(Klaus's PoV)
The moment the host stopped speaking, my match started, the first battle of the tournament. As I said, I had to participate in the first group battle, with everyone keenly watching us.
I had to keep on the down low. So even I dressed a bit less. I don't want to stand out with the high-quality armour. One look at me and everyone would be able to discern about me. I also had to make it look like I gave the battle everything I got to secure the wins or the next battles would only bring troubles for me. What a hassle, but it had to be done for a better future.
There was no reason for me to participate in this facade but to gain some name across nations. Sure many nobles would have come to know of my existence but they would have labelled me as the son of the Archduke or a weakling merchant.
