Chapter Three: The Thousand Tricks’s Artifice

Despite the fact that it was like this every year as the Supreme Warrior Festival approached, Gark was still taken aback by the festive mood in Kreat. Streets large and small were absolutely mobbed. The town gates were jammed with late arrivals. The influx of hunters, merchants, and tourists from all over made this the busiest time of year for the town. It was also the town’s most unstable period, causing some locals to head elsewhere for its duration.

“Busy as ever,” the old Magus in the carriage snorted. “When I see crowds of trash like this, I get the urge to incinerate them all.”

Sitting across from Gark was the woman fearfully known as the Abyssal Inferno. She had gaunt cheeks and bony fingers, but her crimson irises flickered like the flames of hell. As far as simple wide-range extermination went, nobody in Zebrudia could hold a candle to this witch. She was also banned from participating in the Supreme Warrior Festival, as she once destroyed the barrier meant to protect the audience.

“You’ve got a harsh sense of humor, Rosemary,” Gark said to her.

“I’ll admit,” she said with a chuckle, “this pre-battle atmosphere isn’t bad. All warriors are compelled by instinct to strive to be the strongest. Don’t you think the participants have only gotten better? I hear the amount of mana material in circulation has been going up.”

“But aren’t most Magi researchers?”

“That’s a common misconception, Mr. Branch Manager. Stepping out into the battlefield is a very good way to progress your research. If I hadn’t been banned, I’d be going out there. Perhaps the Explorers’ Association should protest that ban just a bit more?”

Think of your age, you old hag, Gark thought as he let out a sigh. Of course, he didn’t actually say it out loud.

The greatest prize offered by the Supreme Warrior was glory. Someone who had reached Level 8 shouldn’t have any further need for that. Gark might’ve empathized with her if she had never given the tournament a try, but not only had she participated before, she had made herself something of a legend.

Gark was beyond exasperated. The modern Magi were rather mellow compared to those of the past. But it was only by comparison that the current generation could be considered calm to any degree.

“You don’t have to worry, Rosemary. Whether you like it or not, there will most likely come a time when we need your power.”

“Hehehe. And here we are at the Supreme Warrior Festival. Those kits must’ve gotten serious if they’re aiming for such a large prize. They’ll make worthwhile kindling. It’s just a shame Telm won’t be among them.”

Only a few days prior, the careful investigations of the Explorers’ Association had given them a grasp on one of Fox’s tails. After searching Telm’s and Kechachakka’s living quarters, they had determined which Association employee had put Kechachakka on that list. By employing a priceless Relic, they had decoded an encrypted document.

This current operation appeared to be of an unprecedented scope for Fox, which was also what allowed the Association to catch wind of it.
