The narrator tells the young man that he's invited him to participate in a tournament. The young man is excited, but he doesn't know how to take the bait. The narrator explains that the tournament is a gamble, but that green hands like him aren't going to attract the attention of the spectators. He tells the man to go in and take his number plate. He's going to bet on the failure of one of the rookies, and he'll make the other rookies lose. He also tells him that since he is a member of a guild, he has to go to the tournament even if he is alone. He explains that a guild match is like a wrestling match, where you have to fight three opponents in a row. You can wipe it out, he says, but you're too tired to do so. He says that he can arrange someone to take him to the arena, where he can fight the next opponent. He feels like he is on a wrestling show, but the narrator points out that there are still a lot of matches to be played before the tournament ends.
