The day after we made the gargoyle on the Iris and Teak Moon, today is the date of the first class of the militant tournament, the Rookie class.

... Most of all, I don't even know anyone in the Rookie class, and I don't have any players in particular who are eyeing me.

Special, I'm not even paying attention, so it's totally through posture.

So spending the day on chores, as usual, to log in at night.

When I logged into the clan home and went to the bickering room to go out and buy medicinal herbs, Manzushahua caught me.

"Twa, are you free now? You're free, right?

"I'm not free. I'm going to go get some herbs."

"I mean, it's just the usual thing, right? Then let's go watch the Rookie class."

"... I'm not interested, so call me back."

"Everyone else heard. I'm telling you nobody's going. It's not boring to go alone. Trying to get Twa and Yuki."

"Neither Yuki nor I are very interested in the Rookie class."

"To the Rookie class, not to the militant tournament in general."

Don't deny it.

"It's nothing good. For a little while, even if you hang out with me."

"That's what I'm saying..."

"That, Twa, what's wrong?

Whether it's a good time or a bad time, Yuki also seems to have logged in and come to the talking room.

Then, naturally, Yuki also eats up Manzushahua.

"Yuki, let's go back to rookie class support"

"... that's abrupt. Mr. Manzushahua."

"It's an event because of you. You can all be a little more interested."

"You don't have to go to another game, if you care, you can see it on the air."

"The festival is something to go local and have fun with!

"... um, twa, what do we do?

"Honestly, I don't really want to go"

"Twitchy, you're an insensitive one. Where's Yuki?

"Is that me?... Hmmm, looks like I could use either..."

"Then let's go check it out! Sometimes, I think I can participate actively in an event!

"... Twa, what do we do?

... As always, Manzushahua loves events.

Well, what's the matter?

"... for now, that's a pass because it's a hassle today"

"Uh."

"... well, if it's about the third place decision tomorrow and the final, I guess I can go check it out"

"Okay, I took the word! I'll definitely be there tomorrow!

"Okay, okay.... What are we gonna do today?

"Um, I'll ask other fres if they want to come with me. Bye!

As soon as his plans were set for tomorrow, Manzushahua left the talking room.

Really, you're like a chunk of action.

"... Twa, okay?

"... well, if it's a third-place decision and a final, I thought I'd take a look"

Then I'll come with you.

"Okay. So, tomorrow night, we'll watch the game."

"Yeah.... I'll get you some cooking ingredients"

"Oh. I'm gonna go buy out some herbs, too."

It passed like a storm, leave the Manzushahua thing alone.

Me and Yuki started acting to get our own errands done.

... I have to hang out with Manzushahua tomorrow, and do you want to log in during the day?

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"No. I know there's no rough weather because it's a game, but it's sunny and feels good!

"... well, yeah. Damn, you'd better calm down a little, wouldn't you?

"It's an event because of it, I don't want to have fun!

"I don't think that's a problem either..."

The next day, at a time when the Rookie Class third-place deciding match takes place.

We had boxed seats for the martial arts and were waiting for the game to begin.

After that, Manzushahua seemed to succeed in catching Teak Moon, with me and Yuki in the box seat and four people sitting in Manzushahua in Teak Moon.

Incidentally, snacks normally made by Yuki were available because they were free to bring in food.

"Manzushahua, who else?

"Dwan and his uncle concentrate on making the requested item. Iris said he was going out to raise his level."

"Right. So, I succeeded in catching Yuzuki."

"Well, like that"

"... I have a request, too"

"Well, that's not good, about a day. I'm not late for delivery."

"That's right..."

"The martial arts games can only be enjoyed today, and let's focus that way!

"... well, fine. So, what kind of player is it that's still winning in the Rookie class?

"Um, I've been watching a lot of games since yesterday, but guys, I don't know if it feels like there's any extra difference. I'm just saying Rookie, and no one seems that good."

"Yes, it's something similar to the first time."

"I can't help but have a limit of below level 40. I don't know what level 40 is, but if you play it normally, it'll be less than a month."

"... so is that. If you had some skill development, you'd be right over it."

"That sort of thing. By the time you get used to the game, you've already achieved level 40."

"... well, right? Unless you're a productive player, you'll be able to afford it in a month."

Well, that's what it would be.

Gamely, the current volume zone is after level 50.

"So you haven't seen the details of the remaining players?

"I'm watching you at last. I'm not sure we're right, but three out of four are productive."

"... hey, really?"

"Yeah, it seems so. After all, it seems easy to satisfy the Rookie Class requirements for a small number of people to increase their race level."

