First game of the game.
We won the seed right, so we'll be watching the game for a while. And it will be from World War II after digesting all of World War I.
As a result, it is quite advantageous because you can see almost all of the matches in advance.
The siege will be a game divided into attack and defense.
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.
The order of attack and defense shall be determined by coin toss. And all matches go together on a three-round basis. It will be a victory for those who win two first. Ideally, I'd like to win two first.
If I get caught, I'm going into three rounds. Each round lasts an hour. The game is two hours if you decide fastest, but the game time is longer if you go up to three rounds. In other words, that's all fatigue accumulates.
On an overcrowded schedule, the tournament method means each team will come early to decide the game.
The position of the flag can also be freely installed on the defensive side. The defense side will be given only 10 minutes but an advance preparation phase. At that time, set up a flag inside the ancient castle.
And it is also possible to install the delayed magic "Delay".
Whether the defensive side is advantageous or the offensive side is advantageous, that cannot be said in its entirety.
Of course, that depends on the composition of the team members.
As a team, we can handle both offense and defense.
The most powerful of these would be the causal butterflies (butterfly effects). If the other person goes outside with a flag, you don't have to miss the other person. Conversely, on the offensive side, you just have to get away with it.
Manipulating the cause and effect in that way would make the battle easier.
The problem is Amelia's limit value.
The tournament in this battle will be quite a streak. As a result, insufficient intervals cannot be taken. If I were to put it out, I would like it to be the final, but whether I could play the game that safely by fulfilling it.
"It's finally starting."
"I'm a little nervous..."
"Well, let's take a look."
The three of us will be watching the game in the circular arena Colosseum. This game is a team of three students from the Diom School of Magic and three students from the Mercross School of Magic.
We've been watching that game since qualifying, but I still think we have a lot of mutual magic college traits out there.
Diom School of Magic specializes in melee combat and Mercross School of Magic specializes in witchcraft.
At first glance, a team of Diom magic that specializes in melee fights is thought to be advantageous, but it would be the Mercross School of Magic team that would be advantageous if it were a defense.
It is difficult to determine which is advantageous for all.
To the boulder, I don't know what will happen to the whereabouts of this game.
They will also want to decide to win both early as they will play up to three games in a row.
And when the two teams line up, the choice of offense and defense begins quickly by Cointos. For starters, Diom School of Magic wins the right to choose.
I chose the offensive side.
"You chose to attack. That's exactly what I expected."
"Yep. Sounds like it."
"Sure, our college specializes in melee fights, so of course."
That's how the game finally started.
The three of us kept watching the game go to the end.
◇
"You had a fight."
"Right. But surprisingly..."
"It doesn't seem like we should all be specialized in melee combat."
Yes. This game will apparently be won by the Mercross School of Magic side in no time.
The first game, defense. The second game is offensive. The third game is defense. Mercross School of Magic side in that order, but they skillfully use delayed magic Delay to build a complete defensive formation.
The defeat on the part of the Diom School of Magic, which could not break it, is no longer self-evident.
And the rest of the time runs out of minutes...... big sirens echo this venue as well.
The first round of this battle has been successfully concluded.
Watching this game made me learn a lot. This time it was not acceptable to investigate the ancient castle in advance. It will be after the first game for every team to know its structure.
I put the structure on the monitor in 3D on the note at hand and penned it down.
"Hey, Ray. What do you think of the game now... what's that? Note writing?"
"Hmm? Ah. I was writing down the structure of the old castle."
"Huh... can you do that?
And that's how Ariane comes to ask and Amelia looks strange too. I honestly decided to convey my feelings.
"Not all positions were seen in the game now, but the approximate structure was understandable. Perhaps one more game will give you a complete grasp. You're thankful for all this seed rights. I can watch a lot of games and spend some time getting ready."
……
"What's up?
Both of them, with their mouths open to pocan, were flabbergasted.
"I knew Ray was out of standard, but you're saying he's getting past a little awesome when he gets here..."
"Oh yeah... I can't believe you understand the 3D structure that much with that fragmented monitor info... that's a hell of a spatial grasping ability"
"Well, this is because my master trained me a lot. As long as I'm happy to take advantage of it."
After my experience in the Far East, I gained a unique ability to grasp space. Originally it is also the ability that the master has extended to me acquired due to his talent.
That's also connected to my ability to be an absolutely inviolable realm, the Anti-Material Field.
"Well, mostly I could grasp. All we have to do is set up an operation for the actual battle."
"Ray's operation would be perfect!
"That's right. Hey!
And you two admire me, but I'll be careful there. Nothing doesn't necessarily make my point. Even I've made a lot of mistakes.
There is no guarantee that we will not make mistakes in the future.
"No, not necessarily. Even I've made a lot of mistakes. Both of you, if you have any opinions, don't hesitate to say so. It's just a suggestion."
"... right. Okay."
"I get it. Ray is a wonderful man, after all."
"Really?
"Yep. I think so."
Then Amelia stares at Ariane. That was obviously the kind of gaze you were blaming on something, whether you were exploring it or asking questions.
"Ariane? No way?
"Yes, that must be normal now. Ugh! Amelia cares too much. Wow!
"But I haven't heard more about you when you stayed at Ray's parents' house? I'm asking for an overview, aren't I?
"Oh, that! Beth, there was nothing there!
"I'm suspicious of that rush..."
Afterwards, Amelia and Ariane started making noise for both of us. There was nothing particularly mixed up in that conversation, but I knew very well that Amelia was just questioning Ariane.
They said, "I don't like Ariane being a competitor either..." "Well, that's not true! Yes! I'm a [fighting maiden]!" "But my face is red...? It's a mistake!," he seemed to interact with something.
I, on the other hand, dive into my thoughts about the upcoming game.
To pick up the win for sure, you should settle the game early until the finals. If you win two first, you win there. But if they take even one round, they'll need to fight to the end.
If that goes on until the finals, it will be quite exhausting. Undoubtedly, accumulated fatigue leads to loss.
In other words, the battle ahead of us from here should be more cautious than qualifying.
If we get here, it's only natural to look forward to winning.
But it is the team led by Lucas-Folst that stands up. Evie and Albert also have considerable strength.
Probably pretty well worked out. Among them, Albert's growth has been remarkable. Sorcery and melee combat, both can be done in balance. If I were to fight, I'd like to do something about Albert first.
But they know that, too.
I don't know what game it will be...... I can tour all sorts of measures, but I'm sure it will do the best.
That's what I thought.
