The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start over.

Staying on the Floating Island of Apolito as a teacher, I was abruptly awarded the title of 'Baron'.

Anything, he said, was recognized for stopping Her Majesty's attempted assassination and for his contribution in providing magical guidance to the Apolito army.

Apparently, the official ceremony will be held later, but as news from all over Apolito's floating island, they told me that I had become a baron. Again, you felt like you were becoming a celebrity.

Well, that was it, and that day finally came.

Selection competition for the Twelve Knights of the Apolito Army combined with the filling of vacancies.

It's a tournament that determines the twelve strongest knights of today, and in short, we're talking about competing for combat technology to win the top prize.

I am also a stranger, because I am well entered, so I will not worry about whether or not I can join now. Nominally, it's tattooed by the Grand Duke of Targia, Apolito's number 2, so there's no reason to complain.

I don't know how long we will stay in this era, but if we are also at the top of the Twelve Knights, we will have access to the Apolito Army's secrecy, and we will be able to act fairly freely. Use it also to bring back information such as magical civilization weapons, especially magic machines.

Under me, the knights who taught magic also dream of joining tomorrow's Twelve Knights. Bulls, leos, kruffs, etc. Though for a short period of time, they are considerably more capable of magical relationships.

First, as a qualifier, participants are divided into eight groups. We play a total win in that qualifying round, and the winner of the qualifying group pawns into the final league. So we compete with fourteen of the twelve knights in office, and by the top nine, we can be twelve knights.

It should be noted that the Knights Commander, the White Knights and the Black Knights are fixed, so they will not compete in the Games.

"All right, guys, the qualifying group's falling apart for good!

Looking at the roster of qualifiers, the bull broke up with each other.

"If you're in the same group as Jin, you can't win!

"Totally."

And it was Leos who agreed. Meanwhile, Kruff, who is my squire, shook his head to the side.

"This kind of thing can keep the same group from bumping into each other."

I mean, it's unlikely we'll bump into each other in the qualifying round from the start.... No, no, it's Kruff.

"About two knights I teach, they're in the same group as me?

……

Kruff closing to that allegation. Bull and Leos also turned a blind eye to say something.

"… that's the tendency."

Mr. Kruff excuses himself for something like that. Well, because of the number of people, it can be the same group.

"See you guys in the final league!

If the bull raised his voice, his buddies, who have been drilling with him from time to time, also replied 'yes'.... friendship!

That's why we qualify first. The final league will be held at the Circular Arena on the Floating Island of Apolito, No. 5, with a selection competition.

However, the qualifications will be held in the exercise area on each island and in the square. The scene the knights admire, but at the same time it seems to be a festival for the Islanders, where the venue is equipped with guest seats and a further outdoor shop conducts business around it.

Unexpectedly, the Apolito floating island civilization has monitors, as well as television relays. That's super ancient civilization.

The large monitor near the venue also showed the relay of other venues, in the presence of people who could not get in, etc., which was bullshit.

I was in qualifying group eight. The qualifying round is contested by eight. So if you win all seven fights, you win without complaining.

"- Blue, gin ami wool!

Called, so I jump on top of a circular ring. The opponent then appears.

"Red, Jack Ryder!

He's a big swordsman. As for the type, is it close to bull?

"Okay, here we go!

The referee declared and cheered from the guest seat.

The rules are to fight as one. Stun your opponent or gib him up and you win.

Jack Ryder shook up the great sword and ran into it.

The weapon he has is for a bladeless exercise. This is such that when it hits the target, the shock is transmitted. Even though they are dropped to such an extent that they do not kill, if the blow is strong, the shock transmitted is also stronger and it is possible to blow each person away.

Participants are equipped with forehead protection. I'm wearing that too.

Put a layer of magic on your hands. A blow swung down from the top would be a stun if it hit your head, no matter how much for an exercise or a forehead hit with defensive magic.

... but it doesn't hit me.

I play by my hand next to the sword that has been swung down, shifting the slash away. A sword hit the floor, and in front of my arm, there was Jack Ryder's face.

"Blow it up!"

If you hit the shockwave magic in the face, Jack Ryder flew out of the ring.

As for magic, the magic you use is free. However, it is imposed as a rule to add or subtract from killing the target.

Burns, fractures, etc. can be healed by healing magic, so the damage to that extent is OK. Immediate attack magic means out.

"Jack Ryder, Stun! Winner, blue, gin ami wool!

The referee raised his hand and a twist rose from the audience. Maybe ten seconds from the start. It must be something like this.

I saw the broadcast of the other qualifying as well in the modem, and it looks like each of the three Bulls is winning.

In the course of that day, more and more qualifying progresses. If I watch it for a second, my next game will come and I'll head out to the venue.

"Shisei, Gun Valley!

Gregna El was heard from the guest seat. If you look at it, Hal was with you. The cool thing about the teacher, let me show you!

The opponent is a warrior with a one-handed axe in each hand. With the start of the game, I was a little surprised that it accelerated with unchanging magic... too bad, it's too late.

A layer of magic in his hand blew each axe out of the warrior's hand and as he grabbed his opponent's face with his right hand during the blink, he slammed it straight to the floor.

"Whoa!!

When the audience raised their voices, the referee saw their stun and declared my victory.

"Shisei, sugai! It's an instant kill!

Gregna El was in the guest seat. Naturally, I thought you said. Hal has a face.

Sorry, it's a tournament that digests all the qualifying in one day, so it's best to just get it over with to keep your health warm.

At that rate, the qualifying proceeded, crisp and digestive, with those who had already seen it impossible to win waivers of the game.

In other venues, as a result of his ability to antagonize and play muddy games, he became butterfly in the second half of the tempo, and in other places he couldn't help but notice from the winning contest.

It should be noted that my Preliminary Group VIII had been turned into just a digestive match, with me winning all by myself.

At the end of all qualifying days, I decided to compete in the final league with all wins. Leos and Kruff also won, but Bull couldn't make it to the final league with second place in that qualifying group.
