“I guess it’s over. It’s a bit boring for people to react like that.”
As soon as the thick smoke that covered the room disappeared,
The situation inside the arena, which had been hidden by smoke, was clearly revealed.
The number of people who had excitedly entered the preliminaries had decreased by more than half, leaving it empty.
Those who were still holding on inside were relieving their fear in their own way.
For example, trying to stay in place by covering both eyes and ears,
It was like he just lost his mind and laughed.
“Now! everyone! How was it? Overcoming this cloud of despair was the first step to becoming a warrior.”
While looking around the chaotic stadium,
The host who had disappeared reappeared.
“Hey! How can you suddenly attack me like this?”
“That’s right! I almost thought I was going to die!”
Although there are countless cries of those who have come to their senses,
The host continued speaking without paying attention.
“To become a warrior who will save the world,
You should be able to withstand no matter how sudden the situation is!
A total of 8,239 people have passed this first stage.
Congratulations!!!!”
Over 40,000 people can be reached in less than 30 minutes.
The number has decreased to below 10,000.
The participants, who had been complaining at the host’s loud cheers, changed their attitude and shouted together.
At first, I was confused and upset by the sudden attack, but
It may have been because of the relief that he had endured it and survived.
“Now! Without stopping, we will introduce the second gate of the preliminary round for selection of heroes.”
Are you doing it right away without even giving yourself a break?
Are they trying to finish the third stage of the preliminaries so quickly?
“The second gateway is… ‘Death Vortex’!”
***
“Huh… wow… Yuuna… are you okay…?”
“Ugh… I was so shocked that I sat down…”
Isaac and Yuna steadfastly survived despite the ‘cloud of despair.’
‘I was so scared, I wanted to run away right away, but… Yuuna was watching.’
‘I vividly remembered scary things I had never experienced…
But I can’t helplessly get eliminated in front of Isaac!’
The two didn’t want to show each other that they were lacking,
I endured the first step with a strong mind.
“We… we will definitely go to the finals together…!”
“Yes!”
While Isaac and Yuna reaffirm their promise to each other,
The host of the selection competition continued to explain the second stage, ‘Death Spiral’.
“To become a warrior, of course you need strong physical strength!
At the center of the arena, a giant rotating body is summoned that continues to spin.
All you have to do is hold on without hitting the rotating body.”
The content of the second preliminary round is to continuously run and endure in an infinitely rotating rotating body.
It is intended to test one’s physical strength and endurance, which are one of the qualifications for becoming a warrior.
“Those who hit the rotating body or collapse from exhaustion will be automatically repatriated out of the Glory Arena via a nameplate.
There will be no casualties!”
A safety device to prevent anyone from getting hurt or killed.
The name plate was issued as a proof of participation in the selection competition and at the same time as a safety device.
“It doesn’t matter which method you use.
All you have to do is hold on for just 30 minutes.
Then once again… I will do it again!!!!!!”
With a loud shout from the host announcing another beginning,
A rotating body with two giant pillars attached was summoned to the center of the stadium.
And the rotating body immediately started spinning.
“Ugh…! You have to run first! Yuuna!”
“Ugh… Ahhh!”
Isaac quickly helped Yuna, who had fallen, to her feet.
It helped prevent collision with the rotating body.
Like them, the participants all started running in the direction in which the rotating body rotated.
“Wow…! Wow…!”
“Yuuna! Don’t get tired already! I have to run somehow!”
Yuuna was probably due to the mental shock from the first stage,
I can’t run properly and am struggling.
My legs have already given out once, barely able to move forward, kicking the ground.
He is breathing as if he will soon become exhausted.
“Keuuu…! I said it doesn’t matter which method I use…”
“Ah… Isaac?! are you okay! I can still run!
Isaac was anxious that Yuna might be eliminated,
He picked up the staggering Yuna and started running.
“Ugh! The speed suddenly increases!”
“No!!!”
To make matters worse, the speed of the rotating body became faster and faster, but
Isaac ran vigorously while holding on to the weight of two people.
“Even you… You shouldn’t fall because of me!!”
“It’s okay. I am confident in my physical strength. Don’t worry.
By any chance… Yuna could help me next time, right?”
Isaac is a warrior with strength and tenacity.
Although it is a situation where you have to run quickly and continuously,
This is something he can endure, as he has continued to train at high intensity for several years.

“IC… Are you making me run for some reason out of nowhere? Hmm…”
Because of this voluptuous body, it trembles even when walking.
Having to run is such a hardship.
“But… didn’t you say it doesn’t matter which method you use?
Could it be…”
Apparently, the host said that it doesn’t matter which method is used for 30 minutes.
The second evolution of nanomachines achieved after establishing the Nemesis Empire.
There was a skill that said it was possible to levitate in the air through magical energy and physical evolution.
That means you can fly in the sky.
“Obviously… you said it had nothing to do with it, right? Hmm…!”
I create an upward current by hitting my magic power with the magic power remaining under my feet,
Stretch your legs, relax your body, and slowly rise.
“I flew… I just need to last like this for 30 minutes.”
After slowly rising to a height where it will not hit the rotating body,
Take the most comfortable posture possible so that you can maintain it for a long time with minimal horsepower.
“What…! That guy flew!”
“Wind magic is difficult to maintain for a long time…!”
Wind magic has been developed with a focus on creating strong winds quickly rather than maintaining the intensity for a long time.
Therefore, my actions cannot be understood through the common thinking of magicians.
“30 minutes? Is it worth staying like this all day?”
Looking down from the sky feels like watching a lab rat.
In a stadium that continues to run like a blender,
Each person runs hard to avoid falling in their own way.
Although they are struggling desperately to survive in the preliminaries,
To me, it’s no different from just watching squirrels running around in a treadmill.
People who fell or hit the rotating body were seen being sent out of the arena in a flash.
Wizards who continuously cast explosive fire magic to gain momentum and stand up again every time they fall.
These warriors run with stamina trained over a long period of time, as evidenced by their strong physiques.
There was also a young warrior running carrying a tired-looking wizard.
Although each participant had a variety of reasons,
I keep running with the single thought of wanting to become a hero.
A long time passed like that,
The treadmill repeatedly sped up and slowed down, and then slowly began to stop.
“It’s almost over now… I should go down slowly too.”
Gradually the air current under your feet fades away,
It lands on the ground just in time for the rotating body to come to a complete stop.
People around him were seen sighing with relief and cheering that he had survived once again.
“Now! Congratulations to all of you who have overcome the Death Whirl, the second hurdle of the Hero Selection Competition!!!”
When the rotating body, which had completely stopped spinning, was summoned with a loud sound and disappeared,
The host appeared again and offered congratulations.
“To the total 2489 participants who passed both stages,
Congratulations once again.
And the last question you might be most curious about is…
It will be held here again tomorrow.
I guess… it’s too harsh to complete such a difficult schedule in one day!”
It looks like they weren’t planning on completing all three gates in one day.
“The final hurdle of the preliminaries that will be held here at the Glory Arena at 9 am tomorrow is……’Last Man’s Standing’!
Approximately 2,500 participants compete in unlimited competition,
We plan to select 100 warrior candidates to advance to the finals.
Casualties may occur at this final hurdle.
For those who are concerned about injury or death…
You don’t have to come out at 9 a.m. tomorrow.”
“What…? So you’re saying we’re going to have a slaughter here?”
“This is ridiculous! How can we kill each other!”
“Let me say it again.
For those of you who are concerned, please do not come out tomorrow.”
