The Road to One Day Be the Strongest

The chilly wind strokes my skin.

─ ─ Really, why did you have such a militant party at a time like this?

I was currently sitting in the contestant's seat waiting for the game to begin.

Of course, not all the remaining five thousand seats fit intact, but most of the contestants were in the basement, in the training room, etc., or were vacant with an outgoing gallery.

"Okay, shall we bring a blanket tomorrow"

"I don't think anyone would watch a militant party with a blanket, though, do they?

Right now, it's all party members, except Leon and Max, who are sitting in the gallery, with the exception of the three examples.

─ ─ By the way, Dawn Ho and the others are related parties, so it's a special case. Apparently, the Beast King's permission came down without difficulty.

"So, Mr. Brad, who do you think is going to win this game?

"Two of Silver-kun's parties...... I wonder if you're okay......"

"Eh, that's awesome because those people are the people you know!? Don't be a child. Awesome!!

......... I've been wondering, who is this Mr. Sister?

Well, I'll ask Kyoka later.

"Khufu, please wait"

When I said that, I broadened my spatial grasp so that I could go to all of this venue.

The gaze also shifts into the stage, and the roughly a thousand people there will be visually confirmed.

Well, what seems strong in the first row............?

─ ─ -What?

"......... why is that guy (...) out there?

My spatial grasp definitely sensed the magic of that man (...).

Why are you out, that guy....... is it okay over there (...)?

"With the Beast King, it's hard to break through even your sister."

....... I see. So does reason make sense......?

"Lord Tsushima... can I be honest?

Mr. Tsushima nods with a wrinkle between his eyebrows and a strange look on his face.

─ ─ Earlier, I said, 'Maybe these five will decide.' I might have to withdraw that.

If that guy leaves,

"Maybe not everyone in the brunette age can stay winning," he said.

─ ─ Worst case scenario, because Leon and the other two can win.

Location changed, on stage.

"So? Did they find the silver?

Kuse turned to the two of them, who were depressed and dropping their shoulders, asking a clear question of the answer.

"I don't see any shadows or shapes at all........."

"My party helped me out too......"

I guess so, too, because I'm here.

......... heh? How do you pick up sounds from the guest seats and say you're in charge of narration?

It's easy, of spatial domination.

Because they use "Hell's Ear" and "Eagle's Eye" simultaneously.

Incidentally, ability is literally the ability to 'listen to all sounds and exclude disturbing sounds' and 'distort space and look beyond'. It would be easy to understand, wouldn't it?

Besides, that's how many higher-level people in this world have all their abilities up in different digits. Otherwise it's impossible to find your name from a roster of a thousand people.

gossip.

"Whoa, you guys, you were in this place?

"There are a thousand people in the boulder."

Apparently there, Max and Leon rendezvous.

"Hmm? Mr. Max and Mr. Leon......... right?

"Whoa, you don't mind if I call you off! You guys are Gin's friends too, aren't you?

"Friends of the Lord are friends of their own."

"...... I've been thinking, what is that" Lord "thing?

"Hmm? The majority of the Lord's party members are outside. It is normal for a Tamed Demon to call the Lord Lord"

"What!? Are you a monster?

"I thought I was human too......... by the way, what rank?

"Uh...... Was it EX now?

"Um, I guess the level hasn't changed much in the last month."

"" "EX Huh!?

Even just before the tournament, you're such a jerk.

But in view of the moment and the approaching start time, Max cut to the point.

"So that's why we've been looking for you guys, but I'm keeping a new message from Ginn."

"" "Wha!?

Three people stunned by Leon's overwhelming rank and even more stunned at the point. Wouldn't you like to pop out some eyeballs sometime? That's how I open my eyes.

Especially two women. As for you guys, you look a little hesitant to portray them, don't you?

"Gee, Gin is......... are you still looking at us?

"... maybe you're looking at cancer?

"I feel the gaze of the Lord binge."

How did they know about me? Of course I'm looking at cancer. Under the mask.

Max smashed a message from me, thinking that the boulder would be good around here for nothing.

"So here's the message: 'The real deal is from the real fight, right? You can work with them, you can at least win the qualifying round, right?...... Well, maybe not, kuhaha!' That's right."

For a moment, silence occupies the surroundings.

─ ─ ─ Why doesn't anyone in the venue talk? Has the hour stopped?

But apparently that happened to be a coincidence.

Except for one place on the stage.

Three people floating blue on their temples at the remarks they made too many fools of themselves and not moving as if they froze with a smile on their face.

"And then I said, 'You can say no but......... well, if you say you missed the qualifying round with that, I might get belly twisted, so stop it, right?' I'm also getting a message......... what do we do?

Also, the whole venue is surrounded by silence.

─ ─ Is it possible that everyone in this room is listening to his conversation?

However, this silence closed with the sound of three 'butches'.

─ ─ And,

"He's superior, Cora. Ah! No matter what hand you use, you won't win!!

"It's probably a good idea to make fun of us!? I'm really mad at you!

"Oh, hey, hey, hey! You seem to have to put your hands together all this time!

Three caught properly.

─ ─ If I don't do this, I'm not going to beat that guy (...). A meaningful gift from me. [M]

"And at the end of the day, 'In case all five of you make it to the main battle, I'll give you one tip on where I am.' So, do me a favor, huh?

"Uhm, a temporary joint front, it is"

Thus, extraordinary parties were organized for Leon, Max, Kuse, Hohua and Phoenix House.

"It's time! We will now begin the first qualifying round!

Well, I'm telling Leon, "Try not to get your hands on it" and......... how far does it go for that guy?

"Are you ready!?

As before, the silence filled with tension occupies the entire venue.

─ ─ And,

"World War I! Get started!!

─ ─ An exploding cheer rang.

That was shortly after the start of the match.

In that great cheer, one man was heard.

"'I am the bearer of the Holy Sword.'"

There was no quality like shouting at that voice, it was like talking to a neighbor, that voice.

"'I am the sword of absolute victory'"

Soon, the sound had disappeared from all over the venue.

Everyone was listening to that voice.

"'There is no defeat in the sword, and there is no defeat in its bearer'"

Moments overflow the golden mainstream of magic from the center of the stage.

─ ─ ─ I see, is this the real (...)?

"'My name is Alfred (...). Sheath and manifest my magic!

And that man, Alfred, summoned the sword.

"'Holy Sword! Excalibur' Huh!!

Moments later, the stage was wrapped in golden fluctuations.

─ ─ ─ Zeus........., what's "no big deal"?

Undoubtedly, in terms of potential, it's the same as Adams' sickle, isn't it? That holy sword.

─ ─ Just a little bit......... spectacular.

I seemed to hear such a hallucination.
