บท 540: Preliminaries

"Today's tournament will be is a bit special than the previous years. The Emperor said that since his own children and his best friend Sir Valdel's children have joined the tournament this year, they needed to increase the challenge a teensy bit. So instead of the battle royal that usually happens, this year's preliminaries we'll be doing something different."

Julia smiled which made many of her fans in the audience swoon. She then pointed at the people who were standing behind her.

Everyone was amazed to see who the people behind Julia were. In the entire Capital of New Grenton, not a single person hasn't heard of the five standing on the stage today. Their heroic deeds were known to all, as well as their past battle with the Emperor. These were the five heroes summoned to fight the Emperor in the pseudo-war that had happened years ago. 

"This year the participants will be facing the five heroes for the preliminaries."
