Start By Becoming A Mangaka

Yuuki could see some people trying to mock Nogi, but Nogi only put a disdainful expression on his face to respond to them.

When he joined this tournament, of course, he had heard why Nogi was able to initiate this tournament.

Nogi had decided to bet all of his fortunes into this tournament in exchange for a chance to win the seat of the leader of the Kengan Association.

Yuuki didn't understand what made him want to become the leader of this association this much, but in the end, he didn't think too much about it.

Metsudo stood up in front of everyone and said, "Are you ready?"

!!!!

"We'll now determine the tournament matchup!"

Yuuki looked at Metsudo Grandpa and thought that this old man was as lively as ever. He might not be surprised if this old man was still very active on the bed to have intercourse with a woman.

"So we'll be using this," Metsudo said and pointed at the machine which was being brought by his bodyguards.

Everyone saw a machine that was similar to the shape of the old music playing box with nine digits box numbers.

"What's that machine?"

"Hehehe, it'll be easier if I give you a demonstration." Metsudo pressed the round button on the machine and said, "First, you push the button." Then suddenly the digits on the box started to spin. "Then the digits start spinning. These digits go up to the hundreds of millions of places, each digit rotates at different speeds. Press the button and it stops spinning immediately."

411654726.

That was the number that was shown on the machine.

"Well, that's all about it. Each of you is going to operate the machine and the one with the highest number can choose their spots in the tournament first," Metsudo said.

Everyone started to think, but suddenly the CEO of United Clothing started to complain.

"Wait a minute! You're the one who has brought that machine, right? How can we know that you're not cheating!"

"That's impossible. The machine is going up to hundreds of millions of places, which allows for a total of a billion permutations," the petite woman said. Her name is Hiyama Shunka and she is the CEO of Wakasa Life Insurance.

"No, I wouldn't be sure."

"Yeah, there is a chance that someone is going to use the remote control."

"No, no, no, I don't think that you need to worry about that. Take a look at your cellphone."

Yuuki looked at his cellphone and saw that it had lost its signal. "Jamming?"

"That's right, there is a jamming device in this place."

"Even if he can't use a wireless device, it erases his chance to cheat on this occasion."

Metudo sighed, looking at everyone who was very paranoid. "Hoh, hoh, hoh, I have figured that you'll go to say that." Then suddenly there was a huge screen that appeared behind him.

Everyone looked at the screen and saw that it was a tournament bracket. However, there was something that surprised them.

"Dainippon bank is on the last match of the first round!"

"I know that you're not fools. I think that you have already realized that whichever slot that you're going to choose is going to make little difference." Metsudo pointed to his company's spot on the screen for the tournament and said, "What matters the most is how you're going to avoid the strongest fighter "Fang of Metsudo", correct?" He put in his strong momentum and said, "I have gone through making these arrangements. So quit gripping and get over it!"

"......"

No one said anything again when they heard it. They knew that Metsudo was going to fight in the end and they would do anything to stay away from him.

"Now, who is going to try first?" Metsudo looked around.

"Me! Me! Me!" Rihito raised his hand excitedly.

"You don't want to do the lottery first?" Togawa asked.

"As long as your number is big enough, it doesn't really matter what number you're going up to press the machine," Yuuki said.

"That's true." Togawa nodded.

Metsudo smiled at Yuuki who was looking at him then looked at another person. "Let's have the newcomer Yamashita to have a go!"

!!!

Everyone put their attention toward Yamashita.

"Who is that feeble old man?" Togawa asked.

"He is the secret weapon of Nogi Hideki," Yuuki said.

Togo looked at Yuuki with a frown and asked, "Are you sure that he is a secret weapon?"

"Don't underestimate him," Yuuki said.

"If I'm not wrong, his fighter should be fairly strong," Togawa said.

"What number are you going to draw?" Togo asked.

"What do you mean by that question?" Yuuki asked.

"Well, your eyes are very good, right? I wonder if you're able to get any numbers that you want," Togo said.

"........" Yuuki was speechless and said, "Let's just wait."

Yamashita who had tried first got a quite good number for the first time, however, Rihito who had tried after Yamashita got a very bad number.

Everyone tried the machine one by one and the first spot was still Yamashita who had quite a huge number and the CEO of Wakasa Life Insurance next.

Togo and Togawa also got the 3rd and 4th spots respectively.

Yuuki was the last and he walked toward the machine. He could see that everyone was looking at him and wanted to know what number he would draw. He thought for a while and decided to not get first place. He started to press the button and the digits started to spin. He pressed the button and made the first digit stop at nine.

Then the next digit was eight that made everyone surprised and thought that Yuuki might get the first spot from Yamashita.

Yamashita was quite nervous when he thought that his position was being taken, but he sighed in relief when he saw Yuuki had another eight on the next digit.

Then Yuuki kept pressing the button until he stopped at the last digit.

988888888.

That was the number that Yuuki had gotten from the machine.

"......."

"Hohohoho, your eyes are very good, Yuuki," Metsudo said with a laugh.

"Well, I have confidence in my eyes," Yuuki said.

"Then, why not put 999999999?" Metsudo asked.

"Well, it won't be fun if I do that, right?" Yuuki said.

"......"

Metsudo laughed heartily and said, "Yes! Yes! It won't be fun!" He looked at everyone and said, "Let's pick your spot in the tournament!"

Everyone who heard those sentences knew that Yuuki's eyes were very sharp and it was also his strong points. They needed to tell their fighters after they had gone back later.

Yuuki chose his spot after Yamashita and he had chosen the second match in the first round. However, he was quite surprised when the CEO of Wakasa Life Insurance also chose the same spot as him.

"....."

Yuuki looked at this petite woman and suddenly remembered that this woman was with the huge man who had been looking at him in the restaurant yesterday.

"Did you do something to that woman?" Togawa asked.

"No," Yuuki said.

"Then, why does she want to fight you right in the first round?" Togawa asked.

"You're asking me, then who am I going to ask?" Yuuki said helplessly, but he knew that his first opponent should be the fighter of that woman. 'Hiyama Shunka, huh?'
