"It's okay, tone it down, you two, or you might cause a scene," Dave said, adding, "Besides, Emma, Diana, and Boa are coming too."
"By the way, you're not planning to reveal the fact that you have four girlfriends, right?" Misaki teased with a smirk. "Be careful—so jealous guys might just try to kill you for hoarding all these beauties for yourself."
Dave simply smiled in response.
"Anyway, let's go. The oath ceremony will start soon," Dave said as they entered.
Inside, they saw the other teams. Each team had ten main players and three extra players as reserves, making a total of thirteen players per team.
They took their seats, finding other competitors already there. The ceremony was in progress as, one by one, each player stepped forward to take the oath of fair play and no cheating.
Finally, it was Dave's turn. He went up to the stage and stood in front of the mic, facing the audience.
"Hello, my na is Yuta Takahashi, but I believe you all know as the player Dave. I take this oath that I will play in the competition fairly," he said.
By the ti he finished speaking, the entire venue erupted into chaos.
"F*ck! The player Dave?! The Hero King Dave is from Japan?!"
"Oh my god! The team we thought was just a competitor is actually top five now and a serious contender for first place!"
"Damn, this is huge!"
"Hero King Dave!!"
"I knew it! He has to be the Hero King!"
"What the hell do you even know?"
The journalists went wild, all shouting at once, trying to get a statent. One of the event staff tried to calm them down.
"Please stay seated! There will be a press conference later!" he announced.
Despite his words, the Japanese team's presence, especially with Dave as a mber, had just taken the entire tournant to another level.
As Dave stepped down from the stage, his teammates surrounded him, their expressions ranging from excitent to sheer disbelief.
"Damn, Dave, you really know how to shake things up," Trish smirked, crossing her arms. "Now every team here is going to treat us like the final boss."
Misaki chuckled, "Well, they're not wrong. You being here has completely changed the tournant's dynamics."
Dave simply shrugged. "It doesn't matter. Whether they fear us or challenge us, the outco will be the sa."
Just then, Emma, Diana, and Boa approached, each of them exuding confidence.
The other six players, aside from them, also appeared.
"Woah, I thought you were just here to make up the numbers, but I guess you guys are the real deal," said the other player, Sakata. He was one of the guild leaders and among the top three players in Japan's player base.
"So, which gas are you participating in?" Sakata asked.
Dave replied, "All of them, each one I can."
His true goal in coming to this world was to spread the magic of Mumud and let everyone witness its might. At first he waned to sue it in satisfy but later he learned it will take ti so his plans changed. In this competition, he planned to play using only Mumud's magic, allowing everyone to witness its power while also completing his Template System mission for Mumud template.
"Oh, so you'll be participating in the first competition, Escape the Labyrinth, right?" Sakata asked.
Dave nodded.
"Well then, best of luck," he said, and Dave nodded in response.
****
The first day of the First Satisfy National Competition opened with the expectations of the world. The crowd cheered as the boss raid and labyrinth breakthrough proceeded.
There was nothing unusual or that what was exepected.
Dave participated in both gas and ended up earning a gold dal in both of them. In the Escape the Labyrinth competition, he cleared it in half the ti of the silver dal winner, setting a new record.
And even in the Boss Raid, he showcased exceptional magic, causing the world to wonder if he possessed a Legendary Magician class.
But the most astonishing thing wasn't just his power—it was the hazy purple aura surrounding him. That aura radiated an air of majesty, dignity, and dominance. It was the Aura of the Hero King.
As the first day ended and players gave interviews, most of the discussions centered around Dave. Finally, it was his turn to be interviewed.
He entered the room, walked confidently, and sat on the chair.
"Now, please, one by one, start asking questions," said the staff mber, and the journalists nodded in response.
One by one, they stood up as the staff guided them.
An older reporter was the first to speak. "I would like to ask, what is your class?"
Dave smiled slightly before answering, "It's a Legendary Class called Mumud's Successor."
The mont he spoke, the entire room went silent for a second before the journalists exploded with excitent, caras clicking as they rushed to record every detail.
"A Legendary Class?"
"When did you obtain it?"
"The day the world ssage appeared ' soone had acquired infinite potential'—that's when I obtained it," Dave replied calmly, his expression unreadable as he answered each question one by one.
"Is there any more?" he asked, scanning the room.
A different reporter hesitated for a mont before stepping forward with a smirk on his face.
"Player Dave, is it true that you're dating not one, but four won at the sa ti? Do they even know about each other?"
The room tensed for a second as so reporters murmured among themselves, clearly eager for drama. But Dave, unfazed, simply shrugged.
"I must say, those rumors are false," he stated firmly.
"It wasn't dating them—it was them liking . I've never actively pursued anyone in a relationship. But one day, by chance, an accident happened and then after I saved them all, we ended up becoming friends. They are all friends of mine, and they chose , just as they chose each other. If that's what you're asking—if I am deceiving anyone behind their backs—then the answer is absolutely not."
Dave's voice was steady, his words carrying an air of confidence that made it clear he had nothing to hide. So of the reporters exchanged glances, realizing they wouldn't get the scandal they were hoping for.
