I Was Reincarnated But I Don't Know Why Chapter 13

TL: Yuki

________________________________________________

The Merchant who was selling tickets - Zasuka awakens, and an unfamiliar ceiling enters his sight.

「……Here is?」

Slightly feeling pain from his shoulders when he raised his body, he remembers the situation which leads to his condition. It seems like he was carried to a nearby medical facility's rest room.

「Oh, have you finally woken up」

Turning towards the source of the voice, there he found a soldier dressed in red light armor relaxing and drinking coffee.

「Walcoz-kun, was it you who brought me here? Thanks」

「Although any kind of trauma was not found, I have requested a recovery magician to a.s.sist just to be safe. A little amount of pain might still have remained though」

Recovery magic is convenient when recovering wounds or easing put pain, but it's not versatile enough to completely remove it and would have to be recovered overtime.

If it was not really an emergency, it is fine if Zasuka woke up while suffering a little amount of body pain.

After rotating his shoulders for a bit while his face distort in pain, He moves to the place where Walcoz was seated, Walcoz then prepared the same coffee he drinks and offered it to Zasuka.

「Even so……『I can't partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion because Zasuksan collapsed』 is what she said so I've given her a partic.i.p.ation ticket, but is it really fine to do that?」

「Oh, if it's that then there's no problem……By the way Walcoz, you know that I've been a peddler for many years, and within those times I've fought thieves bandits and monsters on the way. If I was registered as an adventurer, which rank do you think would represent me?」

　Walcoz immediately answers without thinking much about it thinking it was some sort of joke.

「Because I don't really know about Zasuksan's peddler era, I could only give a guess based on the time you have settled down here, and it would probably be around C Rank or lower B Rank is what I could think of」

「Certainly it would be around that now since I have become a bit dull now since I've settled down, such a thing is just inevitable 」

　Zasuka have a lot of experience in combat, especially in interpersonal fights, not to mention the several times that he would join training with the knights.

There are no mistakes to his guess, because Walcoz was also a part of the Royal Knights and there are times where he also witnessed him joining their trainings.

After gulping down his coffee, Zasuka heaved a deep sigh.

「It is A Rank, Some even said that I was close to those of non-standard ranks but I don't thing I belong to that side though. Well, that's only what the people I know of said…… 」

「What are you trying to imply?」

Being directly asked by Walcoz, Zasuka began to talk about what happened while placing his shoulders on the desk and started laughing.

「It was because that child said that she would like to partic.i.p.ate without any weapon or armor, and at first I was thinking what is wrong with that child. Then as a little threat I said to her 『This is not a place you should try out and enter just out of your curiosity』 that is to show her just what kind of compet.i.tion she will be partic.i.p.ating in」

「Well, thinking about it, it is quite rare nowadays to find a fist fighter that doesn't use any kind of weapon」

「And then I said to her 『If you really insist in joining, then you have to defeat me first』. Honestly speaking, it was just a joke, and she really attack me then I would threaten her a little more then she says 『That's convenient』 then blacked out after that」

「Is that so, then if she defeated you, does that mean that she would be on upper B Rank in terms of skills and power?」

「No, I didn't even last a second」

「What are you trying to say? 」

「You see Walcoz-kun, I did not even last a second when I fought that little girl. I was certainly negligent thinking it was just a little girl barehanded without even armor. But honestly, even if I prepared myself and wore my best weapon and armor to fight against her, I don't even think I would last 10 seconds against her. That's just how out of the norm that little girl is」

「You did say that you were A Rank before, and close to a nonstandard rank right…?」

Remembering what Zasuka told him before Walcoz once more asked for confirmation.

They were wrapped in silence for a moment and the cheering from the Arena could be heard.

Zasuka the lifted his face and asked.

「So how long was I out, and what's going on with the tournament? 」

「The sixth set have just started before, and now that there's cheering maybe it's about to be settled now」

「What about the tickets 」

「I have made arrangements, I have called for personnel from Zasuksan's firm」

「Is that so, thank you…… Walcoz-kun, don't you still feel like coming back home? You know, you have just the right discipline to be a merchant」

「No, though I am thankful for the offer, but right now I am a member of the Royal Knights」

「……By the way, at what group did she belong to? 」

「Well, the partic.i.p.ation ticket that I've given her is green so 8th group」

「okay…… but anyway, we need to be careful. You know, it is about 『That Girl』 which is bad news, so we really need to watch over 『That Girl』. Especially if the fight becomes a magic battle, though the stadium can somehow help with injuries, attacks with instant death won't be recovered」

「I understand」

　After finishing their discussions, they both stood up at the same time and went back to their respective duties.

