receive the finest honors as a martial artist and will not have trouble with the mouth of an officer or anything else for the rest of his life. Although there have been no knights or victories in the past decade other than those hired by national missions, there have been sudden and unnamed winners if by sector.
It may not be like grabbing a thousand bucks, but it is fully dreamy for the civilian population, and many of the audience come to watch this martial arts tournament overlapping their own depression and dream stories. Also, Miranda opened the stand-up seats for free this time, so the number of spectators was even more swollen than usual. The arena itself prepared something much larger than usual in anticipation of more spectators.
Even a free audience, thirsty and hungry. As long as I come to the arena, I buy food from a nearby store. The Archbishop and the rest of them had no idea, but Miranda was holding a unified martial arts tournament thinking about even commercial revenues.
Starting today, Miranda, as the person in charge, will start putting her face around this one, not the peace conference. The inspection of the venue and the supervision of the referee must be carried out first. There was Elsa beside him, acting like an assistant.
"Dear Miranda, confirmation of the venue is fine. Until yesterday, it was used in the main battle by division, but there was no dissatisfaction, especially from the fighters."
"Yes. Has the main battle by division progressed without delay?
"Yes, without any minor handicaps"
"The unrestricted general division has also managed to close the qualifying round, and so far so good."
Miranda confirmed the combination of the main battle. A total of more than 1000 fighters and qualifying breakers from this battle combined in one major competition. There were also abstentions due to injuries, but the shortfall compensated for the number of people from the mission and Arnelia officials, which proceeded roughly as planned.
From here on, it has only been decided that the main game and the qualifying breakers will face each other in the first round, and the combination has been announced until they are narrowed down to the 16 players who will be the Tensei match. Of course, there are many contestants out of Arnelia.
"No problem arranging a referee?
"Yes, we have chosen from Arnelia's pilgrimage and also borrowed applicants from each envoy as well as personnel from Turam and Guild because there must be no injustice again. Those who confirmed and selected Aristotle, Rafferty, and Eliza in a simulated battle, so I was wondering if there was a shortage of abilities."
"There are only a few fighters who exceed those three abilities. If we get squeezed up to the last 16, I don't know what's gonna happen."
To Miranda's words, Elsa remembered a faint hitch.
"May I ask you one question?
"Go ahead."
"Does Master Miranda have some anticipation of who will win?
I honestly don't know.
In Miranda's reply, Elsa tilted her neck. Miranda saw Elsa's reaction and understood that it would be.
"You're not convinced, are you? Is this the first time you've seen the Unified Martial Arts Games?
"Yes. I just said I'm Titania"
"Shall I give you one example? Suppose Dryan, Valsas, Alberto and Diore are all in on it. Who do you think will win them?
"It's... I don't know"
Elsa was honest and Miranda nodded as well.
"I don't know either. And what if they crushed each other early in the tournament? Wouldn't it be hard to keep one winning? Then you don't know who's going to win anymore. Besides, the weapon held down the ability to kill.
In fact, the historic winner of the Unified Martial Arts Games is not always the strongest. That's when luck matters. "
"Miranda ever watch a martial arts tournament?
"I watched the game, and in running it, I did quite a bit of research on past competitions, and most importantly, I've been there. That was quite a while ago before I belonged to Arnelia.
I've never stayed until the last eight, not even immortal, who can return to a full body every time. "
"Yeah? Really?
Elsa was honestly surprised, but Miranda just laughed lightly.
