Chapter 126: Annoying

Two days before the tournament, Halekuwait suddenly moved next to Fishnatica. Once the shaking caused by the transfer had finished all the first years exited the building to look. Everyone else had of course experienced this before.

The students walked out the front gate to see a large dome shaped building with multiple pillars set between the schools, this was to be the venue where the tournament would be held.

But thats not all, around the venue, what appeared to be a town had popped up where there hadnt been one before. There were a couple hotels and several stalls where vendors were peddling food, it was very similar to what had appeared around the dungeon. This tournament isnt just for the representatives, it was in every sense of the word a festival and students would be given time to enjoy themselves at the festival. Of course there were more questionable establishments such as brothels and bars as well.

Some of the students took off st a run with their friends beside them unable to contain their excitement. The main gate now had two destinations, one was the road that we now saw in front and the other was were the teleportation gate led. The method to use it was very simple, you just keep where you want to go in mind as you pass through and if you want youll end up outside Qatar like you normally would. Those visiting or coming to Halekuwait however would just pass through the gate and arrive like normal.

Looking at this Masamune and his three companions were currently debating whether to run through it or stay where they were.

The tournament is in two days, shouldnt they go take a look?

Im going to go take a look, what are you three going to do?

Nems going too!

Nem is of course a representative like me so she should have a look as well.

What about you two?

I will follow along.

Whatever, Ill come.

Toa seems like shes in a bad mood, Id as if she was hungry but she just ate.

Nem is first!

Nem suddenly said as she took of running.

Its not like its going to disappear?

Nem is waving back at us telling us to hurry and Toas face finally began to loosen into a smile.

Geez.

The three of us followed behind the running Nem into the venue.

Its big!

Its too big, in a one on one match there would be a ton of wasted space. The venue was absolutely massive, it could seat more people than I could hope to count. Even now it had several students already seated there why though? Wasnt the match not for another two days?

I saw Patrick and Copan enter from another entrance, what a coincidence. Copan looked excited when he saw the venue, he didnt want to compete but one couldnt deny how amazing it all looked. Then students dressed in unfamiliar uniforms entered.

That..

Probably students from Fishnatica.

Sufilia answered.

Thats a uniform?

They were dressed entirely in white.

Of course we had a uniform as well, although it was quite simple with a beige blazer. My companions and I wore the uniform less often that when we first came to school but it least it didnt hurt my eyes like the other schools uniform.

It seems like some of the students know each other.

A few of the students where mingling together and talking to one another.

Uhm, are you the adventurer Nito!?

A student from Fishnatica suddenly called out to me with a look of longing. Ive seen it before but Im still not used to people looking at me like this.

Yes?

Can I shake your hand!?

I thought it was kind of annoying but I shook the guys hand and he left but Toa and Sufilia got aggravated because we were quickly surrounded by a flock of girls after that.

Can I shake your hand!?

Sure.

Kyaaaa!

Shaking hands was a hassle but it wasnt too bad, I even let some of them take pictures with me. I didnt realize how famous I was.

Make way!

I heard a voice shout from the back, maybe I should leave before we cause trouble.

Nito, why dont we head back? There are a lot of people here.

Yeah, lets do that.

Sufilia, Nem, and Toa all looked tired of looking at the venue.

Then why dont we go check out the town before we head back, there might be a bar there too.

That sounds good.

Nems expression doesnt change at all but Sufilia and Toa looked happy when I mentioned a bar. The four of us squeeze through the crowd saying Excuse us.

Wait!

An angry voice called out from behind me, well the voice wasnt angry but I was upon hearing it.

Are you Nito?

My companions stopped at looked at me as I stopped as well to look back at the voice.

Saeki..

The moment I saw his face I felt an intense hatred and bloodlust.

What? You know me?

Right in front of me, stood Saeki, I glared at him through the mask.

Nito.

Toa grabbed my sleeve and turned me to look at something else. From the opposite side of Saeki was another group of students rushing towards us, but thats not what was worrying. I was used to seeing students rush towards me but in the lead was Kawachi. I looked around and saw Koizumi as well, in fact I saw several faces that I knew there.

Even though I was confused by their appearance there I remained calm and carved each face into my memory.

About the tournament

Behind me Saeki started to speak.

Everyday Magicians practice their magic, and the work hard to be selected as a representative for the schools. This is a place where they come to be rewarded, to make a name for themselves and show off their magic. Its not a place from an adventurer like you.

I slowly turned back to Saeki.

I see, I understand why youre angry.

Saekis expression didnt change at all, he didnt recognize my voice at all either.

Youre Saeki right? Nice to meet you, I am the adventurer Nito.

Im not able to do anything to him right now.

Thats both do our best in the tournament. Im leaving now.

What the French, Toast? What did this guy think he was going to do? Im on a completely different level than he is, although I understand what caused this. Even now people look down on me because they cant feel my magic power and assume Im weak. But this is just annoying.

Do our best? Dont joke with me.

Saeki was extremely angry.. how annoying.
