Okay. It is the morning of the day of the event.
We quickly ate breakfast, prepared bentos, MP recovery tea and snacks. It already feels like an outing.
Then everyone armed themselves, I [disguised] as Dalia (red hair, orange eyes, light brown skin) and we [teleported] to that inn in the capital.
We are supposed to be staying here after all.
And then we put all our luggage into leather bags, or rather, leather knapsack-like things we had bought, bags that this world’s travelers use, and headed to the colosseum.

the time has come~

Registration was being conducted at the colosseum.
Today is the Mono section, so the registrations are being done one by one.
Here, I registered as Dalia-san without much difficulty and received an explanation of when it is my turn etc.
It seems the number of participants this year is very high, so there will be 8 blocks of battle royale and 2 winners from each block can move on to the second round.
As for why 2, maybe because it really is a shame if 2 very strong people ended up in the same block and take down each other, or because there is no time to do 16 blocks, there are various opinions.
I am……block G.
Mhm~, what about the others?
“I’m A.”
“Eh, mhm~……I’m also A. Wah~, we overlapped. Ah, but it’s fine even if 2 overlap.”
“Eeeeh!? I’m also A though.”
……Suzumoto, Katori and Hariu have already overlapped at A.
This means at least one of them will be unable to make it out of the first round.
“Mhm~, then I’ll resign. My fighting style is not suited for one-on-one either.”
Since Katori said that, Suzumoto and Hariu will probably win.
Mhm, do your best.
“I’m B. Any other in B?”
“Ah, I’m B too, I’ll be in your care……it would’ve been better for there to be a front line……sorry for it being me……”
B is Hagasaki-kun and Kariya.
Mhm~,  can the 2 of them do well and win?
Both of them might not make it. Magicians are disadvantaged at these times.
“C is me only? I’m not sure about this.”
Seems like C is President only.
This allocation also makes me feel uneasy. Please do your best.
“D is……me only? Uwah~, seriously~?”
D is also Toriumi alone. But this feels more stable. Do your best.
“I’m……F”
Kadomi-kun is F. He will definitely win, I, think.
……hm? But, then, that? I’m, alone?
“Maito?”
“G”
“Good luck.”
Mhm, that careless tone is understandable.
“So basically, none of us are in E and H, one of us is in C,D,F and G, so there will definitely be at least 8 people other than us in the second round.”
……hm? This, could this mean, there is quite a high chance I have to fight seriously in the second round?
“Maito-san, are you okay?”
“I only have enough confidence that I cannot confidently say I’m okay!”
“I don’t want to have to run around again after you get kidnapped.”
Whether you want it or not, it just happens……
“Maito-san, for now please think about winning the first round. The second round is after that so you think about that afterwards.”
……well, it is as President says.
For now, I need to do my best for the first round……

…….ded

And so, we first went to the audience seats.
Suzumoto, Hariu and Katori are block A so they should be standing by.
Hagasaki-kun and Kariya in block B have also went to the waiting room already.
And so, we will be relaxing and and enjoying the show here.
“The block A people are slightly disadvantaged, they have to fight without knowing anything about how the people of this world fight.”
What President says is quite right.
In that sense, I am the most advantaged among us.
Block G is the latest among us, so I can watch everyone fight and study them a little more before going for my own match.
Of course, I am curious about the average strength of my opponents.
Mhm~, the block A and block B people really are quite disadvantaged.
More than half our members having been distributed into A and B is painful.
Well, there’s nothing we can do about this, so it can’t be helped.
“We just need to study well in their place and win……let’s do our best.”
Well, as Kadomi-kun says, we just need someone among us to win.
One champion. The [Magic room from another world] that we want is the champion prize.
inb4 its the maid
“Ah, looks like it’s starting.”
Despite looking like they’ve entered relaxed spectating mode while snacking on baked sweets and tea, their eyes are serious.
I must also watch closely.
On the colosseum’s round stage, the participants have gathered.
25 of them.
Mhm~, a lot? Little?
No, it’s a lot. A melee of 25 people, a bit hard to imagine.
And then some kind of announcement was made, the rules and such were explained.
In the end, it was just an obvious explanation of the remaining 2 that are still able to fight and are not out of the field continue on to the second round, so I’ll omit the rest.
Also, it looks like the announcement was made by projecting the voice with magic.’

magic solves everything

“Then let us begin. Ready, fight!”
While thinking that the commentators in any world is the same, I watched the melee that has begun.
As expected, the 3 of them stand out.
Katori’s first attack alone blew away half of them, it’s not even funny.
After that it was like an elimination match with Hariu and Suzumoto cutting down the remaining.
This was done so quickly there was nothing to be learnt from it.
And just like that, it became only the 3 of them remaining, Katori resigned and the end.
In that time, it seems the commentators had no time to comment, there was no analysis at all.
……this is useless as reference~!

