Mob, if I were a high school student, could I be an adventurer, too, Leah?

"Wow, that was tough. I'm watching. I'm chilling out here."

At the end of my conversation with Ono, when I got to my seat, it was the East-West combination that was the first to talk to me.

When Nishida said that while slapping me on the shoulder, Higashino also laughed, "I'm so relieved to go to Narikin."

"Ah, ah.... you know."

"But I didn't know Malo was an adventurer. That's what you said about those part-time pickled days."

"When exactly did you start?

I'm sorry I kept my mouth shut about being an adventurer, it was me trying to say that but I got pushed away by the flow of conversation.

Answer Nishida's question for now.

"Uh, about the end of October."

"Seriously, isn't it recent?"

"Still two stars, that's awesome. I don't know, it's a lot harder just going from one star to two, isn't it?

"Ah, oh. There are many places where the F-rank labyrinth can be attacked on a day trip, but because the E-rank labyrinth can really be a stay-at-home offense. A lot of traps."

"Huh, that's tough."

"I knew you didn't have a job where you could have fun and make money."

"So, what kind of card does Malo have?"

Nishida makes her eyes shine and asks.

Higashino took control of Nishida as I tried to retrieve the card from it.

"Come on, we can watch it on TV for Christmas anyway, so let's wait till then."

"Oh, so is that. You mean, are you okay? I'm going to the tournament so that Ono can guide me."

"Oh... to be honest, there are some things I don't like, but I also think it's a good opportunity"

When he said so scratching his cheek, Higashino nodded as he was convinced.

"Well... well, you're looking professional."

"The guys in my class are half funny, but we're serious because we're here for you. Good luck with that."

"Thanks......"

My breasts got just a little hot for heartfelt support from my friends.

He says he kept his mouth shut about becoming an adventurer, but he treats me the same. They couldn't, but they were definitely good.

"By the way, is it actually going to win for a bit or so?

"Best 4...... even if you can't, do you think you can win World War II or so?

"Idiot! Stop pressuring me. It'd be pathetic if we lost the first round, wouldn't it?

"Oh, yeah, sorry Marlo"

"You guys..."

I let my cheeks pull to the bad friends who actually looked as if they weren't expecting me while I told them I was there for them.

Hum and snort, laughing at Nihil.

"Well, look at that. I'll show you my power."

"Wow! Lian Huamo ~ n, the guys in my class are mean ~"

After school. When I arrived at the labyrinth, I called Lianhua and held her. Stick your face to your stomach.

All of a sudden it was Lianhua with a glimpse into her eyes, but she immediately seemed to understand the situation.

"I can't help it, Malo. I'm fat. What the hell is going on this time?

Lianhua says as she strokes my head.

"It's just a tease, so..."

I said it with my mouth, and then I told him what happened today in turn.

That there was something wrong with the air in the classroom when I went to school in the morning. That I was being spontaneously scattered about being an adventurer. That disgusting people have been involved. Good to have repelled it, but to have been inducted by a central figure in the class called Ono to enter the Games of Moncolo.

When he heard the general revelation, Lianhua said as if he was frightened.

"I see, that's why I'm going to the tournament. You are so stupid. It's like a pig climbing a tree."

"Don't say that. Help me! If you stay like this, you'll lose your place in class."

"I don't have a choice. In that case, here it is!

That's what Lianhua took out of her sleeve was a straw doll.

..................... Huh?

Unexpectedly return to vegetables.

"Seated child straw doll ~...... om (on) · Mahaashriye (makasiliei) · Svaahaa (sowaka)"

Lianhua suddenly started casting spells in a low voice after only doing the first Dora-O-Mong-style voice imitation.

The straw doll emitted a black light only for a moment, it looked like it.

"Phew, now I've got a curse on a classmate who's been mean to Maroo Taikun."

"What?

"The Curse of Leaking Cock on a Full Train"

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Oh, seriously, I didn't curse you, did I? You're kidding, right?

Cards cannot be used outside the labyrinth, nor can they be affected outside the labyrinth. Experiments have proven that even if the enemy is hung abnormally in the labyrinth, it will be released if it exits the labyrinth.

