To begin with, just what is the 『Galarie Magic Clad Martial Arts Demonstration』.
To those of you that thought that since it was called a Martial Arts Demonstration it would be where displays of sword battles would take place.
Several hundred years ago, that recognition wouldn’t have been wrong.
……That’s right, in those several hundred years, the Magic Clad Martial Arts Demonstration has changed greatly.
The Martial Arts Demonstration that displayed a kind of research society aspect where every magic and martial arts school would display their own techniques and study the techniques of other schools had changed directions from a single sentence of a certain martial arts demonstrator.
「I knew our school was the coolest and the strongest.」
It was a bit changed but it was this kind of way of talking that was light and looked down on the other schools.
And then, the other schools’ martial arts demonstrators weren’t gentle enough to take those words quietly.
「Oh? What, you’re puny group is the strongest? Don’t make me laugh, numbskull.」
「You guys ain’t much different. Besides, our school is the best.」
「Ah? What? Wanna fight about it? We don’t really have a problem with it, you know?」
「Hell yeah we wanna fight!」
Like that, a brawl with every school jumbled in together started, but there was no way that something like the strongest school could be decided with something like a brawl.
It’s because there were also some people that would survive with sly ways of fighting.
Diligently trying to decide the strongest, the top, was something to be admired, but there wasn’t just a few that were dazzled by the title and tended heavily towards evil ways. In fact, a majority of them started using underhanded tactics.
Things like putting drugs that cause stomach aches in food, or covering toilet paper in large amounts of mustard……
The leaders of each nation that greatly saw the situation where such fiendish actions were so readily performed collaborated with each other, and, taking a few decades, they succeeded in making them fight following some rules.
And that is how it became the current Martial Arts Demonstration.
