Alveiro smiled at Yuki, the Demon Emperor, who was smiling fearlessly, and Alveiro also smiled intending to inspire his will.

[This man is Alveiro Verbaan! He is a member of the Rogard Empire’s Senate… but that is irrelevant now! He is currently nothing but a challenger! A man who has shown his will, his ability, and that he is worthy of a challenge! Then let’s see what you have and what you are prepared to do!]

While the Demon Emperor Yuki’s speech continued, barriers were set up by the elven wizards who were deployed in the spectator seats.

These would be the same barriers that would be put up during the competition, but perhaps in terms of output…the current one would be by far the most powerful output.

The excitement of the entire stadium peaked, wondering what might happen.

“Are you ready, Alveiro Verbaan?” (Yuki)

“…Whenever.” (Alveiro)

At that moment, the sense of intimidation emanating from Yuki increased to the point of twisting space, and it began to exert tremendous pressure on Alveiro’s entire body, cells, and spirit.

◇◇◇

–The one who wished to surpass the Demon Lord had to be a brave one.

He who could survive in this chaotic world and lead a nation should be on the same level as a hero.

This was a ceremony for that purpose… The ruler of a nation must become a hero.

This ritual was intended to show the dedication of those who were going to lead a new nation, to know how much they were willing to endure for the nation.

The intimidation that Yuki was suppressing so far was fully unleashed, and he unrelentingly showered Alveiro with it.

If anyone else was in the vicinity, he would have been so intimidated that he would have fainted.

The pressure was so great that even monsters would flee at once when they sensed it. No living creatures would want to stay in the vicinity.

Indeed, in the audience, even though the elves were putting up their defensive barriers at maximum strength, the audience was on the verge of a panic.

Soldiers on guard duty were frantically shouting, “There is no danger here! Please calm down!”  to calm them down.

The rules of this ritual were simple.

All Alveiro had to do was reach Yuki, who was intimidating him.

But it was not as easy as it sounded, as you could easily see from the crowd.

But if Alveiro wished to lead this country, he would have to endure this level of pressure.

After all, what Yuki was doing now was not only to intimidate him, but to let him know that the hardships he would have to endure as emperor would be far greater than this.

Of course, Alveiro had trained for this day, but only four times had he been able to successfully approach Yuki after fainting many times and suffering from exhaustion.

They could not count the number of times they had to end the training halfway through because they thought Alveiro’s life would be in danger if he continued.

So there was a good chance that he would fail, but during their training, if he fainted, water would be poured over him to wake him up and make him keep trying until he was able to do so.

If he showed that he could get up and stand up to Yuki even after falling down, he would be recognized as a hero.

If he was too stunned to take a step forward, and it was deemed life-threatening, it would be a failure… Well, he had been trained until today to prevent that from happening.

Regarding that part, Yuki could only ask Alveiro to do his best and endure. 

Doing this, more fear would be aimed towards Yuki, but there would also be more sympathy from the people for the new emperor taking this challenge. Yuki never really bothered about what the people of this country thought about him in the first place.
