Now, let's begin the draw for the main tournament of the Great War Party!
A woman who looked like a moderator shouted into the side of the arena with a microphone.
A loud cheer erupts from the spectators surrounding the arena.
In front of the arena, we fifteen contestants are lined up in front of the arena.
Only one person, Alice, was not seen there.
Behind her was a huge tournament table board, and next to it was an iron lottery box with a hole in the top.
''There is one more person who has arrived late, so I, the host, will draw the lottery for that person!
Will Alice really be coming here?
As I was thinking about this, Chairman Barbaroi, standing next to me, looked at me and smiled.
There are still some hidden gem left for me to keep," he said before leaving, "I wonder if he was referring to Alice.
I'd like to begin with Chairman Barbaroi, who is ranked number zero.
With a creepy smile on his face, Chairman Barbaroy reached into the lottery box and pulled out a ball with "1B" written on it.
'Chairman Barbaroy, Game 1B,'
In the first slot of the tournament table, on the right side, Barbaroi's name is written.
'Next, first place in the rankings, Takumi-sama, please.
He walked to the lottery box and took a ball from inside.
'Ta, Takumi-sama, game one A!
A huge cheer went up from the audience.
This is a big deal! From the first game, the Guild President and the number one ranked match has been decided!
The Chairman's smile, which seemed to be stuck on, was fished out further and became a big smile.
''This lottery, it's kind of cheating, Takkun.
Well, fine. I don't care who it is.
There isn't a single opponent I can beat in this one.
It doesn't matter what the guild tries to do to me.
My goal is not to win the championship.
The draw went on steadily, and all the tournament tables were filled up.
Game 1.
The most powerful in the universe, Takumi.
Mr. Chairman, "Barbaroi Souza
Game 2
The Immortal King "Dogma
The Use of Space "Linden Lindberg

Game 6

Game 7

Game 8.
The Goblin King "Jaslak
The most powerful mankind, Alice.
My name and Alice's name was written at the farthest point on the tournament table.
I know it seems impossible, but if I'm going to fight Alice, I have to make it to the final.
''Well then, let's get the first match of the first round started right away! President Barbaroi, Master Takumi, please come to the arena!
My ears hurt from the raging cheers.
As usual, Chairman Barbaroi never cracks a smile and stares at me.
The old man Nuruhachi said was the opponent he least wanted to fight.
He uses every possible means to catch his opponent off guard.
He makes himself look weak, lets his guard down, kills the signs, and sets up traps. That's what he'd heard.
A month after the battle in the Great War Party, I'm sure that Chairman Barbaroi will be preparing a trap that will be a must-win for him.
But if it's to be used against me, it's rather convenient.
I don't need to use such a thing, I can easily lose, making it easier for my remaining friends to win.
"Woohoo, let's get started then.
I confronted Chairman Barbaroi in the center of the arena.
Come to think of it, it all started when this old man mistook me for the Demon King and came over.
''Can I ask you one question?''
I'm sure of it.
This is just confirmation.
It wasn't you who suspected me of being the Demon King, was it?
For a moment, just for a second, I didn't miss Chairman Barbaroy's smile faltering.
I knew it. My conviction was further cemented.
"You'll have your answer if you beat me.
No, no, no, I get it all.
Chairman Barbaroy's killing spirit swells as he laughs.
In the strange air, a gong sounds to announce the start of the match.
''Daibukai, first match, let's begin!
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
As the cheers and gongs continued to ring out, Chairman Barbaroi suddenly exploded his power.
Chairman Barbaroi, whose body has swelled many times over and has become so well-muscled and macho that it's hard to believe he's an old man, clenches his fist and raises it.
Only at the moment when he can reliably defeat his opponent will he explosively increase his power to finish him off with a single blow. That's the Barbaroi's way of fighting, Nuruhachi had said.
So that means now is the time.
"Takkun!
'Yeah, I can't. It's inevitable.
I couldn't move because my legs were sluggish.
I asked for the rest, I believe in you, Four Divine Pillars.
I said a prayer in my heart.
I thought I'd been blown away with a thumping sound.
But Chairman Barbaroi's fist is not aimed at me, but at his own feet.
The stone ground was cracked and its fist was buried up to my wrist.
''Sealed Demon Secret Formula, Dark Absorption Formation (Drain Circle)!
With Chairman Barbaroi's thrusting arm at the center, a black magic circle spread out in the arena as if drawn with a brush.
''It's not dark magic!
The scream of Karuna the demon sword resounds in my head.
It's the same lineage as the special move Karuna uses.
"How is that possible? This technique is not something that can be used without preparation. You can't use this technique without being prepared.
As I suspected, they had planned something beforehand.
I'm not going to be able to get out of it.
I'm not going to be able to escape, so I just cower on top of that magic circle.
It's a good idea to be able to have a good time.
Chairman Barbaroy's muscular, swollen body became thin, like a balloon squeezing, and he was breathing on his shoulders.
Still, there was a smile on his pained face.
''The reason I put the fight off for a month, and the reason I sent you to the Grand Martial Meeting was all to use this technique.
From the magic circle at my feet, I can sense something unusual.
I don't need to ask to know that it's a ridiculous technique.
It took me a month to work this trick on the arena. I've been using all my powers to trigger it.
Isn't it against the law to plant a surgical procedure in advance?
We see a white tiger pillar judging foul play.
He doesn't react at all. Are you okay, Four Divine Pillars?
''It's a subterfuge. The arena was set up after the magic was set up. It's not a foul even if you use something that was already there.
...... f*ckin' old man.
I can see why Nuruhachi didn't want to fight.
Dirty. Grandpa, super dirty.
''It doesn't matter how powerful you are anymore, no matter how much power you have. Whatever power you have, all of it will be absorbed by this magic circle.
I see, it's the same as Karuna's ability to absorb power.
I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's not.
It's time to pull the plug. It's time to end this.
A number of black arms extend from the magic circle with a bang.
I'm not going to be able to get a good deal more than one of those arms to cling to my legs and fill up my lower body.
Normally, this would be the only way to lose all of your power.
But I didn't have a single millimeter of such power.
The black arm that grabbed me was clearly confused as it grabbed me.
'Good,'
I moved my feet a bit, and the arm that grabbed me polo grabbed away.
I walked normally over the magic circle and stood in front of Chairman Barbaroi.
He looked up at me with his arm still stuck in the ground.
His eyes were glazed over.
''Bah, that's ridiculous. This technique is the best secret technique that even gods and demon kings can't escape and is absolutely invincible, the one I spent my life creating: ......
That's bad. I suppose it would have worked for someone with power, but it's a completely meaningless attack on me.
"Who the hell are you? Do you think you are more than a god or a demon king?
Chairman Barbaroi is astonished.
Karuna's voice echoes in his head.
'Takkun, please say the usual.'
Bringing my face up to Chairman Barbaroy's ear, I said.
'You know exactly what I mean. You're right.'
Chairman Barbaroy crumbled and the first round came to an end.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
