chapter 49
49 – Start of the Mu Tu Festival
“Are the preparations going well?”
“It’s going well. Of course.”
In the office, Seolah Yoo stares at Dayman in silence. A strange smile formed on her lips. After Cassian Kalidos went, Yu Seol-ah would often visit Dayman to watch their training process, as if she had a protective instinct.
“Your Highness, of course, is the season for her overseas tour, so she can’t come to see her right now.”
“Tsk tsk. What kind of school does such a busy person go to?”
“That’s why you skipped a lot of academy classes. I’m glad the midterm evaluation didn’t look at the number of days of class attendance. If you saw it, Her Highness, the princess, was 100% paid.”
Yoo Seol-ah giggles. She takes one look out of her office window and smiles even more happily.
Tomorrow.
It is already tomorrow.
And the fighting power that Seria is showing outside the office window is more than enough to put a smile on her face, who doesn’t smile often.
“Thank you. Yoo Seol-ah, so-so.”
“What am I?”
“Thanks to you, I was able to develop that much. Checker, Kiter, Fayah, Kershaw, and Lewis helped me a lot.”
“These are the people I hired to do that. Anyway, people will be surprised when they see that.”
A weird outfit.
A weapon that has been modified to such an extent that it is no longer considered a normal wand and staff.
However, even the terrifying destructive power that would quickly turn ridicule at the appearance into astonishment.
[Simulation ends. 2 Minutes 12 seconds.]
“Ah!! What a waste!! I could have shortened it a bit!!”
Yoo Seol-ah burst into laughter at the sigh of Seria, who had knocked out 6 knights who were at the level of becoming a swordsman in close-range combat.
“You created a monster in one month.”
“From my point of view, it is still not enough. It’s a level that almost imitates the 7 herbivores.”
Despite her words, she puts a proud smile on her face.
“But it should be enough to fool most knights.”
“I guess so. Please press the bridge of the nose of her first princess before coming.”
Dayman nodded her head naturally.
“Of course.”
One of the best festivals between the Mado Empire and the Jinyong Empire, held once every two years.
Erancal Mutuje.
A grand opening ceremony was held, and the best singers from Jinyong Empire and Mado Empire came out with splendid performances and performances, sang and performed passionately, making the hearts of the audience magnificent.
The very next day after such a grand and festive first day. The first match of Mutuje, the preliminary match, has begun. The preliminaries were divided into 5 stadiums in Erancal, the capital, and one of them. The waiting room inside Stadium 5 was full of people waiting for the preliminaries.
“Let’s go all the way!! Let’s make the best of it!!”
“Fighting!!!”
People’s attitudes were very different.
There were young people shouting “Fighting” With passion, while others were rearranging their equipment with serious faces.
Some people were doing maintenance in a private waiting room, not in a public waiting room, without revealing themselves.
But nobody.
“Ugh!! It’s finally starting! The opening ceremony yesterday. It was fun. The singer who came out to sing also sang well!! hahahaha!!”
It wasn’t as conspicuous as the gang of blonde tanned bullies who used a stilted tone.
Seven people enter the waiting room. Dayman, Seria, and the five assistant members of the Crown Building quickly caught the attention of the people in the waiting room.
“……What is that?”
“What are they doing?”
The outfits of Dayman and Seria were so unusual that everyone was at a loss for words.
Black pants. Black top. An extremely simple outfit with black boots. Black shields were fitted to his limbs, and what he wore as a helmet was a plague doctor mask with a short beak.
The wands and staffs held in both hands were also unfamiliar, completely different from those used by ordinary wizards. It wasn’t enough that it was curved in an unusual shape, just like a firearm used by commoners, a wand and staff with a trigger attached.
“……What the hell is that?”
“They seem to be the people who announced that they were the great warriors of the 2nd princess?”
“Those people who announced that they would participate in a one-man party of two?”
“What kind of equipment are those, really?”
A buzz begins to spread. Either that or not. Seria, Dayman, and the rest didn’t care at all.
“Miss Seria. Do the triggers on the wand and staff work well?”
“Yes. It works very well.”
“How does it feel when you infuse mana into the amplification core? Is it soft?”
“Yes. Great.”
