Unlimited World - 90% of the battle for productive jobs is ready

"Yay. I'm back now."

Since the game was over, I came to a viewing space where everyone from the Library was.

When you're done qualifying yourself, you don't have to be in the modest room.

"Oh. Welcome home, Illis. That was a winner you could afford."

"Yeah, well, I figured even if I win, I'd struggle a little harder."

I thought Yuzuki and Manzushahua would struggle a little harder.

But there were few elements to struggle with, weren't there?

"As for the contents of the game, it was mostly an unfolding Dompisha that Twa took care of. So maybe there was some leeway."

"I see. The experience of the beta age is alive, is that right?

Dwan asks me while I do my hand on my chin, but I'm not sure that's it.

However, as for Twa, he told me 'what to do about the hard things if I get hit'.

Though I've never usually seen you practice interpersonal fights, Twa who can have all those measures is still amazing.

"So, what's Iris going to do after this?

Manzushahua asks me what I plan to do after this.

But I'm pretty tired, too, and I want to rest.

"Um, I think it's going to be a continuation of the qualifying round after this, so do you want to take a little break?

"Right. Preliminaries are two games at the same time, but I guess we can still get some rest."

Yuzuki told me about my current progress.

Sure, was qualifying two simultaneous games each in all six games?

"We're about to start Game Five and Game Six, so we're good for about twenty minutes. If you're back at the raffle for the final tournament, I'm sure you won't have a problem."

Manzushahua told me what's going on, and you look fine.

"Right. Well, I guess I'll just log out a little bit."

"Yeah, there you go. It's just that this is the final battle we're about to start, so you can't relax very much."

"I know. Yo. See you later."

I logged out and took a short break.

At that time, my sister was there, and when I talked about going through the qualifying round, she was happy and supportive.

Yeah, we have to work hard on the final tournament!

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

When I logged in again after a short break, I was just about to finish game six.

It's a raffle for the finals after this game, isn't it?

"Ah, Illis. The last game is almost over. You're just fine."

"Yeah. I'm glad it sounded like a good time."

Besides Manzushahua, who spoke to me, Teak Moon and Dwan also seemed to remain in the viewing space.

They have no rush business so far, and they're going to keep watching the game today and tomorrow.

"This game was pretty funny. Minor-equipped players like gunners and ax fighters are winning."

"Surely, axe use is rare, isn't it? If it's a people-to-people fight, is it still hard to handle?

"Me, too, because the axe is a subwepon. However, it seems that heavy weapons are difficult to hit."

Teak Moon and Dwan are rigging weapons.

Speaking of which, were you not among my opponents for using an axe, regardless of the gun of a ranged weapon?

"That's right. I only use bows, but other weapons are a lot of trouble with other weapons."

"Mm-hmm. Because every weapon gives me a scum. For example, if it is an axe, the tip is heavy, so a centrifugal force is applied when shaking it out. Therefore, when it hits, it becomes more powerful, but when it is removed, it is easier to lose balance. This trait is not with you when you wield a long weapon."

"That's right. So, what about the mace that Dwan uses a lot?

"Mm-hmm. Mace has a heavier tip, too. So if you don't control it well, you'll be with the axe. However, Mace doesn't have blade parts like an axe, so it's easier to handle."

I see.

Sure, if it's an axe, it might be harder than a mace because you have to worry about the blade part and beat it up.

You don't expect me to move around because it's about time I cut down tree-based monsters.

Oops, the axe also registers weapons, but it doesn't look like it's coming up......

"Mm-hmm. I'm bringing an axe into the subwebon, too, but shouldn't I use it?

"Right. If you can manage without using it, you better not be able to. Twa didn't say anything?

"Twa said something like, 'If it's a sure time to hit it, it'll work, but if it isn't, tow it with a bow' -"

"Hmm. The decision that Twa doesn't need to be used aggressively either? Then you'd better follow Twa's words."

"Right. The axe is a last resort."

It also decided how to use the axe, which had not been decided how to handle it.

Around the same time, the cheer grew louder.

"Game six is over!! The winners are Shift and Rain!!

The name of the winning player was given in live audio.

I didn't see what the game was about... well, you have no choice.

'With just the game, the qualifying round is over! We'll start the final tournament raffle in half an hour! All contestants must be logged in!

"It looks like the raffle is still ahead of us. Iris, what do we do?

