"Are you sure that you want to watch this one?" The prime minister was surprised when I said that I wanted to go to one of the tournaments with him.
After all, the one that I wanted to see with him was one that wasn’t considered as popular.
Even he was a bit confused about why I wanted to host this tournament.
The other ones he had an inkling of why I wanted to host them, but this one was a very strange one.
After all, this one was a game tournament.
It was a very niche game that I wanted to host this tournament for, which was why most people were surprised that I wanted to host something like this. But because I insisted on it, we were able to host it in the end.
Though it was clear that none of them understood my reasoning behind hosting this tournament.
Most of them just assumed that I was hosting this one as a sort of intermission between the other tournaments.
They thought that I was hosting this one to let the people have a place to enjoy themselves.
But this was one of the ones that I regarded as the most important.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been so adamant about hosting this tournament.
When we arrived, it didn’t seem like there were many others that were watching this tournament. We had come in disguise so there wasn’t anyone that recognized us, but it wouldn’t have mattered anyway.
The only ones that would come and watch this tournament were those that were truly in love with the game that this tournament was for.
So when there was a competition of this caliber, it was only natural that they would be completely focused on it. It was only natural that they wouldn’t notice two random people arriving all of a sudden.
When we arrived, I didn’t hesitate to go to where everyone was gathered.
That was because I knew exactly who it was that was currently playing.
This match was the reason that I had come to observe this tournament at this time.
At the same time, this match was the one that I had wanted to show the prime minister.
After all, this was an important match.
Or rather, one of the people that participated in this match was important.
"How did he just pull off the triple nozzle?"
"What kind of luck is this?"
"This is impossible!"
Based on what the crowd was saying, it was clear that there was some kind of important move that had been played. But for us that didn’t really understand much about the game, it wasn’t as if we understood exactly what happened.
All we knew was that there was some kind of impressive play that was made.
Though I certainly had a better understanding than the prime minister since this game was one of the minigames from when this world was a game. This was a card game that had been invented by the programmers of this game.
When we first started observing, the prime minister didn’t seem that interested.
But after sitting there for a while, it seemed like his expression changed.
It wasn’t that he was interested in the game itself, it was more that he was interested in one of the people that was playing this game.
"This is..." The prime minister said all of a sudden without actually finishing his sentence.
But even without finishing his sentence, I already knew what he was talking about.
After all, it was hard to hide their talent when they were this brilliant.
It was the one person that everyone had been talking about the entire time.
"It’s up to you to change his interest." I said with a faint smile.
The prime minister narrowed his eyes to look at me when I said this, but I didn’t say anything else after that. After all, that was all that I needed to say.
With his sharp eyes, it was impossible for him to miss this.
The one that we were talking about was a young man named Timothy who was currently at the playing table.
The way that he played didn’t seem that special, but he was absolutely unstoppable.
It was all because he played in a way that seemed like he predicted every move from his opponent. This kind of play could only be possible with advanced intelligence that could see through his opponents.
This kind of genius was using his brain to play a card game like this...
But that was because he was obsessed with the card game instead of wanting to make something of himself.
Or at least that was his setting when this world was still a game.
To recruit this hero unit, one had to convince him to switch his interest to something else.
It was quite the arduous quest, but it was a quest that could be done.
Instead of doing this quest myself, I was handing this quest over to the prime minister.
It could even be said that I had hosted this one tournament just to bring in this one young man.
The way that the prime minister looked at me after I said this made it seem like he was interrogating me.
I could guess what he was thinking since this name hadn’t been on the list of people that we were supposed to recruit. Though I knew that he wouldn’t have believed me if I did put this name on the list.
This was the kind of talent where seeing was believing and I had to show him or else he wouldn’t have believed me.
In the end, the prime minister said with a sigh, "I’ll do what I can, but this one is certainly a challenge."
I wasn’t actually worried since I could see the look in his eyes.
It was clear that the prime minister was up to the challenge, so I didn’t bother remaining here any longer.
Instead, I stood up and patted him on the shoulder before saying, "I’ll be heading somewhere with Shadow One now."
The way that he looked at me was as if he was saying, "Where are you going with her?"
It was almost like I was stealing his girlfriend.
