Chapter 287 < Psychic Wars - Physical Strength Championship (9) >
Blion prepared a total of six Psyker for this Physical Strength Championship.
Perhaps some of you are wondering, “Why six?” upon hearing this.
The World Championship starts from the Round of 32, so there are a total of five matches: Round of 32, Round of 16, Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and the Finals.
Even if they used one for each match, one would still be left over.
So, why bother preparing six?
To use as a spare?
No.
The reason Blion prepared one more Psyker is because this tournament is the ‘World Championship.’
A large-scale event match broadcasted not just in one country, but worldwide!
In other words, the Psyker appearing here can make an impression on Psychic Wars fans around the world even before their official release.
Therefore, Blion prepared one additional Psyker and intended to use different Psyker for the first and second matches from the Semifinals onwards.
Fortunately, they had a plausible excuse called the World Championship, so the decision was easily made.
Since the Semifinals would use different Psyker, Khan and Dr. Hunz, who would be playing in the second match, could also watch the matches, but whatever.
Thus, the Psyker used in the first Semifinal match between Dohyun and Vlad was Blion’s fourth prepared Psyker, ‘Wave Mage.’
“If you think about it, ‘Wave Mage’ is the first mage Psyker to appear in this tournament, right?”
“That’s right. In the Round of 32, it was the melee dealer ‘Weapon Master,’ in the Round of 16, it was the melee warrior ‘Shadow Bringer,’ and in the Quarterfinals, it was the ranged dealer ‘Pathfinder,’ so this is the first time we’re seeing a mage type.”
