Chapter 869 – The Hero’s Gaze Finals
“Isn’t that a good idea? Solving the score conflict problem with an event”
At Gald’s words, Kaisir, one of the captains of the Heart family’s knights, muttered at him.
‘Of course, the heat of the competition will rise even more…’
The current problem is that the conflict between the original participant and the follow-up participant is getting worse.
And the basis of that conflict is equity.
Existing contestants were displeased that the subsequent contestants participated in the finals without playing a single preliminary match, and subsequent contestants were dissatisfied that the previous contestants obtained scores that the existing contestants did not dare to catch up with.
Gald says he will solve the problem with an event.
It means that we will give huge points to those who make a noticeable contribution by opening a battle royale.
“My lord. I’m afraid, but in that case, only the follow-up participants who got a chance to narrow the score would be satisfied, and the dissatisfaction of the existing participants would explode even more…”
“Hmm.”
Gald rubbed his stomach and blinked his eyes.
It was the eyes of a man who had been told that it was unexpected at first glance, but Kaisir immediately lowered his head.
“I’m sorry. I was presumptuous.”
“Haha. I feel reassured to have loyal subjects who give me advice.”
Kaisir broke into a cold sweat in secret.
‘It’s hard to get a sense of distance because I’m used to serving my lord.’
Gold and Gald are essentially different human beings.
Don’t forget that
Gald. He is a nobleman and a merchant.
Ignore the slightest noise if it seems to be of benefit.
“Of course I thought about that too. Wouldn’t it be nice to penalize subsequent contestants?”
“A penalty…?”
“Subsequent contestants eliminated within a certain amount of time will also be eliminated from the finals.”
“…!!”
Haha. Seeing you surprised makes me proud!!”
Kaisir couldn’t even open his mouth.
So she cried inwardly.
‘You’re doing too much!!’
If I’m eliminated from the Battle Royale, I’m eliminated from the finals right away?
That’s too harsh a penalty.
I could see the intention to weed out the idiots who didn’t care if they were eliminated.
It’s a high-risk, high-return, but it’s a battle royale where everyone has to participate without a choice, so can there be no complaints?
Rather than getting rid of each other’s itches, the risk was too great, and there was a high possibility that the conflict would only intensify.
Originally, he was in a position to black out, but Kaisir, thinking of a certain man, had no choice but to ask cautiously.
“That… My lord.”
“Haha. My son hates it because it’s not fair, but don’t you know how much Gold loves this father? In the end, he’ll follow my will.”
“No. I mean…”
“Are you worried about Leor or Nova? Leor is no longer the center of a teenage family, but a toothless paper tiger, and Nova is Dre-sama… Mmm…”
Gald also noticed what Kaisir was trying to say.
Of course, that was considered from the beginning.
“I’ll tell the heir well. So, do as you say.”
“I will.”
There was nothing more to say.
Kaisir bowed his head and left the room to fulfill his instructions.
That night.
A notice about the timing and rules of the Battle Royale was distributed to the participants.
“What’s this?!”
“I’m going to die of annoyance!!”
The former was the cry of a follow-up participant, the latter was the cry of an existing participant.
“If you drop out of Battle Royale within 5 minutes and 30 seconds, you will be eliminated from the finals?
There are more than 40 talented people who would be sad if they were second, but do you know what variables will arise?
“Ha! We get 100 points even if the other players are eliminated, but subsequent contestants are awarded 250 points?”
Currently, the score of existing participants is 1300 points.
Subsequent contestants score 700 points.
There were many ways to get points, but the biggest point was, of course, winning in the finals.
Participants are not eliminated even if they lose up to 3 times, and if they do not lose in the 4th match, each of them will play a total of 8 matches.
Every time you win, you get 100 points, so existing contestants win consistently, or if you get points in other ways, it’s hard to miss first place.
Proficiency in performances or techniques, such as crowd response or new techniques. Dozens of points are awarded by voting, etc.
