Chapter 2: Exhibition Match

It was the day of the exhibition match with Lumiest. The event would be held in a special venue built in the Academic City, and even more spectators were expected than at the busy entrance ceremony several months earlier. The caravan of stalls outside the city were clearly more numerous than before as well. That was no surprise, since this festival was essentially a meeting between the relatives of the students: royalty and influential people from all the surrounding areas.

An apt comparison would be to a normal school’s parent’s day or a get-together between students’ parents, but on the scale of a world summit. Since this event tended to have leaders and powerful people from many countries in attendance, it was relatively easy for a person to get in if they were close enough to someone involved, even if their own child wasn’t participating. There would be important people from the Adventurer’s Guild there as well.

This all came together to make the event nothing but positives in terms of community-building and forging diplomatic ties. Of course, for an event that surpassed the scale of a Rank S promotion ceremony or the Beast King Festival, security had to be similarly tight; that was how much the population would spike. So today, there were crowds everywhere, both inside and outside the city.

“Leigant’s side is ready!” the manager of the teleportation gate announced.

“Okay, I’m opening it,” came the reply.

Given the expected number of visitors, this was also the only day the city opened up its only teleportation gate. Since using a teleportation gate was so difficult, only the large or powerful countries had them, so arriving that way was a sign of status on the Western Continent.

“There, done. How many more places are using the teleportation gate again?”

“Uh...the Kingdom of Vaccania, the Tri Federation, the Divine State of Plutorlua, and the Holy Empire of Kagancala. Those four. I’m sure you’ve spent a lot of MP on the teleportation gate by now, Director Shin; should we switch?”

“Ah, I’m fine. No problems in that regard,” Surprisingly, it was Shin, the director of the Adventurer’s Guild, who replied in a light tone of voice. Teleportation gates couldn’t activate without permission from both sides, but Shin was there providing MP for the gates just in case.

“I... I see. I suppose I should say that’s to be expected for a Rank S adventurer. You’ve got an unbelievable amount of MP. Normally, we would need scores of mages rotating through to provide the fuel needed.”

“Well, Rank S adventurers have got to be able to handle at least this much in their spare time. I’m participating in the match after this too,” Shin stated.

“R-Right... Ha...ha ha...” The manager’s smile twitched.

Shin claiming that such a thing was perfectly natural sounded like a joke, but she was actually doing exactly that with a book in one hand. All the guards, technicians, and mages present, other than Shin, felt the same as the manager. But although they were free to retort as they wished in their hearts, they had no choice but to maintain outward smiles.
