I beat Mr. Villet off the spot about three times and brought him to a judgment win from running out of time. Besides the presiding judge, the adjudicators had no mistrial in front of them to let Mr. Villet with a reduction of 3, and I made it through the first round.

Would it have looked like magic knight students around them had worked hard to pick up judgment wins? Down off the dueling ground with personal satisfaction, Sakilis had a subtle look on his face.

"Are you sure about that...?

"It would be good to get serious next time"

Answering that, Sakilis grinned as soon as he could. Is that what you mean? Apparently he understood.

Now, no matter how each game ends in three minutes, it takes as long as it takes to get up or down to the dueling field, and it takes more than three hours to simultaneously progress the game until one more round turns.

I could stay away for a while, but I think the games of the guys with relatively close matches should be combined with reconnaissance, so I stayed in the waiting area. Surrounded by a wall about a metre high by magic measures, it's like a stand-up seat, which is hard to say a break space for flattery, though.

Serious Marcus still came to me to watch the other participants play.

"Happy First World War, Jin"

"Thanks"

"Mr. Vaud's calling for you."

Ku, and Marcus pointing his thumb at you. If you follow your gaze, Mr. Vaud and Mr. Lassia of Gilmouth, who are looking at me, and Yuna, my apprentice, were in the front row of the audience.

"... can I ignore it?

"They also tell me to bring them in if they don't come"

Marcus said like any other HR. I sigh openly.

"I don't really want to stand out."

"Anyway, we're going to fight the winning candidate next, right?

Leaving it alone will stand out, I was told in the dark. That's right.

"That's why. We want to remain anonymous until we defeat the Holy Knight."

"That's a tricky thing, that's"

"You're still really after the victory."

I don't care if they say you can't grow up. Marcus laughed thinly at my words.

"Why don't you just change your appearance and go see him? You can do it, can't you?

If you use disguised magic. Sure, most likely... I can't do it in front of people.

"... I have no choice. Will you say hello?"

I gave up and crossed the waiting area when I returned my heel. Wall surrounding the center ground of the arena. The audience seat is above it, but walks to the wall facing the waiting area, to Mr Vaud and others in front of it.

"Is that Jin?

"Who else do I look like?

Mr. Vaude sarcastically hoisted the edge of his lips as I deliberately shrugged my shoulders while keeping my face hidden with my helmet.

"Show me your face. What kind of country knight is that?"

What is a country knight? I laughed bitterly and raised the visor section to show him my face. But close it immediately.

"Master..."

Yuna gave me a slight glimpse of my childlike attitude.

"So, what can I do for you?

"Yeah, don't make it so bad. If you're going to a martial arts tournament, you could have said something."

"I didn't think the Adventurer Alliance needed a declaration"

"I don't need another declaration..."

Mr Vaud put his arms together.

"I can't believe you dress as a knight... You're a magician, aren't you?

"Well, I'm still a student at the School of Magic Knights."

"I see. Not as an adventurer, but as a representative of the school"

It's not like that... Well, you took the liberty of making a mistake, so let's just say that. It's for Early, I can't explain it.

"You, can you use a sword?

"I'm still a cavalier."

"That was a stupid question. But if you're leaving, I should have entered."

Mr Vaud laughed lavishly. Then Lassia coughed up.

"Consider your position. I'm not young anymore."

"Tell me what! I'm not losing to the younger ones yet!

I'm in tune with Gilmouth.

"Yeah, Mr. Vaud, you're still young enough. Even recently it was active in the ancient dragon exorcism."

"Look, Jin says the same thing"

"Mr. Jin...... don't stir up the guild chief too much. I've been settling down lately, but since I met you, I've come to the front again with my sword..."

I want you to settle down as the master of the Adventurer Guild, says Mr. Lassia. I saw Mr. Vaud.

"Really?

"I just thought it was too early to rust. If you could use a sword, I wanted to work with you."

I'm sorry. What a dragon killer hero.

"Then I'll go back if there's nothing else. Because I want to see the trends of my competitors."

"Oh, come on. If you don't understand, come to me and ask. I used to be a regular tournament winner."

"Exactly."

The winner of a past tournament? That's Lord Hero. Did you leave that name at the martial arts tournament?

"Master. Will magic not be used?

Yuna has asked me that. I twist my neck.

"I don't know. I'm not going to restrict it in particular. It's up to them."

"I'm counting on you to show me magic I've never seen"

"... sounds like you"

I turn my back on the high-ranking adventurers and return to Marcus and Sakilis.

And the audience's voice grew a step louder. When I turned my gaze to the dueling field, I thought for a moment I was there Blue Blue (Spiral), the battle golem.

Of course, I'm not letting you in. A knight with full body plate mails - rather than armor with designs reminiscent of a human-shaped robot somewhere - was running to skate through the dueling fields. And there are two handgunned silhouette weapons in my hand......!

That was just the gun. It was the laser, not the electric shock bomb, that was released to keep standing. The opponent with the shield was defeated by a paralyzing electric shock, made into a hive and defeated. It was a frightening way to get hit if you didn't have a protective pendant.

Hey, I can say he's a different type of player than I've ever seen. Instead of the machine...... there seemed to be a proper person inside, and when I removed my helmet, thirty. The man's face there became dewy.

"... Who just won?

If I ask, Marcus opens his mouth, but Sakilis said it first.

"It's a mercenary named Mad Hunter."

The gaze of a maid who was a former lady turns to the tournament table at the end of the dueling field.

"Sounds like the first time you join......, honestly, you're strong him. If we keep winning..."

It could have been my third round opponent. Of course, it depends on the outcome of World War II, on me, as a madhunter mercenary who has now shown a slightly different dimension of battle.

Oh, man, next to the Holy Knight, could I hit with him? You don't seem to make it any easier, really.