However, the gap in scores was so wide that even the overwhelmingly popular Suruta and Prince Kalzabog were evaluated as saying that if they did not win the match, they would never be able to win first place.
And the existing contestant girls boasting popularity equal to those two and earning a lot of points in the crowd vote. Diana Mayal was a strong contender for first place, saying she would win even if she won only half.
… Is common knowledge so far.
In this Battle Royale, the story is different even if the follow-up contestant defeats just two other contestants.
Existing entrants will try to stomp on subsequent entrants in an attempt to close the gap on the score, while subsequent entrants will actively hunt for first place.
… Was the original intention.
“What’s this!!!”
“Call the organizers!!”
Naturally, a backlash ensued.
If the tyranny went too far, the participants tended to collude.
If this was a ploy by Galde to sacrifice her reputation and create harmony among the contestants, she’d get it right…
“Hey. But look at this.”
“What is it? A product…? Uh…”
It was.
In addition to winning the competition, there were other prizes at stake.
Items listed in the rulebook.
The rewards given to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places in the order of scoring the most in Battle Royale were huge.
10000 gold equally and a sword with the heart family pattern engraved on it.
An ID that allows you to receive a 50% discount at companies affiliated with the Heart family.
Also, five magic tools newly developed in the Mage Tower were provided.
A huge reward that leaves you speechless.
Of course, we didn’t only take care of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places.
If even one person was eliminated, 1000 gold was paid, and 15 gold each was paid by default, saying that they felt sorry for the sudden battle royale.
15 gold was about 15 million won in the world of strangers, which was no small amount of money.
Participants’ dissatisfaction subsided.
Instead, they started glaring at each other.
“Haha.”
A woman who had been examining the contestants in the corner, pulling back her robe, snorted at her.
She was the leader of the Dark Elf Eln dispatched from the heterogeneous union.
“They say you’re a descendant of a hero, but you’re used to training dogs and pigs.”
When the whip and the carrot are given out at the same time, the pigs and dogs lose their senses and bite each other.
A ferocious smile formed on her lips at the familiar behavior she had seen for a long time.
This wave doesn’t just end between participants.
There will be a fierce fight under the water.
‘What happened.’
Speaking of Battle Royale, Captain Eln was confident.
Having been called a natural assassin everywhere since her birth, she licked her lips and said that at least three would be eliminated.
As expected by the Ellen crew, the upheaval did not occur only among the participants.
Acquaintances of the participants.
And there was an uproar among the clients who supported them.
Mainly, the princes of Suruta were angry.
They say that Scaldia’s coming to Sers means something special. For example, I thought it might mean selecting a successor to inherit the next throne, and I put in an offer to the participants with a huge amount of money.
The fame of the princes was steadily rising thanks to the already popular contestants saying that they would dedicate their victory to the client, the prince, and that they were able to come this far thanks to him.
But they might drop out?
It was something to turn a blind eye to.
That’s why… The princes had a secret harmony.
The next contestants at risk of being eliminated were asked if they would unite for 5 minutes and 30 seconds.
That’s good enough.
Some… I heard to ruin the condition of the existing contestants, or to reduce the score.
There are four factors in which players score points.
1. Inflict excessively large injuries on the opponent.
2. Use prohibited items.
3. Behavior that may degrade the dignity of the competition.
4. Fold to the organizers.
There is one factor that the two princes will intervene.
Was the organizer.
Originally, it was hosted by a teenage family, but as Suruta’s influence was strong, the Seven Knights of Suruta were also classified as organizers.
The princes openly pecked at them.
They would snort at the words of nobles, but they could not ignore the words of the princes.
No.
Even if it wasn’t, they were bubbling over.
Of course, unlike the previous participants, many of the follow-up participants were from Suruta.
The Knights, who did not know the details of the higher up, were angry, thinking that the teenage family was playing a trick on the Suruta Empire that had suddenly intervened.
They started judging the existing contestants very harshly.
