"Sure enough, you can only use dung beetles." Truth Ya said. It's been a month since the rat was rescued that day.

"That's so common." Jue objected.

"No matter which class first came up with this idea, the direction of the ball is not certain."

We looked at the large clay block on the table, and the discussion became more and more lively.

"So, how about making a big ring and getting the ball stuck in the middle? That way, you can move forward by spinning the wheels and you can control the direction of the ball, right? ”

Morning Ji sat on the table, shaking his legs and said. Although it was a proposal that came up with a flash of inspiration, it was surprisingly a good idea.

"What if the wheels aren't strong enough on the way? It's possible for the ball to roll through the middle. ”

Jue is nitpicking again. Just when the early season pouted and wanted to refute unconvinced, he instantly raised a more important question.

"It's not easy to keep the wheels in contact with the ground and spinning, even if it's just a little floating, it's a foul."

“…… That's right. "I had to give up obediently in the early season.

"No matter how you think about it, there's no progress. Why don't you try to cut the clods of dirt first? In this way, you can get a rough idea of the weight of the clay that the putter needs. ”

At Maria's proposal, he first envisioned making half of the clay into a pusher and the remaining half into an attacker, so he cut the clod of clay in half.

"Is that all?" I was a little disappointed.

"How much does the ball weigh?" Hearing Truth's question, he instantly crossed his arms and thought about it.

"It was made of marble, and it weighed more than 10 kilograms."

"Our clay is about that heavy, which means that the putter should be about half the weight of the ball." Jue muttered.

"But if the clay is fired or dried, it will be a lot lighter, right?"

"That's right! So the final putter is about one-third the weight of the ball. ”

This time, I instantly agreed with the opinion of the early season, and it was clear that everyone was in trouble, but the early season was alone with a smile. Yuan Tianhua looked at it meaningfully from the side.

"Then you have to push the ball from behind." Shou grunted.

"We really came full circle."

The Ball Carrying Tournament is scheduled to take place in five days. In other words, each half has to decide on a basic strategy in just five days, then make a attacker and a defender out of a specified weight of clay, and finally practice it repeatedly.

Here are the rules of the ball moving competition. The mover must roll a marble ball in a certain field and move it into the hole at the end to score a score. The disruptor stops the mover. Matches are played alternately over a ten-minute period, and if both teams score one point each, the class with the shortest time taken counts as a winner. If neither team scores, both teams move and nuisance at the same time, and the team that scores first wins.

Only mana is allowed in competition, and there are very strict restrictions. Never use mana directly on the ball and the field. The only pieces that can be manipulated are the pieces made from the clay, that is, the attacker and the pusher. The corresponding obstructor can only manipulate the keeper. It is also strictly forbidden to float from the field. Not only is it much easier to push the ball in mid-air, but it's no different from pushing the ball itself.

The 10-metre-long and two-metre-wide putting pitch in the school's inner courtyard is covered with fine sand and in some places is covered with obstacles such as weeds, making it more difficult for the pusher to push the ball straight forward and requiring a high level of concentration. The location of the hole at the end of the hole is chosen by the disruptive party, and any other interference with the site - such as setting traps, piling up small hills, etc. - is absolutely prohibited.

In addition, the shape and number of pieces can be customized within the weight limit, but if there are too many pieces, it will be more difficult to control.

The most important prohibition is not to attack the opposing putter directly. Otherwise, the pusher is likely to be destroyed at the beginning of the attack by the opposing goalkeeper, and the game cannot be played. However, only one pusher has this privilege, so if there is more than one petter, the other putters will face a furious attack. So there is usually only one putter in any class.

"So, what shape is better for a putter?" Instantaneously said. Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. After all, he is the only one who can freely deform the clay blocks in response to such unreasonable requests as "not that" and "ah, not this" from these bear children. The final shape was a short, wide cone, and the bottom was a shallow V-shaped shape like the bottom of a boat in order to glide on the field. The two arms that control the left and right movement of the ball are the two arms that extend out at a 120-degree angle from the front. As a result, the putter feels like a small man with his arms stretched forward.

