124 - - The First Battle of the Stadium

I'm looking at the results of the lottery now, stunned. White has registered for the tournament, and there are enough blocks to scroll through just for the party matches, and although some adjustments have been made, it looks like there will be 20 pairs per block, and the first round will be played simultaneously, ignoring the capacity of the arena. This is the convenience of the game. This is the first time to participate in a tournament and many gentiles (players) are just trying out the game. If we had to play the games according to the capacity of the actual arena, we would not be able to finish it even if we had a week.

If you raise your arena rank to S in advance, you can join in the middle of the games, and to my horror, as a SSS holder, I can break into the finals with <>. SS will get you seeded in the semi-finals, S in the quarter-finals.

SS: Seeded for the semi-finals, S: Seeded for the quarter-finals. Apart from the royalty's seats, there are four large box seats here, five including my place, and even from a distance, I can see that they are evenly spaced among the tiered seats in a mortar shape. There is a smaller box seat next to the box seat, and a smaller one next to it. Probably SS-rank and S-rank seats. There is a block of seats in between, which is not a private room, but has enough room for A ranks.

It seems that the participants are all happy and sad to have been assigned to a block, and the noise is even louder than before. The menu on the side table turns down the sound from the outside by 40%. The side table menu is more user-friendly and has a more arena-specific interface than the regular menu.

I decided to participate from the first round, and my block is 52.

I check my block while squeezing the white paw that has been chewed. Summoned beasts and pets are treated as if they were on the field in a party game. In solo fights, summoners and trainers are also present, so each summoner and trainer can summon one pet per fight. The summoner and the trainer can switch the summoner and the trainer only once, in which case the second summoner and the trainer will be summoned with half of their status. Since both summons and pets can be summoned, is a gentile (player) who has both summoner and trainer at his/her disposal at an advantage?　However, it is a delicate point because there are many people like me who have summoned beasts and pets even if they are not in the same profession - their main profession seems to be labeled as a follower. I will have to learn the rules of the arena, or I will be in a hurry one day.

While I was waiting, I was enjoying the white fur as much as I could, when there was a knock at the door.

"Mr. Lengard, SS-ranked Master Horus and Master Babel wish to see you.

The visitor is announced from the other side of the door, which is still closed.

"Come in."

What is it?　We're gonna win this time!　A pre-match greeting?

"[Sword Emperor] Lengard-sama!　Long time no see.

"Long time no see, Mr. Lengard."

As if in anticipation, a beautiful woman with large limbs, not milk, not chocolate-colored, healthy tits, and a beautiful woman with porcelain white skin and sleepy eyes wearing a loose-fitting robe entered the room. Who is it?

"My Lord Lengard, my breasts are as big as Babel's, aren't they?　It's a skinny body.

A beautiful woman smiles and makes a gesture to peel off her robe.

"What do you say, Horus!　I was the first one to catch your eye!　Mr. Lengard, please feel free to take this breast."

A beautiful woman comes at you with her hand on your chest as if she is going to slap you.

Hey, ......!

>

White's gaze hurts.

"Who are you?"

With that much exposure and bine-bine breasts, you'd expect ten out of ten people to see them, right?　You see ......, right?　What is this shame play? I turned to the usher in a cold sweat, and he smiled at me and told me.

"As I mentioned earlier, this is SS-ranked Master Horus and Master Babel. These are the [knights of the emperor] who will be substituting for Mr. Lengard when he is not participating in the tournament. After his defeat by Lengard, he had a rough time, but with the persuasion of those around him, he is now a [knight of the emperor] who is devoted to Lengard. The reason for the slight change in his appearance is that he has used the gender-changing jade himself.

Go to .......

What then?　Are these two beautiful women that (...) Babel and Horus?　The result of a big guy who looks like he's about to laugh and a thin guy who looks like he's about to laugh sarcastically?

The clothes are like a swimsuit that exposes a straight line from the cleavage to the belly button. One in a cloak and cape, the other in a large hooded robe and slender shoulders.

That's more than a little strange. ！！！！！！

And by the way, don't you look younger!　Youthful!

"I serve Master Lengard with all my heart and soul. From head to toe, this body is at your disposal."

I will serve you with all my heart. I will serve you in any way.

They kneel together.

Go home.

White says in disgust. I reject even a beautiful woman.

How did it come to this? The usher brilliantly shooed them out of the door. Strong guide.

"If you're going to call him the knight of the emperor, I think he should have been a man, but why did you do it?

