Adventurers’ High’s Arena contained four rooms. The first room of the Arena prioritized durability and privacy so advanced adventurers could duel in it without issue.

For example, every last inch of the walls, floor, and ceiling was covered with highly pure mithril alloy tiles, enabling them to withstand a direct hit from a weapon skill. The room was completely windowless and protected by several layers of soundproof and shockproof magic to prevent the leakage of any valuable data on skills, combat abilities, or personal information..

The cost of building and maintaining such a facility was nothing to be scoffed at. Since the training of new adventurers was in the interest of national security, a tremendous amount of taxpayers’ money was granted to the project, which was completed relatively quickly. For a student at Adventurers’ High, using the first room of the Arena afforded a certain kind of status.

As we arrived at the building’s entrance, we found a female student dressed in a kendo uniform standing with her arms crossed formidably. This was a gatekeeper in every sense of the word. Her sleeve had the words “First Swordcraft Club” embroidered in golden thread, and I spotted a small yet prominent family crest on her lapel. She gave a slight smile and bowed when she saw us.

“President Sagara and Mistress Kusunoki, it is an honor. I shall serve as umpire for today’s proceedings, but might I ask who your friend in the mask is?” She turned a sharp eye on me after pleasantly greeting the other two. I could tell from her posture and the slight amount of magic emanating from her that she was pretty powerful. With my face guard already on and robe well over my head, my face and presence were barely noticeable. It was no wonder she was wary.

“I invited him, especially as my bodyguard. I can vouch for his credentials.”

“If you say so, President Sagara. Please, go right in,” said the student, smiling at me with a bow as Sagara’s introduction had eased her suspicions. Her letting me right in despite looking like this went to show just how trusted Sagara was. I didn’t need any further encouragement to head into the Arena.

Seriously, though? The umpire is also from the First Swordcraft Club?

The umpire was the person responsible for ensuring that a duel was conducted according to the rules and acting as the sole arbitrator of deciding the winner and loser. Maybe they needed someone of equal or greater ability than Ashikaga if they had to referee him, but finding such a person from within the school would only leave the Eight Dragons or their top members. From their point of view, the main goal of this duel was to punish another student, so there was no need for another powerful member of the Eight Dragons to get so involved.

I could only assume that this was the reason for this girl of similar strength to and the same club as Ashikaga would serve as umpire, but this also came with a danger that her officiating being biased toward the First Swordcraft Club.