No way, it's also a rumored [curse card]... it should be okay, right?

But I didn't have the courage to ask the truth.

"Honestly, well, that's about it for the joke. You want to try harder to win the tournament than you're supposed to."

"That's okay, though. Don't you have a choice not to answer that? Are you ignoring the guys in your class?

"Well, if it really sucks, so does that. Honestly, the prize is fascinating."

I showed Lianhua the paper that printed HP for the tournament.

"Which one? One from 16 D-rank cards in the remaining stages in the top four. Trophies and female vampires for the winner?... I see."

"Woman vampires usually do 70 or 80 million. If this is a guy's vampire or some other C-card, I'm not gonna push him out."

"If we can win, we can rank Eliza up."

"Oh, we're really in the shape of a strain on Eliza. I want to reward you with this."

Listening to me, Lianhua raised her forehead and sighed small.

"You're weak too when it comes to Eliza. Ok, I'll do everything I can to help you."

"Oh, thank you"

"So? Do you have a specific plan?

"Oh, let's start with the rules of the tournament..."

I started explaining to Lianhua.

The tournament takes place in a win-win tournament, and the game format is adapted with standard rules.

In the battle at Moncolo, there are one-on-one duels, three-on-three standards, and expert rules that fight dozens of decks together, making the standard rules the most popular way.

Under the standard rules, athletes register a deck consisting of ten cards in advance. In the game, we pick three pieces out of the deck and fight. Enough time per game. Defeat is confirmed if the Master receives a Direct Attack or loses all cards on the field. If no settlement is reached after game time, the higher number of cards surviving will be won or lost at the technical points set by the referee in the same number of cases.

Only demonic items can be brought in. However, it can be used up to five times during the tournament. It shall also be limited to use during the match. Simply put, there is a potion, but no tear spray.

"And well, in tournament-style competitions like this, it's important to see how we can win without reducing the number of decks. It's important that you get your original members out at any time."

"As it stands, three in Atashi, Yuki and Eliza? That's gonna be the point of deciding what to do with the other seven."

... No, that Lianhua. One more piece. We have a regular.

"The tournament is only twenty days away. As far as I'm concerned, I think it's tough to force all ten. Work out the first three pieces to the limit to rank the imp up to D-rank. I think it would be a realistic line to fill the rest with an e-rank card with a piece of art."

"Hmm..."

Lianhua thought of my words for a moment.

"You know, there's a hand in selling Amrita to get ready for battle, right?

Oh, I see. Do you naturally answer that question?

"No, Amrita wants to keep it insured. Just in case one of you loses it."

With 100 million, we can resuscitate everyone, including Lianhua. This was the biggest reason I decided to participate in the tournament.

Especially if this is really Amrita.

It was something I could tell by one shot if I appraised it, but I'm not going to dare appraise it to have a sense of crisis that I might lose members.

"I see... if that's the case, I have nothing to say."

Lianhua pulled back lightly when she heard my explanation.

"All right, then we're gonna be busy. The goal is to break at least five E-rank Labyrinths!

From that day on, our days of furious Labyrinth attack began.

Buy information about the labyrinth in advance in the Alliance and attack it by choosing one of the E-rank labyrinths that is shallow and easy to attack.

The E-rank Labyrinth tread reward is tiered by 20,000. The information fee is about 20,000 yen for maps, types of traps, and information on emerging monsters. Even the shallowest eleven tier labyrinth receives a fixed salary of 200,000 per.

I broke through this shallow labyrinth of eleven to thirteen tiers on a holiday, a couple of days on a weekday.

Travel across the Yuki saves time and health. Still, I found that fatigue gradually builds up in my body even after restoring strength with the magic of Rest to impossible labyrinth treads.

Meanwhile, a little bit of talk was spreading about me going to the tournament at school.

I felt my gaze just walking down the hallway, and I also heard someone whispering about me. Teachers are looking forward to hearing from you.

The majority of those were things like curiosity and support, but a small percentage also felt malicious.

If I were to show up unusual in the tournament, their unseen malice would actually rip their fangs off. The pressure seemed to creep on my shoulders.

