As for why Hulim thought the reliability of the list was questionable, it was because the only person in the entire waiting room that particularly concerned her was someone who was ranked in the middle of the list.

He was a dog-beast man, holding a very long sword in his right hand. After entering the waiting room, he had been sitting in a corner with his eyes closed. He seemed to have been forgotten, and almost no one around him noticed his existence.

Actually, Hulim noticed this person during the preliminary round. She saw him by chance during a competition.

He played at a very slow pace and took a long time to defeat his opponent. Because of his mediocre performance, some of the spectators in the stadium fell asleep. That is why his ranking is not high.

However, during that game, Hulim discovered some clues.

For example, his sword was never unsheathed, and although his movements looked clumsy for a long time in order to avoid the opponent's frequent attacks, he was actually not injured at all under such intensive attacks. In the end, the opponent's magic power was almost exhausted, so he rushed forward to complete the harvest and win the game.

This style of play is completely different from my own...

At this moment, the dog-beast man who had been resting with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes, then raised his head and met Hulim's gaze.

Hulim averted her gaze as if nothing had happened.

The dog-beast man closed his eyes again as if nothing had happened and continued to rest.

“… …”

Hulim fell into deep thought.

This seemed to be the first time I had been noticed since I attended the conference...
