In the end, Asta, Noelle, Magna, and Luck decided to participate in the next Top Hundred Combat Power Tournament.
This surprised Yami-hime.
Her original intention had been to have Yami Sukehiro use it as a goal and spend the intervening time properly studying Swordsmanship at Swordmaster Hall.
Fortunately, although he would not be participating in the "Top 100 Tournament,"
he decided that after registering with the Adventurers Guild and establishing the Black Bulls, he would return here and raise his Swordsmanship to the level of a swordsman alongside Asta.
Once the Top Hundred Combat Power Tournament was over, he would officially become an adventurer and live freely with everyone else.
After leaving Swordmaster Hall,
Charmy and Asta eagerly returned to Ichiraku Ramen and told Uncle Teuchi that they wanted to challenge the Glutton's Banquet rankings.
Fortunately, it was no longer mealtime, so there were not that many customers.
Under the watchful eyes of a crowd, the two lowered their heads and began wolfing down steaming bowls of ramen.
Unfortunately, although Asta had a decent appetite, he clearly was not at the level of a glutton.
After barely finishing his twenty-seventh bowl, he could not eat another bite.
That number definitely would not get him into the top ten.
Charmy, on the other hand, used her Food Magic, Glutton's Banquet, to devour eighty-two bowls of ramen in her tall form.
Only when her magic power was so abundant it could not increase any further did she finally put down her chopsticks beneath everyone's dumbfounded gazes.
She directly surpassed Hashirama Senju's record of sixty-three bowls and claimed the top spot in one stroke!
Meanwhile,
amid the vast White Sea directly above Reverse Mountain,
the headquarters of the Mage Association, the Magic Council, had fallen into an unusually tense and oppressive atmosphere.
