"Have you discovered anything?"
That was the first thing that was asked when the meeting began and the person that this was directed to was naturally me.
This was a meeting of the different members of the racial alliance.
It was only natural that they knew about my disappearance since it was something that was hard to hide, especially since I was considered one of the core members of the racial alliance.
At the same time, there was that prime minister that had snitched on me.
But it seemed like they had regarded this trip as a trip that had a different meaning.
They thought that this was a trip that I had taken to go and research something.
"Nothing in particular."
Of course this was a lie.
There were many things that I could have told them about, but they were a bit too sensitive to tell them right now. Though the key thing was that most of these things were related to Dorothy.
The relationship between Dorothy and the racial alliance was already a bit tense.
For them, Dorothy was already regarded as something dangerous and there had been many members that had wanted to detain her. They didn’t want to let her walk about since they saw her as some kind of ticking time bomb.
If they were to learn even more about her powers, such as what I had learned...it wasn’t hard to guess what they would have suggested.
As such, this was something that I would bring up after the main event that I was proposing.
What I was focused now was getting them to agree to this main event.
"I have a proposal for everyone." I suddenly changed the topic by saying this.
Everyone was surprised and there were a few people that seemed unhappy that the topic had changed, but what they were most curious about was what I was planning to propose.
Everyone regarded me as the person that was the most unpredictable.
After all, I had done all kinds of things that they just couldn’t believe.
However, the things that I did usually were beneficial for the racial alliance. That was why all of them held their word and waited to see what I was about to propose.
"There’s an event that I want to host with the help of everyone here."
"What event is it?" One of the representatives of one of the small kingdoms asked this.
They knew that while the event would mainly focus on the large countries of the racial alliance, they also knew that they would benefit from the scraps that would come from it.
So for them, it was best that they learned what this event was as soon as possible so that they would be able to prepare themselves. They would do all that they could to obtain as many benefits as possible.
The others didn’t say anything even though they were thinking the same thing.
They were using this one representative as the scapegoat here.
"It’s very simple, I want to hold a tournament."
"Tournament?" Everyone repeated in a confused voice.
There were some that didn’t think that what I was proposing was correct considering our situation, but I had already prepared for this.
"I know that you’re thinking that this is the wrong time to be doing something like this, but the truth is that it’s actually the best time. This is the time that we should be discovering as many talents as possible while we’re still in the calm before the storm."
It seemed like there were a few that could understand what I was saying as they had looks of deep thought on their faces, but most of them didn’t understand how we could accomplish this by holding a tournament.
I didn’t hesitate as I said, "Holding this tournament is the best way to discover new talent since we’re giving them a place to show off their abilities."
"That is true, but the ones that will be in this tournament will be those that we already know about." One of the representatives couldn’t help saying this.
"Why do you think that will be the case?" I asked them.
They didn’t answer right away as they looked at me with a confused look, but slowly their expression changed as they figured out what I was implying with these words.
"You can’t mean...But that would be too chaotic!" He said in a shocked voice.
I just calmly replied, "That’s why I’m asking for everyone’s help. If it wasn’t for this, then the Kite Kingdom would have been able to hold this tournament on our own."
This time, there was silence that followed after I said this.
There were looks of deep thought that were on everyone’s faces this time.
It seemed like the words that I had said had struck a chord with them and now they were thinking about the pros and cons of my proposal.
There were many things that had to be considered when it came to this, so I didn’t say anything as I waited for a response from them.
After a while, the silence was broken by the representative from the Holy Empire, "I agree with this and the Holy Empire will support the holy son."
The others weren’t surprised by this statement from the Holy Empire since they had agreed with all the things that I had proposed before.
But that didn’t mean that the Holy Empire didn’t have a strong influence.
After all, they were one of the four empires of the human race.
"We agree as well." The representatives from the Tide Empire and the Sorcery Empire said at the same time.
With the four empires agreeing to this, the rest of the representatives from the other races also agreed.
The only reason that they had hesitated in the first place was because they were in laws of mine, so it would have seemed wrong to agree right away.
But now that the four empires of the human race agreed, it was much easier for them.
The only question now was, "What kind of tournament will it be?"