"... that's it, though I feel like a hole in the rules"

"Aren't we going to get better at the next tournament?

"Either way, it's not our concern."

"... is that true too? So, what's going to happen in the future?

"Yeah, first the third-place decisive battle between production jobs. After that, I want to play the finals and see the flow."

"Well, after all, you're not used to interpersonal fights in production."

"Well, that's right. Besides, even with a long history of gaming, you have the same or slightly inferior proficiency in combat skills."

"You don't have all the conditions to win that easily."

"That's what it is, Yuki. He said it wasn't easy to win."

"Either way, you start with a third-place decision.... Is it time to start?

"You've got five minutes. I'm looking forward to seeing which one wins."

"... well, whichever wins, it doesn't affect us"

"Don't say that."

As we interact loosely in the box seats, it's game start time and players come out.

Well, that gear...

"Hmm, looks like you're both bringing in rifles for a long distance"

"Well, they say it's high prevalence when it's a production job, and it's not weird, is it?

"Yes, but... when it does, will it be a shootout from a distance?

"I don't know. Neither of the main jobs seems to be gunner-based, and I think it's easier to bring them into my own time than to shoot each other."

As far as pre-disclosed jobs go, the main wepon should be spears and swords.

With this combination, spears would be more time-consuming... Now, what happens?

When the game started, we first shot each other with rifles, a situation where we waited for a chance.

It is a simple shooting battle, but therefore, the attack is undecided and glued.

In the meantime, it was Lancer who set me up first.

Use step-based skills in a row, diving into the opponent's nostrils, and attempting to inflict an intense blow by the spear.

But the other doesn't do anything that eats the attack in silence either, on the contrary, he also makes a mistake with his step skills, changing the situation from spear to sword.

The attack by the spear was not entirely decided, and I got a blow with my sword skills where I was rigid and unable to move after the move.

This damage became an effective hit and the game flow was determined.

For the rest of the time, the swordsman decides not to rush to attack Lancer in a hurry to get it back early.

As a result, the swordsman sharpened his opponent's HP first and took control of the third-place decisive battle.

"Well, twatch. What's the winning factor in this battle?

"Normally the first melee would be everything. After that, Lancer hurried and attacked, but didn't decide well, because he showed a gap to attack the other way around."

"Right. If it's a twat, how does it work?

"For starters, you'll let go of your time and get back to the rifle fight. After that, I'll take another peek at the gap and bring it into the melee."

"Oh well. It's not easy to fight people."

"That's the thing.... So, what kind of card is the final?

"Uh, more of a production job, you're a gunner. The opponent, uh, looks like a Scout."

"Is that a scout? Assassin type or scout type? Either way, your gear's gonna change."

"It is. Which, by the way, is what kind of gear?

"Assassin type is the main dagger. I have high firepower skills, and I can attack with numbers. Conversely, if you are a scout type, the main weapon is wide. You can choose the weapon that suits your taste, or you can change it depending on the situation."

"Oh well. Well, which one is it?"

"I don't know. Level 40 or below means secondary occupations, and you can't judge a skill build by occupation alone."

"Right.... Ah, the game, it looks like it's starting"

"Sounds like. Well, I wonder which wins."

"... you're curious to be here to watch the game"

"On the contrary, unless you're here to watch the game, it's not something I really care about."

"Twitch, I won't say that.... Here we go."

At the same time as the game begins, both move.

Gunner tries to go away to get his own time, but his opponent's scouting seemed a step better.

Stuffed in time at once, the scouts mount a series of attacks using daggers.

Gunners who take it seem to give up on dodging it altogether, with some damage ready and dedicated to dodging and defense.

But the scouts kept attacking and took Gunner's back the moment he used his skills.

"... apparently, you were the Assassin type"

"... I mean?

"The battle has been decided, that is."

The attack from behind by the scouts was decided and Gunner's HP went to zero.

"... it's kind of over for the finals."

"That must have been the difference in strength."

"Sure, that scout guy, you were pretty used to moving"

"Has it flown from some interpersonal game, or does it have experience in martial arts even in real life?... Well, there was too much difference in strength either way"

"... this is what happens when there is little difference in level"

"It depends on the quality of the equipment. If the quality of the equipment doesn't make a difference, it will turn out like this."

"... well, this was something I could enjoy"

After watching the game, we came back to the clan home after watching the awards ceremony.

Upon returning to the clan home, it was dissolved, and Yuki and I stayed logged out.

Rookie class, so I wasn't expecting much, but did you enjoy it there?
