Laplace, the venue of the Magister Comprehensive Skill Tournament, will stage the quarterfinals today, and now the first and second halls are full. For the next rookie battle, the audience wants to see it and see where this group of imps can go on this adult stage.

"Alyssa, even if it's you, I'm not going to release water. ”

"Haha...... I hope you'll show mercy. ”

The first arena is a duel between Signor and Alyssa, two mages who also wield fire as weapons, one is a knight of the ancient Belkaryu and the other is a supernova Meade-style mage. The difference in experience and the difference in the wizard faction will tell at a glance which of the two has the greater chance of winning, but the audience is still waiting for what the young Magister Alyssa will struggle.

[The competition is about to start, please enter the preparation area.] 】

"I will fight you in the name of a knight. ”

"If you don't dislike me, it's good if my strength is poor......"

Alyssa walked into the preparation circle with a nervous mood, and it didn't take long for teleportation and virtual space to be generated.

When Alyssa opened her eyes again, her vision was blue, and the clear sky like a lake was the scene in Alyssa's eyes.

"The rest of the ground is floating Iwayama Island, which feels like the universe. ”

Alyssa's mind is the Gundam series that has been spread on the earth, and she can't tell which side is up and which side is below, giving a very cosmic feeling.

The only thing to be thankful for is that there is no lack of oxygen and air pressure, otherwise this battle will be much more troublesome.

"Let's get set up, then. ”

Alyssa's feet appeared like a golden red magic circle, and soon like a chain reaction, the same magic circle appeared everywhere, as she said, she was setting up a battlefield that suited her.

◇

"It was completely laid out. ”

Signo looked around in the space where she couldn't tell the difference between the top and the bottom, and she had flown the official distance of 200 meters each.

But I couldn't find it.

What Signor thought was the right solution turned out to be a disguise, and then he fell into a situation of complete disorientation.

Exploration magic doesn't work, her sense of direction doesn't work at all, and she's like a blind person now.

"It's completely passive. ”

Like a senior who happily watched her juniors grow up, she was now happier to see her opponents stronger than she was in a difficult situation.

It's just that Signor doesn't intend to be at the mercy of his opponent at all, it's useless to explore, and Signo himself is not good at wide-area magic, and there is only one way left.

The simplest, or most stupid, way to do this is to fly around the battlefield and capture Alyssa's location with the naked eye. Signor was convinced that with their magic and skill differences, she would be able to see through each other's disguises if she approached Alyssa.

Without hesitation, Signo began her high-speed flight, and a peach-colored meteor streaked across the seemingly endless sky.

The endless sky and the rocks floating in the sky were all peeped at by her.

"Not in the east. ”

As she flew, Signor dropped a tiny mana shell and left a spell on it as a reminder of what area had been searched, and following this repeated action, she soon searched in both directions.

"Looks like hide and seek is over. ”

Signor calculated her magic and stamina a little and was about to move forward again, when she suddenly felt hostile. With years of combat experience, she easily pinched the position where the hostility was coming, and she turned and drew her sword and swung it sideways.

Rebandi neatly split the orange-red mana bullet in two, while the other two struck at the same time, passing by Signor's waist and cheek.

"Boom!"

Two magic arrays that they thought were missing hit the floating rocks, but something unexpected happened.

A meteor shower erupted from the rocks, and they converged on Signo like a spider's web.

"Rebandi – Long Snake Mode!"

Transforming from a long sword form into a sword-like sword with several snake bells, the whip-like blade is now dancing.

"Serpent's Fang!"

Rebandi crisscrossed the air weaving a small cage, which was commonly used to restrain enemies and crush opponents, and now played the role of a square wall.

Some of the magic bullets smashed on the blade, while others were cut off directly by the blade. Signor continued to slash the magic projectiles, and not even a single shot could get past the absolute defenses woven by Rebandi.

The crowd outside the arena cheered for Signo's moves, and the orthodox Belka-style knights revealed their skills on the stage that lived up to the name of "knight".

"Then it's time to come out and face to face Elisa!"

After sweeping the bullet away, Signor swung her sword at the spot where she had already noticed that she was deliberately hiding her magical reaction.

This time the sword did not swing superfluously, but only pierced the enemy in diameter, and the fragile rock was pierced by Rebandi, but there was no Alyssa there.

"What is this!?"

Signo noticed that something seemed to be entangled in the Lebandi behind the rock, and when she felt bad, she wanted to withdraw her sword in an instant, but she couldn't.

