Killed by Speed? (Moon Ticket Request)
GGO, SBC Glocken.
At the northern end of the main avenue running through the center of Glocken City's streets, the plaza in front of the Presidential Palace's tower was usually a deserted area. Today, however, it was packed with countless players.
The players were all holding drinks and food, celebrating to their hearts' content. Gunshots even rang out from time to time.

People watched the countdown and cheered with incomparable excitement.

"I think so too. Anfeng."
"After all, the champion of the previous BoB Tournament suddenly went silent this time and didn't even participate in the BoB Tournament."
"And if the champion doesn't participate, then the runner-up winning the championship is only natural, right?"
"No, have you forgotten the 'Mage'?"
"That monster is participating this time."
"That's true."
"I wonder if Anfeng can beat that monster."
"I doubt it."
The players enthusiastically discussed topics like that.

Before every BoB Tournament began, a betting pool organized by the operating company would appear in GGO, allowing players to bet on the contestants they favored. Like
