I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Tester took full responsibility for the actions of the eldest prince Simmons and the aristocratic faction.

In the subsequent matches, all the referees were fully focused, watching every single person on the field.

If any abnormal behavior is detected among the participants, they should be immediately intervened and stopped.

Anno and Sassi continued to participate in the second round of preliminary rounds.

After the morning's selection process, more than 1,000 of the 4,300 fourth-tier adventurers remained.

If we win three more games, we can secure a spot in the top 50.

As with the first battle, Anno's tactics were primarily defensive, with Sasser launching the attacks.

Anno was lucky in the second match, as all his opponents were level 23, and he won easily.

After two rounds, only 269 contestants remained.

In the third match, Anno's three opponents were all level 25.

At the start of the match, the three decided to eliminate Anno, who was only level 22.

Then the three of them will decide the winner.

Sassi and Anno fought back with difficulty against the attacks of two warriors and a thief.

Without using [Transformation] to increase her size, Sassiel used [Blood Explosion] in conjunction with Anno's [Berserk] to block the two level 25 warriors in front of her.

Anno then confronts the stealthy thief.

Ultimately, Anno used the fourth-tier sword skill [Gale Blade] he learned from Asa to severely injure the thief—some melee skills are applicable to both warriors and knights.

Sasser, with her double-enhanced state, forcefully knocked the two warriors out of the arena.

"Victory in Ring 2, congratulations!"

As the referee announced the winner, the priest who had been waiting nearby immediately rushed to heal the thief who had been severely injured by Anno.

Anno didn't aim for the other person's vital points, so the treatment was relatively simple.

However, with a level 22 strength, he was fighting against three level 25 professionals.

Anno's victory was a major upset.

During the betting game, Anno instantly became a hot topic.

Based on his current performance, it's a certainty that he'll enter the top 50 and compete against the top 50 from other regions.

After all, after the third match, there were only 68 players left.

The fourth match was a 1v1 battle.

They won even when they were fighting three opponents.

There's nothing to worry about in the fourth match unless we encounter other seeded players.

Whoosh!

On competition stage number 11.

The level 25 warrior's body traced an arc through the air before landing outside the arena.

"hateful!"

The level 25 warrior who landed immediately got up and looked at Sassi, with her blood-red hair, on the stage with annoyance.

He was not seriously injured.

It was entirely through Sasser's brute force, combined with Anno's help, that he was forced out of the ring.

"Victorious, An! Congratulations to An for entering the top fifty of the fourth tier in the Royal City. From now on, he will compete with fourth-tier adventurers from the Glai City region and the Valkam region for the title of the best fourth-tier adventurer!"

"Blood Wolf Knight!" "Blood Wolf Knight!" "Blood Wolf Knight!"

After the referee announced Anno's victory, the crowd surrounding him chanted Anno's nickname in unison.

Anno's original nickname was "Silver Wolf Knight".

However, in the third battle, Sassiel was in [Blood Explosion] state, her fur turned from silver to blood red, and her combat power increased dramatically. She defeated two level 25 warriors with one wolf.

Therefore, Anno's nickname became Blood Wolf Knight.

It's not just Anno.

Each professional who made it into the top fifty was given a nickname by the public that perfectly matched their fighting style.

For example, Sun, who also made it into the top fifty.

Because he can learn the melee abilities his opponents have used, his nickname is "Copycat Monkey"!

According to some observant people, Sun learned at least ten melee skills during the four battles he fought.

However, Sun has not yet copied any of the magic skills of mages and priests.

Even so, Sun's abilities alarmed many people.

Theoretically speaking, Sun's potential for growth is extremely high.

The embassy of the Orc Kingdom of Tanlivi stationed in Sodar City sent people to look for Sun after the competition ended.

Tester, also with a try-it-out mentality, privately approached Sun, hoping to win him over.

Of course, anyone who makes it into the top fifty will be courted by others.

In the past, a few of these people were not well-known.

But in this competition, they made a name for themselves through real battles.

In an instant, he became famous throughout the entire royal city.

In the days following the end of the fourth-tier competition, these individuals were recognized wherever they went in the royal city, basking in the respectful gazes of those around them.

This has made many people start paying more attention to their image.

Especially the hot-tempered orcish lion Fernal and the fire rhinoceros Layton.

Although they lived in the royal city, they used to cause trouble at the drop of a hat, attracting the attention of the guards.

Now that they have these titles, the two even take the initiative to help elderly women cross the street.

After the fourth-level competition, the fifth-level competition followed immediately.

Because there weren't many participants, the competition was completed in one day.

Anno recognized some of the people in the top fifty.

For example, Sylvia, Ocasio, and Salom.

There were also some previously unknown adventurers.

The rest were mostly mercenary group leaders—people who wanted to win the championship and get the prizes.

The highest rank in this competition—rank six—was not held in the arena during the preliminary rounds.

Even a friendly spar between experts of this caliber can cause a huge commotion.

Ordinary people watching the fight around the ring are easily affected.

Moreover, the arena had been completely destroyed during the several rounds of battles at the fifth rank.

The sixth-tier battles will be moved directly to the arena built for the finals.

In other words, what will happen in the next match?

It's a paid service!

The battles at the fourth and fifth tiers were already extremely exciting.

The constant emergence of powerful figures and unheard-of skills have made the audience extremely eager for even stronger sixth-tier battles.

As for the entry ticket of 10 copper coins per person per day.

Compared to matches between sixth-tier powerhouses.

What are 10 copper coins worth?

The day before the preliminary rounds for the sixth-level contestants, all 50,000 seats were snapped up.

Many people who failed to secure tickets are buying them at high prices or waiting at ticket booths for tickets to be released for tomorrow's matches.

Upon learning this, Tester slapped his thigh in frustration, lamenting, "The tickets were sold too cheaply! Too cheaply!"

But this price had already been leaked.

If it were modified, it would damage the dignity of the royal family.

......

On the day of the sixth-level competition.

The open-air martial arts arena was packed with people.

"Wow, this is the martial arts arena? It's huge!"

"It's open-air; I thought it was covered."

"Nonsense, with such a large venue, how could we possibly finish the roof in time?"

Where is seat number 34 in row 5 of section D? Can anyone kindly point me in the right direction?

"Fruit, pastries, and beer are available in the front row... Excuse me, could you please move your feet a bit? Oh, is anyone here who hasn't had breakfast yet? Just let me know if you'd like, and fresh fruit and delicious snacks will be delivered to your seat."

The noisy martial arts arena gradually quieted down twenty minutes after all the spectators were seated.

Then the sixth-tier contestants took the stage.

It is usually difficult to gather nearly two hundred sixth-tier professionals.

If a seventh-tier individual doesn't leave their home, then a sixth-tier individual is considered the strongest professional that people can come into contact with.

But at this moment, these sixth-tier players lined up obediently, standing beside the huge arena.

Because their referee was a seventh-class referee hired by Tester!

......

The northern border fortress of Volengol.

Lord Alec Seven was listening to the report from his scouts.

"The Demon King's army has already amassed 50,000 troops, and the number continues to increase. Ten thousand of them are already approaching Worengel, and it is estimated that this army of ten thousand will arrive at a point twenty kilometers outside Worengel in three days."

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, a glint flashed in Alec's eyes as he stood clad in heavy armor. He said in a deep voice, "Ten years have passed. The chance for revenge has finally arrived!"