“How about a crow mask?”
“The visibility is very good. Thank you. Kershaw.”
At Seria’s words, Dayman took off her crow mask and held her hand.
“Looking at the direction of the callus, it looks like you trained properly as I instructed. How are you? Have you gotten used to the 7 herb foods now?”
“Yes. That’s enough. I only trained for a month, so it may not be perfect like you, but the simulation results are still good. Did you see it too?”
“It was great. Well, from my point of view, it’s still full of holes, but you can’t be hung up on simulation forever. You have to experience it in real life to feel it. Whatever.”
“Can I do well?”
Seria takes off her crow mask and puts it over her head. Her face was full of unconcealable tension and fear. Her gaze goes to the countless people in the waiting room.
Those who all have outstanding practical experience.
In addition, there were also rare blessings.
Those who are gifted with extraordinary abilities that are incomparable to criminals from birth.
They were opponents that would never be easy even with Pankration.
Dayman lightly tapped Seria on the shoulder.
“Don’t worry too much. Ceria. We can win Be confident. Confidence!!”
“Aren’t you afraid in this situation?”
“Is there any need to be afraid of the dickheads?”
Dayman smiles. Still, when Seria’s expression doesn’t ease at all, he makes an exaggeratedly funny face.
“When an opponent appears, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh? You can do it. Isn’t that the part where you’re a b*tch?”
Seria’s expression softened at those words. She laughs as if she’s hurt her pride.
“f*ck for real. Looks like a real b*tch You shouldn’t be smiling.”
“Puhahahaha!! Feeding crap!! Performance is certain.”
“Where else did you learn that? It’s stupid.”
“Stupid? Hey sitpal!! Would you like a taste of matane? Behave well!”
“hahahaha!! Don’t really do it I’ve been learning stupid things from the internet.”
Dayman smiles brightly at the giggling Seria.
“You are pretty because you smile! Even if you look at our Seria, it’s true!!”
Seria’s face turns red at her stone fastball.
“You’re giving compliments like crazy.”
“Huh? What? Why is her face so red?”
“Ki, it’s because of the tension!! Please don’t look at me.”
“Okay. I will never see your face again!”
“Isn’t that a bit harsh?”
While we were walking around talking about silly jokes. Something creeps into Dayman’s eyes.
I see people looking down at me through the tall, neat glass of the private waiting room.
Most of them were people I saw for the first time, but there was one person who stood out.
People looking down at themselves in the most glamorous and largest waiting room.
The images of Cassian and Horace come into Dayman’s eyes.
Horace had a stiff face the whole time, and Cassian next to him playfully pretended to slit his throat and then pointed at Dayman.
“A foolish older brother is real.”
Dayman responded by pretending to hit her jerking off and then pretending to spray it on him. Cassian just smiled at him.
“We are still in the preliminary round. There is no need to fight nerves already.”
At the words of the checker, Dayman lowered his hands.
“You are right. I will be quiet.”
“Let’s go to the dedicated waiting room. You can watch other people fight there. It will be fun. It will also be a power analysis of the opponent.”
“Looking forward to it! Let’s go!!”
Yoo Seol-ah was indeed Yoo Seol-ah.
The waiting room she reserved for her was one of the most luxurious waiting rooms compared to her other waiting rooms. Snacks and sofas inside. It was equipped with all kinds of convenience facilities, and on one side, a large hologram TV that filled an entire wall was turned on and relayed Mutuje in real time.
“It seems that other stadiums have already started. Our stadium video is here. The first team will be in in a minute.”
“Ohhh!! It’s amazing!! Where can I see you?”
Daman ran to the TV, lay down comfortably on the sofa, and started watching the video on the TV. Seria and the rest lay down on the sofa in a comfortable manner. The rest of the members, who did not plan to directly participate in the battle, brought snacks that were provided and started eating them one by one.
The only exception was Kiter.
“Please lie down. I will give you a massage.”
“Oh! Please, Kiter!!”
“Me too, please. Mr. Kiter.”
“Heh heh! Of course!”
He focused on gently relaxing the bodies of Dayman and Seria, who were lying on the sofa, with expert skill. Feeling his comforting touch, Dayman and Seria could leisurely watch the others fight the arcane golem.
