You do it, the main draw. (2)

The draw for the main draw is broadcast in a slightly unusual way.

First, it is not the contestants who participate in the ranking matches who choose their own brackets, but rather the influential figures from each country who came forward choose our brackets.

The method at this time is completely random.

So, he said that if you do it wrong, there are rare instances where a dark horse and a championship candidate end up fighting in the round of 64.

And then the seed draw.

This is also completely like a lottery. The names of all the players who made it to the finals are written on a marble, which is placed inside a magic tool, and the influential figures who appear there each put a little bit of magic power into it to pull out the marble.

At this time, you must put in only ‘magic’ so that it cannot be literally manipulated from the outside, and if you use something magical with other intentions, then just bang. The lottery magic tool will explode.

The story about a certain rascal who tried to tamper with his disciple’s name in the old days and lost an arm thanks to him is a more famous anecdote than you might think.

It is also said that this anecdote clearly shows that while the hand may be faster than the eye, magic cannot be faster than a magical tool that has been given magic power.

And there’s another fun part about this raffle, and that’s…

“Kkulkul. In this old man’s eyes, that blue magician, Amira Jenna of the Amira Kingdom, seems like a suitable candidate to enter the Seed.”

“I also think that player Amira’s ability is high. However, player Toma, who was with her at level 3, was also a skilled player who was not far behind. I would like to put player Toma’s name in there by a very narrow margin.”

“Hmm… I don’t mean to disparage the two players above, but I’m a little worried because they seem like they’re already complete. Rather, I’d like to give my vote to Raoul Edmont of the Frisian Royal Academy, who I think will be able to make a big leap forward using this ranking match as a stepping stone.”

“As far as I know, you are famous as the head of a magician family, but why did you choose to be a prosecutor?”

“That’s why. Most magicians stop growing in their mid-twenties. I’ve seen too many people who were known to have considerable skill and talent not reach level 5 of their traits until they were in their thirties. However, talented swordsmen always break through their own walls when the environment is right. That’s why I… “

“””… … “””

Based on the previous ranking match videos, influential figures from each country (written as “powerful people from each country”) evaluate the abilities of each player and add their names to the seed recommendation magic tool.

This means that the probability of being placed in the seed increases significantly.

But, it must have been Clark Theodore who had said he would put me and Nora in the seed, but he showed up at first and greeted me, and then he didn’t open his mouth even once. And…

“Hmm. I get what everyone wants. But, how about those of you sitting here who have never expressed an opinion speak up?”

“Hehehe! Is this maybe my story?”

“… I’m sorry, but Your Majesty, didn’t you start off by praising your daughter?”

“Oh. That’s too bad.”

“… … “

“Piana, I think you’re talking about me.”

“I guess that’s what you were talking about, senior.”

“Both of you have spoken. Well then, shall we start with Fianna Stone, the black magician of the Kingdom of Frisia who rose to the ranks of magicians at a young age?”

The black magic tower’s magic tower lord. Black magician Fianna Stone.

The teacher, who had now returned to the appearance of a fresh and lively woman who looked to be in her early 20s rather than a child, had been crossing her arms and crossing her legs seductively, wearing a dress with a deep thigh slit, without even hiding her uncomfortable expression.

And then, the teacher finally let out a deep sigh as if he had thought about something when a question was asked of him.

“I thought no one wanted to talk, so I left on my own. Are you that clueless?”

“””””… … “””””

He glared at the blue-haired knight of the Kingdom of Frisia who had approached him.

The teacher, who didn’t really curse with his mouth, had a look in his eyes that said, ‘What do you want me to do? Do you want to hear what I have to say?’

I hoped it wouldn’t be an accident, but it seems like it was too much to ask of the teacher.

“Black Tower, what does that mean all of a sudden… “

“Your Majesty, Duke. As far as I know, you are a famous magician who has reached level 5 in both yellow magic and red magic by the age of forty.”

“That’s right. What does that have to do with what you’re saying now… “

“So, have you ever tried slime hunting?”

“Of course. My territory is not free from monsters either… “

“Then!”

The Master cut off the Duke’s words by stamping his heel hard on the ground with his foot, then continued speaking in an angry voice.

“Those who ran away in confusion when the slime appeared! On the other hand, those who calmly moved and attacked the main body even when the slime appeared!! Who is more outstanding? Do you not know if I don’t explain it to you? “

“That, that’s… “

The foreign duke took a step back as if he was scared by the teacher’s sharp voice.

Seeing his reaction, the Master continued to speak, looking coldly at everyone except Clark and the Empress, as if he was not talking to just him.

“I don’t know why you don’t want to bring up the topic of black magic, so you’re talking about other people on purpose. From your perspective, black magic is evil. That’s why I didn’t say anything and just watched. But since you insisted on poking me, I’ll poking you too. In a discussion about finding outstanding people, you don’t mention the names of those who have shown outstanding skills and left behind records. What do you want me to talk about?”

“Hehehe… I took it out?”

“… … “

The middle-aged imperial empress smiled brightly as if she was delighted by her master’s words.

Although she is not the princess’s biological mother, it feels refreshing to see her appearance somewhat similar to that of the princess.

