It was the morning of the day of the event when I arrived at the guild's general headquarters where the Grand Martial Meeting was to take place.
From failing the adventurer's test to losing the first round of the Grand Martial Meeting, I didn't have a lot of good memories of this place.
He looked up at the Guild General Headquarters from the outside, which was covered by huge walls on all sides and armed like a fort.
''Are we going to war?''
What in the world did the guild intend to fight and what did they build such a place for?
Overwhelmed by the building that gave off a tremendous sense of intimidation, I arrived at the entrance gate and was stopped by a man who looked like a gatekeeper.
''Today is the Guild Grand Martial Meeting. You will need a ticket or a guild card to enter.''
A burly, armored man who looked like a gatekeeper of sorts stood blocking the gate.
"All participants. Let us through.
When I showed him the letter that President Barbaroy had sent me beforehand, the gatekeeper opened the gate in a hurry.
I beg your pardon, sir. Please come through!
The gatekeeper is trembling in an upright and immobile position.
As I thought, they think I'm the Demon King.
Well, there's the non-human Four Heavenly Kings and Chloe right behind us, and they don't look like a decent group of people.
Rather, I'm impressed that they stopped us well at first.
Once inside, it was like a bit of a festival, with many stalls lined up.
Normally, only guild officials are allowed to enter the guild's general headquarters, but once every five years, only during the big war party, if you buy a ticket, you can get in.
''Hey, isn't that a group of Demon Kings?''
Don't make eye contact or you'll get cursed to death!
All the old men of the stall looked away and were silent when we approached.
We didn't feel like we could shop.
Takumi, I want to eat cotton candy!
I'm sorry. I'll get you something to take home.
Once everything is resolved, will I be able to become a normal person again?
As he patted Chihar's head, he thought about that.
The stage for the Grand Martial Association was located in the center of the General Headquarters.
The large square, stone arena had iron pillars embedded in the four corners of the arena, each with some name written on it.
''It's the Four Divine Pillars. There are the same ones in the east. With the four divine beasts - Xuanwu, White Tiger, Blue Dragon and Vermilion Bird - guarding the four sides, the arena is elevated to a sacred place.
Is there the same thing in Leia's country?
The last time I participated in the Grand Martial Competition, I failed to qualify, so I've never fought on such a magnificent stage.
''A technique similar to my God Descending technique resides in the pillar. Genbu shrugs off the damage that would be fatal, White Tiger sees through the injustice, Blue Dragon heals the missing parts, and Vermilion Bird revives the dead. All of them will be defeated when their abilities are activated, but if you are fighting in this arena, you will not be dead.
Well, that's a safe bet for you to fight.
I was going to abstain from fighting in the first round, but if I don't die, I might as well try to fight.
''Haha, Takumi-san was worried that his excess power would make his opponent a dead man, wasn't he?
Mm, you're right, you're right.
Yeah, all he cares about is me dying.
"I've been expecting you. Master Takumi.
The person who welcomed me was Linden, who had set up the round table for the Ten Goukai.
He said, "The preliminary round will start soon. All other members should go to the qualifying round.
Yeah, there was definitely a rule like that.
The top ten in the guild ranking could fight from the main tournament.
Ours were Chihar and Jasrak, who were substitutes.
The seven of the Four Heavenly Kings and Chloe had to fight from the preliminary round.
''You guys go ahead and do your best. I'll be waiting for you in the main tournament.
That's when Zach the Mad Warrior (Berserker) looked off with a fresh smile.
''Oh, Zach-san, you're from the preliminary round too.
"Huh?
'Recently, it was officially decided to demote Zach-san's ranking. Sach-san's current guild ranking is 106th, a C rank.
What the hell?
Sacha lost 100 places in one fell swoop.
The fact that he was beaten by Miakis in the Ten Goukai, unable to give Miakis an arm and a leg, seems to have made a bad impression on him.
''Oh, you'll remember that! I'm actually very strong! d*mn it, I'm going to beat you all to death!
Sacha left a discarded line and ran to the qualifying area.
I didn't miss the large tears that flowed from his eyes.
''The main tournament will be held with a total of sixteen people, the ten currently decided and the six who have passed the qualifying round. Would you like to watch the qualifying round?
No, no. Call me when the main game starts.
All right. I've prepared an anteroom for you, sir, where you can rest.
We were shown to a luxurious waiting room next to the arena.
Maybe it's because I'm the number one ranked fighter, but it's a far cry from the simple tent-like waiting room I had when I participated ten years ago.
Hey, isn't Chihar going to qualify?
Yes, I'm with Takumi.
Well, that's more like it.
Chihar, who has become an adult language, can fight evenly with the Goblin King Jasrak, but he's not suited for a one-day tournament. He wouldn't be able to show that kind of power for the entire match.
Well, I don't think the four heavenly kings, Chloe, and Jaslak's six people would fall in the qualifying round.
Even if Chihar doesn't participate, they should be perfectly fine.
Hmm? Six?
Maybe, or maybe not, he's hopeless: ......
My hunch was correct.
I heard a horrendous sound of explosions from the qualifying room.
When I came out of the waiting room a short time later, I saw a group of men who seemed to be watching the qualifying rounds making a lot of noise.
I heard that Sacher guy blew up the qualifying venue to make up for losing the ranking.
'No, he said he got beat up by some cat-like guy in the preliminaries, so he blew himself up.
I heard they're going to penalize you for blowing up the venue and demoting you further in the rankings.
The Demon Shield King Bomb I gave him has caused a lot of trouble.
Well, I've got the Four Divine Pillars and I won't die, so I'll be fine.
''All the preliminary rounds are over. Now the draw for the main tournament will begin. Everyone, please prepare yourselves.
As expected, the Four Heavenly Kings, Chloe, and Jaslak won the preliminary round.
The names of the main contestants were posted in front of the arena.