I didn't feel comfortable at school, and while fatigue accumulated, I became more and more impatient every day.

Look at me like that, my classmates eyes are changing a little bit.

Initially, it felt like watching a guinea pig before an experiment or a clown before a stage performance gradually changed into a watchful gaze.

The first people to speak up were from the athletic department, who taught me gymnastics, massages, fruits, etc. to take fatigue.

Apparently, it overlapped me now with myself in a pre-tournament push.

The East-West combination also helped. He gathered information about the athletes who said they were going to the tournament online and compiled their hands and stuff.

The information on the rivals who were opaque gave me clearer goals. I was greatly inspired by the face-to-face cards I saw as a winning candidate in particular.

In the meantime, I made a total of nine E-rank Labyrinth breakthroughs in the lead up to the Games. The total number of hierarchies is 106 hierarchies. The tread reward was 2.12 million yen, minus the information fee, to 1.94 million yen.

Sold this with a collection of demonic stones and magic props I got on the road, cards I don't need, for 1.46 million yen. A further 2.3 million yen was added to the Carbuncle Garnet.

A total of 5.7 million. My total savings amounted to 6.6 million.

This was about the same price as the card I was after.

The name of that card is Empusa. A dreamer appearing in Greek mythology, she is a beautiful woman supposedly with brass legs, bat feathers and donkey horse tails.

It's just the same line as Sacubas, and it's one of the most popular D-rank cards. Thanks to that, he did 6.5 million, even though he didn't have any busy skills.

I broke through the labyrinth at such a high pace because I really wanted this card by the tournament.

Empusa is one of the cards that Imp can rank up.

To win the tournament, the main force is too little for three. I really wanted to add another card to it.

Give her a synergy with Lianhua, her greatest power......

To her ranked up from Imp to Empusa, I decided to give her a name.

Its name is Meir. It's an old English word for a dreamer. I thought about where the imp was going to evolve, but because what I did to Empusa confirmed that I was going for Sacubas, I decided to make it a name along those lines.

This is her status now.

[Race] Empusa (Meir)

[Combat Power] 205 (65 UP!

[Innate Skills]

· Absorption: Absorbs and stores the subject's magic and vitality.

· Invitation to Dreams: Powerful sleeping magic can be used.

-Three Kinds of Changes: I can transform from the figure of a beautiful woman into three figures: a dog, a cow, and a donkey horse.

[Acquired Skills]

-The little devil's heart.

-The mind all the way.

· Friendship collaboration

· Primary Wizard Apprentice

Primary Wizard: Can use all simple magic.

The fighting power is already 65 UP because it was able to take over the increased fighting power in the Imp era. Also, all acquired skills, the innate skills took over the elementary wizard apprenticeship and were able to absorb the elementary attack magic that Empusa originally had to grow his skills.

Actually, I tried to rank up the appropriate F-rank cards to the E-rank cards before I ranked up Meir, but that one couldn't take over any of my increased combat power or acquired skills.

I heard that the takeover of ranking up depends on luck and usage, but usage seems more important than expected.

I'm going to use this as a reference for ranking up other cards.

Anyway, this is all I can do.

All you have to do is run out of strength.

That's how game day came.

- Monster Coliseum.

It's a new sport where adventurers use each other's cards to fight.

The beginning in the first place was the beginning of the labyrinth of the Tokyo Dome in the Second Angola.

The Tokyo Dome has a rather special structure as a labyrinth, which only leaves the Lord in one day.

Thus, as long as we defeated it, we had no problem playing events, but we just couldn't play baseball and other events in the labyrinth, and the Tokyo Dome turned out to be a huge box.

As a new dome, baseball manages to make the most of one of Tokyo's icons, the Tokyo Dome.

When he thought about it, the governor saw that the Italian Colosseum was still labyrinthine, working with the Alliance to transform the Tokyo Dome into a monster coliseum.

Initially there were criticisms, but this ended in great success.

Whatever, it's the monsters that were supposed to be fantastic until just a little while ago that are a spectacle.

Fantasy creatures such as elves and dragons, sometimes gorgeous, sometimes stripping their fangs to kill each other, enthusiastic people.

