Now, at long last, the tournament would be start .
Leolde had made it through the preliminary rounds and was moving on to the finals. Although he hadn't been able to reach Richto's value, he had exceeded the specified value and was therefore selected to participate in the finals.
This time, sixteen people were selected to participate in the finals. Since the finals are a tournament, they had to choose our opponents first.
The opponents were decided by lottery, so after the names were called out in alphabetical order, Leolde drew the lots.
"...... first match ?"
Leolde drew the first one that was left. The opponent was--
"Hahahahaha! Nice to meet you, Leolde!
"Yes, it's my pleasure. I'll pay you back for what you did to me back then .
He is Baynard Augustus, Commander of the Royal Knights. He is laughing wildly and slapping Leoldo on the back with a bashful smile.
The first match of the first round was Leoldo versus Baynard.
The first match of the first round was Leolde vs Baynard, and Siegfried, the opponent Leolde was most interested in, was to be played in the second round.
In other words, in order for Leolde to fight Siegfried, he would have to defeat Baynard.
From the first round, he thought Leolde would be discouraged by Baynard, whom he would have to give his all to beat, but he was determined to fight.
He was happy to be able to fight again with Baynard, whom he had had a mock battle with once before. One would think it was for belligerent reasons, but no.
He was just happy to be able to show his current self to an opponent who recognized him.
With the opponents decided, the rules of the tournament were explained. The contestants gather in front of the facilitator and listen quietly to the explanation.
"The rules of the tournament are as follows: First, you must put on this magical equipment."
The attendant who was giving the explanation took out a bracelet. When he saw that everyone was paying attention to the bracelet, he resumed his explanation.
"This bracelet is a magical tool that can create a ward to prevent magical and physical attacks.'
" First, put it on. Then, the wearer's body will be warded like a thin membrane. By doing so, it prevents fatal accidents and protects the life of the wearer."
"However, it is designed to break if it receives a certain amount of damage or impact. So, the moment it breaks, you are defeated."
After explaining this much, the attendant stopped the explanation and asked the contestants if they had any questions.
"Are there any questions so far?""
"How much is the durability value of the bracelet?"
"It is 5000. It will break if it takes more damage than that."
"How much impact can it withstand?"
"In tests, it has withstood a blow from Master Richto .
"By the way, if I equip it, will the impact knock me out?
"Yes. Even if the bracelet is not broken, if the wearer faints or cannot get up after a count of ten seconds, the person is defeated."
The persons , having heard what they wanted to hear, had nothing more to ask, and quieted down. The attendant who had been explaining the rules of the tournament resumed explaining the rules of the tournament since there were no more questions.
"The rules of the tournament are as follows: the first person whom destroy the bracelet lose ."
"Also, the use of magic is allowed, but the use of magical or physical barriers for defense is prohibited. That's because of these bracelets."
"And as I said earlier, even if the bracelet is not broken, you lose if you faint or fall for ten seconds."
"As for the use of weapons, we will ask the players to use the ones prepared by the tournament."
" Also, please note that if you attack your opponent after the bracelet is broken, you will be disqualified."
This seemed to be the end of the explanation, but the official forgot to tell something important, and as if he remembered, he added one last thing.
H, "Oh, and this bracelet is very valuable, so if you lose it, you will be disqualified."
It is made of a very rare material and can only be produced in very small quantities.
"Is it okay to use such a valuable item in an arena? Isn't it something that many nobles would want?"
"I think , yes. But this bracelet has a drawback.""
"Drawback? It sucks up a lot of magic power?"
"No, it doesn't. This bracelet ...... only lasts for one day."
"Oh, I see. That makes no sense then. But why don't we just keep a bunch of them?"
"As I said before, it's difficult because we use rare materials. As I said before, so if you lose it, you are disqualified.
"It's a sad situation, isn't it ......?
"Yes. I am sorry, but I hope the people will understand."
"All the players for the first match are here. Let's move the other to the waiting room."
All but the two remaining people move to the waiting room. Then, the two remaining people were taken by the facilitator to the match venue. On the way, they walked silently behind the attendant without talking.
They were both concentrating on their upcoming fight. They had fought once before, but they knew it was different. Baynard is looking forward to seeing how much Leolde has improved, and Leolde is itching to see how far he can go.
Finally, the curtain rises on the fighting tournament.
