I gave instructions to Ms. Keely and left the room quickly.

She has work to do and I have things to do, too.

"Service announcement, service announcement. In a few moments, the general will conduct a mock battle. The general will soon be conducting a mock battle. Repeat.

"Quickly?

There is a reason why we chose to watch a mock battle in front of the audience, which should have been visualized.

This is because we want you to experience the battle to the pole, not the visual images.

There is a difference in motivation between seeing the goal and not seeing it, in maintaining motivation at work.

A job with no end in sight is a real drain on the mind.

It is even more so when it is a job that requires an answer without an answer, such as improving a dungeon.

Then I want to at least give them the hurdle of strength.

I want to show them the minimum standard by which they can become this strong and prevent that strength.

Then we can at least show them that fighting among ourselves is useless.

That's why I've included this mock battle in this event.

But if some of you will still think that futile thing.

No, there's no need to think about it now.

I shake my head to banish the thoughts from my mind as they come out of my head, and follow the broadcast from overhead as I move to my seat.

The arena is quite large considering the scale of the battle that takes place based on the size and abilities of the opposing monsters.

You'll miss the battle if you stop to think about anything else.

To make up for the delay, you'll have to walk a little faster than ten minutes to make up for the delay and enter the entrance of the bleachers at the end of the long corridor that surrounds the arena.

The size of the arena is the same as or even larger than the Tokyo Dome.

It was trampled all over with earth, creating a vast land without any obstacles.

Unlike the images, the atmosphere of a place just for fighting clings to your skin.

Looking to your left and right, you can see testers sitting in groups here and there in the vast spectator area.

There are no other spectators.

So the vast bleachers are more than 90% empty and it's a lonely scene.

When there are four of you standing in such a place, two of the four generals seen from the bleachers look small even though they are huge.

But even so, you can't say you're lonely.

"...... Hey, Instructor Kio, you're really enjoying yourself. The arena is not broken, right?

You can't help but chuckle.

You can feel this oppressive familiarity as you speak of your worries.

If you follow the source of the pressure, you will hesitate to step into the bleachers if you find a demon that is exuberant and energetic without regard to distance, leaving you with a bitter smile.

It's just a moment's hesitation.

I'll take my seat at the head of the bleachers, not caring about the atmosphere you're used to.

The other testers are a little more subdued and keep a little distance from the front.

And the closer I get, the more I understand.

I can see that they are looking forward to this event so much.

It's a good thing that I planned this event, but considering the shockwave that will follow, I'm half happy and half worried that I'd like to see it reduced, if possible.

I shifted my gaze to the others.

Instructor Fusio still exudes an aura that seems to come out of the depths of darkness, creating an atmosphere as if a dangerous thing is walking around.

But this one does not intend to fight with all its might.

Contrary to Instructor Kio, I don't see much fighting spirit.

There are too many undead magic that are not suitable for mock battles.

I'm relieved to hear that, but I'm still worried that I might use it with all my might.

And speaking of the two people we see fighting for the first time, the Tree King and the Giant King: ......

It's no use worrying about the ...... arena or doing it in a dungeon so that it doesn't matter if it's broken. The instructors in question are still the same, but the other one is not worried, and it's hard to say that they're quiet as well.

I can't help but get goosebumps just by looking at him.

If you compare Instructor Kio to a raging fire and Instructor Fusio to a black fog that cannot be seen from the bottom.

The two of them are just waiting for the time to come, a huge tree with its roots stretched across the ground and a rocky mountain that is immovable.

The Tree King Lunamaria stands quietly with her hands folded in front of her, while the Giant King Warlock simply closes his eyes and crosses his arms, but you can feel his spirit.

Despite his passive posture, he is as strong as his opponent. To me, Instructor Kio's energy is a muddy stream.

He stands there as if catching the breeze.

It's a sight worth seeing.

I can't even imagine what a mock battle with such four people working together would look like.

Just in case we don't get blown up...

If you can't imagine it, that means you don't know what's coming.

But you can be sure that at least some damage will be done to us.

The other testers may have come here just for the festivities.

I hope you won't regret it and turn your magic power around.

The time is now up and the general will now begin a mock battle. We will set up wards.

A broadcast by the management is broadcasted, and for a moment the front of the bleachers are covered with light.

Then the same scene spreads out again as if nothing had happened, but you can feel that there is a definite magic wall in front of you.

''It's counting. All members please take a shock stance.

Aside from a few testers who questioned what Kaylee's advice about what to expect, I followed her advice and lowered my posture slightly to avoid being blown off and prepared for impact.

And then

"Three, two, one

The count proceeds.

"Zero

And the moment you hear a voice saying

Don!

"Huh!"?

"Huh!"?

Warding and testers screamed.

A bang hit the warding, and a crunching and distorting sound could be heard from the warding.

Then a scream could be heard from behind.

There have been scenes in cartoons where you can see an explosion and then hear a delayed explosion, but I've never experienced that before.

As soon as the count was over, I knew that Instructor Kio had struck the giant king.

And I knew he blocked it with his suddenly drawn shield.

But from there it was beyond comprehension.

This is the pinnacle, and some of our testers won't understand what's going on.

I'm just vaguely aware of it because I'm looking at the big picture, too.

But still.

"Ha ha, awesome.

This power struck me above all else.

The admiration that overflows from my heart expresses my honest feelings.

Instructor Kio and Fusio's team attacked and the giant king and the tree king prevented them.