The tiny orange-red magic silk connected the blade to the rocks that had turned into a group of rubble, and at the same time, the surrounding rocks exploded together and added a few more layers of silk to the blade, so that Signo could not withdraw his sword for a moment.

"It's a winner!"

At this time, Signor could hear Alyssa's loud voice, and she looked up to see Alyssa's sword pattern falling with the Eye of Fire held aloft.

Flames about three meters long and two meters wide stretched out from the blade, and it was believed that this sword would definitely inflict no light injuries on Signor.

"Humph!"

Signor alternated the order of priority, retracting the order in which he drew his sword and extending his free left hand to build a shield.

Belka's triangular shield was in front of Signo, and in less than a second, Elisa's sword collided, a blow that would have a good chance of losing if Signo couldn't hold it.

Signor also spared no effort to prepare for this blow, and then ...... She was stunned.

The sword that was originally as imposing as a rainbow actually passed through his shield, either slashed or penetrated.

[No! It's an illusion. 】

Realizing this, Signor immediately redirected Alyssa's position, and soon she spotted a golden glow.

"Burning Eye!"

Alyssa fired this magic cannon twelve meters away from Signo, and the long-range cluster magic cannon was the artillery she had been using since she set up the field, and she had even compressed her magic power to a terrifying point in order to hide her breath.

Signor could never have guessed that Alyssa would be able to reach this point in just two and a half months after becoming a magister, but the golden magic cannon that came directly was not to be underestimated.

But this is not something that Signor can't avoid, as long as she makes a small sacrifice.

Let go of the entangled sword.

Signo just made a gesture and turned around and dodged the shot by a fraction of a second, but that was exactly what Alyssa wanted.

"Huh!?"

Now is the best time for Alyssa to pursue Signor, who has already hidden behind the cannon when the cannon fire is fired.

It's just that there are four Elisas who appear in Signaw's eyes, one in front and one on the left and one on the left, and the same Alyssa is all slashed down with a sword and flames.

"Hmph, I've been able to do it so easily. ”

Even though the four figures were full of magical power, Signo could see through who was the real body from his breath, after all, the hostility and momentum exuded by Alyssa herself were like a flood.

Signo guessed that this was Alyssa's laxity after thinking that she didn't have a sword, but she made a move that Alyssa couldn't guess, and Signo picked up the tip of the sword and raised it horizontally to block the sword of her real body.

"What's the matter!"

Just as he was about to show a victorious expression, he found that the remaining three sides with their backs were attacked.

"All three are real?"

Signo looked at Elisa with a frown, Elisa smiled and clenched her sword to increase her strength, she kept pushing Signo's whole person back, and when she was about to hit the pumice stone, she retreated.

"Eye of Fire Firearms Mode. ”

Alyssa turned her sword into a spear and pointed it at Signor, who was holding the tip of the sword.

"Looks like I lost. ”

Signor looked at the falling Leibandi in the distance and the area surrounded by pumice stones, and she already realized that the pumice stones around it were bombs that had been processed by Elisa.

"That's right, it's gone. ”

Elisa Pi looked at Signo with a smile, in fact, she was very nervous during the whole battle, and if any part of the battle was seen through, she would obviously turn into a loser all at once.

She's going to win a head-to-head duel with Signaw, at least not now.

"If I struggle a little more, I think it will get you a little bit of trouble. ”

Even in this scene, Signor did not lose her realm of squeezing water, although she had just fallen into Elisa's trap one after another, but all of this was caused by her subconscious contempt for Elisa, a fledgling magister.

"That'...... It will be a hassle indeed. ”

Alyssa began to easily imagine Signo in a desperate situation, trying to rip off the hind legs of his enemies and fall into hell together. The thought alone made her shudder, and she was glad that it was a game and not a real tear.

"It's too ugly for you to be so embarrassed as a senior, so I'll surrender, after all, you still have a game ahead. ”

"Truly saved. ”

Alyssa let out a sigh of relief, and then she watched as Signor voluntarily teleported out of the playing field to show that she had abstained.

"Ah...... I feel that the operation and magic compression of the phantom are going to be educated by the teacher again, and the next class is not good. ”

Alyssa smiled wryly at the auditorium beyond the endless void, and at the same time she began to think about her friends who faced the same ancient Belka knights as her.

"Suzuka should be fine......
