The town hall was moderately crowded with the people of Goldberg city who were waiting for the duke's speech.

The massive structure that was the town hall had the capacity to hold every Goldberg city's citizen in case of any disaster. The majestic size of this town hall was one of the largest structures in Golberg city, so much so that it could be seen from any corner of the city.

I was standing here with my crew waiting for the theme of the competition this year.

"Why are your eyes blue?" curiously asked Rudi.

"I replaced it with new ones since I got bored with the last ones."

"But I liked your old eyes." Said Rudi with an innocent expression that looked like he believed what I said.

Damn this guy really believed that I replaced my eyes with new ones. Is he that stupid or he just trusts me that much?

"No idiot, I didn't replace my eyes. I just changed the color of my eye, since I need to hide my identity." I said giving a gentle chop to his head.

"Ooooo." He said as if he understood what I said.

He probably doesn't even know why I am hiding my identity. But Rudi being an idiot is not a bad thing after all.

As I was talking with Rudi, someone from the crowd said "The duke is here.".

I looked towards the stage to find a man getting up on the stage. He was a man tall handsome man who looked like he was in his mid-thirties.

He had a well-built stature with brown hair and he had a light amount beard on his face. Now that I look at him, I can see where Agata gets her good looks from.

"Greetings Ladies and gentlemen, I Otto Werner, The duke of the Goldberg City, thank you all for gathering here.

As of now, the winter festival is around the corner, it's been a full year since the last time I stood here giving a speech like this.

As the duke of this city, I am grateful to each and every one of you for contributing to the prosperity of the Goldberg city. To celebrate the hard work of all the citizens, we hold a winter festival each year for everyone to relax and spend a happy time together as a family. A family we are as a city. ---"

His speech went on for a while about the winter festival and the various achievement of the city over the last year. After five minutes more of the speech, he got on to the topic I was patiently waiting for.

"As we are done talking about the winter festival, we will talk about the thing that every youngster is waiting for. We will talk about the main attraction of the winter festival ------------The Moon Glitter competition.

The competition that will be held this year will be --------- One on one duel tournament. But each participant will be assigned a team, it will be a team of five. The team competing against each other will send one fighter at a time to the arena, the team with the least win will be eliminated and the team with the most wins will proceed further in the tournament.

The information about all the teams and the teams that are matched up against each other will be pinned by the staff on the notice board.

There is one more piece of news that I am excited to inform you guys about...

Along with the usual prize of choosing an S rank item from the moon glitter shop, this year there will be an additional prize.

The current headmaster of the Heka-Maho magic academy is my old friend. He gave me an offer that I couldn't decline. The offer is that the winner of this year's competition will get an opportunity to get admitted in the Heka-Maho magical academy."

The following announcement made the crowd burst into cheers.

"Heka-Maho?" asked a little boy to his dad.

"It's a prestigious magic academy that has given birth to the strongest warrior and mage throughout history." Answered the dad.

It is true, Heka-Maho academy is one of the most prestigious magic academia. Even the summoned ones attend this magic academy to complete their studies.

{Author note: Grey is talking about the summoned heroes from another world. He calls them summoned ones instead of summoned heroes due to his own reasoning.}

This academy is famous for producing strong mages and warriors.

The information about the tournament was finally pinned on the notice board. But without checking it first, I waited for the crowd to disperse in front of the board. I can even wait an hour rather than standing in that suffocating crowd.

But well, I didn't have to wait an hour since the crown got smaller after waiting 10 min.

I entered the now small crowd to check the team I was assigned to. I scanned through the list of names to check which team I was assigned to.

"There is my name," said Ulrich in a muffled voice, well I have never seen him talk in loud voice. He talks in a voice that is barely audible, but yet it's somehow not inaudible.

"Grey, I am alone." Said Rudi with a depressed look.

"Aren't we all alone in life?"

"That's not what I mean!!! I am alone in the team with a bunch of strangers."

"Oh no!!, anyways." Without paying further heed to him, I started scanning through the list to find my name.

After searching through the whole list, I finally found my name. I was in the last team, the team no 16.

In my team there was—

"Oh Rai, we are on the same team," I said out loud after reading her name on my team.

Besides her, there was also Agata and idiot A on my team. There was also---

Eh?

The name of the fifth member of my team made my face twist into various expressions.

Lora Ormr----- Ormr? that means she is my cousin that will be participating in the competition.

It was the worst scenario possible......

Being in the same team means the risk of her finding out my real identity increasing significantly.

is she the only Ormr participating this time?

I looked through the list of names to find any other Ormr, there I found one more Ormr participating.

Otis Ormr----- He was in Rin's team along with Lily and Idiot B.

"Apparently, your friend will be our first opponent." Said Rai as she was looking at another paper that had information about all the team match up.

"My friend?" I asked as I stood beside her to look at the names of the team we will be fighting against first.

I realised who she was refering to as my friend when I read Frank's name among the team we will be fighting against.

The team I will be fighting against first had some interesting names.

My first match up of the tournament is against:

Team 15:

1)Killian Dirksen.

2)Jakob Werner.

3)Frank Horns.

4)Willi Braun

5)Melvin Wolfe
