Chapter 307 – 72. Lecture 10. (3)
In the hall of fame prepared in the inner city of the capital, top 10 sophomores began to gather one after another.
Next to Arlen, the money ghost, the hottest person on the continent, was Sword Emperor Natasha, who inherited the name of former Sword Emperor Magnus. For Danju’s secretary and escort role.
However, even Sword Emperor Natasha was not allowed to enter the conference room except for emergencies. It was an inviolable territory, allowed only to top 10 singles and candidates with voting rights.
In addition to Allen, several top 10 singles had already arrived in the conference hall.
The blood clot is coming.
Grumpy Patty.
An agent of the cold-blooded Asmos, Duke of Belver.
Elementalist Pesiyal.
Iron cane Tifan.
Allen, the money demon, arrived sixth and took his seat where his nameplate had been placed.
Soon, when the iron mask arrived, the viola arrived seventh, followed by the fire ghost Granzo, who took the last order.
Regardless of age, skill, or performance, the position of general manager and moderator of this decision meeting was the most suitable for the non-ghost Grenzo. That is a fact no one can deny.
He sat down in the moderator’s seat and gave the attendees a quick look. … There was a sense of tension in the dimly lit meeting room.
“It’s been a while, everyone.”
A brief greeting from the evil spirits. There was no great man here who did not know that he was a formal greeting.
“Then let’s begin right away.”
The reason we gathered here is only to decide the top 10. There was nothing more inefficient than the act of asking each other how they were doing. After all, the placenta is a competitor position.
Most of the top 10 runners often glanced at the money ghost, who smiled faintly and rested his chin on his chin. Now that he has grown to be as big as a fire ghost, he is especially a person of interest… Everyone knew that his recommender was a strong candidate.
Granzo Danju pressed the bell with the palm of his hand, and soon the first candidate came inside.
A muscular giant with copper-colored skin with considerable scars here and there gave off a bubbly first impression.
Twin Ax Alex from the North.
“I am Alex Korn, Warrior of the North! Raiga Danju is my spiritual support. If I become the top 10, I am determined to burn my body intensely! Elect me!”
He thumped my chest with his fist and shouted so eagerly. Anyway, the candidates had enough time to promote themselves by meeting top 10 runners, so there was no need to introduce themselves for a long time.
The appearance of the second candidate after the twin axes.
Earth Mage Mandra, from the East.
The ocher-colored old man is a mage who can handle dirt, which is rare even among mages. And he is the second most likely candidate after Rick, who came up on the recommendation of the Duke of Belver, the cold-blooded Asmos.
And the third candidate.
Rick, a lucky man already famous for the Allen Union, entered the meeting room.
He is currently the most likely candidate, but it was obvious that the eastern line would be severely checked.
Following Rick’s introduction, a fourth candidate emerged.
The square-faced woman is Pixie, a flying squirrel.
Born in the West, she was a swordsman who was good at handling the soft curves of Shamshir. And she is the sophomore of the mercenary troupe that is the most famous in the west these days.
Then the fifth candidate.
He is an old prince, Juranza. A person who was once a candidate when selecting the best 10 bloodthirsty Arpen Danju, who died at the hands of Danju Allen.
It’s quite rare for someone who was originally nominated to be nominated again. The prevailing opinion is to give new people a chance… However, this time, as the situation was different, it seems that he was finally selected as a candidate again.
And finally, the sixth candidate.
The handsome man with a soft smile is the tidy Nikolai.
Contrary to his good-natured smile, he is notorious for being cruel and cunning. Of course, since the average mercenaries are generally like that, it was a bit vague to say that was a particular disadvantage. However, this side is very strong with ambition.
Even the neat guy rides the eastern line a little out of necessity, but he was like a migratory bird that moved here and there according to his taste.
That brief introduction is over.
The six went out of the meeting room again and waited for their fateful time in the waiting room.
Two votes were given to the eight top 10 singles here. You could vote for up to two of the six, or vote against all if you didn’t want to. In other words, whether to vote in favor or not, it means that it is the personal authority of sophomores.
Up to eight votes for one person can be received, and the top two will advance to the round of 10.
If there is a tie in the number of votes, a re-vote between the persons with the same number of votes. If a decision is not reached there, it will be re-determined after sharing opinions again.
After such a brief preliminary explanation, the voting began in earnest.
