Chapter 1848

It was the first time that Severin encountered such an arrangement whereby the organizers gave away two places after recognizing that it would be difficult for them to win against him. After all, there were fifteen spots available in the tournament, and they were hoping he would not throw his hat into the ring after two gratuitous spots. Severin reflected on the proposal before saying with a grin, "Two places aren't enough." He was not alone in feeling that way. Wuhlricht, Felipe, and his wives were all eagerly awaiting to secure a breakthrough at the sacred lake. They were not about to accept a measly two places just because it was given to them as a concession. Severin's rebuff of their offer elicited a stark change of expression in Kiyu, Rourie, and the rest of the Chorteaus. "It would be wise to accept it," Rourie suggested with a wry smile. "I heard that the Gahrrs and Lischalts have already recalled their disciples from the Deifirm Sect and Purevoid Sect for this tournament."
