The first round of the qualifiers would only end when 120 contestants were selected. However, it would take a lot of time to decide 120 out of 2,421 contestants, even if it was a one-on-one battle between elves.
Especially in the current situation where there weren't enough battle arenas, the time taken for the first round of the qualifiers was even longer.
Moreover, with such a large number of contestants, the 120 contestants in the first round would have to defeat at least five opponents to successfully pass the first round of qualifiers.
However, in this process of elimination, the contestants who had successfully made it out of the qualifiers were obviously not weak. Each of them had at least the strength of an elite trainer.
After Kaede Sato defeated Kimura Junichiro, who was in the top eight of this year's City Alliance, he fought against three other contestants in a row until lunchtime.
Unfortunately, except for Kimura Junichiro, who had some strength in the beginning, the three trainers that Kaede Sato subsequently encountered were the type of people who were just there to make up the numbers. He could easily win with just the three elves, Shining Big-Mouthed Gull, the Nito King, and Hercules.
At 12: 11 in the afternoon, Kaede Sato was having dinner with a group of elves at a roadside restaurant near the large battle venue.
Because the nearby restaurants were overcrowded today, and because he did not make a reservation in advance, Kaede Sato could not book a single private room even if he had the money.
In order not to delay the competition because of eating, Kaede Sato could only eat with the group of elves at the open-air dining table of this high-end restaurant, which had relatively few customers.
However, with the Swamp Monster, a big eater, around, it was hard not to notice Kaede Sato's open-air dining table.
At this time, the dishes on the open-air dining table where Kaede Sato was at were piled high. The ground nearby was also full of all kinds of food scraps, and the number of plates and food scraps was constantly increasing.
"Please ask a few people to clean up these plates and food scraps. Oh, and also give me twenty more of these seafood kebabs. Oh, and also a bottle of warm milk and three glasses of frozen orange juice."
Kaede Sato looked calmly at the mountains of plates and food scraps in front of him. When these things had accumulated to a certain amount, he immediately called for a waitress who looked cute and said to her.
"Yes, I'll ask someone to come and clean up and let the kitchen do it right now."
The cute girl, who was wearing a maid costume and carrying a plate, saw the situation at Kaede Sato's table. She naturally knew that Kaede Sato was a big customer of the restaurant. Faced with Kaede Sato's request, she did not hesitate to make the best choice. After bowing and nodding to Kaede Sato, she immediately trotted all the way into the restaurant.
After a while, under the surprised gazes of nearby customers, two strong chefs quickly brought out two trolleys from the restaurant, and then worked hard to clean up the plates and food scraps on Kaede Sato's table.
"Oh my god, that blue-skinned elf can eat too much. His appetite should be almost as big as the Kabi Beast's. I feel that his trainer will sooner or later be poor because of him."
"If it were me, I would probably be poor because of him in a month. Damn rich dog."
"This Giant Swamp Monster is twice the amount of food that my six little elves can eat. Am I seeing a fake Giant Swamp Monster?"
…
When the trainers who were eating nearby saw the situation at Kaede Sato's table, their eyelids twitched, their hearts raced, and they began to whisper to each other.
Kaede Sato's ears were very good. He heard almost all the words of the trainers nearby, but when he heard them, he only smiled slightly, not caring at all.
The Swamp Monster was his trump card. As long as it could satisfy his needs, Kaede Sato was willing to spend more money.
"Kaede Sato, it's really you. Why do you look different? Fortunately, you have Pikachu and the Swamp Monster, so I recognized you."
"Ah, Pikachu, long time no see. You've grown up a lot."
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind Kaede Sato. Then, a blue-haired beauty and an elegant long-eared rabbit appeared on Kaede Sato's side.
At that moment, Pikachu, who was drinking a large bottle of milk, turned around and saw who it was. He immediately dropped the large bottle of milk in his hand and flew to the shoulder of the newcomer with a happy look on his face. He intimately rubbed the person's cheek.
"Namami, didn't you say you were going to the Carlos region? Why are you here? "
When Kaede Sato saw the person, he immediately recognized that she was Dr. Omaki's granddaughter, Namami Omaki. This time, he did not hide his identity and said to her in surprise.
Before the two of them parted, he heard her mention that she was going to the Carlos region. He did not see her in the Omaki Research Institute, so he thought that she had already gone to the Carlos region. He never expected to bump into her in the city.
"How out of touch are you? The Carlos Alliance will only officially start in January next year. It's only September now. It's still early."
"As for why I'm here? Of course, I'm here to shop and visit a friend. "
"I was planning to go back yesterday, but Manjin Department Store organized such an interesting event, so I changed my mind and stayed. I didn't expect to bump into you here."
"By the way, you must be participating in it, right? Promise me, before we meet, you might not have enough to lose. "
"I heard from my grandfather that you seem to have become very strong. I didn't believe it at first, but after seeing your Swamp Monster, I believe it now. This time, let's have a good fight. I'll use my strongest elf to fight you."
When Namami heard Kaede Sato admit his identity, a look of realization appeared on her face. She first put Pikachu, who looked reluctant to leave, back on the table. Then, she pointed at Kaede Sato with one hand on her hip and the other pointing at him, issuing a challenge.
"Rabbit!!!"
At the same time, the Long-Eared Rabbit Goddess beside her did the same thing and shouted.
"No problem. If I meet you, I'll definitely do my best. When that time comes, you can't go easy on me."
When Kaede Sato saw Namami and the Long-Eared Rabbit Goddess issuing a challenge to him at the same time, his face twitched slightly. But when he thought of the opportunity to compete with Namami in her complete form, he could not help but be excited. He nodded solemnly.
"Uh … Um, can you guys pay attention to me? I've been standing here for so long."
Just as the two of them completed the challenge and were about to talk about other things, a voice full of hidden bitterness suddenly came from behind them.
At some point, a pink-haired girl with a large milk can appeared behind Sato Kaede and Nanami. She looked at Nanami, who had left her alone, with a resentful expression.