“……Isn’t this quite interesting?”
And it wasn’t long before Dayman fell deeply in love with TV.
The editing and the proper explanations of the commentators were fun, but basically the fight itself was very lively.
The content was a repetition of simple things.
“Participation number 178. It’s Rio & Kelsey’s party!! It looks like you’re getting ready?”
When the party walks out and enters the huge square arena, 100 meters wide and 100 meters long, the arcane golem placed in the center wakes up and starts attacking them.
Then, the party members use their combinations to fight the Arcane Golem. If all 8 golem cores are destroyed before all party members are defeated, the party member is promoted.
If you fail, you are eliminated.
However, the strategy unfolded on top of this simple rule was different each time.
“Tie up!! Bind and attack!!”
There was also a strategy in which three battle mages were boldly used to bind the golem and make it immobilized, and then the knights clung to it and smashed the core.
There was a party entirely made up of knights, and there was also a party made up entirely of battle mages.
It was very exciting to see various parties come out with different tactics and equipment and try to destroy the golems in the shortest time.
“It’s popular for a reason. How often would ordinary people see wizards and knights fighting? It’s popular because you can see things you used to see in movies live.”
Checker said calmly and shrugged his shoulders.
“There is no special team. There are a few teams that have made bold attempts, but…… The attack time is too late.”
“There aren’t many teams that finish under 3 minutes.”
Clear within 3 minutes.
Most of the guys who tried something different were stumped and failed to pass this time and were eliminated repeatedly. On the other hand, most of the guys who succeeded were the ones who added some creative variations to the standard party composition.
“On average, good guys clear the golem in about 1 to 2 minutes.”
“Yes. That’s usually enough. The really good guys clear it in under a minute.”
“Hmm……”
“How do you see it?”
At Checker’s words, Dayman smiled.
“Even if only our Seria leaves, there are thousands of guys who can be organized within a minute.”
“I think so too. Compared to Pankration, it’s a tactical system that’s definitely inferior. But that one You have to be careful with that.”
Checkers stop eating popcorn and point to a team on TV. Dayman’s gaze returns to it, and his eyes widen.
“Ooh, what is that?”
You can see a knight slicing the body of a golem as lightly as tofu. Even though it was a golem covered with cardiom armor that scattered mana, the knight’s sword attack was overwhelmingly destroying the golem’s body unlike other knights.
“Blessed. It is the blessing of amputation.”
“A blessing?”
“They are blessed to be born with a unique mana circuit that cannot be duplicated within the body. They are rare and special beings. There are plenty of them in Romelln.”
“Can I copy that?”
“With the development of magic technology, many attempts have been made to copy, but it is fundamentally impossible. Because it is a very complex mana circuit that is delicately connected to the mind and body.”
“I see.”
“While Pankration is overwhelming in terms of sheer superiority in tactical systems, the existing tactical systems are very specialized to make those few special Blesseds stand out. Those are the beings that Pankration really needs to overcome.”
Daiman looked closely at the knight who had been blessed with amputation for a long time at the words of the checker. A smile forms on his lips.
“If those guys who have grown up to their physical limits in an instant with the Cardidas procedure have a blessing… I’m sure monsters that can’t be compared to before will be born.”
“Exactly.”
“It’s interesting. Very funny. I can’t wait to see how they attack.”
Checker nods his head in agreement.
“I am also very curious. An outdated tactical system that lacks innovation and excellence, but has been developed to boost the few Blessed Ones. On the other hand, it is an advanced combat system that anyone can learn, but it is not just for one Blessed One. Who will be the winner?”
The moment the checkers said that.
“Daman. Miss Seria. Get ready to compete. Preliminary starts in 10 minutes.”
Paiya answered a phone call and informed the two that their playing time was approaching.
“Thanks, Kiter.”
“Say something.”
A body fully relaxed after receiving Kiter’s massage.
Tactical system and weapons that have been improved upon improvement. Equipment.
And Dayman and Seria, who have been training endlessly.
“Come on. Then, would you like to go to George’s?”
It was the moment when the two dark horses that drew the most attention of this Mutujae appeared in front of the public for the first time.
