Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 705

“Here is your number plate.”

I accepted the wooden plaque handed to me by Maeng’s warrior.
When I handed over what I originally had, they put a seal on the plaque.
The number seventeen was written in clear letters on the wooden tablet.

‘hmm.’

It looks like they are trying to give each participant a number.

How many people in total?

‘A little over two hundred people, I guess.’

It was a three-day preliminary round, so I think it would be about that much.

‘That means I’ve collected over two hundred peak-level items…’

It was truly an absurd number.
He’s a character that can’t be found anywhere even at the peak, but he’s collected hundreds of them.

‘I think I’ve only seen numbers like this when I occupied Sacheon in my past life.’

If not, it was probably around the time when they first gathered together to capture the Heavenly Demon.
I think it will be right by then.

It was a time when warriors from all political factions gathered together.

‘I was completely swept away by the Heavenly Demon’s hand.’

That’s the impression that comes to mind in a place where warriors gather.
I also thought it was really weird.

“What number is Confucius?”

“Seventeen, and you?”

“My number is sixty-eight.”

“I’m number ninety-one!”

They were different numbers.

Is there a separate rule for payment rather than just an order?
Or is it purely random?

If there is a rule, what was the intention behind it?
All kinds of thoughts come to mind.

‘Tsk.’

While I was thinking about this, I clicked my tongue.
Now I was looking at the number again and again, wondering if there was something there.

It’s absurd. If this is the case, wouldn’t the suspicion be too high?
I felt like I had to be careful.

I look around for a moment to clear my thoughts.

The surroundings were already noisy.

“Well, we have to find some way.”

“Shit. “I can’t go back to my hometown after falling like this…”

As numbers were assigned to the bracket, the noise around them also increased.
Most of them are anxious people.

On the other hand, people who have met their partner well are not very nervous or show it.
Those who opposed it all tended to have their own reactions.

“Damn it! Speaking of Six Cuts Fist… he’s a person who is said to be on the verge of extinction. How on earth can you win!”

“…I’m not compatible with Changsoo. “Is there no way…?”

“If you leave like this and go back… Sega will take me away…”

They were speechless.

‘They’re all going to fall.’

He has already recognized defeat and can only see the thought of losing.
It’s not even half, it’s seven percent like that.

‘Anyway, these are things these days.’

Are you thinking about losing right away without even trying anything?
It was a behavior that I couldn’t understand.

If that’s the case, don’t participate. Why am I doing this at the peak of my climax?

I sighed as I looked at the people who were getting more and more depressed.

‘…It’s not like I just don’t understand.’

After the preliminaries, it’s time for the finals.
There are too many people to call it the finals, but from now on, it means the finals.

‘People watch the off-stage.’

Unlike the preliminaries, which were held behind closed doors, spectators are allowed from the finals onwards.
For this purpose, the inside of the Murimmaeng was constructed and a huge rain stage was prepared.

Sponsored by over ten tops.

The representative sword belt of Meng, which disappeared into history with a huge prize at stake. He even revived Shinryongdae and invested efforts to consolidate his shaky position.

This meant that the value of the current Bimuje was the highest in history.

In such a competition, they are eliminated from the start of the finals.

Moreover, the elimination is watched by countless onlookers, the largest merchants in the central region, and executives of the alliance.

That alone must be a huge burden.

‘hmm.’

Honestly, the reason is predictable.
As someone who doesn’t care much about other people’s opinions or defeat, I didn’t know much about it.

‘I have no intention of losing.’

Turn your gaze around.
I left behind those who were depressed and focused on those who had composed themselves.

‘Hmm….’

There are several unmanned people who are close to the flower scene in several fully-ripened peaks.
There were people who crossed it in the first place.

The surprising thing is.

‘You’re hiding your momentum.’

There are some people who are hiding their true status.

‘He looks like he’s at the level of an elder?’

An elder from a prestigious or renowned family.
There are also people who seem to be in that level.

The world is so big, but are there so many hidden strong people?

I’m looking around curiously.

Ugh.

‘hmm?’

I felt eyes on me from somewhere.
Not just one person.

I felt several people passing by, looking my way.

‘What is it?’

Why are there so many eyes on me?
I pretended not to care and broadened my mood a bit.

Then the gaze disappears in an instant.

