Chapter 865 – The Hero’s Gaze Finals

Hero’s gaze.
A world-class tournament held by the teenage families descended from the Ten Heroes.

And this time, with the support of the Suruta Empire, it was recognized as the largest “Fighting tournament” In history both in name and reality.

Originally, it was a tournament with many things to see with famous talented people from all over the world, but as Suruta put in a large number of manpower and implemented related policies, people who smelled the smell of talent and money flocked like a cloud.

Literally, world-class stars, and not world-class figures, even regional stars who can be said to be representatives of a region participated in the competition, drawing great public attention to the competition.

Not only was it broadcast live to the world as a magic tool, but it also made a warp gate through Sers with a large amount of money, and sold tickets as spectators regardless of status.
Tickets must be purchased on site, but they were all sold out in less than a minute.

There was a limit to how many people could accommodate in Sersu, so they put a limit on the number of people, but Sersu was extremely crowded with untimely success.

And finally, the day of the tournament.
The tightly closed floating island has been opened.

Other than those who used to live, only those with a ticket can go up to the floating island.

They get envious glances this evening. I was eagerly awaiting the opening of the competition.

And, of course, the participants were able to look around the venue one step faster than the spectators.
Acquaintances of the participants were specially allowed to accompany them, including the Seven Knights of Suruta.

Considering that the Suruta Empire greatly supported this tournament, and that the principal Lenea’s close friend was the empress, it was only natural.

And after being plagued by Ga-woon for several days, they marched in a manner worthy of knights, overflowing with worldly moderation and full of courtesy.

Ga-woon stayed still with a liberated face, but the fear that was firmly etched into his heart for the past few days made their actions spontaneously sharp.

And when they arrived at the Colosseum under the gaze of the floating islanders… They were at a loss for words.

‘…This is the Colosseum?’

Yes, I was determined to some extent.
Such a world-class scale.
In particular, this is an event that Empress Scaldia is putting her heart and soul into.

The Empress generously released her money this time.
Not only talented architects and designers, but also Dwarves, the best race in this field, participated in large numbers.

Not only
Considering that the preparation period for the competition was relatively short, they even called ‘Construction Wizard’.

Since both magic and architecture were required to be understood, Suruta hired many of them in advance, even those who boasted of high ransom, which were very rare and said that paying a daily wage was expensive.

But Lenea rejected all that support.

He boasted that the Prunar Academy was enough.

He frowned at Suruta’s court wizard and other humans, saying that they were arrogant at heart.
No matter how much he is the world’s best wizard, construction is a different field.

Of course, building a building will take an instant, but convenience and structure. Design considerations are a completely different story.

However, Scaldia saw it for herself and nailed it not to doubt it.

That Scaldia.
Before becoming empress. A swordsman who has traveled the world since he was young and participated in all sorts of coliseums.

That Scaldia, who likes fighting to the death, built a large colosseum in Suruta, built an arena in each area, and then repeated remodeling.

With her admission, dissatisfaction was inevitable.

So did the knights.
So, she imagined the size of the Colosseum in Horli, the capital of Suruta.

The leader of the knights thought that it would be difficult to compare it with the splendid Colosseum decorated with rare gems and minerals, including Yamyeongseok.

Still, I prepared my mind so that I wouldn’t be surprised if I saw at least that level of architecture.

But this was so… More than expected.

“Oh my god!”

The leader of the Knights of the Sacred Tree looked at the person who gave an exclamation.

An old man with a strict impression that seems like he’s about to break his temper.
His clothes shone so brightly, and he held a long staff in his hand.

He was a court mage in Suruta.
This Gyula class mage who had been chasing Scaldia was smiling like a child with his eyes sparkling.

“Oh, to use this kind of magic…!”

It was.
It was magic.

But at the same time, it was also real.
The Commander of the Torch Knight looked down at his feet.

Soil.

Something that doesn’t seem to fit the Colosseum at all.
However, I couldn’t complain.

That’s because the place called the Colosseum was wide enough to be about one city.

“A subspace…?”

I was stunned.
The position of Commander of the Knights of the Sacred Tree is a very high position.

I’ve seen countless magic tools made in the ‘head shop’ of strangers, or the magic tower, which have a much wider inner space than the size they appear on the outside.

But this is different.

Clouds flowing from the sky.
Hot sunlight.
Moderately muddy ground.
Smell of fresh air.

Everything was a clear reality.

But there were also sights that I could realize were not real.

They are spectators embroidered in the air.
Numerous chairs sway as if overlapping paintings.
It is truly a magical spectator seat that has been processed so that no matter where you sit, you can see the scene vividly.

Do-do-do-do-do.

The knights blankly looked back.

Buildings were still appearing in real time.
Stone walls that appeared from unknown places were piled up, and a castle was built in an instant, and the castle was dismantled and became a gymnasium.

As if it was an experiment, the court wizard even shed tears as he kept changing his form.

“I was just a frog in a well.”

That picky old man admitting his defeat.
But I wasn’t even in the mood to be shocked.

Is this magic?
I’ve seen a lot of wizards, but this, this rather…

‘It’s a god.’

There were priests nearby, so he didn’t say anything that would cause trouble.
Still, it was a spectacle that I couldn’t help but think.

Before entering this place, there was only one small circular building, so what the hell is this? I sighed, but I felt ashamed of myself from before.

‘It’s enchanted.’

