The BoB tournament was split into two days.
The first day was the preliminaries.
The second day was the main competition.
The preliminaries were scheduled to begin on December 13, 2025.
The main competition was scheduled to begin on December 14, 2025.
In other words, today was the day the preliminaries began.
In view of this, after Rozen submitted his registration, in addition to the match list, the countdown to the start of the match also appeared on the screen.
Rozen arrived early, so there was still more than an hour before the tournament began.
However, Rozen was able to confirm his team.
"Group A No.1?"
Looking at the list that appeared on the battle list, Rozen smiled slightly.
"It's Group 1 No.1. Is this a good sign?"
The battle list was randomly assigned by the system. Even the first player to sign up would be assigned to any of the 15 groups. If the first group's first spot remained empty, it would be normal for the last player to get it.
Rozen got Group 1 No.1.
No one else could be as lucky as him.
However, Rozen quickly browsed through the list and found that there were several Character names that he had heard of before.
For example, Gale, who was ranked 13th in the last BoB tournament, was on this list.
"Isn't this the player who escaped from the Land of Death?"
Rozen was surprised, but he soon revealed a mocking smile.
"He can escape now, but he can't escape forever."
The player who was ranked 13th in the BoB tournament and escaped from Rozen was now back in front of Rozen. What a joke.
That player probably even has the heart to die right now, right?
"If I meet him in the preliminaries, I'll go easy on him."
This could be considered a special treatment.
Thinking of this, Rozen didn't leave immediately. After standing there for a while, he smiled slightly, turned around, and walked deep into the hall on the first floor of the presidential palace.
There were a few elevators lined up on the wall. One could go up or down. Many players used the elevators to head down to the venue.
One of the elevators was a girl that Rozen was familiar with.
"Tsk …"
The girl saw Rozen walking over and was speechless. She quickly pressed the button next to the elevator door, hoping that the elevator door would close quickly.
Unfortunately, Rozen leisurely walked over and entered the elevator before the door was about to close.
Rozen and the girl were the only two people in the elevator, and the elevator started to move as soon as the door opened.
Seeing that it was inevitable to take the same elevator as Rozen, Shi Nai could only keep a cold face, cross her arms, and remain silent.
Rozen did not speak either.
Rozen was sure that Shi Nai would take the initiative to talk to him.
As expected …
"Which group are you in?"
Shi Nai coldly asked such a question.
Rozen didn't feel surprised at all.
"Are you afraid of running into me?"
Rozen said something that sounded like a provocation.
"I'm afraid that before I meet you, you'll be finished off."
Shi Nai spat out such words without hesitation.
"Then I really want to know who can do it." Rozen curled his lips and said, "What about you? Which group are you in? "
"… Group D." Shi Nai was silent for a while, then said faintly, "I'm in Group D, number 20."
"It seems that we won't meet," Rozen shrugged and said, "I'm number 1 in Group A, so we won't meet in the preliminaries."
"Then work hard to enter the main competition." Shi Nai frowned slightly, then relaxed and said, "When the time comes, I'll definitely pay you back for what happened the day before."
After saying that, the elevator arrived at the destination and the elevator door opened directly.
Shi Nai stepped in without any hesitation, as if she did not want to be in the same group as Rozen. She walked quite straightforwardly.
Seeing this, Rozan can shook his head in amusement, walked out of the elevator, and entered the competition venue.
This place was as spacious as the hall on the first floor, but the light source was quite scarce. Only a few arc lamps covered by iron frames emitted a faint light. The floor and pillars were either copper plates that emitted a black light or dark brown iron mesh. There were some rough tables lining the walls, and there were many huge holographic panels on the roof. At the moment, the screen was dark, and only the words "BoB3" were displayed in crimson font.
The words "preliminary" and the dome-shaped venue that counted down before the start of the competition.
Rozen walked into the venue.
The next moment …
"— —"
All eyes were focused on Rozen, and the atmosphere in the entire space became heavy.
They were players who gathered close to the walls, tables, or upright iron pillars.
Some of them gathered together and whispered, and some stood there silently alone. At a glance, it was obvious that they were the participants of the BoB competition that was about to begin, and they exuded a fierce aura.
And these people's gazes were focused on Rozen, and they were also full of hostility.
There was no other reason, but because the people who came here were all participants of the BoB competition, and they were competitors who could not tolerate each other. Once the competition began, they would not spare any effort to kill each other. In the end, only thirty people would remain, but they would continue to kill each other tomorrow until there was only one person left.
Since that was the case, the only people who would gather here were enemies.
Since they were enemies, it was naturally impossible to be friendly.
However, when all the players saw Rozen's appearance, their expressions changed slightly.
"Hey … isn't he …"
"It's him …"
"Damn, he actually came …"
"I hope I'm not unlucky enough to be in the same group as him before the competition …"
"Hmph …"
The players immediately whispered to each other, and their gazes towards Rozen were not as fearless as before. Instead, they were full of fear and regret, and they looked away.
Rozen did not seem to notice this as he slowly walked forward and went to a corner. He leaned against a pillar, crossed his arms, and closed his eyes to rest.
The players glanced at Rozen from time to time, but they immediately looked away. Only a few players looked at Rozen curiously, as if they wanted to remember Rozen's appearance. They were very serious.
Among them, was Shi Nai who was sitting in the corner.
"What's there to be proud of?"
Shi Nai held a cold drink and looked at Rozen, who closed his eyes to rest, and whispered.
The one who responded to Shi Nai was a male player.
A male player walked in front of her without her knowing.
"Because he's very strong, that's why he's so proud."
The male player who said this had a head of long silver hair. He was wearing a straight gray camouflage uniform that was slightly brighter than dark gray. He had a smart face that suited his tall and thin build. He was not wearing any armor, so one could feel his agility. Instead of saying that he was a veteran soldier, it would be more accurate to say that he was a member of the special forces.
Shi Nai's expression softened a little when she saw this person.
"You're here too, Mirror."
Shi Nai said.
This person was Kyoji Shinkawa's character in GGO, Mirror.
"I'm here."
Mirror greeted Shi Nai and then looked in Rozen's direction.
A different color flashed in his eyes.