But it's not one-sided either.

As proof of his full strength, Instructor Kio's bare-handed rush is blocked by the king, and Fusio tries to take advantage of it by unleashing his magic, but all of his attempts are countered by the Joo King's spirits.

It's a showdown between the short- and long-term battle.

Their personalities and fighting styles are on full display.

This is the combination of a proactive group that conserves their strength and a group that does their best to defeat the enemy in front of them.

I was fascinated by the way they fought in their respective strengths.

The demon's fist cracks the air and shakes the giant's shield.

The demon king's fist dug into the belly of the giant king, but he didn't change his face as he took it, and he swung his big axe down, which I would have held up with both hands.

The demon ducked with a paper-thin line, but the shock wave assaulted its body.

At the center of the storm, a storm surrounds it.

Kuroened fire, water, wind and earth cover the place with blackened fire, water, wind and earth, but red flames, blue water, green wind and rich soil block it.

Each one of them is basic, but each one is refined to a higher dimension.

With their bodies suspended in the air, they steadfastly prepare and launch their magic, one after the other, as if they were playing chess.

You can't take your eyes off them.

Even if you can't see it, you want to see it work.

The wards creak with each passing shock.

The power of the battle's aftermath physically rings the wards without intent, telling me it's time to stop, but that doesn't stop them.

Then the sound enters my ears, and even though I know it's dangerous, I can't stop watching.

They just bump into each other.

I just watch.

And finally

The wards shatter with a snap.

"Oops!

And then I'm hit by the shock wave.

Quickly lowering my posture, I manage to hold out by thrusting the mineral tree.

The last thing I see is Instructor Kio slamming the giant king's shield down.

''That's it! That's enough! Both sides stop! Warding already! Ah! Already! Master Evvia!

Kaley's voice, which had been screaming since the wards shattered, finally came into my ears.

She must have been watching that intently.

I look up to see a sight that doesn't stop.

The other testers have lowered their posture and are waiting for the storm to pass.

I thought it was a waste.

I thought it would be a shame to miss a sight like this.

But the battle would be over, regardless of my intentions.

"This is enough.

Suddenly, a supervisor appeared in the center, and in an instant, he set up a warding that divided the generals into four parts and stopped the fight.

The scene was terribly lonely.

The battle's ki has caught me.

I'm high enough now to know that.

"Phew.

I let out a deep breath to calm it down and let all the stuff in my stomach come out once.

In the corner of my mind, I wish they would set up another boundary and show me the rest of the story anyway, but I knew that if I did that again, we'd both get more serious.

Well, now it's time.

And if you've calmed down, you're thinking about what's next.

As the testers look up to see if the storm has passed, you think about what's to come.

"Testers, what you have seen is a sliver of the best. Are you satisfied?

After observing that the generals had stopped completely, the supervisor quickly erased the wards and let his voice echo over the bleachers.

As soon as you have a taste of it, we'll move on to the next program.

The testers are buzzing about the schedule, because they don't know what's coming up next.

The testers are buzzing around, because they haven't been informed of the next schedule.

You check with the testers next to you to see what's available, but everyone says they don't know.

The moment you snap your fingers, without regard to the scene, the scene changes with a snap of your fingers.

How many people have realized that it was transference magic?

I'm left standing alone in a cave, with no one around me.

That's probably true.

After all, this is a place.

"Well, do you know where you guys are? You've probably noticed that many of them are familiar to you on a daily basis. Yes, you're in a dungeon. It's also the deepest part.

I wonder what happened to the others who were transported to the deepest part of the dungeon.

Some will be in a panic, while others will be calm and collected.

Don't worry, the monster we originally placed there is gone. Only you testers are there. Let's answer your questions. Why are we doing this? What? This is just a game.

The voice of the supervisor reverberates through the dungeon as he answers each tester's questions, and happily, the voice of the supervisor echoes through the dungeon.

From now on, it's an all-or-nothing race to escape the dungeon. The first one to escape the dungeon will also receive a prize from the demon king.

And that's the devil.

So temptation is at hand.

When one learns there is no danger and, moreover, a prize, few are conscious of the suddenness of the event.

"There is only one rule. Escape as fast as you can. It doesn't matter what you do. You can do what you want, whether you want to use magic or items. Yes, of course you can sabotage others. Rest assured, the safeguard is working. Whatever happens, the only thing that's going to happen is that the next thing you wake up in is the infirmary. But, of course, if that feature is activated, you're disqualified.

And when it comes to safety, this is a total dungeon plaything.

Well, the supervisor doesn't stop there.

Now that we've given you the benefits, let's talk about the risks.

In a tone of voice that you can understand that you absolutely enjoy this explanation, the director does not tell you that the explanation is over, but adds: "Every time a certain amount of time passes, there is a penalty.

Every time a certain amount of time elapses, there is a penalty. Yes, the monster that hunts you down will be unleashed. But this is not only a disadvantage. This is a special monster we have prepared for you only this time. Its body is rich in magic that will greatly assist in the growth of your magical crests. In addition, by defeating this monster, you'll be able to move up five levels.

You now have two choices: run as fast as you can or take a shortcut by killing the enemy.

What you do with it will change the course of the race.

That's it. Kaley, give the signal.

'Yes, sir! Let's go for the goal, everyone! Master!

I don't have to figure out what to do.

"Go!

After all, I'm me and I have things to do during this race.
