Chapter 90
“It seems that the preliminary will be a battle royal . Looking back at the registration, all the participants will be divided into ten groups or so . ” (Kuesu)
Kuesu said with an uninterested tone .
“That’s right . There will only be 32 participants in the main tournant, and the public participants will only be able to occupy half of them . ” (Gary)
Replied Gary because he knew of it too, but was also not impressed . That’s why he answered bluntly .
“The main tournant’s first round battle is all set between the public participants and the hero candidates . ” (Baara)
And just when I thought that was the end of the conversation . Baara gave her two cents .
When I asked Lux why everyone was like that, he said that everyone was curious about .
Well, that was true . Those 3 were gazing at with sparkling eyes after they explained so much about the preliminary .
And to top it off, even Seira who didn’t talk was peeking at .
And everything was Zir’s fault, because she told them the story about the incident in Welburg, ‘The Nightmare of Welburg, Necromancer of Justice Vs . Evil Necromancer’ was the title .
And furthermore, the contents of her story…
It was about a black-haired necromancer and a skillful magic swordsman protagonist, the necromancer had white hair at the beginning, but for so reason the story took a twist and beca a love story between the black-haired necromancer and the protagonist .
There was almost no one who knew about the story of the zombie and monster attack from that night .
Everyone desperately protected the gate, and the other civilians were asleep .
Maybe because of that, everyone was super interested in Zir’s fictional story .
After that Zir the storyteller was bored and ended the story with a cliffhanger at the important part . Because I asked them about the contest just after that, this was what I got because I asked at the wrong timing .
“I think we should ask the skillful magic swordsman himself for the rest of the story . ” (Baara)
Said Baara with shrugged shoulders appealing that there was no other way . But she was smiling when she said it .
“A change in one’s hair color is important for a magic user . The reason why the hair color changed hasn’t been explained . ” (Kuesu)
It seems Kuesu was curious about the reason why the heroine’s hair color changed . And because there was a real example here, brushing them off was not an option .
“There is still the love scene between the heroine and the protagonist too . So you have to tell that . ” (Gary)
Gary was easy to read . He was anticipating the bed scene between Zir and .
And before I knew it, Seira was closer to now . But she refused to make eye contact with .
“The whole story is not as interesting as you think, you know?” (Hibiki)
It couldn’t be helped so I told them about what happened that night with a little restriction .
Baara was probably only in it for the fun, so I bet she will be satisfied if I just told her the conclusion .
For Kuesu, I told her that after I kissed Zir, her hair beca black . And that I didn’t have any other explanation .
When I was at the part with the love scene, for so reason Seira’s face was beet red and she was in a position even closer to than before .
It seems Gary wanted to enjoy Seira’s expression, that was why he ntioned this topic .
I managed to end the story before it beca too illogical, and then Kuesu ca closer to .
“What’s wrong Master? Nghmuuh!?” (Hibiki)
She kissed without hesitation .
Ayla and the others quickly got up from their chairs to separate us .
“What’s wrong with you!?” (Amy)
Amy questioned Kuesu with an angry tone .
“I just tried it because it was the trigger of the color change in her hair . ” (Kuesu)
It seems that transfering magic power through mbrane contact was popular .
However because of the high hurdle of the deed, it was only done between lovers, spouses, or family .
“[Annihilation] is my pupil, so he’s like a family to . Is there a problem?” (Kuesu)
She tilted her head with a face of not knowing what was the problem with that .
“Of course there is a problem!!” (Ayla, Amy, Zir)
They said that with Amy and Zir standing between and Master with Ayla hugging tight to guard .
When Kuesu and Amy were arguing…
“What a farce . ” (?)
A guy in the later half of his twenties wearing a robe was looking at us with a sour expression .
“To think that The Firestorm has fallen so low . Whoops, she has been there since the beginning huh . ” (?)
It seems he was Kuesu’s acquaintance .
“Master, who is he?” (Hibiki)
I wonder what kind of relation he had with Kuesu, a guy who insulted us from the get-go .
“…I don’t know?” (Kuesu)
“Wha-!? Damn you!!!” (?)
It seems that Kuesu didn’t know him .
It couldn’t be helped, I will confirm his status .

The Divine Protection of Selection Priest, it ans he was one of the ‘hero candidates’ .
In terms of skill, he had the sa level of 【Wind Magic】 as Kuesu and he carries the 【Lineage of Magic】, the rest were iffy though .
But if you were talking about a ‘hero candidate’ with high level 【Wind Magic】…
“Are you perhaps, the [Gale Hero]?” (Hibiki)
After I said that, Tiger smiled .
“That’s right . It’s a surprise that a lowly adventurer like you would know about . No, it ans I have beca so popular that even a lowly adventurer like you knows about . ” (Tiger)
It seems Kuesu rembered sothing after she heard that .
“I rember now, you’re Tiger the Weakling right?” (Kuesu)
“Don’t call with that nickna!!” (Tiger)
Together with his shout a wind blew in the shop . The tableware on top of the table was blown off and the contents were spilled everywhere .
Fortunately it was past lunchti, so there were not many custors, thus no major accidents happened .
I wonder if he was really a ‘hero candidate’?
“Tch, fine . I heard that he was your pupil . I actually wanted to crush you, but I will put up with him for now . ” (Tiger)
After he said that, he left the shop .
“What the hell is his problem?” (Hibiki)
“Tiger and I are fellow pupils . We both learned from the sa master . ” (Kuesu)
When sothing didn’t go as he wanted, he would throw a tantrum, the crybaby Tiger .
It seems Kuesu never t him again after they had finished studying from their master .
“It seems he really doesn’t like you, Master . ” (Hibiki)
“I wonder why?” (Kuesu)
Again, Kuesu tilted her head cutely in question .
After that Kuesu tried to think of sothing that made him hate her, but alas to no avail .
“At any rate, Tiger is targeting you [Annihilation] right now, be careful . ” (Kuesu)
It seems the situation had beco so dire to the point that I couldn’t eat my lunch peacefully .
I didn’t want to get involved in anything anymore today, so after I ate my lunch, I went straight to the inn and didn’t step out until the next day .
=====
The next morning, the preliminary had begun .
After the incident yesterday, maybe thanks to being holed up in the inn, I could participate in the preliminary without incident .
My fighting block was different from the Dragon Warrior Ayla, even though our registration ti was almost the sa . It seems the grouping was not based on the ti registered .
“Well then, participants from block 1 to 4, please get ready . ”
I was in block 3, Ayla was in block 12 .
FYI, there were 16 blocks, each consisted of about 20 participants .
That ans the total amount of participants were about 300 people . Quite the grand scale .
Though, looking at all the participants in my block, out of 20 of them, there were only about 8 people and 1 beast who seed able to fight properly .
Half of them used everyday tools as a weapon, such as hoes and rolling pins .
And that 1 beast I ntioned before…