The "Gladiator," which is also televised as every day and broadcast every Friday night at 9: 00, has become a super-popular show that currently continues to monopolize viewership, sometimes meaning professional adventurers will fight until they lose each other's cards.

An adventurer who lives around a Coliseum game is called a gladiator, but that's so much so that this show comes from.

Other conceptual changes, such as "Catfight" exclusively for girl monsters and "The Professional Eggs" exclusively for three-star adventurers, are broadcast every day with a change of day and time.

This time I'm out, "Gather, student adventurer! Who's the supernova! 'is also a show planned by The Professional Eggs for their Christmas special.

Viewability seemed to attract a lot of attention because of the rather offensive plan to make the 'Gladiators' backshow, but still let the students below high school play card battles, albeit kill each other.

This time, a total of 68 students participated in the following departments: Participation was narrowed down to this number as a result of not coming on the same day or withdrawing participation on the way.

Considering the low number of adventurers below high school students in the first place, I'd say a good number have gathered.

…………………………………………

That day. I was waiting quietly for my turn in a room at the Tokyo Dome Hotel.

Exactly what should be called a Christmas special, the show lavishly prepared a room at the Tokyo Dome Hotel for each athlete.

I guess it's the idea of poorly putting athletes in trouble with each other in the same space.

We risk losing expensive cards, and we're not paying an appearance fee, but we're in. To win, it wouldn't be strange for a guy to come out and do anything to stay in the top four at least.

In order to avoid possible interference between athletes, the opponents fighting are also not known until just before.

Well, there are times that this couldn't have been decided beforehand because I don't know if the athletes would really be here until the day.

By now, artificial intelligence would be making a booming combination based on the data entered.

I took out the cards I was going to use in the first round.

One is Eliza.

[Race] Gooler (Eliza)

[Combat Power] 200 (60 UP! MAX!)

[Innate Skills]

- Living corpses

-The idiotic power of a fire place.

- Corpse eater

[Acquired Skills]

-Absolute obedience

-Sexual moves

- Pheromones

-Accidental attack

- Quiet minds

-Shield

-Play (NEW!): Has a certain knowledge and skill in performance techniques. Positive correction to actions when specific actions are taken.

· Untrap (NEW!): Has a certain knowledge and skill in untying traps. Positive correction to actions when specific actions are taken.

Combat power reached its growth limit, gaining skills in playing and untracking. Not a skill that leads directly to battle power, but a bunch of her skills have helped me a lot with my high-pace labyrinth offense.

In this tournament, where Direct Attack leads to immediate defeat, she will be a stammering contestant with the skills to shelter.

The other two chose the best of the E-rank cards for their skills.

[Race] Nightmare

[Combat Power] 60.

[Innate Skills]

-Dreamer's Use: Dreamer's Use Demon. Powerful absorption can only be used in subjects with sleep conditions.

[Acquired Skills]

Signal blocking

[Race] Xandman

[Combat Power] 70.

[Innate Skills]

-Sleep Sand: Sand that drops what you touch into sleep.

[Acquired Skills]

-State anomaly enhancement: Strengthens the state anomaly.

· Preemptive Attack: Strong positive correction for first action.

When I was attacking the E-rank Labyrinth, the most impressive enemy was this Xandman and Nightmare combination.

These guys have excellent acquired skills among them, Xandman fell asleep Mere, who had just become Empusa, and Nightmare's blockade of signs could not be noticed except by Yuki.

It's not a combination that can be used many times, but as a first sight, I saw enough.

In my head, I repeat the simulation of the battle over and over.

It was closer to paranoia than I could tell the opponent's power of war, but the aim was to enable smooth action by imagining the pattern that worked best many times.

And that's when I got a call to the exterior of the room.

"Yes."

"Dear North River, please be prepared as the match is approaching. If you have a TV set up, you'll see a guide to the opponent and the venue."

"Okay."

Hang up the phone and turn on the TV.

My heart is pounding. What the hell is my opponent like?

"- Become!?

When I saw it, I opened my eyes in amazement.

Doubt my eyes and confirm their contents again and again.

But no matter how much you check, the reality remains the same.

It was - South Mountain - that was shown on the screen.