I suppose it's inevitable that I'm a little distant.

>.

"I'm sorry. I tried to persuade the arena officials to be loyal to the emperor, but I think I went too far."

Hey, didn't you just say brainwashing?　I'm afraid of the sales smiley face of the information desk.

"Rest assured, no one is allowed in this private room without permission."

The usher also left after saying that, but I am now filled with anxiety about the assault. Not only those two, but the usher!　I shudder at the thought of being punished in the arena with a gender change and an 18-year-old punishment for misbehaving in the arena. I wonder if this chair will come with any restraints... I'm exhausted before the battle.

Peter: Homura, where is the block?

Ochazuke: I can't find it!

Sin: Homura registration, Lengard?　Is it still in Homra?

Leo: I don't see either!　We're all splitting up the block!

Peter: There are no names on either side of the block, so you'll have to win to win.

Ah, the comfort of normal business as usual clan conversation.

Joining them in the individual competition are Peter, Shin, and Leo. When we parted last night, I gave the three of them various medicines for the tournament, and Peter has just in time to put a on his designated item. Shin and Leo are anxious to use the prize money and items for the clan house, even if they don't win any prizes.

Homura: Registered with Lengard. He is soloing in a party match with 52 blocks.

Shin: Boo hoo!

Leo: wahahahahahaha!

Kikuhime: As expected.

Ochazuke: terrible!

Peter: I have good equipment and my level is high, so I might be able to make it depending on the matching.

Shin: Since we're here, let's make a spectacular appearance.

Homura: Don't be reckless!

Kikuhime: I'm going to try to appear with a on my head.

Ochazuke: It's not flashy, but it's going to cause a stir.

Peter: It's a bit dumb to play it after you appear.

Ochazuke: You can do it without a pause.

Any kind of medicine or magic can be cast in advance, but it will be canceled out.

So I quietly put on my <.

Shin: Let's do our best!

Leo: Oh!

Homura: Yeah, let's do our best.

We will start the first match.

Just as an announcement is made, a shimmering tube of light appears surrounding you (Sankasha). You are given sixty seconds to check, and if there is no problem, you may choose to go out before the time expires. If you have also chosen a matching partner, the match will start before the 60 seconds have elapsed.

Equipment is ready.

>

Let the games begin!

Lengard vs Caribbean.

◇Ready

◇Go!

As soon as we are transferred to the 40-meter square raised cobblestone pavement, a message and an announcement are made.

From a quick glance, it seems that my opponent has an average party composition of shield, gladiator, warrior, wizard, healer, and archer. Their levels are 31 and 32, more than 5 levels lower than mine.

"Lenguard!

"I thought it was a fake name, but it looks real!"

"You're right, it's not production, it's wizardry!

"[I can't] appraise it!"

What do you mean, "real"?

While I'm wondering, white runs through.

Oh.

We're all paralyzed.

White came back with a look of pride on his face, and I wondered if it was OK, but then I used my lightning magic on the six of them who were recoiling in astonishment with my newly-learned << Spear of the God of Thunder> x3.

It's a single attack magic, but with [range magic], I can strike them all at once, and since White has paralyzed them before they can spread out, I'm in range with plenty of time to spare. By the way, this magic doubles the damage if you are hit by it while you are in a state of abnormality, which goes well with White.

Lengard WIN!

With an announcement, I was enveloped in another white tube of light and returned to my seat. There was no afterglow, but that might not be a bad thing since there were so many games. The buzz in the audience was getting louder, as if they were cheering for their friends and acquaintances.

>

Maybe they can't see White. Unless he has some kind of skill to see through concealment, such as [Eye] or [Ganbaru]. As soon as the game starts, he will be in a state of "paralysis" without knowing why, and it would be a horror if he doesn't show himself at least.

>

.

White froze for a moment. I stroke the back of White's ears while he is frozen. I am deeply moved by the fact that he sits on my lap and lets me pet him even though he doesn't like humans. Sometimes he bites me.

White, back from the freeze, says.

>

<>

White, don't give me that look of disgust again.

>

I turn my face away when I'm told.

I think I was told that. However, I have not looked at the details even though I have done the appraisal, because I have been doing the work to raise the level of [appraisal].

What? Peter, I thought you said 35.

Ochazuke: Homura, is the game over?

Homura: It's over!

Ochazuke: It's a registered Lenguard, right?

Homura: Yeah?

Ochazuke: In this short time, the actual situation board is in chaos!

Hm?