Dwan asked me, but you don't have anything to do with it, do you?

"Um, I'll just wait till the raffle."

"Right. I'll let you go back to your clan home."

"I wonder if I'll stay. What about Yuzuki?

"I'm going back to the clan home, too. I'll see you later."

"Yeah. Bubba-yi"

I dropped off Yuzuki and Dwan back at the clan home, and Manzushahua and I stayed in the viewing space.

"Hmm. Iris, do you think we can win after this?

"I don't know. I'm not gonna lose easily, but I'm not very good at exercising."

"... I don't think so."

When I told him I couldn't exercise, he denied it.

I don't mean to be bad, but I don't think I'm good at it.

"By the way, who do you think Iris is no better at than?

"Twas and iron ghosts."

"... Illis, that's not a good match for comparison"

"Really? If you're close, aren't those two?

"They've been training martial arts since they were kids in real life, and you can't compare them."

I don't know. Even though it's perfect for them.

"Anyway, you want to think about this later?"

"Right.... Well, all of a sudden I just have to pray not to hit him with a strong opponent"

"Damn luck is one of your strengths, right?"

So I chatted with Manzushahua until the raffle began.

Don't be too nervous. I could have spent some time, and I guess thank Manzushahua.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

'Thank you all for waiting! We will now begin the militant tournament Jazz Class Final Tournament Draw!!

The raffle began with Live's call.

On stage are the twelve who won the qualifying round and the iron ghosts who were seeds...... I wonder if it was Takikoya.

The story is that Twa, who was number one last time, did not participate, and the person who was number two stopped.

So there are only two seed frames in this class, right?

'Well, that's the first draw! Match 1......'

Oh, the lottery has begun.

Out of all four, the first round will be fought only by us qualifying passers.

The second round is coming in for both of Seeds.

Well, what kind of opponent am I going to fight?

"It's the next draw! Game three winner Iris, please!

It's my turn now.

So far, there are no contenders.

Well, what happens to me?

'The Illis player has pulled the fourth card! Here comes the second game!!

Well, where we haven't decided on an opponent yet?

Um, we'll just have to keep seeing how it goes.

After that, the draw goes on and on, and the match cards are decided, but my opponent didn't decide until the end.

I mean, one of the winners of Game Six...

"The final match card is also decided -! The second game was a battle between Illis and Shift -!

Mr. Shift? - He was definitely a gunner, wasn't he?

My game is like a battle between distance jobs.

"Are you Mr. Iris? You're shorter than I heard the rumors."

When I was thinking about the game, I was talked to by one of the players who won.

You're naturally taller than me, but it's like halfling from ear shape.

... Even in the same race, your physique varies greatly when your original height is different.

"Uh, who?

"Whoa, you're late for a name. It's a shift to fight in the first round. Greetings."

"Nice to meet you. But how did you figure me out?

"The members of the Library are famous. I've seen it on SS."

What's so frightening?

... but we're famous, and normal enough for SS (screenshots) to come out, huh?

"Well, we fight in the first game...... Let's do everything we can for each other. The timing is too good for a winning member to hit two of the main distance players early."

"Right. Good luck to each other."

"Oh, let's do that. Bye."

At the end of the raffle, all the athletes had moved on to thoughtful action.

Did some people already leave the venue behind to talk to opponents like Mr. Shift did earlier, to see how the whole thing went, or to say that the number of people is down?

"Ooh, Illis. How'd it go with them?

Now the Iron Ghost has arrived.

Iron Ghost is the first seed, so you don't have a game today, do you?

"Hmm, normal?

"... well, you said you didn't have any features. Come and win harder than that."

"I'm going to do my best because I'm here, but why?

I don't mean to lose easily, but why?

"Win it up to the semifinals and you'll be in a fight with me!

Damn, if we win each other up to the semifinals, we're going to compete with the Iron Ghost.

"The Iron Ghost is already a prerequisite for winning -?

"Sort of. I've strengthened my gear and skills, and it's not easy to break my guard."

Sure, it's not easy to attack beyond the Iron Ghost's protection.

"Oh well. But I guess I'm tough, too, huh?

"You'd have one or two hidden balls. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the game."

The Iron Ghost gently stroked my head before leaving.

Treat me like a child again!

After the Iron Ghost left, no one spoke to me, so I stepped off the stage.

The final tournament starts at night, so don't delay!