"That's pretty good. It's simple, but it looks amazing. Truth Ya commented.

"Then it's the attacker's turn. In a moment you can concentrate on being the putter and we'll do the rest. "I don't know when I became the one who presided over the discussion.

"How's your discussion going?" Endo-sensei appeared with a smile. His beard and hair were joined together, as if to trim the round face.

"It took a lot of time to decide what the putter would look like." As if showing off, I showed the teacher the model I had just made.

"Oh. It's been done like this in such a short time. ”

"Hmm. We've decided to harden the model as it is. ”

"Who controls the putter?"

"Instantly."

"Sure enough." Endo-sensei nodded heavily.

"Then here's the attacker. Except for the moment, the four of you have to share it well! ”

"Yes!" Everyone answered with confidence.

After a straightforward discussion, they made 6 attackers. Instantaneously operate the pusher and one of the attackers, and the rest of the people operate one by one.

At this time, no matter who it was, there was no idea that there was another member of the class in their minds.

The opponent in the first round is Class 5. It's pretty good to sign it. The third class with the highest completion of the wind chess pieces is the undisputed seed player, and the first class where Yuan Tianhua is located will have a fierce confrontation with the cunning second class.

After the guessing session, the first class is the ball mover. Because it was the first battle, several people were very nervous in the early season, and Yuan Tianhua seemed to have returned to a somewhat half-dead appearance in reality, because it was so boring. But in order to exercise the magic power, I still lifted my spirits.

Glancing at the goalkeeper configuration of Class 5. There are a total of six wall-shaped goalkeepers, and they move slightly from side to side as if to seal off the passage of the first class.

The six of them formed a circle, each chanting a mantra in his heart.

"It's really the most ordinary strategy." Truth whispered happily.

"It won't even take thirty seconds to do that." Satoru smiled as if he had won.

"Break through the middle." Convey the strategy to everyone in a whisper.

"You can go from there for such a defense, and the middle of the field is the flattest."

As soon as the pushers and attackers of Yuan Tianhua appeared on the stage, the faces of the fifth class players showed wavering expressions at that time.

The pusher, who raises his arm, slowly slides behind the ball and takes a stance. After that, the six attackers spread out, three in a triangle in front of the ball, and the other two defended the flanks of the ball.

The three attackers of the Vanguard are wide triangular pyramids with the tips facing forward, and the middle ridge is in contact with the ground, looking much like paper airplanes. The two covering flanks are oblate cylinders with dense protrusions on the surface. These protrusions are actually useless, but they can appear to be very strong.

"Fair play, friendship first, competition second. Strive to work together and stay the course. ”

The Sun King solemnly read the slogan, after which the whistle was blown to announce the start of the game.

The three attackers in the lead slowly moved forward, and the pushers began to slowly increase their strength behind them, but the heavy stone ball remained motionless. Although just getting the ball rolling is already a lot of work. If the operator is in a hurry and uses too much force, it is likely to cause the putter to break. However, how could an instant make such a low-level mistake?

The six defenders of the opposing side didn't even have the courage to stand up, as if they were suppressed by the aura here, they just swayed left and right in place.

Moved. The ball slowly rolled up and forward. The ball rumbled, picked up speed, and swooped towards the finish, with the Vanguard's three attackers echoing it, concentrating in the middle to break through.

The fifth squad, which finally came to its senses, wanted to concentrate its defensive forces, but it was no longer able to catch up. Talking and laughing, the tree is in ashes, and that's what I feel like. The vanguard broke through the defenders of the opponent's ball-bearers, and crushed them. Immediately, the marble ball roared over the place. I controlled the left winger, but I only had a split second in contact with the opposition.

The defense line has been broken through, and the fifth squad is helpless. The marble ball flew straight to the finish line, making a painful sound and falling into the hole. The whole journey lasted only twenty-six seconds, which was shorter than the most optimistic people had expected.
