When I went to register, the employee in charge explained to me the details regarding the tournament. The summary is as follows:
1. The tournament will start 10 days later.
2. There are two phases. First, are the qualifiers, and then the main tournament.
3. Each phase will take a day each, but the semifinals and the finals will be held on the third day alogn with the award ceremony, so all-in-all, the tournament will be three days long.
4. The qualifier is a free-for-all battle royal. Each participant can have up to five magical beasts.
5. The main tournament will be held like a standard tournament, and there will not be any set limitation on the number of magical beasts that one can bring. One can also refrain from sending all of his beasts in a certain round if he wishes to save some strength for the next round. Also, a participant can send out another beast once if the beast he has out in the battle is defeated.
6. A Rank and S Rank magical beasts are prohibited so as to ensure the safety of the spectators.
7. The participant must acknowledge that he or she will be responsible if his or her own beast is injured or killed.
8. Participants are forbidden from attacking other participants directly. Only the beasts may attack each other.
9. Participants are also not allowed to attack their opponent’s magic beast directly. Participants are free to protect themselves, however.
10. The first place prize is 50,000 suits. The second place prize is 10,000 suits.
Up to five beasts for the preliminaries… Is a big slime considered “one”? Or is it considered “one-hundred”? It should still be considered as a single magic beast for now, but… I don’t want to be stingy when it comes to the public unveiling regarding the big slime too, so I think I’ll have to come up with something.
In any case, I finished registering already, so I left the arena. When I got out, I noticed that the sun had already set.
I hurriedly went to the Slime Den Restaurant, and delivered the remaining potatoes, onions, and sesame seeds. I was there already, so I had my meal there as well, then I went back home. Along the way, I bought five barrels of wine from a store I frequented. I stored them in my Dimension Home. When I got out of the town, I used my dimension magic, and went home in an instant.
After gave the goblins some wine and some snacks as thanks for their work, I went to read the books my grandmother had left me before going to sleep, and studied medicine. After that, I decided to retire for the day… Ah, I forgot to think about the contents of my lesson with Elia’s group… I guess I still can’t sleep after all.