‘Look at this?’

He noticed that I was trying to expand his mood and withdrew his gaze.
You probably didn’t feel it and took it instinctively.

‘Hmm.’

It’s not strange to check on someone else. It was strange to see them looking at me like this at the same time.

What happened suddenly? After thinking for a moment, I remembered the reason.

‘Is it because of the preliminaries?’

He showed a bit too much in the preliminaries. I think that’s why it attracts a bit of attention.

the problem is.

‘Didn’t they say they didn’t know about the other side because of the ban?’

What I did is known only to those who were in the same group as me.

‘Hmm.’

Who was it?
Even if you tried to look for it, it was difficult to find out about this number of people.

For now, all I had to do was recognize that someone was watching me.

‘How long will the finals take?’

Because there are so many people, it is held over two days, if not longer than the preliminaries.

I’m not sure exactly how much I’ll do with the non-moving title. Considering the condition of the warriors, I will not order bimu twice a day.

‘Then it will be over in ten days at the latest.’

It may seem long, but it was just the right amount of time for me.

It was said that Daeju Cheonra’s side is also slowly completing preparations.

‘I’ll have to find the right situation.’

It was a complex plan, so it was time to find just the right time.
Around the time I was sorting out my mind.

“For those who have received numbers 1 through 50, please prepare!”

A sound came from the exit.
Are you ready already?

I stood up after hearing that.

“I will be back.”

“yes! be careful.”

“Come back!”

Two people waved and saw me off.
Looking at that, I smiled and walked away.

Fifty people, including me, moved together.

Most of them only have expressions of despair or tension, as if they are being dragged to a slaughterhouse.

‘What a mess.’

I had to hold back laughter while looking at their expressions.

‘No, the right number of people hasn’t arrived yet. ‘It’s been like that since day one.’

As well as the writers of the old file room.
Most people born in famous families did not appear on the first day.

It was probably classified separately by Mang.

On the first day, only a few people who stood out would have been placed to give a sneak peek.

You have to make it so tantalizing that people will be interested.

However, they may not have been able to identify those who hid their realm within it.

-So, in this meeting….

The further I walked, the more I heard a sound coming from afar.
Looking at the condition, the voice seemed to have been raised loudly.

-The shaking in the midfield was also… the Murimmaeng took control of it…

If you listen closely, it was Geomseon’s voice.
He was probably saying something to the crowd outside.

-So, I ask that you please welcome those who celebrate this festival with great cheers.

As I approached the entrance, the sound was unusually loud.
In line with what Geomseon said, Maeng’s warrior pulled the gate open.

-ruler! Let me introduce you to the leading figures who will lead the political faction in the future!

As soon as the door opens.

-Waaaaah–!!!

A huge cheer was heard.

-Waaaaah–!!!

Crowds packed into countless stands.
Everyone inside is filled with excitement and makes noise.

The sound passes by and my skin tingles.

How long has it been since I heard this much cheering?

‘I was nervous that it was the first day.’

A show-off gathering.

To be honest, that’s how I was watching it until just now, and you’ll probably only feel this kind of cheering on the first day.

Just in case you have any doubts.

‘If you’re going to do this, call everyone and do it.’

Why don’t you invite everyone and make them feel this in the first place?
It felt disappointing to show this to only 50 people first.

together.

‘I guess I haven’t grown up yet.’

He lightly stroked his arm and lowered the corners of his mouth.

cheer.

That huge shout makes me feel hot without even realizing it.
I thought I wouldn’t be tempted by something like that.

Strangely enough, I was shaken for a moment because it was a feeling I had never heard or felt.

‘Don’t be mistaken.’

That cheer is not mine.
I’m not even going to walk for those cheers.

I had to keep repeating it to myself.

I took a deep breath and cooled down my emotions.

‘What’s on my topic.’

I guess life has become a lot easier. I can’t believe I’m intoxicated by this heat. That shouldn’t be the case.

‘Remember what you have to do.’

I shouldn’t have forgotten.

I promise again and again.

That moment when I was closing my eyes like that. The last words flowed from the front.

“From now on, I will begin the Divine Dragon Martial Arts Festival.”

With Geomseon’s words, cheers erupt once again.

Waaaaaa—!!

It was the beginning of the damn martial arts system.
