Norlangarth North Area Swordsmanship Competition



The 'Zakkaria Sword Arts Tournament (officially known as Norlangarth North Area Swordmanship competition) is a sword competition which is held every year on August 28 in the town of Zakkaria.

The tournament consisting of two blocks in which the contestants are assigned to compete. It's held in two parts, in the first part the contestants must execute 10 predetermined movements in order, and are evaluated by judges, who will select the 8 bests from each group. The second round consists of elimination battles until only one contestant from each group remains.

The winners from each block will be selected to enter the Sword Arts Academy and further become Zakkarian Guards.

Originally, the two winners would fight, but since those fights became so heated that there was a risk of harming others the finals were no longer held.