Mostly 3 times. I stumbled upon an act that cut down on dignity.
They roamed around the arena looking for anyone spitting or swearing and penalized them straight away.
Even if their stomachs were boiling, they were right because they were wrong, so the existing participants were patient… But in the end, they had no choice but to explode.
The reason is that.
“No! He didn’t spit either!”
Subsequent contestants were not penalized for openly squeaks, obscenities, and giggles.
And.
“Are you rebelling against the maintenance agent?!”
“…!”
It would have been better if I had stepped back at this time, but of course there are people who are angry.
“Isn’t that friend right!! A fair judgment…”
“I will give you 100 penalty points for violating factor 4!!!!”
“…!!”
“Are you dissatisfied? If you are dissatisfied, you may resign from the competition!!”
At last.
Between the existing participants and the subsequent participants, the cracks were at the level of the liver. A huge and deep gap was formed like a crevasse.
This news, of course, reached Dre’s ears as well.
Scratching his cheeks, he was in trouble, and when Dia and Rius, whom he trained, couldn’t concentrate, he sat them down and said,
“It’s okay. Do what you’ve been taught. In the first place, there is no one who can follow Lee Poong in an all-out fight.”
Dre tells him to remember what he learned from Lee Poong, not himself.
Still, the faces of the two did not open.
“Even if you lose, you won’t be eliminated from the finals, so why are you frowning?”
Reus mumbled his mouth.
“But, if you still fail… Instructor hyung’s reputation…”
“Idiot.”
Dre reached out and grabbed Rius by the back of his neck, squeezing it and laughing.
“Trust in your strength. You are my disciple. Do you think you are weak?”
“…Ah, no…”
Surprised, Rius stuttered his words.
“Even if you guys get a low rank, what do you think I’ll say? I don’t know if you overdo it and almost die like the old gutter.”
“Hey, why are you talking about that!!”
Rius, whose dark history was revealed, screamed and slammed Dre’s hand away.
Then, touching his head, he said.
“…Thank you. I’ll do my best.”
“Just work hard.”
At that moment, Dia, who was staring blankly from the side, said urgently.
“…S, Master…!”
“?”
“Please support me too…!”
“…”
She looked desperate, so Dre held Dia tight on the back of her neck.
Dia loved it with her eyes closed tightly like a cat, so it was a secret that only she kept.
And a serious story was going on in the Love Yarte family as well.
Naturally, this tournament was originally for them.
If you don’t get high grades, you can’t revive your family.
The conversations they have…
“What?! You didn’t attack me?!”
“…”
Macy’s happy, crackling voice.
Mayyal hugged her pillow and buried her mouth.
“My sister wore that revealing tracksuit and even erotic underwear… Even if it wasn’t that, she was holding her tight in a locked room, and she endured that?”
“Oh no…”
“…Dre’s brother, eunuch?”
She asked just in case, but Mayyal was blank, and she answered.
“Dre is a dragon…”
“…”
Dragon…?
Judging by how dazed he was, he must have answered sincerely.
Putting aside the question of how he saw it…
‘So… Big?’
Meira laughed whooping as Macy gulped her saliva.
‘That means she cares for Mei-Chi, doesn’t it?’
Mayra, pleased with Dre’s actions, beckoned her daughter to come closer.
Mei-Chi hid as she leaned over her mother, and Mei-Chi whispered in her ear as she stroked her daughter.
“Mei-Chi. Next time we’re alone…”
Whisper.
At first yes huh. Mayal, who was positive, is getting more and more huh…? Yes?!?! She was startled and jumped up.
“Ah, did your dad seduce you like that too…?”
“…”
Mayra didn’t answer.
In fact, when she was in school, she was similar to Mei Qi, because she had to do it after she got married.
As soon as she smiled, Mei Qi nodded her head in admiration.
“Ah, okay. Next time we’re alone… I’ll try that…!”
Like that, the girl has nothing to do with the contest.
But she was determined to do something far more important than the contest.
