Today is the final of the school-to-school match, the battle against Luke, the Hero of the Holy Sword.
Starting in the morning, adventurers I knew, including Wolffang, showed their faces and inspired me.
Heroes don't seem to be very well regarded by adventurers in the first place, so I had to laugh bitterly at many opinions that would make the heroes stop high.
As he walked out of the inn to the venue, he saw a familiar grand uncle from across the street. He seems to have noticed me and is approaching us. [M]
"Hi, Sirius. It's been a long time."
"Mr. Tanato!? It's been a long time."
Yes, I met Tanato on the lower level of the labyrinth before.
He was wearing the same black robe and a hood as he had met before.
Tanato-san is adding a skewer while seeping out the tannins. He must have eaten some skewers and enjoyed the festival.
"Thank you for your help in the Labyrinth. I was surprised when he suddenly disappeared. Why are you here?
"Haha, I'm sorry. I was in a bit of a rush at that time, so I'm sorry I left without saying hello. If you're here today, there's only one purpose. I came to see the School Confrontation Festival. I thought... but I can't believe you're really the representative and leader of Central. I've seen how brave you are."
He slapped me on the shoulder with a smile. [M]
"And today I fought you with the [brave man]. I'm not worthy and I'm excited."
"If you're expected to fight like that, you can't fight like that."
"You wouldn't worry about that, would you? Now, don't stop the finalists here. I'm looking forward to the game."
"Yes, thank you!
He put on his hood again and disappeared into the crowd.
I guess I left normally this time.
When Tanato was dropped off and reached the entrance to the arena, a familiar face flew a gun at the entrance.
I'm sure that person... is the lower end of the Labyrinth Warrior Corps who tried to capture me in the lower levels of the Labyrinth. Why are you in such a place?
When I tried to go through while wondering, I heard a loud voice directly beside me.
"Ah!!
Turning to Chilari and you, you pointed at me at the bottom and opened your eyes.
"Those children... adventurers!! What are you doing here? This is the stakeholder entrance!
I'm a little tired, but I turn to you at the bottom. [M]
At the present time of the School Confrontation Festival, the fighting capital Dominius is home to royalty, including His Majesty the King.
Normally, it is [Kensei] Lynn Swordfair, the chief of the Central White Knight's Corps, who protects the king's capital, including the royal family, but it is different during the battle capital expedition.
She is only the guardian of the King's City, and is not allowed to leave it.
The guarding of the royal family is the role of the Knights of the Guards, and the Knights of the Guards stay with the royal family in the battle capital during the Confrontation Festival.
In addition, Beatrice Wizardry, the kingdom's greatest magician and dean of our school, has joined His Majesty's protection.
Apparently, during His Majesty's school-to-school expedition, the Knights request protection from Beatrice every year.
Who is he really...?
Apart from that, during the Confrontation Festival, many times more people visit the fighting capital than usual.
There are many young people who are overconfident in their power in the fighting capital, where many of the rough people originally stay.
That's a lot of trouble.
Preventing, managing and guarding the arena… We will need more soldiers with more than certain capabilities to run this tournament.
So once a year, the Labyrinth Warriors are driven out on assignments outside the Labyrinth during the Confrontation Festival.
That's what I was told... I didn't expect to see this man again, and this is where he is.
Is the Labyrinth Corps short of talent?
"I'm a participant."
I will immediately take my student ID out of my pocket and present it to you at the bottom. [M]
At the bottom you took it and looked seriously. [M]
"Sirius... Astelle... I mean, are you--hey!?
An incredible mass of fist bones is swinging down at the bottom of your head, looking alternately at your student ID and me and trying to say something.
At the bottom, you were hit on the ground with your head pressed against it.
"Hey!! Are you judging people by their appearance again!? Or don't you remember the faces and names of the participants yet!? I'll cut your neck off!!
A muscle that looks down at you with an incredible figure. [M]
This man is certainly Warren, the deputy commander of the Labyrinth Corps.
"Long time no see, Sirius. Our idiot caused trouble again. I'm really sorry we're short of education...! But I thought you were pretty big, but I don't suppose you were a representative of Central that year... I'm sorry I stopped such an adventurer at the entrance. Come on, let's go."
Warren, who was blind and muscular, bowed his head politely and guided me to the arena.
"Hey, Abel! You don't need entrance security anymore! There's nothing I can do to help you out here, so find me an asshole captain while I'm walking around!
"Ha, yes!!
Behind me was your voice at the bottom, similar to Warren's screams and screams, and I headed to the waiting room.
When I entered the waiting room, Senpai Theon and Senpai Kristel talked pleasantly while drinking tea - no, at first glance it seemed calm, but there was a tingling and nervous feeling in the waiting room.
Good morning, Senpai Theon, Senpai Kristel.
Hello, Sirius. Good morning.
Good morning, Mr. Sirius.
The flow of energy and magic between the two reveals that they are sharpening their nerves more than ever before.
Nearly no energy or magic is leaking out of the body, which means you are concentrating on your strength.
"Fufu, Sirius seems to be very motivated. I look forward to today."
I've been focusing since the morning. [M]
Senpai Theon smiled happy at me. [M]
While passing Senpai Zion's warm gaze, we will reconfirm the operation with both of you in the margins until the match begins.
That said, it is very simple to do.
"Well, that's the plan. [Hero] Of course, the two ladies of the members also seem to have very high abilities, so let's not be alarmed."
"Oh, let me handle it."
"I'll do my best."
The two of you can rest assured that you're on your back.
We hit each other with our fists and walked to the finals.
