An invitation has arrived for the Great Martial Arts Tournament in the Mercenary State of Zem. Its grand prize? A single wish. Having previously broken off diplomatic relations with the Zem, though, Souma had no intention of responding—that is, until he received reports that the daughter of the former General of the Army will be participating?! Her father, Georg Carmine, was disposed of as a traitor following the rebellion. Should she win and wish for revenge, that might lead to an all-out war against the Kingdom! Looking to probe her intentions, Souma sets out for the Military State. There, he meets the King of Zem, who he learns is equally in the dark regarding what she has planned. Volume twelve of the revolutionary administration fantasy series starts now!