It’s a magical space, so of course you can feel the mana, but the knights have a bizarre feeling that can’t be explained. I was able to detect magic with a sense that could be called a sixth sense.
There are many magics hanging in this space.

The court mage chattered incessantly.

“Amplification magic. Shock absorption magic. Haha! This space will never collapse! Where… Move magic, Transformation magic. Oh my God. Observation magic, Even fantasy magic that distorts the boundary between dreams and reality!!”

Wizards, including the court mages, stamped their feet and were delighted like children.
The most creepy thing is that this work was started only three days ago.

‘Is this Prunar Academy?’

Truly, it was invincible.
The Commander of the Holy Tree Knights was dizzy.

In fact, knowing that even Lenea before awakening could have been possible with a little effort, she would have been even more frightened.

Not only did she make an effort, but the skills of her instructors also went into every detail to bring out the best in her.

It was a perfect space.

“This sounds like… Fun.”

The knights’ hearts naturally pounded.

It deserves it.
Even in the Colosseum, competitions are held with all sorts of concepts, but in the end, the space was fixed, so there was no choice but to have limitations.

However, the shape and environment of this space change at the will of the caster.

Perhaps, if you put your mind to it, a duel on a hot volcano or a battle royale in an urban area with many buildings will be possible.

Although the Knights of the Suruta Empire always undergo rigorous training and receive the best management, they have always dreamed of training close to actual combat, but it seemed that their dreams could come true here.

The other contestants also widened their eyes and were overwhelmed by the great magic.

At least the Prunar Academy participants were calm and not surprised by the space… They were being laughed at.

“Those guys. Are they pale?”
“Joy.”

Someone is worried
Someone snorts

That’s why, their faces were so pale.
They are students of the academy.

Reus.
Diamond.
And it was Mayal.

“Wow… They all look strong…”

To Mayal’s admiration, Dia squeezed the hilt and made a determined face.
Reus said he had a stomach ache and was looking for the bathroom.

“The competition hasn’t even started yet, aren’t you too nervous?”

A beauty dressed in leather with a small area approached.
She used to be called Whip Master, and now she is Minne, a lecture assistant at Prunar Academy.

“Miss Minne…”

Dia had a teary face and Minue had a stern face.

“Look at them. They look down on us.”

At that, the students looked around.
Indeed, there were also those who raised the corners of their mouths or laughed openly.

“They said they made it to the finals. Kids are kids.”
“It must be proof that the level of the last contestants was terrible.”
“What? What did you say? Shall we go together?”
“Ah?”

It’s an official competition, but in the end, those who fought a rough fight participated.
Inevitably, quarrels broke out here and there.

Most of the time, it was divided into two factions to fight, and it was divided into categories of existing participants and subsequent participants.

Existing participants suddenly did not look pretty in the middle of the competition, and subsequent participants were annoyed that they were straining their shoulders because they had participated in a national-scale competition first.

“You are existing contestants. And you are the proud representatives of the academy.”
“Teacher…”

Dia made her hard face.
Mina laughed.

“Yeah. That’s how it should be. And if you’re really bothering me, tell Instructor Dre. I don’t know, but he’ll treat you properly, right?”

At the name of Dre, the knights of Suruta flinched in the distance.

“…And, indeed. The disciples of the sword of madness…”
“Come to think of it. I’ve heard the names. They’re disciples who use incomprehensible swordsmanship…”
“Who is that girl…”
“Stop. Don’t even think about looking at me.”

The knights quickly paid attention.
And a corner.
The trio of sideburns, no personality, and handsome men who were beaten and rolled like crazy by the senior knights trembled.

They dared not even look at Mayal, and hoped they would not be found.

Ding. Dong. Dang. Dong.

The school bell rang.
Participants looked up at the sky.

A huge distracting loudspeaker was floating in the sky, and it looked like a mascot with a mouth and eyes.

[Courageous and courageous participants. Welcome.]

A pleasant voice resounds.

[I will briefly explain the rules.]
[This competition is operated on a point system, and the person with the most points at the end of the competition will be ranked first.]
[How to get each score is described in detail in the paper that will be distributed in a moment, so please check it out. The penalty for not knowing the rules is to be borne by yourself. Do not forget it.]
[In addition to the participants, there are invited players.]
[Please note that all participants must challenge the invited players at least once.]
[Basically, it’s a one-on-one sparring format. A sudden mission may appear.]
[No matter how injured you are, you won’t die, so enjoy it to the fullest!]
[Ruler. Today is the first day, so to get a sense of the atmosphere, the competition will be held from the evening.]
[Good luck everyone.]

The loudspeaker is gone.
And food deuk. Hundreds of white hawks flew up and threw stationery at the participants.

Early bar. It was a rule book.
Participants familiarized themselves with the rules and gathered information about their surroundings and rivals.

And that night.
1st round was played.

***

“…”

I scratched my head looking at the results sheet.

Reus.
Diamond.
Mayall.

All performed very well.
It usually ended the opponent in one blow.

…But, thanks to Lenea-san forcing me to sit next to her and watching the tournament together, I was able to see all the participants vividly as if I were right next to them.

And what conclusion did you draw?

At this rate… Mayal will never win.

8 will be tough.

At the same time, a solution came to mind.
Inherent Ryunar… Strengthened.

In other words.
[Dirty black?!]
[Ughhh.]

…
No.
There must be another way…
