"Game three, round one! Sin VS Mina, duel begins!
As soon as the voice of the referee echoed into the fighting field, Mina ran toward me.
I saw that. I'll put up a shield, too, to prepare for her attack.
My gear this time is the artifact 'Cross' and the Great Shield of the Necromancer.
The small shield can handle finer movements, but the large shield is more stable to counter the great sword of Mina.
And the current Mina is not wearing an ability jammer.
This is probably because Dr. Hayakawa and the referee decided that I didn't need a handful from my opponent.
So Mina, like World War I, fights with all her genuine strength.
"Meteor" of the Great Sword Duplicate, Mina.
Shall we take a look?
"Ha!"
Mina approached me and waved down the great sword in my right hand.
I don't even have to use a shield for this.
I make that decision and move my body to the left.
"Huh!"
Mina then forced the orbit of the sword she waved down to change, releasing a lateral cut towards me.
Normally, there can be no more rapid orbital changes with the Great Sword.
Moving a high-weight substance against inertia will require a corresponding force.
Yet Mina showed it mildly with her slender arms.
That is an inexplicable event if it is normal.
That means I'm sure to see that Mina's alien (ability) [gravity control] is involved in this.
"Gu!"
Besides, Mina seemed to be increasing gravity the moment she hit the attack, with a huge impact on my arm with a big shield that prevented the Great Sword.
Mina's attack is pretty heavy.
Very level 40. I don't think it's there. It's destructive.
I know it's something that's pressing for necessity, but I guess Mina was able to hunt efficiently because of this.
"Yikes!
And Mina has launched a series of furious attacks on me.
Each attack is light and heavy.
I didn't expect to be able to quickly switch between lightening and weighing things up so far.
Unlike me, Mina uses her powers quite well.
If this is the case, you can say that you have the highest level of strength among middle and high school students.
But I'll go further on.
"Come on!"
I put 'Cross' lightly on her arm, anticipating where Mina's series of attacks had subsided.
Attacks of that magnitude won't do any damage, but the skill of living in a weapon is enough to erode Mina.
"... heh"
Mina flew up to the sky and took a distance the moment my attack hit.
Probably like Darkness Kaiser (false), he would act to try to see if his body had any abnormalities.
So you've been watching my fight.
"... I didn't hear anything in particular about your new armament, but maybe it's equipped with a hell of a cheat capability?
Mina floating in the sky asked me.
I didn't know you'd start hearing the word cheat from her mouth.
We've been poisoned, haven't we?
Doesn't matter.
"Sort of. Maybe he's got the cheat performance Mina imagined."
"Phew."
When she heard my answer, Mina slowly stepped down to the ground with a crease between her eyebrows.
"I mean, yeah, I can't get attacked by you more than once."
Apparently, now you can read roughly what kind of performance my weapon has.
I don't mind because I wasn't originally willing to actively hide it, but when I also have the ability to organize the situation properly here, I have to step up my Mina rating further.
I recognize the woman in front of me as a strong enemy, and I loosen my mouth gently.
"You're really getting stronger. Arm yourselves, judge yourselves, you're the other player."
"Even I'm not a beginner forever. Because people grow up every day."
"Right."
In the sense of growth, it applies to me, not just Mina.
Even my player skills are honed every day.
"I can fight you enough now. If you don't, you're gonna lose."
"No, I don't know about that"
The difference between Mina and her strength may have narrowed, but I'm still ahead of her.
"Come on, Mina. I'll show you there's a top."
"... don't tell me. Then sweeten your words!
Mina, who has been on my provocation, has started attacking again with two great swords.
He exercises restraint with his sword skill ranged move 'Aerial Slash', and Mina comes stuffed for it where I tried to play it with a big shield.
Unlike earlier this time, the big shield is poorly positioned.
The big shield can defend a wide range, on the other hand, it can't swing very big because of its heavy weight.
Did you mean "Aerial Slash" was to guide my big shield?
