Chapter 3 - Tournament of Swords

After seeing those two words ,I had to check it out. So I tried to pick the third option ,until I realized that I didn't have hands.

Suddenly ,the third option glowed as if it knew my choice and some kind of lottery machine showed up with the word SPIN on the screen.

There was a big lever with a red ball at the end on the front of the machine. I floated over and slammed my hilt onto the top of the red ball and pushed the lever all the way down and back up again.

Words started flashing past on the screen. Things like 'Unbreakable' 'Death' and 'Spirit'. Flashed by.

It eventually slowed to a halt and landed on 'Acceleration'.

"You have gained the concept seed ,Acceleration. Do you accept?"

Sure ,sounds cool. It's not death ,but it'll do.

"Acceptance acquired. Integrating Concept Seed: Acceleration."

"Integration succesful ,now you may choose between option one and two once more."

I guess I'll go with option two for now. I don't exactly know what a spirit sword is. At least option two will boost my strength immediately.

...

As soon as I had finished the thought ,I faded into unconciousness and woke up in my wielder's hand. I felt slightly sharper and tougher when I awoke as well.

Ivan immediately started running somewhere. After a few minutes ,we were inside a city in front of some kind of booth.

The lady running the booth told Ivan about the rules for entry in the 'Tournament Of Swords.'

The player has to be level 50 or lower. They have to wield a blade type weapon ,and the top three winners get prizes.

Apparently ,this is a tournament recognized by the developers of the game and is ran by a guild called Knights Of The Roundtable.

Of course they were called that. I also figured out by now ,that this 'game' was Yggdrasil. It was a vrmmo game in another world.

From one of my favorite anime ,Overlord. I was a little excited when I learned this of course.

But considering I'm a sword of someone that is definitely not part of Ainz Ooal Gown ,there is no guarantee I will make it to the new world.

As I continued to fret over that ,Ivan had made his way to the qualifier round of the tournament.

Basically ,he had to fight and win against at least three other contestants. He also had until the end of today to do it.

It was held in an arena where a contestant would stand in the arena. They would either stand unopposed for ten minutes straight ,lose and try again later ,or win three fights.

If they do the first or the third ,they qualify for the main tournament. Only a thousand people can qualify before someone will announce the end of the qualifier round.

After walking up to the arena ,I saw a player named OdaNobunaga. Ivan immediately jumped up to the arena and attacked him with me.

The player was protected by a blue shield before a voice sounded out.

"A duel has been initiated ,two-sided protection will be removed for players and ."

"Three. Two. One. Go."
