After the closing ceremony of Milham Academy, spring vacation officially began. And with spring came the Sword Festival, an annual competition hosted by the King of Milham. The festival spanned the entirety of the vacation, with an obscene amount of money poured into it—easily the largest budget ever spent on a tournament.
But, of course, entering the tournament required registration. Sign-ups were only open for the first week of vacation, so anyone wanting a shot had to make their move fast.
Titania, Trill, and I were headed there to register. All three of us had decided to participate in the tournament.
I didn't know why Titania suggested it, but it seemed she was set on claiming the ten-thousand-gold prize waiting for the winner. That much money wasn't just a reward—it was life-changing.
When we arrived at the registration site, a massive line was already snaking out of the building.
"So many people…" Titania murmured, her eyes widening slightly.
