The host, who identified himself as Patrick Rothfuss, suddenly took over the show. The guards and officers there were speechless, they only glanced pitifully at the young master regretting their incompetence in maintaining the festival properly.
Patrick comes from a well-to-do noble Rothfuss family.
The reason why Layla was worried and never expected Patrick to come was that Patrick was obsessed with her. He often approached Layla when she was still active at university until he forced her into the same group as him when there was a dungeon conquest mission.
Even though Zachary had tried to give refusal and hinder the intentions of the Rothfuss family to approach their daughter, it didn't help much.
Near the stage, Archie saw several male nobles who had previously fl
Finished with the yellow balloons, Patrick popped another from his palm, then tossed one to each person on the stage. A venial throw that is easy to catch. The thrown marble emitted light cathed and turned into a bow.Archie was shocked by the magic he saw. It was the first time someone could do this kind of magic. Moreover, the glowing bow seemed to suck Archie's mana when he held it."That is my skill, the bow of light, by using it you can shoot arrows of light as long as you channel mana into it," explained Patrick. He summoned his own bow of light and shot an arrow upward. His movement was so quick that it was hard to follow, and in a matter of seconds, the arrow of light hit the balloon and shattered it."That is how it is! Don't worry about balloons or arrows to use, both will be ready in a few moments, really
Archie has seen it all. The first four participants get a range of scores between the number of thirty. They didn't miss a single shot, but that figure was taken after calculating the time it took to fire their next shot. The sixth participant was a special case as he used a bow skill that released three arrows at once. However, the time lag for the next shot is the same.It took a bit longer, even if it was a split second, but Archie could feel the difference after experiencing it himself.The second shot, the arrow of light curved downwards before hitting the balloon, as if it lacked thrust in its flight.In public, Archie is known to use a sword and is proficient in sword martial arts. Some viewers who are aware of that fact will think Archie just had bad luck getting the target shooting challenge.
Marquis Lio Klengel came down from the stage through the back while covering his face from everyone. Even so, Archie knew very well the man was upset about something. It wasn't just because of a trivial matter like losing the challenge match just now. It’s like another, more immense regret was hidden between them.Two other participants stepped forward—Earl Benjamin Kunst and Count Tobi Felgiebel—drawing the spears from their back and waist. Stand confidently in front of the audience while playing with their weapons in style.It was common for people to cheer even at the sight of something quite embarrassing for Archie.“Since there are only five participants left with only two types of weapons, will our greatest adventurer take on both of them at once or want to try it one on one?”
There is still time. If Archie could end their game, there would still be time for the peak of the festival to end as scheduled.Between the audience, in the backstage, and outside the main square, the citizens of Krakal and Alian could only watch, especially the operators behind the stage—they couldn't stand against Patrick, who took over their festival.There are many things that Archie has to take care of, his family, his citizens, his city, and the place that shelters them today. This world was a different world from what he used to live in. With different ethics, different laws, and even different laws of nature, Archie can't stay in his former self-awareness."I'll show you how to properly conquer dungeons!"Archie's speech reached the back row of the audienc
Cerenuma took the magic device stuck near Patrick's ear, then put it on herself. "It should be like this, huh? Ah. Correct. Good evening, the audience to the festival," she greeted everyone calmly. "Isn't the little show just now enough to prove Archie's capacity as a Redcaste candidate?"The audience couldn't contain their curiosity, confused after hearing someone as young as Archie would board Redcaste so soon.“Only one month to Redcaste?!”"So unbelievable.""It even took me 3 years to get up to Purplecaste and I'm proud."Cerenuma tried to calm the audience. “A moment's silence, please. You are ordinary people, and you are normal humans. This kid is just some special rare case or whatever we could say.
“Is this the highlight event you guys arranged? If that's the case, I think ending at this point is appropriate, right?" Cerenuma said.“That's how it is. This is also thanks to Archie's reasoning. If not, maybe we will schedule other events or even take a completely different approach besides holding this festival,” Layla replied.Whether by coincidence or what, Archie only considered using an ancient ritual from the Whitehall family’s inherited skill. He thought about it after reading the secret parchment that Zachary had given him.Zachary's attitude proved that Archie had been fully accepted by the Whitehall family. By knowing many secrets and information that only Whitehall's blood can provide, Archie learns a lot of knowledge, including magic that is rarely exposed.
Patrick had just returned from his family's political affairs, and it took a little while for him to immediately find out all the information about Layla in his absence. At that moment, he finds out Krakal is holding a new festival.As a high noble, of course, he has many acquaintances of fellow nobles who are willing to follow what he orders. Due to time constraints and the lack of information he could get, that was the only extent Patrick could intervene in the festival.“Yes, I also think it was a hasty and foolish action. If he wants to intervene in this festival, I can think of a few things that will bring down the Krakal name, or specifically the main family," said Archie.Determine the main goal and then process all the information in order to achieve that goal. "So, what do you mean by that?" It was a rumour, but Archie had never heard of it. Initially, to enter the irregular, one must have the title of Redcaste. That title could be attained by decades of dungeon conquering or obtaining and following recommendations from the empire. The man they were referring to, Razor, was someone with the Assassin Cross class. Indeed when compared to Layla's Spellcaster, from several perspectives, the Razor class undoubtedly had an advantage that was difficult to match. There was once news spread regarding a boy who had been missing for several months, there was no word of him during that time, but miraculously one day, he returned and came out of a newly appeared irregular dungeon. Witnesses to this incident were the other Redcaste-class adventurers, who had previously been ordered to subdue the irregular. "When Razor came out of the irregular gate, that alone was surprising, but then, the irregular dungeon just Isekai Grimoire System Ch. XV: Rune Explanation