Nevertheless, that is not a level that cannot be recovered either.
I'll take a few steps back from the scene to keep Mina's attack from being stupid and honest.
In the momentary spare time gained by it, turn the Great Shield that you were using to defend your injury to the Great Sword's defense.
The first blow of the attack by the sword itself is emptied by my lowering, and after the second blow it is completely prevented by the Great Shield.
From Mina, the result was toothache.
"What's up, Mina? Are you to this extent? I haven't had a single attack yet, have I?
".................. ugh!
I added more provocation as I slammed 'Cross' into Mina.
Mina then turns her staring gaze to this side, constantly launching a sharper and heavier attack.
But I play all of her attacks like that, or avoid them, and definitely take advantage of the situation by hitting 'cross'.
You're still blue.
Because it even rides such a mild provocation.
Even though incitement tolerance is another player skill, Mina doesn't seem to have it.
More refinement.
You should be stronger than you are now.
"Stuffed, Mina"
"Ugh..."
Mina's movements visibly worsened after about 10 attacks.
Now you won't even be able to reward me with an arrow.
"Not yet... it's not over yet!
But that prediction was a mistake.
Mina made a huge jump on the spot and fell towards me.
The name of the move is Meteor Slash.
I once saw Mina practicing.
Original ability to gain altitude by lightening yourself with [Gravity Control] and increase your destructive power by weighing yourself in reverse when falling.
However, this has the weakness that it operates greatly and can be easily avoided.
Therefore, the subject must have stopped or blunt feet to use this move.
Did you run for a beating when you used it against me?
……
The moment I thought, my body began to feel a tremendous amount of weight.
That would put me on my knees on the ground and seal my movements.
... Could Mina have braided a technique that allowed [gravitational control] to be applied not only to herself but also to space?
If so, it's very troublesome.
Mina has also used [Gravity Control] to stop enemies and has worked out ideas to ensure that meteor slaughter is hit.
If it is also possible to hold back, it can be said that meteor slaughter is no longer the most powerful sword technique that only Mina can handle.
"Hey!!!
Two great swords ridden by gravity, several times or tens of times, loom from above.
"Grr!!!
The big shield is so heavy now that you can't lift it with one hand.
So I took my hands off the 'cross' and managed to move the big shield with both hands, thus preventing Mina's sword approaching from overhead.
At that time, the shock came across the shield, but I still managed to protect it.
"Not yet!!!
Mina, who wasn't attacked by me, jumped up again without even showing regret.
Are you going to make another attack now?
If you think about it, there's very little time for me to attack Mina.
So Meteor Slash was an all-in-one offensive move?
"... but it's sweet"
But there is still something in this move that can be described as a weakness.
I'll tell you that now, Mina.
I left my big shield behind and waited for Mina to fall with both hands with a 'cross'.
You were surprised at my behavior like that, Mina's expression in the distance was full of surprises.
But there's no way Mina stops the meteor slaughter here, and she starts to lose momentum towards me.
"Huh!!!
"Damn!?
And while I defied the mighty gravity, I unleashed a 'cross' poke at Mina's belly.
My "poking" went into her nostalgia faster than Mina doing the "slashing" motion.
Sure, meteor slaughter is powerful, but it's also an easy move to take a counter like this.
Mina, who can only fall in a straight line, can't avoid my attack.
Just like when Mina once couldn't change track in front of the school building and jumped towards me.
"That's it!
The voice of the referee echoed the arena.
I stand, Mina falls, and I hear the outcome of this game.
"Mina Athlete HP Halved! Hence the winner, Singh!
Mina cut the HP bar by half in total by the counter she got from me and fell on her back.
This happened as a result, but if I hadn't poked earlier in time, I might have had a better fall.
Mina got really strong.
With that in mind I loosen my mouth and offer her my hand.
"... and win the finals properly."
"Oh, of course."
I swore to win the next battle as I held Mina's hand and woke her body up.
That's how I won the semi-finals with Mina and made my way to the finals.