At that time, the matches for the sixth round have ended and the battle for the seventh round is about to start.

Now then, what should I do, the seventh round just started.

If I remembered correctly, that soldier-san said that I should meet him at the entrance of the waiting room.

It will be too awkward to tell mom about it, and I will easily be noticed if I suddenly slip away, and now what should I do.

Once she witness how I fight, I don't think she would not let me partic.i.p.ate, but right now she probably won't let me enter.

「Mom, pickin flawers」

「Flowers? Why are you talking about that now, are you tired of watching?」

Hmm, don't they use that term around here? Well, I didn't hear anyone say something like that before so I didn't really know.

When I said I will go picking flowers, the 『Adventurers』 were thinking, fufufu……you also want some money is it.

「No not that, wait for it」

「Fine, you can where you want, but do you know where you need to go? 」

「daizobu, can find immediately」

「Be sure to return immediately」

「Nn」

　If I'm not mistaken, it should be close to the stairs. Mom returned her focus on watching the next round. I then immediately moved to the waiting room.

There I found the soldier who was wearing a light armor standing in front of the waiting room probably confirming the tickets of the partic.i.p.ants.

I took out my green ticket and showed it to the soldier, it was the same person who gave me the ticket.

「Merchant, all right? 」

「Aah, if it's Zasuksan then he's fine, He also confirmed that you can partic.i.p.ate」

When the soldier received my ticket from me, he handed me a written notice.

But well, I can't read letters yet.

「This, what is?」

「It's a memorandum given to all partic.i.p.ants, be sure to properly read and follow it then put it in the collection box after」

「but you see, me can't read」

「Can't read? What, really?」

「Un」

　This reaction, wait, could it possibly be that in this world everyone is almost a hundred percent literate?

Looking at Rikkchan reading a book since we were young, I was having a misconception that she might be a genius.

Because I didn't get something 『Language Learning』 skill or the like, I am thinking that this is really a hard core game or just something else. But well, I'm not really sure if this has that same game mechanics or the like.

To send to a world such as this without even the skill to easily learn language!?

I don't really know what to say, I absolutely didn't receive any skills like that…

「If that's the case, then let me read it for you」

「You fine?」

「In this case, it just couldn't be helped you see……」

「Certainly」

And so, the soldier-san explained to me the rules on the written memo.

First, there is an automatic recovery magic circle set up on the stage, it can easily recover anyone as long as they didn't receive any instant death attacks. It sure is convenient that if you damage someone to the point that the recovery will activate, that person recovered will be declared by the referee as disqualified or defeated.

Light wounds would be fine but if it's deep enough to hinder mobility like for example, how the a.s.sa.s.sin person disables his opponents in the third match and finishing them while lightly pushing his blade to their throats, even if the partic.i.p.ant don't admit it they will be forced to withdraw. Defeat will also be determined on the level of recovery needed to treat wounds.

However, in the case where the recovery didn't activate and the person who was stabbed on his throat died, the a.s.sa.s.sin will be disqualified as an overall decision and both side will be made to go out of the stage.

Speaking of instant death attacks, they would those that would be strong enough to blow away or destroy the head or the heart. Something like the attack I used when obliterating those Warwolves in the past I guess. That certainly blew off not only the head but even the upper part of its body.

Next will be conditions for defeat.

It includes, stunning, disabling, or immobilizing your enemies. Making them surrender or throwing them out of the ring is also included.

Unn, very easy to understand.

In addition to that, it is possible to use any kind of weapon or support and attack items in this tournament that the partic.i.p.ant brought in.

The soldier-san greatly implied that I should take care not to easily be targeted by those things or be very careful about them since I look like I didn't really

「Because everyone can bring just about anything including dangerous materials, be sure to carefully pay attention to everyone」

「Understand」

　Soldier-san kindly taught me everything I need to know, but what I was thinking about more is that recovery magic sure is amazing. It can deal with just about anything (Maybe), but I wonder why it couldn't be of help in the case of Rikkchan's disease.

Well, there were certain conditions upon usage that complicate with the disease and that made the recovery ineffective to Rikkchan.

When all of the explanations were finished by the soldier-san, the seventh round has ended and now the eighth round will begin.

Since I was talking with soldier-san close to the entrance, as soon as everything ended I thank the soldier-san and then I went straight to the waiting area for the partic.i.p.ants.
