260-259 Brave selection competition will be held



 That's why I came.

 To the Center Guild.

'Wow, that's huge! Center Guild is so cool!
Gran has been here once before, you know?

 I wasn't materialistic back then, so it's no wonder I don't remember it.

 Naturally, the brave selection tournament is held in the center guild.
 So my son Gran will also come to the center guild.

 Well, if you think of it as making memories when he was small, it's acceptable enough.
 We have to take care of the other children and Malika is carrying the fourth child, so she stayed in the village.

 Me and Gran, father and son, are going out together.

 There are a number of stern-looking people stationed in front of the main gate of the Center Guild headquarters where we are currently standing.

 I'm not going to be the only one who's going to be able to do that.

 If they were to be chosen for the brave rear, they had to be at least an A-class adventurer.

 My six year old son will be fighting among them.
 I'm not worried about that...?

Gran-kun, can we go home now? Didn't it make for a great visit to the Center Guild?
'What? We're still at the door! If you don't properly participate in the tournament and become a brave man, you won't be able to leave!

 You're a vigorous son.
 The young and hopeful Gran was full of dreams of becoming a brave man.

You're going to participate in the selection process?

The shadow that hangs over us.
 It's not a bad idea to bring a child with you, isn't it?

You're not afraid to bring your child along, are you? You've got to be licking your brave ass.
No, it's not me who's competing...?

 You mean my son?
 Well, it's still more common sense for an old man with a child to challenge a brave man than a six-year-old.

'Looks like a forty year old man who is past his prime as an adventurer came to show the kids what a good time he has? Don't do that. Would you rather embarrass yourself in front of the children?

 A huge man who gets entangled in a misunderstanding.
 Another misunderstanding. I'm still just barely in my thirties, not yet forty.

I'm going to be the new brave one. The strongest adventurer in the world, Mr. Urbini, will become a hero and defeat the Demon King, which is the desire of the human race. You are a waste of time. It's a waste of time.
Dad....

 My breath Gran, with the innocence of a child, says

'Why is this old man so weak and high-minded?
What?

 The big man reacts instantly.

 My child, being a child, doesn't keep his thoughts in his mouth.

You little brat! What did you just say? You can't call me weak, the future hero, Mr. Urbini?

 I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.
 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

 As a matter of fact, I'm pretty much the same as my son.

'd*mn cheeky little brat! There are things you can say and things you can't say just because you're a kid! Do you want to hurt me!

 And the big man is not mature.

 You'll be able to get a lot more out of it. You'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

Get out of my way! You're going to have to discipline that little shit!
Don't be so angry. Can't you just let it slide?
"No, you can't miss it! I have to become a hero and defeat the Demon King! I won't let you accuse me of being weak like that!

 He is a narrow-minded big brother, isn't he?

 It is true that my child who speaks out immediately what is on his mind is also troubled.
 I have to teach him that he should keep silent about what he says.

Even if it is true, it is not good to tell the truth.
Hey, you!

 The big man is getting angrier and angrier.

'What do you mean it's true? You think I'm weak? You licked both of my children...!

 Big man, he drew his weapon.
 It was a thick-walled battle-axe.

"This is the important meeting for the selection of the brave, but I'm not going to back down after being insulted like this! If you're selling me a fight, I'm buying you one! Father and son die together!

 The axe that was swung down.
 It had a mixture of slash and hit aura at a ratio of about 3:2, but in terms of total volume, it wasn't the least bit threatening.

 It was already able to prevent the axe sufficiently, with an aura that had no meaning, wrapped around its body.

''What?!''

 The big man is surprised.

It's the best I can do. The rock-shattering axe was defended with your bare hands?
Bare-handed is a misconception. In this case, it's primarily the quality and quantity of the aura that counts.

 The battle between adventurers is determined by their auras.
 How much of the aura of the slash-and-strike defense and the four traits are properly managed.
 And the amount of aura.

 That's the primary factor in deciding the winner.

In this case, the amount of aura between you and me is too different. At a level where it doesn't matter what the difference is between a weapon and a bare hand.

 I knew it at first glance, but the big man's total aura is far below mine, and below Gashita and Zester.
 Even my brother-in-law, Lübeke, could beat him, I think.

 How can an A-level adventurer be inferior to a B-level adventurer?
 I wonder if he cheated something in the exam.

''Oh no..., my aura power is lower than this old man...?

 I stepped back, shivering and wannabe.
 It's a good thing that you are honest, but it's hard to become a brave man if you have the mental capacity to be astonished by a point like this.

''.......No! I'm not going to be overwhelmed by this! I'm going to be a hero! Like that Lady Arantzill!

 But not gracefully.
 You should not have done this, but you have rallied yourself to challenge me again.

 I could have just apologized and dodged it, but I have my son in front of me.
 I can't afford to show him my disrespect in front of his son.

 I'm going to beat you to a pulp.

Don't do it.

 But he was stopped.
 The big man was grabbed from behind by someone else.

 With that alone, the big man's four limbs stopped as if frozen in an instant.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of who you're going to attack if you're going to be a hero. You're the one who is the enemy.
What? You are...?

 The big man looks back and assesses the person who stopped him, and is surprised.

 What kind of celebrity are you?

 The newcomer is a skilled-looking man who appears to be in his thirties.

 It's not particularly huge or flashy, but the presence of a presence is clearly different from that of the others.
 It was quiet and yet heavy from the appearance. You can see at a glance that this is hand training. Will he also participate in the heroic contest?

You are Dariel of the village of Lax, aren't you?
''Oh, yes...?''

 A guru-like man spoke to me.

It's a pleasure to meet you. It's a great honor to meet you, and it's great that you're participating in today's tournament.
No, it's not me that's competing...?
Everyone knows Arantziel, the great warrior. I'm sure you've got a lot of talent as his own son, and he's rumored to be even more talented than his father. You're the one.

 ''Geez!'' next to the conversation. I heard a dirty cry.

' 'Ko? Is that...? And this is Master Arantziel's son? No, he's that guy's...?

 It was a big man with an axe.
 I'm sure you're not the only one.

"You can't even guess the opponent's strength, you novice. If you're as powerful as he is, you should be wary of his appearance alone, even if you don't know his identity as the son of a hero.
What...?
No fool will ever be chosen as a hero. So go back to the country before you disgrace yourself.

 It was a tough talk.
 Guru-style, he turned to me again.

''Excuse me. I am Kamikazo, a Class A adventurer from the city of Joshua. It is my deepest honor to participate in the same selection committee as the son of the Great Brave.
Huh...?
I'm going to challenge you to the main tournament with the intention of borrowing your heart. The choice for the hero is yours, but let's give it our all to the end.

 Shaking hands lightly, Kamikazo-san and the others left behind the center guild.

 ''Arantzill-sama's son........? ' 'A stranger has arrived. "'Isn't that the winner? I don't think I'm going to compete, but I'm not.

 There's no time to say, "I'm not going to participate in the tournament," and there's no time to say it.

 On the other hand, my son Grandpa is watching the whole thing from my side.

"Dad, you're so cool!

 I was happy to see him look at me with envy, though.
