Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence

Finally the opening of the Leirian Magic Games.

A total of sixty students from each magic school arrived at the Isle of Different Spaces, commonly known as Lapis, the venue of the Leirian Magic Games, by means of transfer magic.

What is about to begin is a harsh battle that will never end until the winner is decided. Each of the delegates needs to do their best to lead their school to victory.

And I heard an explosion from somewhere, even though it was already right after it was transferred to Lapis Island.

That means he ran into the enemy and went into battle shortly after he was transferred.

In the meantime, there was a figure of one girl in the meadow area.

The clothes the girl is wearing are the uniforms of the Kurnisetheus School of Magic in the south of Aquaristan. The girl in the Kurnisetheus School of Magic uniform is alert around, yet agile to run through the meadow area.

The Kurnisetheus School of Magic is the only school in the Kingdom of Leiria that incorporates maritime action due to its characteristic of facing the sea.

For this reason, the students of the Kurnisetheus School of Magic excel in combat techniques underwater and especially in the sea, and none of the previous Leirian Magic Games has been able to defeat the students of the Kurnisetheus School of Magic who have entered the sea area.

Naturally, this girl is also aiming for a sea area where she can fight in her favor.

The island of Lapis, with its other eight areas spread radially, mainly in the urban area. The meadow area, where the girl is currently located, is an area located to the west when seen on the map, bordered by the forest area above and the strong wind area below.

And the sea area the girl aspired to was located to the north when seen on the map, and from the meadow area it was necessary to head either through the central urban area or through the forest area located northwest on the map.

Of the forest and city areas, the route chosen by the girl is travel through the forest area. The forest area, as its name suggests, is a forest covered with trees and difficult to find by the enemy when travelling. That's why the girl was choosing the forest area.

The girl rushes out more when the forest area is in sight. Even if it is found, it is easy to hide if you enter the forest area. On the contrary, it's ridiculous enough to be too alert to be found.

Girl trying to run through meadow area at top speed.

But suddenly a shock struck me about the girl, like ten meters to the forest area.

"Ah!"

At the next moment, the girl suddenly fails to cope with the shock that has struck her and falls in on the spot. Suddenly the girl, whose understanding doesn't follow, tries to put her hands on her uncomfortable head.

"Is that it?"

When the girl put her hands on her head, she realized there was one. That there's a hole in a part of the head that looks like something penetrated it. The girl gradually understands that she was pierced through the head by something.

"Ahhh."

I prepared myself for the pain that would strike me reflexively, but the pain never strikes a girl. That should be it, too. Because there is also a line on the island of Lapis where physical damage is converted into mental damage.

But just because there's no physical damage, there's no way the girl's safe. Mental damage converted from physical damage late strikes about the girl.

"Knock..."

The girl lost consciousness and became a dust of light by the damage that struck her spirit, erasing its existence from the island of Lapis. She retired from the Leirian Magic Games because the girl's mental damage exceeded her tolerance.

And what I captured in my sight just before such a girl lost consciousness was the live ammunition of ice that was falling on the lawn.

"One first"

What squealed like that with no expression was a girl in an Arsenian School of Magic uniform with water colored hair.

Her hands are gripped like sniper rifles made of ice. She is the culprit who retired the representative girl of the Kurnisetheus School of Magic.

Such a culprit, where Aisi is now, is on a single tree in the forest area, about three hundred meters away, from the point where the girl at the Kurnisetheus School of Magic retired.

From there, Aisi sniped a girl from the Kurnisetheus School of Magic without the aid of magic.

The sniper rifle, made of ice that Issy grips, is of course what she created. Its structure is almost identical to that of a real sniper rifle, and the only thing that makes it different would be the power it uses when shooting bullets off.

Normally, sniper rifle bullets are fired at using the power of a gunpowder explosion. But the power that Aisi used to shoot the bullets out was not gunpowder, but the power with which the magic bursts.

Magic is usually thought to be less physically interfering. There are very few magicians in the Kingdom of Leiria who can affect their opponents by magic alone, like Seyya.

But this is a mistake in a way.

If the subject that affects is a magician, this idea is correct, but if the subject becomes a non-magician or an ordinary animal, any magician can have a lesser influence, by analogy.

Because the reason why you can't affect a magician is a barrier to magic that the magician is unconsciously creating.

Like Real, instead of consciously creating a barrier to magic, the magician is unconsciously weak, but putting up a barrier to magic. And that unconscious barrier prevents the physical interference of magic.

So even if a lined magician tries to influence the magician with magic, it doesn't work very well and he illusions that magic is less physically interfering.

What happens if this is a non-magician without magic or an animal? Naturally, there are no more barriers to magic than not having magic, which can easily affect it.

That means that if the subject is just ice that is not alive in the first place, it is easy to receive the power that the magic exploded, and it is also possible to shoot off an ice bullet.

This is the technology used by Aishi.

By the way, it was Seyya who taught Isi how to do this, and it was also Seyya who proposed the means of attack: long-range shooting.

Seiya came up with this method when she saw Isi's sense of shooting during her shooting in the city of Orna, and suggested it to Isi.

"Next."

Aisi glances at the scope again. Of course the scope on the sniper rifle made of ice is also made of ice and can be seen firmly far away.

"Found"

When Aisi found a new enemy, she set up a sniper rifle made of ice.