And others either look like they’ve chewed shit at the Master’s bluff or just laugh awkwardly as if they have nothing to say.

Haha, as expected from a master. I don’t know about other people, but in front of someone who reached the rank of wizard through black magic, discrimination against black magicians is something that really gets you beat up.

“I said all I wanted to say. You guys can discuss it again or whatever. I already decided who to name.”

“Then, since the junior wizards have set the mood, I will speak first. First, about the meaning of the task I gave them in this ranking survival… “

When the master, who had been creating a good atmosphere by talking nonsense like a wizard, closed his eyes and snorted, the imperial wizard continued to speak as if guaranteeing that it was okay for him to talk nonsense like that.

The discussion about who would be each of the best players ended in a rather awkward atmosphere.

“Then! Now, let’s start the seed player draw!!”

Most of the influential figures, unable to reach an agreement, use their lottery tickets to enter their names into the magic tool.

Indeed, how will the Imperial Tower Lord plan to extract me and Nora as seeds?

“The first draw will be conducted by today’s special guest, Her Highness the Empress!”

“Hehehe. I hope my daughter comes out.”

She stood in front of the lottery machine, speaking confidently, as if she had no intention of hiding the fact that she had entered her daughter’s name.

Of course, it’s not like other people’s names weren’t mentioned, but it’s not a good thing to say something like that. It’s legendary that no one stopped him.

Soon, the lottery machine with our names entered started spinning, and the empress began to elegantly move her fan and pour magical power into her magic tool.

-Dalgrak!

And the name that came out right away was…

“Oh my, it really came out!”

“Ah, ah? I’m here! The name of the player who will be seeded 1 is none other than! The beautiful star of the empire and the princess, Coti Royal Labyrinth!!”

She was a princess.

Oh my goodness, so Nora and I are going to fill the remaining two spots?

The real story is so funny.

Next, a powerful figure from another country breathed magic into the machine, and Nora’s name appeared as if it were a given.

It seems like the real Clark Theodore has done something, and I can’t help but chuckle at Nora’s reaction of taking a deep breath behind me.

Well, I’ll be next…

“The 3rd seed that all the participants have been waiting for has been revealed! Who will be the name of the player who will be placed in the long-awaited last seed…!!”

The MC is getting excited and livening up the atmosphere. The face of Clark Theodore, who is in charge of the draw for this round, is briefly shown on the screen.

But, what’s with that expression? What is it? Why are you panicking?

The drums are even playing to liven up the atmosphere as it is the last seed.

The MC took the ball from another influential figure and started calling out names… What?

“The name of the player who will be seeded 3rd is! Raul Edmont!! Congratulations to the players who have been seeded in the ranking match!!”

” in?”

“Huh?”

“… … “

The story was as good as the story, so why didn’t I even get a seed?

No, where did my seed go? What is this? Give it back to me.

As I watched the TV showing Clark Theodore’s face, slightly pale, at the same time as the MC’s announcement, I couldn’t help but feel dumbfounded.

*

“Senior! What’s going on? Wasn’t our Rudis supposed to be deployed to Seed?!”

“… The voice is loud.”

“The inside of the car is under Silas’ magic anyway! Answer me right now!!”

The night after the ranking match broadcast ended.

Piana, who had already prepared the script and knew the outcome, got into Clark’s car and glared at him with her blue eyes, grumbling as if to show that the temper she had shown on the broadcast earlier was not her real temper.

Because the seed number 1 they chose was not the princess, but Rudis.

“Don’t be angry. I’m also flustered right now. That guy is coming up from the round of 64. I’m worried about how many people will get crushed without even showing their skills… “

“What does that mean! Did you forget that I told him he could move up easily so I was just going along with his senior’s rhythm?!”

Originally, I wanted to run to Rudis and comfort him for his hard work, and show him my smooth and plump body to seduce him.

Even so, the reason he endured all that and participated in external activities like this was because he wanted his beloved disciple to win comfortably.

But now that everything has been turned upside down, it was only natural for her to express her anger.

“Haa, just my guess. Maybe the empress did something.”

“What the hell?! How can that make sense?! You and I, both magicians, were watching, and what on earth did a level 5~6 magician do…!!”

“Hehehe. You can do anything, right? Like this?”

“”!!””

Inside the empty car, Clark and Piana were genuinely shocked when they saw the Empress suddenly appear in the backseat.

We knew that she had a level 5 or 6 in the magic skill, but we didn’t know that it was enough to fool our own eyes as magicians.

“… Since when have you been riding it?”

“Hehehe. I was riding before you, teacher.”

“I’m going crazy. What is this… “

The empress suddenly appeared. When Piana heard that she had heard their plot, she started to raise her magical power with a little more murderous intent.

However, the middle-aged empress, who only smiled as if she found Piana’s reaction amusing, opened her mouth to the two magicians in a soft voice.

“In this ranking match, I wanted to check the level and skill of the person my ‘daughter’ admires, so I took advantage of your ‘prank’ a little. So, can you give me a moment to tell you what ‘he’ and I think?”

“”… … “”

The smile of the empress who fooled the two wizards was a bit similar to the smile that appears when the princess is a villainess.
