"I welcome you all to yet another ceremony! I'm sure most of you have placed your bets on who will win, or who will perish first. However, I have decided to open up the bets once again."
Turning toward Rael and a few other demons, Johan smiled.
"Would anyone like to enter the ceremony now? I am only looking for serious entries, and so if there aren't any, we'll proceed with the previous line-up."
Just like that, he fell silent for a few moments.
A certain group of demons saw this as their opportunity to shine, so they immediately stood up.
They flashed their muscles and also radiated a little bit of their mana, making sure the Demon King noticed them.
He obviously noticed that, and yet...
"I said serious entries. I don't want a bunch of Grade 2 weaklings entering and then being killed before the round can even start."
Yikes...
On the flip side, Rael was a Grade 3, so it kind of worked out.
He was just barely at the cut-off range.
