From the entrance lobby, we moved to the training ground set up inside the Adventurer’s Guild.
“I’m sorry Guild Leader-ojiichan. It’s kind of my fault that you are getting into trouble.”
“Don’t worry about it. You’ve helped me a lot so far. This is nothing.”
After saying such a cool line, the guild leader called out to the adventurers.
“Alright. Now, about the contestants…… Is there anyone who thinks they could win?”
“Mmm. I’m going to fight.”
“I’m joining too!”
Fana and Anje were the first to raise their hands.
“Then, me too.”
“Lill isn’t an adventurer, is she?”
“Ah? Am I no good?”
“Well, I don’t think they will know, but just in case, you can’t join.”
Lill, who is not an adventurer, was declined so he proceeded to recruit the remaining three participants.
“In that case, give me a slot. Reus has been good to me in a lot of ways.”
“Reus-kun, I’ll help out too.”
Gain and Emily also volunteered.
“Four A-rank adventurers……”
“Looks like we are not needed….…”
“But right now, there are no more A-rank adventurers. In that case, the other slot must come from a B-rank adventurer, right?”
While the other adventurers were reluctant, the guild leader volunteered himself.
“Unfortunately, the last slot has been decided. It’s me.”
This guild leader is already retired, right?
“I’ve been feeling really good since that treatment, and I was just hoping to fight a strong opponent to see what I’m capable of in this state. The renowned Brazel family of magicians should be a good opponent.”
“The guild leader himself!?”
“Four A-ranks and Guild Leader…… I couldn’t have asked for a better lineup……”
“But the opponent is the Brazel family…… It’s not going to be easy.”
It seems that the participants have been decided.
“Leave the first fight to me.”
Fana volunteered to be the spearhead. Then she added, “Is it okay to take them all down?”
“Hey, leave some of them behind!”
The opponent’s first fighter also came forward. He is a man in his mid-twenties, and he clicks his tongue unpleasantly.
“Tch! You guys are underestimating me too much. To think my opponent is a brat like you. I was sure they’d bring out someone who’s A-rank or stronger.”
“I’m an A-rank.”
“You? Hah! If that’s the case, then the Adventurer’s Guild has really fallen.”
“You can only say that line now.”
“I’ll give those words back to—-uh!”
◇◇◇
“I-impossible…… For a little girl like that…… the Brazel family’s elite magician were……”
Galia, the head of the Brazel family, was appalled.
In the training ground inside the Adventurer’s Guild in Vegaltia, both the adventurers and the Brazel family fought for his son, Reus.
Five representatives from both sides are selected for an elimination match. No matter how many elite troops he has brought with him, this is still an enemy stronghold. And if it had been a brawl against a bunch of adventurers, it would be over quickly for sure.
When Ark proposed this type of fight, Galia couldn’t help but smile at his opponent’s stupidity. He was convinced that the Brazel family, a prestigious family of magicians, could not be defeated by adventurers in terms of individual combat power.
But the reality was just the opposite. There were three magicians defeated by one young girl. Right now, their camp had already lost three games in a row.
“Hmm. They’re not a big deal.”
Without changing her complexion, the girl with the long silver hair commented. It should never have happened that the Brazel family’s elites were helpless against a girl who was barely in her late teens.
“This can’t be real…… I can’t believe that the elite of my family will lose…… No, this is cheating! There must be a cheating going on here!”
The only thing that he can conclude was that the other side is doing some kind of cheating. Galia raises his voice and insists that the adventurers are cheating while his wife, Meliena, completely agrees with him.
“That must be it! I knew it was suspicious the moment you presented a format that is favorable to us! I’m sure you are all planning to execute such trap from the start!”
Then the silver-haired girl spoke with an annoyed look on her face.
“No, you’re mistaken. There is no cheating. Those guys are just weak. If you really think there is cheating here, you can investigate.”
“……V-very well. In this case, we will suspend this match and investigate.”
