I Became the Demon King of Lust

Chapter 287: Tournament

After watching us for a bit, Bing Lan waved for us to sit down again and we sat down in front of her desk.

Once we were sitting, Bing Lan suddenly said, "Other than this, there's something else that I want to discuss with you."

I was surprised that there was more, but I gave a nod to show that I was listening.

Bing Lan took out a piece of paper and put it in front of me before saying, "I need you to sign up for this."

I couldn't help being surprised by this again before looking down at the piece of paper in front of me.

I found that it was a flyer for some kind of event. Read the latest on ???

When I looked at it closely, I found that it was a flyer for a tournament.

This tournament seemed to be one that gathered the newbies of the various guilds together and made them compete in events to see who was better. It was something that was done to show off the future prospects of the various guilds, while also building up fame for the various guilds.

But the most important thing was that it was a competition for the top guilds.

This was a chance that should be given to the best rookies, but now Bing Lan said that she wanted me to enter it, I couldn't help being caught off guard.

However, when I thought about it, I slowly realized what she wanted to do.

"You want to use this chance to show that I'm harmless?"

Bing Lan gave a nod as she said, "Isn't it a good chance? With this incident, we need to do something to show that you're fine or else people will start demanding that you be captured again. Since that's the case, let's make it as big as possible."

I couldn't help knitting my brows slightly when I heard this.

While showing off like this wasn't something that I wanted to do, I recognized that it was indeed the best solution in this situation.

After all, if you showed everyone that there was nothing to fear, then it would be easier for us to move past this.

There was nothing better than a public display like this.

But at the same time, there was something to be worried about.

This wasn't just me that was being shown off, but the power of the entire guild.

I wasn't that confident that I would be able to defeat everyone that was at this tournament.

So this plan that hinged on me performing well at the tournament might not work since I couldn't guarantee victory.

There were a few things that I had to ask before entering this tournament.

"Is it just me alone who is entering the tournament or will there be others with me?"

Bing Lan took out something else and this time it was revealed to be a folder.

She placed it in front of me for me to read at my own pace.

I opened it to find that it was a detailed information packet about the tournament that would have answered all the questions that I had.

After I opened it, Bing Lan said, "You can keep that and read up on the tournament on your own time."

Then without any hesitation, she also pulled out another folder that she put in front of me.

I closed the first folder she handed me and opened up this second folder.

I found that this folder had some personnel files in it and these files were familiar to me.

That was because these were files that were about my team.

I looked through this folder and found that other than my team, there was no one else here.

I looked back up at Bing Lan and found that she was looking at me with a smile on her face.

With all of this, I knew exactly what she was implying.

Plain and simple, she was saying that my group was the only group that would be sent to this tournament.

I was fine with this since if I had my group, I would be able to accomplish what I wanted.

Though the one person missing was Bing Xin.

It seemed that she didn't count as a rookie anymore, so she wouldn't be able to enter this tournament.

But there was also something else that I wanted to add.

"Can I bring some other people with me?"

Bing Lan was surprised to hear this, but then she said, "Who do you have in mind?"

The ones that I wanted to add were Kaito and his group.

We had gotten along well during our dive into the raid dungeon, so I felt like they would be helpful in this tournament. They had abilities that worked well with our group's, so it would be good if we could work together.

Bing Lan quickly agreed to let Kaito's group enter as well since they were at the top of the list if it wasn't for me.

With that settled, there was nothing left for us to discuss and I was allowed to leave.

After exiting the office, I couldn't help letting out a long sigh of relief.

I really had not expected things to go this way, but it was a good thing that things had worked out in the end.

Otherwise…I might have ended up on a dissection table.

Or even worse, I would have ended up six feet in the ground.

But now that everything had been settled, I could feel my nerves relaxing and my body relaxing with it.

It almost felt like I was about to fall forward.

Before I could though, Su Chen suddenly appeared to catch me.

With a shared smile, the two of us left this place.

…

"How could this have happened!"

"Smash!"

The sound of something being smashed against the wall rang out before the same voice as before shouted, "Everything had been prepared, so how could they turn out this way? How could he escape?!"