nothing to refer to yep

“This is horrible.”
“I agree.”
“Please fight properly next time.”
Katori really is abnormal.

pewpew

And next is block B. This has the 2 magicians, so it shouldn’t end up with me not knowing what happened.
And so, I carefully watched right from the start.
But terrifyingly, with Hagasaki-kun’s first [Lightning], it became 5 remaining people.
Conversely the remaining 3 people are amazing.
And then the remaining three people stared off with Hagsaki-kun and Kariya, then a knight-looking man finally moved.
He charged straight at Kariya with his sword ready. At the same time, a bandit-looking woman also tried to flank with a dagger.
But Kariya easily swept them away with [Light Ball]. Cruel.
And the remaining 3.
The last person that is not Kariya or Hagasaki-kun is a person that looks like a seasoned warrior, wielding a great sword his height. Since he is in full plate armour, his face can’t be seen.
That person charged at Kariya, got blocked by [Ark], kicked off that barrier and forcefully changed his direction towards Hagasaki-kun. Uwah, amazing. A pure feat of strength.
Hagasaki-kun promptly blocked with [Ice Shield] and quickly countered with [Ice Bullet].
The warrior-san tried to cut through the Hagasaki-kun togather with the ice shield but breaking the shield backfired, the [Ice Bullet] hit.
His armour froze from where it was hit and as the warrior-san’s movement stopped, a [Laser Shot] concentrated with [Lens] exploded onto him.
But the warrior-san forcefully twisted his body to avoid a fatal wound. Uwah, amazing.
Then a few rounds of offense and defense unfolded, I kept watching and studying.
Then the warrior-san’s strong attack finally hit Hagasaki-kun……and Hagasaki-kun was sent flying off the stage……just before that he froze his own feet to the very edge of the stage. Hieeeeee, that’s definitely cold!
But Hagasaki-kun got up from that situation with just the strength of his abdominal muscles and prepared ice shaped into spears at the same time, aiming straight at the chest of the warrior-san who has trying to deal the final blow.
……the instant the warrior-san’s armour broke and the ice spear pierce the warrior-san, the warrior-san’s sword knocked Hagasaki-kun off his feet……aaaaaaaaaaaaah.
both out?
……and so Hagasaki-kun was eliminated in round one.
From block B, the warrior-san and Kariya won.
Mhm. That might have been the highlight of the day.

there are other strong people….

Then block C. President’s turn, but as expected, this became a terrible tragedy.
President, what are you thinking, suddenly using [Poison Rain].
[Poison Rain], as it’s name says, it is a technique that creates a rain of poison……well, basically, instant cries of agony.
Only a magician-like person that immediately blocked it with some kind of magic and a dual-swordsman that could still barely stand was left.
Then that dual-swordsman was easily taken down with [Poison Arrow] and the end.
This was horrible.

……give them an antidote at least

Next is block D. Toriumi’s turn.
This is already the very stereotype of the stereotypical tank-type fighting style.
He just kept blocking and hitting.
That kind of durable fighting style is simple at first glance but is terrifyingly delicate and difficult.
To dodge or to parry or  to block with a skill.
This guy is very good at choosing from among those options.
And then with a magician-like woman and a bandit-like man left, he took down the stronger looking bandit-like man and game set.
Mhm~, his consideration to intentionally leave the weaker one to make the later fights more advantageous is lovely. Or rather, this guy really can do anything!

super balanced

E is……none of us are there, so well, you can kind of tell from looking.
The foreigner……meaning a person that was in the same school as us that was forced into slavery and sent here, that person was very strong.
Just by swinging his huge hammer, it is quite a threat.
Well, I’m not sure if you can get in close though.
Or rather, from looking, that foreigner……the person that was in the same school as us, he’s bad at fighting.
It might be that everyone else is too good, but each of his movements has useless parts that stand out.
If it’s that, even I might be able to dodge.
……no, even if I dodge, I will be trifled with by the stage cracked by the shock waves and lose.
So from block E, that person and a weak-looking beginner swordsman kind of onee-chan got through the first round.

another weak one left over?

Kadomi-kun should be going for F, but I myself am going for the next block G, so I can’t watch.
From what I heard later, Kadomi-kun was ridiculously strong.
That Kadomi-kun and one more, an archer woman that survived because she didn’t approach Kadomi-kun got through the first round.

poor archer

And block G. My turn. Let’s go all out!
