To Be a Power in the Shadows!

At the dawn of the week, qualifying for the Martial Arts Festival began.

I watch the game in the arena audience with Hyoro. The sun is still high and the guests are sparse. Well, this is what qualifying is all about. Or better yet, he is.

As a matter of fact, I fought two games yesterday. Not in the arena, but in the meadows around it. Yeah, the first and second rounds of qualifying take place in the meadows outside the King's Capital. There is no audience. The quality of the opponent is also terrible. I won both fights by letting myself faint at the right Lariat. It was empty.

And it's finally the arena from Game 3. So far, the quality of the game has reached a critical level. I don't have many customers, but I think it's as good as being around. The production of the Martial Arts Festival comes from the main battle.

"Speaking of which, where's Jaga?

I asked Hyoro who was taking notes. [M]

He said he was plowing fields at his parents' house.

"I see."

Hyolo eagerly takes notes as he watches the game. Holy Sword necklace on his neck. A souvenir I bought in the sanctuary. [M] I'm glad you used it. But more than that, I wondered what that taste was.

"What are you doing?"

"We're collecting battle data. Amateurs take part in betting on account, but I'm not. aggregate data, take statistics, and bet based on probabilities"

"Hmm."

I stole Hyoro's note. [M]

It said 'Probably strong', 'Probably weak', 'I don't know'.

"A bet is a total win."

I say it well while Hyoro takes notes.

"It is."

"Amateurs won one game. We lost. We gamble. But I'm not. I'm not obsessed with winning or losing a game. Increase the number of attempts, converge the odds, and win by ten games."

"Ho."

"Because I'm a total winner..."

"Wow."

I was absent. [M]

"Interesting story."

That's when a young man appeared from behind me.

"Was there an interesting story or something?

"Even if it did."

To my question, the gorgeous handsome blonde answered nicely.

"Oh, you...!

"Do you know, Hyoro?

"Are you Goldo Kinplated, the undefeated myth!?

To Hyoro's sparkling eyes, Mr. Gordo answered with his hair raised.

"Those two names are embarrassing. Will you call me Changsheng Jinlong Goldo Kinplated?

"Yes! Mr. Changsheng Kim Ryu Gordo!

I guess I prefer undefeated mythology. [M]

"Are you aggregating battle data?

"Yes!"

"Prospect, yes. I also need to aggregate battle data."

"Oh really?!?

"Oh. Always to win..."

"Kaki-kun! Can I talk to you?

"Oh, boy, just a little bit."

I felt like it was going to be pretty long.

My turn is approaching, and it's just in time.

"I'm gonna go pussy"

"Just go."

I disguised myself in the bathroom and headed to the athlete's office. [M]

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

Hyoro had eagerly listened to the ever-winning theory of ever-winning Golden Dragon Goldo Kinplated.

"For example. Let's use the next match as an example."

"Yes!"

Players were being called to fight just next in the arena.

"Match 12 of Game 3! Gonzalez vs. Jimina Seinen!

Two demon swordsmen face each other.

"In my theory, I know how strong I am before I fight. First of all, Gonzalez. The strength of the physical can be analyzed if we look at his muscle balance. Aura tells me she's a fierce warrior from her glances and her disgusting expression. Look, his battle power is 1364."

"Ba, battle power!? What is it? It!

"It analyzes aggregated battle data and quantifies combat power. Battle Power 1364 is not a bad number."

"Wow!

"Jimina Seinen against... Hmm"

Changsheng Jinlong Goldo Kinplated stared at Jimina with a sharp eye and silenced.

"Duh, what's wrong?

"No... too. But... this is..."

"Go, Dr. Gordo?

"Oh, I'm sorry. Something I did."

"No way, that Jimina is so......!?

"Oh that man...... Jimina Seinen is... an awesome miscellaneous fish!

Changsheng Jinlong Gordo Kinplated laughed as he buffled out.

"Huh...? Miscellaneous fish?"

"Yes! I don't know how I could have won until Game Three! Did it happen even by miracle?

"Yay, it does seem weak..."

"A weak face, a weak body, and a weak aura! Jimina's battle power is 33! Ha-ha-ha. As a demon swordsman, that's the worst line."

"So is it a Gonzalez win?

"Oh, it must be instant killing. There's nothing to see in this game."

And the game started.

Gonzalez was the first to move.

Stuffed in time with agility that doesn't suit a muscular giant, Jimina slashes him.

The move was out of the group in Game 3. It doesn't seem a mistake that Gordo regarded himself as a fierce warrior.

Jimina can't even react to Gonzalez's slaughter.

Everyone was convinced of Jimina's defeat.

But the next moment.

Gonzalez cocked.

I fell right in front of Jimina.

And as it was, he hit his head on the ground and fainted.

The venue quieted down. No, everyone thought you'd just stand up.

But Gonzalez didn't even move with Pickle.

Jimina surrenders her sword and returns her heel, and the referee finally reacts.

"Shit, winner Jimina Seinen!

"Heh... I'm kidding!!

"Give me my money back, you idiot!!

Booing pours down on Gonzalez, who has fainted.

Hyoro had trouble reacting and saw the face of ever-winning Golden Dragon Goldo Kinplated.

"Well, here's the thing."

Let me pull my cheeks a little. Changsheng Golden Dragon Goldo Kinplated said.

"I can predict wins and losses with battle data. But there is absolutely no battle. Have you studied?

"Did the teacher also predict this result...?

"Huh..."

Evergreen Golden Dragon Goldo Kinplated doesn't smile and talk much.

"Let me tell you something good"

"Huh...?

"There are two ways to win a bet. One is to look for the strong and bet on the strong. The other is to look for the weak and bet on their opponents"

Changsheng Jinlong Gordo Kinplated stands up and turns his back.

"Tomorrow's Game Four, Game Six is the ever-winning Golden Dragon Goldo Kinplated vs. Jimina Seinen"

"Heh... I mean!

Changsheng Jinlong Gordo Kinplated looks back and points to Hyoro.

"Have you solved the victory equation?

And then he lifted up his sparkling blonde hair and walked away.

"Or..."

Hyoro suddenly dropped off the ever-winning Golden Dragon Goldo Kinplating.

"I'm getting sick of it"

The brunette boy returned to his seat.

"Hey Sid! There's a game tomorrow you can definitely win, let's make the best bet!

"Oh, no."

"Fine, think you've been fooled!

"Oh, no."

"Chip, that's fine. I don't care if you regret it later.

And the two watched the game for a while and went back to the dorm.
