Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence
Episode 127: Each Challenge (top)
The city of Orna, which held off the opening of the Leirian Magic Games a week later, was busy with numerous people.
They include tourists, merchants targeting tourists, church officials catching illegal merchants, etc., to watch the tournament. Some of them are here to support the delegates participating in the tournament.
But in that crowd, there is no representation of the athletes. That should be the case, too, because the delegates are offering last minute intensive accommodation in the city of Orna and its nearby practice grounds for the tournament by now.
The representatives of the Leirian Magic Games will not be informed by any other school. It prohibits you from gathering information about your opponents beforehand, but also to see the power of how you fight your first opponents.
At the Leirian Magic Games, which magically randomly transfers delegates to special areas in different spaces, we don't know when or where to hit with who. Maybe I can meet up with my buddies right away at the forwarding destination, but vice versa, as soon as they forwarded me, I might bump into the enemy.
At that time, it is one of the flavors of the Leirian Magic Games to see how to cross with the magicians who fight for the first time, how to meet with their peers, and how to adapt to situations other than combat ability.
So when each school goes to the city to procure something, it uses people other than representative athletes to procure it so that the information is not leaked. That's what they call, support members.
However, by daring some of the leading players to witness in the city, some schools make this athlete think he will not be in the tournament.
No matter how many participants' information is not released, participants in last year's competition may already be familiar with their faces, so each school will take action against them.
So in some cases, it can be an intelligence war. Even so, players who reign as if to mock such an intelligence battle were also there last year and so on.
I'm talking about Real, who is now doing one of the thirteen apostles in the Episcopal Church. With that overwhelming power, he showed enough power to render pre-gathered information pointless.
However, because such athletes are rare, each school has invested in gathering information this year.
And the Arsenian School of Magic, whose members are more than half different from last year.
They were as stadiums as a baseball field within the city of Orna, with last-minute enhanced accommodation. All members of the tournament are already there.
"Well, we're gonna start sleeping together today."
Riger, acting dean of the Arsenian School of Magic, looks around at the six leading players gathered at the stadium while saying so.
The representative of the Arsenian School of Magic
Sophomore at Christina-Saya School of Magic
Sophomore at Your-Arunya School of Magic
Lily-Arunya School of Magic Trainee
Serena-Phoenix School of Magic Sophomore
Morna-Tempester School of Magic, third grade
Issi-Absona School of Magic freshman year
A total of six.
"So here's the menu for today...... hey yua, and lily, get away from seiya when you listen to good additions and subtractions"
I was Riger trying to explain today's practice menu, but stop talking and pay attention to the two of you. In front of Riger were Youre and Lillie, who just had to be let go on both arms of Seyya.
Riger won't say anything either if this is the day Seyya came back, but it's been three days since Seyya came back already. Just about time Riger couldn't help but get angry.
But the two of us are so obsessed that we can't hear Riger and feel about Seyya. Seiya could only laugh bitterly at the way it looked, and the student council members watching around had a different look on their faces.
I see the two of you feeling like you're still craving about Seyya, Serena looking at you with envy, Mornah looking at Seyya with color eyes for some reason and still going to say haha, and Issy looking at Mornah like that with a creepy eye.
The three of them were reunited for the first time in a long time and understood that change was coming to each heart.
"Come on, you guys."
"Yua, Lily, I'm practicing now, so I'll see you later."
Note that Seiya is both of them before Riger's anger peaks.
"Ok......"
"Mm-hmm. I'll definitely be there later! Absolutely!
Youre and Lily look unhappy, yet reluctantly take their hands off Seyya. They quickly switched their expressions because they knew the importance of practice.
When you make sure Yua and Lily are away from Seyya, Riger starts explaining the practice.
"Well, until now, I've been doing all the mock fights to figure out what everyone's capable of, but from today on, I'm going into the individual menu"
Riger was right, three days after the Seyyas joined, they were mocking each other as leading athletes.
This was being done to capture the strength of Ryger, who is also the director of the representative team, because he does not know the strength of Youre and Lily and the student council members returning from Dacrea II.
After three days of mock warfare, Ryger made a separate menu.
"Yur first, but you know your challenge, don't you?
"Thunder Attributes..."
"Yes."
Yua's challenge is mastering lightning attributes.
That's what I found out in the battle against Silforno-Second about the Dark Knight in Dacrea II. Yua now grows but can't anymore.
If I say so, the light and holy attributes of Yua will be kansted, and to be strong, Yua will take over the true heritage, we need the lightning attributes.
It is also not a derivative magical lightning attribute of the wind attribute, but a combined magical lightning attribute of the wind and fire attributes.
For such yur, the individual menus prepared by Riger are:
"Come on in."
"Yes."
When Riger calls to the door at the edge of the stadium, the voices that the Sayers have heard return.
"Yahoo, Seiya, it's been a long time, Mr. Youre"
It was Arna, an energetic girl with orange hair, who came in fine. Seiya gives a surprise look to her classroom neighbor, whom she hasn't seen in a long time.
"Youre going to have Arna fight forever. However, the use of optical attributes is prohibited. All you can use is the magic of a lightning attribute that combines fire and wind attributes, and then both."
"Ok...... nice to meet you, Arna......"
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Youre"
When they finish their greetings, they head to one of the five separated spaces of the stadium and just start the fight. Seiya had a lot to ask Arna, but she thought about doing that later and heard Riger explain again.
"Well, Lily's next. Lily doesn't have to explain, you know?
"Yeah! And then I'll work on my own!
"Then start."
"Okay!
That's how Lily moves into the free space. But that explanation doesn't convince Seiya.
"Hey Riger, is that such a proper explanation?
"Yeah, because I don't know the one who can teach him magic. That's what Lily knew herself."
"So..."
"I'm fine. Lily has asked me how to train beforehand. He said he wanted to do it himself. So you have to trust him."
Riger is right, there are few humans in this world who can teach magic to Lily, the fairy Undine.
That's what Lily, the fairy, knows best, and she knew how to solve it. That's why Lily told Riger she'd be fine because she'd do it herself in advance.
"Right."
"Oh, I'm a mistress, so trust me. It takes trust to keep a secret."
"That doesn't matter now"
Ryger, stuck in Seyya, went on explaining.