“First, Candidate Alex. Please vote yes.”
There were no affirmative votes. Twin Ax Alex is almost confirmed to be eliminated.
“Second, candidate Mandra. Please vote yes.”
Then, the votes in favor of the eastern line rushed up.
… Also.
A whopping half of the votes in favor. The will of the eastern sober owners to push their own line was clearly visible.
“Third, Candidate Rick. Please vote yes.”
This time, four people who had not previously voted in favor voted in favor.
In fact, Allen couldn’t be sure whether the other three would vote for Rick or not, but it seems that they were a little alarmed when Dongbu threw their vote in front of them.
“Fourth, Pixie Candidate. Please vote yes.”
There were no affirmative votes.
“Fifth, candidates for Juranza. Please vote yes.”
2 votes in favor of single viola and single zione.
“Sixth, Candidate Nikolai. Please vote yes.”
Again, four members of the Eastern Line voted in favor.
… These bastards really made up their mind…
Mandra the Dirt Wizard, Rick the Lucky, and Nikolai the Neat.
The top three, of course, tied with four votes in favor.
If they made a mistake, Dongbu almost lost both places in the top 10. … It wasn’t that I didn’t have the idea, but I didn’t know that they would be so greedy.
“Then we will vote again with two yes votes each.”
No one expected that there would be a tie for all three, but the re-voting started again according to the rules.
But this time, as before, all three were again tied with four votes.
At the same time, the conference hall hardens like a confrontation between the Eastern Line and Vermandois.
In fact, two of the top 10 were selected at the same time, and this unfortunate incident occurred. In the first place, if only one person had been selected as usual, such an unsavory thing would not have happened.
“I think the results will continue to be the same… , What should I do, everyone?”
When the deputy of the Duke of Belver asked with a smirk, Allen Dange raised his hand and took the right to speak.
No matter what, I can’t give both seats to Dongbu.
“Doesn’t that mean you have to drop one of the three after all? But since we can’t decide between us, wouldn’t it be right to leave the decision to your wise majesty? After all, it’s a 10-thief position given by His Majesty the Emperor.”
Certainly, if a decision continued in this way, it was only natural that the right to decide would eventually pass to the emperor.
… And Allen, the money ghost, is a very favorite aide of His Majesty the Emperor. If so, it’s pretty obvious that lucky guy Rick will survive. That is, one of the other two is unconditionally dropped.
On the east side, we noticed each other. In the end, it seems that both of them should give up eating themselves. … Then one of the two would have to be saved, but we whispered to each other about who should be chosen. In fact, there is nothing to think about for too long.
After a quick agreement between the eastern states, the duke’s deputy proposed one last vote.
“Good.”
So, 4 votes for the Soil Mage, 4 votes for the lucky guy, and 0 votes for the neat guy came out, and the top two who would make the top 10 were decided.
It seems that the eastern side also judged that a duke’s recommendation was better than a person who was worried about Gingamin.
“Then, the decision was made between Mandra Danju and Rick Danju.”
The two of them, who had been waiting in the waiting room, returned to the conference hall and thanked the sophomores who had become new friends.
They may not know that there was a considerable fight in the voting process.
Rick, a lucky man who finally made it to the top 10 of his dreams, was truly thrilled.
He has been working as a mercenary since his late teens until now. He had been dreaming of becoming the top 10, but when he actually reached the top 10, he couldn’t believe whether it was a dream or real life.
“Congratulations. Rick Danzou.”
Allen, the money ogre, held out her hand to Rick the Lucky One.
Of course, Rick worked hard, but he didn’t know how great Allen’s help and influence was until he came to this position.
“Thank you… !”
“Actually, there was a bit of a nervous breakdown in the middle. I didn’t know that the Easterners would be greedy for both positions. I almost lost this seat.”
“Ah, is that so?”
Still, the results came out roughly as expected.
The Duke of Belver’s recommendation, Eastern Rhine, Earth Mage Mandra.
Allen Danju’s recommendation and the most influential candidate, lucky Rick.
That’s how the Vermandois gang spent the night celebrating Lucky Guy Rick’s 10th round, and had a good night.
… And the next day, an urgent report waking Allen up early in the morning.
– In the 10th round, Danju and Earth Mage Mandra died.
It was the shortest top 10 retirement in history.
