Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"As soon as I get back, I'm not sure I'm going to have to take part in Master Atlas's contest or anything..."

That afternoon. When Eve returned from the pancake shop to the royal castle facility with a hock-face, she was forced to remain in the contest for Atlas. Because everyone was waiting for Eve. women's pride, such as playing games instead of the last time winner Eve (?) didn't allow it. It goes without saying that the right to descend this battle to the last champion cannot be recognized.

"Isn't that an adventure? Miss Eve, the concubine doesn't even know what it is."

"Could Master Teresa join us?

"Mm-hmm. They can choose when they win, right? Ownership of Atlas or concubine..."

"Dear Teresa, you may have been a merchant..."

"No, you're going to be in the fight. Because if the concubine wins, anyone who participates in the battle will be granted ownership for a month to come, to the extent that it does not violate public order.

"Oh, my God, that's just Teresa's fault."

"What, don't guide me. Even if the concubine wins, she won't claim ownership of Miss Eve."

"... So, whose ownership is Master Teresa going to claim?

"... concubine herself?

"It could be barren..."

Eve and Teresa, who were having such an exchange, were the athletic fields in the basement of the Royal Castle largely facility. It is that place where the brave Leonardo and King Endelusia were joyfully encouraged to arch in the early morning.

Now after noon, although the two of them had already finished their auditions, they were recessed as if each place on the athletic field had been decided by some great force... There appeared to be about two of them who made rough ground. They were accustomed to the ground, and since they knew what was going to be done here from now on, they had a desperate look on their face somewhere and they seemed to question what they were doing now.... even if it were even, I was wondering if it would soon be full of craters.

The biggest reason I made them think so was Lucia's presence. At a time when she was on the athletic field and was planning to play some kind of game, there was no way that the athletic field would be safe.

Lucia noticed her gaze and tilted her neck as two people who thought so were turning their resentful gaze toward Lucia.

"... yeah? What can I do for you?

"No, anything..."

"Nothing..."

"Hmm. Weird braves"

That's what I'm saying, I'm not just saying prep exercise, Lucia, I'm going on an aerial stretch. At that point, a tremendous amount of magic was leaking out of her, and that alone seemed to foresee the coming of a debilitating future. The Gessoliface of the old and new braves spoken to by her is proof of this.

… but. Though Lucia was warming her body, she had one, fatal problem.

"So I'm going to tell you the rules ~?

In the first place, we didn't know if it was going to be an athletic battle.

Cortex opens his mouth about the contents of the battle.

"Win or lose is Game 3. So I'm going to add up to the points I've earned to determine my wins and losses."

Even if Cortex said so, because he had no objection to the members who were on the spot - Lucia, Teresa, Silanui, Daria, and Eve - Cortex began to explain the specific contents of the battle.

"The first round is an obstacle race. I will fill this athletic field with craters, so you all run in it. 400 meters would be enough."

"".................. "Slow down.

"The second round, I'm going to take an excerpt of some of the questions from the classes I went to while I was in the past era to test them. It is an issue that can be easily solved even by Master Silanui, who did not go in the past. Right ~... for now around the base of factorization and calculus ~ --"

"Um, I don't know..."

"-- that's a joke, and I think I'm going to give you about five questions about the general common sense test. It's Atlas that makes the problem, so I don't know what will come up either ~?

"I haven't been helpless again... Well, I don't mind to that extent..."

"And last. Because of this, we have all the training equipment here, so I'm going to work with you guys. However, you shouldn't use magic other than physical enhancement ~? Because only Lucia will be in your absolute favor."

"Oh well...... Because of this, Teresa tried out some new magic, but it's going to be hard."

"That, even if you don't bother to try now, don't you always try it?

"... it will be the contents of the battle that feels like, no objection ~?

Not only did Cortex say it was a final confirmation, but he asked those who were there. Her proposal seemed to have some dissatisfaction with the details, but it was generally acceptable, and there seemed to be no major disagreement with this.

And --,

"Then it's quick, but it's an obstacle race! Dodd Dodd Dodd ~ n"

Dogo, go, go, go!!

—— A large crater worn on the athletic field by the fire magic unleashed by Cortex. Every one of them is far bigger than what was made by the archeology of the brave men... Around two men, who were even on the ground of the athletic field, seemed to have a desperate look on their face for multiple reasons.

Thus began the first round of the Battle for Atlas.
