The first round of the qualifiers would only end after 120 contestants had been determined. However, to determine 120 out of 2421 contestants, even if it was just one-on-one battles, it would still take a lot of time.
Especially since there weren't enough battlegrounds, the first round of the qualifiers would take even longer.
Moreover, with such a large number of contestants, the 120 contestants in the first round would have to defeat at least 20 opponents to successfully pass the first round of the qualifiers.
However, in this process of elimination, the contestants who had successfully made it through the qualifiers were obviously not weak. Each of them had the strength of an elite trainer at the very least.
After Kaede Sato defeated Kimura Junichiro, who was one of the top eight contestants in this year's Citadel League, he continued to fight with 9 other contestants until lunchtime.
Unfortunately, other than Kimura Junichiro who was barely considered strong in the beginning, the other 9 contestants that Kaede Sato encountered were just there to make up the numbers. He could easily defeat them with just the Flashing Beak Gull, Nido, and Hercules.
12: 11 pm. At this time, Kaede Sato was having dinner with a group of Elves at a roadside restaurant near the arena.
Due to the overcrowding of nearby restaurants and the lack of a reservation, Kaede Sato could not book a single private room even if he had the money.
In order not to delay the competition by eating, Kaede Sato could only eat with a group of Elves at the outdoor table of this high-end restaurant.
However, with the Swamp Monster, the big eater Elf, Kaede Sato's outdoor table was hard to miss.
At this time, the plates on the table where Kaede Sato was sitting were piled high. The ground nearby was also filled with various food scraps, and the number of plates and food scraps was constantly increasing.
"I'll have to trouble you to get a few people to deal with these plates and food scraps. Oh right, give me another twenty of these seafood skewers. Oh, and a bottle of warm milk and three cups of frozen orange juice."
Kaede Sato calmly looked at the mountain of plates and food scraps in front of him. After these things accumulated to a certain amount, he immediately called a cute looking waitress and said to her, "Let's go, Kaede Sato.
"Yes, I'll ask someone to clean it up and let the kitchen cook it."
A cute girl in a maid uniform with a tray saw Kaede Sato's table. She knew that Kaede Sato was the restaurant's VIP guest. Faced with Kaede Sato's request, she made the best choice without hesitation. After bowing and nodding to Kaede Sato, she immediately trotted into the restaurant.
Not long after, under the surprised gaze of the nearby customers, two strong kitchen workers quickly moved out two trolleys from the store, and then worked hard to clean up the plates on the table and the food residue on the floor where Kaede Sato sat.
"Oh my god, that blue-skinned elf has such a big appetite. Its appetite is almost as big as Snorlax's. I think its trainer will be poor because of it sooner or later."
"If it was me, I would probably be poor because of it in a month. Damn that rich dog."
"This Giant Swamp Monster can eat twice as much as my six Fairies. Am I seeing a fake Giant Swamp Monster?"
.....
The nearby trainers who were eating saw the situation at Kaede Sato's table. Their eyes twitched, their hearts raced, and they began to whisper.
Kaede Sato's ears were very good. He could almost hear the words of the nearby trainers. But after he heard it, he just smiled and didn't care.
The Swamp Monster was his ace elf. As long as it could satisfy his needs, Kaede Sato was willing to spend more money.
"Kaede Sato, it really is you. Why do you look different? Thanks to Pikachu and the Swamp Monster, I was able to recognize you."
"Hey, Pikachu, long time no see. You've grown 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 this moment, Pikachu, who was drinking a large bottle of milk, turned around and saw who it was. He immediately threw down the large bottle of milk in his hand, then happily flew to the person's shoulder and intimately rubbed against the person's cheek.
"Nana Mei, didn't you say you were going to the Carlos region? Why did you appear here? "
When Kaede Sato saw the person who came, he immediately recognized that she was Nana Mei, the granddaughter of Dr. Dami. He didn't hide his identity this time. Instead, he said to her with a little surprise.
Before the two parted ways, he had heard the other party mention that they were going to the Carlos Region. He had not seen the other party in the Damu Research Institute, so he had thought that the other party had already gone to the Carlos Region. He had not expected to bump into the other party in the city.
"How uninformed are you? The Carlos Alliance will officially start again in January next year. It's only September now, so it's still early."
"As for why I'm here? Of course, it's to shop and visit a friend. "
"I originally planned to go back yesterday, but Manjin Department Store held such an interesting event, so I changed my mind and stayed. I didn't expect to meet you here."
"By the way, you must be participating, 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 Giant Swamp Monster, I believe it now. This time, let's have a good fight. I will use my strongest elf to fight you."
When Nana Mei heard Kaede Sato admitting his identity, her face immediately showed an expression of "I knew it". She first put the reluctant Pikachu back on the table, then pointed at Kaede Sato with one hand on her waist and the other on her other hand, issuing a challenge to him.
"Rabbit!"
At the same time, the long-eared rabbit god beside her did the same thing, then shouted.
"No problem. If I meet you, I will definitely go all out. When the time comes, you can't go easy on me."
When Kaede Sato saw Nana Mei and the long-eared rabbit god issuing a challenge to him at the same time, his face twitched slightly. However, when he thought of the opportunity to compete with Nana Mei in her Perfect Form, he couldn't help but show excitement on his face. He nodded seriously and said.
"Uh, that, can you guys pay attention to me? I've been standing here for so long."
Just when the two agreed to fight and were about to talk about other things, a voice full of resentment suddenly came from behind them.
Unknowingly, a pink-haired girl with a big milk can had appeared behind Kaede Sato and Nana Mei. At this time, she was looking at Nana Mei with a resentful expression.
