The raffle was over and the tournament was going steadily. In the first commemorative match to decorate the start of the tournament, the development continues as much as expected, when Wheelel brilliantly demotes the 13th-ranked student to advance to Game 2, and the next match is also won by the top performers. He was currently in the middle of a match between fifth place Therese and ninth place students, the next of which was Chinatsu's turn.

If it were, the players who plan to play the next game would be ready near the stage. However, Chinatsu at the time was slightly away from the school yard, which was the venue, and hid himself behind the college building. Why is she here?

(Master, I don't know yet...... it's time to go, I'm going to be late for the game......)

For the answer was called by a super beautiful master. Chinatsu was abruptly called to Nel and came behind this unpopular school building. Of course, the option of exercising the veto has been completely wiped out of Chinatsu.

"Please wait. Somebody didn't put it on you, did they?

"... it's okay. I came with caution because I had such instructions on a note that was in my pocket at some point"

Thousand Natsu responded calmly, slightly surprised, to Nel, who appeared behind him without a sound. No matter what happens, a normal mind, stability and peace in your heart! Her mentality, worried and patient over the past few days with words like the catchphrase that will be written on the election poster, seems to have grown once again.

"So, and... Captain Nell, what's the sudden matter?

"I'm relieving myself of this title for a good reason and enjoying a short break. Most of the college is noticeably popped by people, and hang out a little bit. And I came here to compliment Chinatsu."

Nell smiled creepily. It was a lumpy smile.

"Praise me? Um, I haven't played a game yet..."

"No, no, it's a tournament combination! You pulled a whale in a really good position!

"Good position, is it?

"Yes! Until you hit Harna in the finals, you're where you can fight Therese like the chief candidate Wheelel, half Derris' apprentice, right? If we let those guys down and beat Harna too, there's no more dust to lose that Derris can say! Even if there is, I'll push you later! You're a real apprentice now, Chinatsu!

………

Hugged by Nell, Chinatsu's face sinks into his busty chest. Even if you won't be able to breathe for a moment, calmly secure an oxygen passage while resisting the feeling of bliss, preventing suffocation.

If you go with that theory, aren't you going to be a disciple over there yourself begging Derris to teach you a good percentage? Thousand Natsu thought so in his head, but never put it to words. The intelligent Chinatsu, who has come through the hell of this world in numerous training grounds, has increased his ability to perceive danger to a tremendous level. There was no such thing as understanding the good and the bad and perceiving the air to this extent.

"Hey, maybe it's time. Chinatsu, do you know who's next in the game?

"Ah, yes. She's the third-largest female student, and her name is Kara."

"Third place. Perhaps it's just right for shoulder habit. The opponent of the earlier qualifying round was too cluttered, and let's hope for some. Well, I'll be back in the guest room. Good luck!

Copy that, sir.

As when he came, Nel didn't let Chinatsu's five senses feel anything, and disappeared as if he had not been there from the beginning.

(I think I'm a lot stronger too, but I realize the strength of my master enough to be strong...)

When Chinatsu confirmed that Nel was completely gone, he took a short sigh before heading to the match venue.

"Oh ho-ho!"

Game three ends with Therese's victory, and the venue is wrapped in cheer. Therese walking off the stage with a high laugh was making her mysteriously popular.

"No, I can't see the fight when that kid comes out"

"Um, it's a seemingly plain battle of protectors. The atmosphere is dazzling even though it's solid."

I want one in the workplace, kanfull drug presence. That seems to be her assessment. Yuna and Chinatsu have also received enough attention, but when did Therese get more attention than that?

"It's time to start the game. In Game 4, Kara Ill and Chinatsu Roxai will be asked to move to the stage."

"Oops, the next game also needs attention: the mysterious girl who instantly killed the fifteenth place boy and the talented woman who is sitting third in the Golden Generation. I just have a feeling it's gonna be a big fight."

"Totally, this facial rash is a luxury in World War One."

With such voices mixed in, Kara, who was preparing for the game, was about to go up the aisle to the stage.

(The woman and maid from earlier, I felt the power not to be involved and immediately left, but I guess I still care. I contacted the operation...... oh, already! Even though we're going to the game, it's just an extra thought. Concentrate!)

It was Kara who still cared about one thing with the knife, but first the game switches priorities and feelings. If you look forward, the brunette girl, Chinatsu, had already finished her preparations by matching her toes to the starting line of the match.

(I don't know if you can guess, but Dry's prediction was that you were talking about a wind wizard. Add to your physical abilities and speed up with the aid of wind. Thinking about it makes that common sense breaking speed somewhat convincing too...)

Next, Kara gazes at Chinatsu's wand. It was a simple wooden wand, elongated compared to a common wand. I have a strong impression that there are treasure balls on the head of the wand, or that I just scraped the tree clean and rod-shaped without any of those embellishments. To put it well, there's no waste, to put it badly, it seems cheap. That's what it looks like.

In contrast, Kara's wand was brilliant. Adding colorful jewels that accumulate abundant magic, the underlying wand is also coated in purple. It is entirely due to Kara's taste that the colors are bizarre, but such fine colors also dictate the condition of the operator, and many wizards may detain them.

"Hey, do you know a fool with gray hair or a maid with silver hair?

"... No, I don't know, what's that?

"Yeah, I just asked somehow. Never mind."

Both are Thousand Natsu who probably had the idea, but I feel the troublesome air and pass by acting unknowingly. It was to sum up my thoughts in my head to keep an eye out when the game was over, thinking that I would have answered honestly if the person I was asking was Yona.

"And you, you used wind magic in the qualifying round? You were fast enough, weren't you?

"I'm sorry, but I can't answer questions about the skills I'm seeing."

"Hmm, zahn. But, if I did, wouldn't this game be like earlier? I'm, like, the best wind magic expert in college, so to speak, a proprietary patent. Wind magic won't beat you, will it?

"Ha... the rabbit is also a horn, thank you"

Thousand Natsu, who had never touched the wind magic, returned a reply, bowed to Pecori and separated the conversation. He decided that it would be no good to continue the conversation in a completely exploratory manner. Besides, I also wanted to recall Nell's words, my master, before the game.

(The master said, this kid in third place is just right for shoulder habits. It means being stuck and getting used to your shoulders enough in this game. That's how hard it is to beat Yoona without getting my gear to the top by the finals. I see, it makes sense. But I guess it goes against the spirit of Kendo, who can do everything in his power to cross swords with his opponent... at least make sure that minimum courtesy is indispensable)

Shortly before the start of the game, Chinatsu opens his mouth looking into Kara's eyes.

"Mr. Kara."

"Hmm?"

"This game, I think, will be a terrible battle to undermine your dignity. I'm sorry."

Chinatsu bowed his head deeply and apologized.
