The next day, in the imperial arena.
>
The chancellor's voice echoes throughout the arena.
It seems that he is using wind magic to reverberate his voice.
>
As we had agreed beforehand, I was to be the spearhead of the team.
They want to make sure they get a point and lead in the first game.
"Hey, Julius!ãI'm glad you came, and I commend you for not being too scared to go back home."
On the ground came an anti-fighter from the empire.
"I'm surprised you didn't run away, too."
"...... you can hear the cheers, the cheers."
From the arena, many people of the Imperial City are cheering for the antis.
Not only the people of the city, but also the other representatives of the Imperial Academy were looking at him expectantly.
"I, who carry the people's expectations on my shoulders, will not be so careless as to flee before the enemy!"
Anti-Principal's chest heaves with pride.
He seems to be on a different level from just another high-minded idiot aristocrat (like my parents).
"I like you more and more, my friend.
"Whoa?ãWhat the hell, another service for Miss Dantalion~?"
A masked man in a cape approaches.
"Is that you in the east, Zagan?"
"Oh, yeah. Well, be easy on me.
Next, a bald man with a big body walks up.
"I'll be playing for the Holy Empire. I'll be your host.
Takeru says with a grin.
Takeru is going to be in the tournament. I thought it would be Artoo who could become the god of thunder.
It's a race.
We have our own strategy. Julius, Anti, and Zagan. Let's compete with our best!"
Me and Zagan nodded.
Anti looked blue and trembled.
"...... don't worry, killing is forbidden by the rules, you can't die, I can't die, so don't worry, don't worry!"
Somewhat.
Pang!ãA gunshot rang out, and soon after that.
"In my fist, Susanoo!"
Takeru, a priest of the Holy Empire, raises his fist in the air.
When he slammed the ground as hard as he could, the entire ground shook.
"What?ãWhat was that?
Don't stop. Let's go.
"d*mn!"
Anti runs off, wobbling.
I stayed where I was and waited for the next change.
The soil of the ground rises, creating a field of rocks.
The whole area has turned into a series of small mountains.
"What the hell is going on?ãChancellor!ãIt's foul, isn't it?
"Then how do you explain this phenomenon?
>
"How could such a ridiculous thing happen?
"Yes, you can. With the power of the reincarnated.
Takeru smiles belligerently.
"You saw right through me. That's the kind of man Kazuma admires."
The monk raises his fist and taps the ground again.
A rock rose up from the ground and transformed into a huge arm that looked up at him.
"UGYAAHH!ãThe big monster battle started right away!"
A huge arm of rock swings down at me.
A super-fast blow from an overwhelming mass.
Pash!
I hold his arm with my hand and clench it tightly.
Boom!ãThe rock shatters.
"You'll do it!ãHow about this then!ãNuh!"
This time, they hit the ground in rapid succession.
Numerous fists of rocks attacked me.
I see through all of them and dodge them with minimal movement.
That's when it happened.
Hiccup......!
A slash aimed at a tendon is fired from behind the blind spot.
I do a backflip on the spot, and land on the rock's arm.
"d*mn, I'll have to avoid that one. You're a monster. Does it have eyes in every direction?"
Below you is Zagan with a knife.
Poison was dripping ...... from the blade.
"Hey, hey, hey!ãChancellor!ãHe's carrying a normal weapon...ohhhhhh!"
"Hey, what's ...... going on?"
"Look, Anti. Here's your chance. You'd better get to the finish line, wouldn't you?
With a "what the heck is this?" look on his face, Anti comes back around the perimeter.
>
"They came in second. That's great."
"No, no, no!ãWhat the hell is going on?ãYou tell me!ãThis hole!ãThe Imperial and Eastern players!"
"What? You're in space."
"Ugh!ãSpace, huh?
"Oh. I just grabbed the ground and threw him toward where you weren't."
Takeru and Zagan were the only ones standing on the ground at that moment.
I just threw them off the ground into space.
Isn't that easy?
"Where is it!ãI've got a lot of things I want to get into already!"
"Oh, that's good."
"How did you get to the finish line when you lost the ground?
"The chairman told me to run 1,000 meters in this event. I didn't say run 1,000 meters on the ground.
"I thought killing was forbidden!ãYou can't go into space in the flesh, you'll die!"
"Don't worry, I'm alive. Okay?"
""Oh.""
"What the hell?
Right in front of us were Zagan and Takeru.
They had returned from space in their own way.
"Took longer than I thought it would."
"Oh no, this one took one!ãI didn't expect him to grab the earth and throw it into the air!"
"That's Julius. No wonder they call you the devil!"
We're laughing.
"No, no, no!ãYou guys blew up into space!ãWhy are you still alive!"
""What, this isn't going to kill you?""
"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!ãA big athletic meet of monsters!
In the end, the order was me in first place, Anti in second, Zagan in third, and Takeru in fourth.
"Your old brother is a fraud. Is he going to stab me one of these days?"
