Chapter 161: (Self Edited) Night of Togi Tournament
The [All Togi Tournament] had begun again this year.
This was the third Togi Tournament that I knew, but it seemed that the strong players didn’t change that much. Some of them were together in the first round of the tournament. The skill ranking within the school of Knights was something that didn’t change, and the ranking within the Silver Birch dormitory was probably the same. Of course, there were many exceptions, but the same representative would be participating two to three times.
Myaro joined in last year’s tournament, so this year was my turn. This time around, Jura Lacramanus had graduated, and there were no females from the seven great Witch households. When I thought about it, the tournament was done only in two days, and the second day would be held after the sunset, so I didn’t think there was too much of a distraction from my normal routine.
Myaro didn’t actually win the tournament last year. It was probably because of what happened two years ago. If the school of Knights won for the second time in a row and it was the traitor of Gudanvier, it would be a problem. So, she went easy.
According to Myaro, who was the person involved, the strongest player in this tournament was a woman known as Lirica Kucririson and Erlita Davich.
Lirica was a woman who won the tournament last year, and she was a pretty strong opponent I faced in the semi-finals two years ago. Erlita Davich was a really young girl who I saw at the opening ceremony and according to what I heard, she was only eleven years old.
This girl seemed to have an outstanding skill in Togi at a young age, and she became the representative the year she entered the Silver Birch dormitory. In other words, she participated last year as well. Lily-senpai told me that there seemed to be a dispute as to why a newcomer was able to become a representative instead of a senior student who was in line for anything, but since she was participating the year before that, there was a strong atmosphere that they wouldn’t pass the victory to the opponents. Therefore, they chose representatives based on skill.
“Please take care of me.” (Lirica)
“Likewise.” (Yuri)
