699 697 Tournament Table (1/2)

The day after I watched the qualifying game.

'The combination was announced, but this is…. I knew him all of a sudden.

(... who?

”Well, I thought you didn't remember.”

We couldn't wait for the news to arrive at the inn, and we came to check the combined chart posted in front of the arena.

It has the names of 64 people in the main battle, two piles of 32 tournaments, a table of types written to face each other.

And at the beginning of the table, Fran's name is written.

Because this is a so-called A-seed treatment. Apparently this place was given due to the track record of being third last year.

True reverse of the table. Diaz's name is on the B-Seed location. Across the table, C had Hilt's name. The diagonal D-seed is Fermus.

This seed is said to take precedence over simple ranks and fame, as well as previous year rankings. That meant that Fran, a Rank B adventurer, was ahead of Diaz and Hilt in Rank A.

A seed feels good.

That seems to be Fran with us, and he looks at the tournament table with his eyes shining.

(Master, you have the most names!

'Oh, this is going to get noticed. I can't show you a game like that. ”

(Hmm! Good luck)

If you go in due course, the semifinals are Diaz. The final would be Hilt or Fermus.

”The opponent of the first battle is Dufour.”

(... who?

”You did an archery on Barbora, didn't you? Look, it's a request from Gumd.”

Fran has forgotten, but is one of the runaway adventurers he met in the Barbora Adventurers Guild. At Gumd's request, I broke their nose columns.

The three of us together, Riddick, Naria and Miguel, were also together in the escort of a ship going to the Land of the Beasts, and they also did the archery on board.

I seem to remember quite a few things about the three guys I worked out with, but they seem to remember about the other guys to the extent that they were ”something”.

”Look, it was the strongest phantom swordsman of all the runaways of that time.”

(... was there, maybe?

Even if I taught him the fine features, he only seemed to recall voyage. Well, even though you said you were somewhat strong, that's the level in the rush.

I hope you remember this time, Mr. Dufour!

”So, the next thing you know, there's going to be a chance against...”

(Moldred)

Fran whines with pleasure.

He remembered this one well.

He was also with us on a request for escort on a ship going to the Beast Nation, a Rank B Adventurer.

He was not just a simple combatant, but the type who excelled as an adventurer. Of course, the fighting power was first-class. He was a master of spears and melting iron magic and skillfully used them.
