Ice Sword Mage Unites the World - The Boy, the world's most powerful magician, enrolls in the School of Magic

Lunch break came.

Today, however, we do not have all the usual members.

Amelia is absent from school today because she has business at her parents' house or something.

Albert and Evie seem to have a little errand for lunch break, too, and they're not here. I haven't heard directly from the two of them yet, but I'm sure they'll compete in the massive sorcery battle Magics War.

That was somewhat understandable in the atmosphere.

And now, me, Elisa, and Clarice are eating together.

"Speaking of which, come on..."

And it was Clarice who opened his mouth.

The twin tails are tightly kicked, as usual, and its glossy golden hair looks somewhere divine.

Clarice seemed to be doing very well today, as you can tell by looking at the twin tails over her complexion.

"Ray's going to a massive sorcery battle, Magics War, right?

"Oh. I'm going to."

"But are you okay?

Elisa also comes into that conversation.

"... right? Because Ray-kun..."

Both of you know what's going on with me.

Indeed, I am a contemporary [Ice Sword Mage]. But the ability is in a state of sealing itself. Even if it could be temporarily freed, it's only transitory.

The Magic Realm Rampage "Overheating" has not completely healed yet.

But it's definitely getting better.

I don't understand the cause of this, but I still have an approximate idea, but I'm sure it will be fine if it comes to competitions like this one.

"As for the enchantment realm rampage Overheat, it's not fully healed yet. But this tournament... I'll be all right with Magics War."

"What do you mean?

Clarice stops his eating hand and is a kyoton.

Elisa looks at me with interest again.

So I decided to talk about the nature of the tournament.

"This tournament is a team fight, isn't it?

"Right."

"Besides, the game uses Kafka Forest. Plus, they're gonna use the old castle in the deepest north."

"Heh... you're doing that"

"Even if the magic doesn't work, I think my experience will come alive this time. Unlike Magics Chevalier, the Magic Swordsman competition, this time it's a team fight. Besides, it's complicated when it comes to the rules that determine winning and losing. There's a chance."

"Speaking of which, what's the rule?

When I retrieve the material that I try to answer to Clarice's question, but Elisa folds, she reads it out.

"Er... the team is to be organized by the three of us. So, there's a preliminary and a main match... it's like a match to be based in Kafka Forest."

"Heh. We'll put together a base... Specifically?

"They said they would prepare a place where the primary material, Prima Materia, would overflow every hour at a specific location. In that place, it says that you should save a certain value of Prima Materials for your magic props…"

…… I mean, with Doyuko?

Clarice still doesn't seem to have the outline, so I'll go into more detail.

"A random base will be set up in the Kafka Forest. After six minutes there, the location of the base changes. It's important to go inside that stronghold with your magic props."

"... eh. You mean one saves the first material, Prima Materia, with a demon prop, and the other two protect the person?

"Yes."

"That sounds kind of tough..."

I squeal bossly, but surely this rule is quite complicated.

Accumulate the first material "Prima Materia" in the magic prop. It is set up for each location and randomly shifts the location.

That means it's going to be a battle while the three of us travel.

And when you are occupying a base, you must defend it, but when you are occupying a base, you must attack.

As far as defense is concerned, one person occupies the base. Two defend.

With regard to the attack, the three of us can attack simultaneously.

I mean, if you look at this alone, it's more advantageous on the offensive side.

I expect it won't be a one-sided game unless there's a marginal difference in strength as an offense. Perhaps the shift at the base will be a fierce match.

"Right. Besides, there is only one demonic prop activated at the base"

"So you definitely have to push them out of base."

"Oh. And it's a win for those who saved up to a certain value or held a lot of first material, Prima Materia, when the time limit expired"

"What's the time limit?

"Preliminary is enough for three games a game."

"Ha... that's kind of awesome"

Clarice's twin tail was moving busily. I'm sure that's what represents her emotions. I'm used to it, so it doesn't feel particularly fresh.

"Ray-kun. That's amazing. I already remember that."

"In order to compete, the rules are slamming in. But rather than occupying a stronghold... the problem is the Siege Battle. I hear this is from the main battle."

"Uh..."

When I say that, Elisa stares at the material again.

"Siege warfare has been divided between attack and defense since the beginning."

"That's right. The offensive side wins if they take the flag placed inside the castle and take it to a predetermined position outside. On the defensive side, win if you defend it within the time limit. You've got two hours."

"... which is more advantageous or something?

I don't have a clear answer to that question yet. All this, you might not know until you play a game.

"Right...... not at all. All this can only be said according to the composition of the team. Besides, offense and defense are determined by the delegate pulling the lottery before the game. In other words, there are many elements of uncertainty. I guess we should train in balance so we can handle both."

"Oh well... I don't know, you've got a lot to do. Ray, are you okay?

"... but aren't you okay? 'Cause it's Ray."

"Maybe that's true, too. haha."

To Clarice's words, Elisa smiles.

But this massive sorcery battle, Magics War, I don't think I can be alarmed either.

Composition of a team of three. Good sorcery, bad sorcery. Furthermore, due to the nature of this tournament, I have never been physically capable.

It was a one-on-one battle at Magics Chevalier, a sorcery swordsman's tournament, and there were no particular elements such as mobility.

I just needed to get bumped straight from the front.

On the other hand, this massive sorcery battle, Magics War, is a special rule: base occupation and siege warfare.

Fighting while traveling. Besides, you will be asked to fight, choose to leave, or respond as appropriate. Nothing can be as good as fighting straight from the front all the time.

Taking all strategies into account, it is this massive sorcery battle, Magics War, that fights.

It was probably Mr Abby who thought about this rule.

That would have been obvious if we had looked back at the military age. Of course, I remember this hand training, so I'm pretty sure it's in my favor.

But this time it's a team fight. The other two, Amelia and Ariane, have no experience in such sorcery warfare. For this reason, after thorough training, it is necessary to confirm the cooperation with the Games as appropriate.

Again... no matter how much I think about it, it doesn't seem to be a glimmer.

"No, I can handle it on my own... but this time it's a team fight. Working with your peers becomes important. You won't feel safe."

"Speaking of which, who's Ray going out with? Amelia's listening."

It's Amelia and Ariane.

"Uh... Um, Ariane-Olgren?

"Yes, but is there also a problem?

Clarice with a slightly surprising look. What do you think that is?

"No... but I thought you and Ariane would go well together."

"Does Clarice know about Ariane?

I ask so, but Clarice is still an upstream aristocrat. Understand that there has probably been interaction for a long time.

"Well, we meet at a party or something, and we've had a few conversations... it's bloody hot"

"... that's for sure. Ariane is hot. That soul."

"Amelia must be in trouble to get caught between you two..."

"Huh. We just have to get Amelia to do her best there."

"I know the training for Magics Chevalier at that sorcery swordsman competition, so I'm sure it'll be amazing this time around."

and the moment I heard that word.

Elisa shrugs again, too.

"Oh... that was awesome... well. Amelia. Oh, my God."

"That's right. Ma, follow us! Hey, Elisa!

"Yeah! Right. I'll give you a lot of support!

The two women were oddly motivated.

Sure, I can't perfectly support Amelia with a man. Sometimes same-sex would be easier to talk to.

With that in mind, I was just about to start preparing for Magics War, a massive sorcery battle that was imminent two months later.
