Good thing that our first PVP event is not a guild war. If it were, we had no chance against those top two guilds.

Reply to 121 > Do you mean The Silver Wing Brigade and Ouroboros?

123 : Anonymous Player
Reply to 122 > Yeah. There’s still no other guild that can match those two.

124 : Anonymous Player
The Silver Wing Brigade has many skilled players, so I can understand, but Ouroboros… I honestly don’t like that guild.

Reply to 124 > Me neither. I heard that their members were all NEET and game addicts.

Reply to 125 > Yeah. I even heard a rumor that they’ve never logged out since the first day.

Reply to 126 > Bullshit. They at least log out to eat in the real world, or else they would have died long ago.

By the way, how many people do you guys think will participate?

129 : Anonymous Player
Reply to 128 > I think 30% of the total players at most. Most people are more interested in making money or exploring this world.

Reply to 129 > Make sense. This is originally a PVE game, so there are not many players who like to do PVP.

Sorry for ruining your fun, folks, but none of you will make it to the final since I’ll be the one who’ll kick y’all’s asses.

This guy came out of nowhere and suddenly declared war. This is the type of person who will likely die in the first round.

I don’t know about this idiot, but according to the players’ favorites, there are at least four people who will likely win this tournament.

The first player is Baldr. As you guys know, he is the leader of the well-known guild, The Silver Wing Brigade. He’s known for his impenetrable defense and powerful heavy hits. His character build is simple, but that simplicity makes him difficult to defeat.

The second player is Eclair, the vice-leader of The Silver Wing Brigade and Baldr’s most trusted partner. Her powerful magic spells are a threat to most players. Not only has she mastered high-level magic spells, but she has also mastered close-quarter combat skills with her staff, making her a strong opponent in long-ranged and close-ranged combat.

The third one is the swordsman known as the Swiftblade. As his nickname suggests, he’s known for his fast swordplay. His blade doesn’t hit that hard, but it moves so fast that you won’t be able to follow it with your eyes. He is a close-combat specialist who can easily approach his opponent with his incredible speed, making him a nightmare, especially for ranged fighters.

Lastly, the woman who recently made a name for herself, known as the Tempest Queen. She is a powerful magic user and the first player who managed to reach the most advanced level of magic in this game. I doubt there are players who love magic more than her. People fear her for her destructive AoE attacks.

Reply to 133 > Thank you for the explanation. I put my money on Baldr. I’ve seen him leading raids to fight strong boss monsters several times, so I know how skilled he is.

Baldr is indeed a skilled player, but who cares about a dude? I’m cheering only for beauties like Eclair-sama~

Reply to 135 > Speaking of beauties, the Tempest Queen is also a beautiful woman, right? I’ll be cheering for her.

Reply to 136 > And speaking of the Tempest Queen, I saw her in Group E for the preliminary round.

Reply to 137 > Thank god I’m in Group D. I feel bad for our comrades in Group E…

Reply to 137 > What!? I’m in Group E!

*/TL : back to Alice

After parting with Shougo, Rin and I stepped into the portal and teleported to a large space that seemed to be the waiting room of Group E. There were about two hundred players waiting for the event to start here.

「Whoaa… There are so many people.」(Alice)

「Well, the grand prize is 1,000,000G. Of course, there will be many people participating.」(Rin)

「By the way, are you aiming for the grand prize, Rin?」(Alice)

「That much money will come in handy for sure, and since I’m participating, of course I’m aiming to win~ How about you?」(Rin)

「Umm, honestly, I’m not sure. You know that I’ve never played a competitive game, right?」(Alice)

「Don’t worry, Alice, you’re good at this game. You will do just fine~」(Rin)

「I’ll do my best.」(Alice)

While talking to each other, we looked for empty seats and sat down, waiting with the other players.

I heard people whispering to each other as I looked around.

「O, oi… Look. Isn’t that the Tempest Queen?」
「Geh! It’s the Tempest Queen!」
「We’re in the same group as the Tempest Queen?」
「Are you kidding me!? It’s really her!」
「Nooo! We’re done for!」
「By the way, who’s the kimono girl sitting next to her?」
「I don’t know, but she’s cute!」(players)

I feel like people are looking over here for some reason.

And… What do they mean by Tempest Queen…?

「Say, Rin, is it just me, or everyone is looking at us?」(Alice)

「Haha, so you notice it. Well, you’re not imagining it.」(Rin)

「Eh? Then, do you know what they mean by Tempest Queen?」(Alice)

「Umm, yeah… That’s… My nickname…」(Rin)

「What…?」(Alice)
