The first round of this battle was successfully concluded.

Finally, World War II will begin today. The first game of the day will be a battle against a team that has made it through the first round with us winning seed rights.

The opponent is a team of third and fourth graders at Mercross School of Magic. In the first round, the opponent was overwhelmed by its exceptional witchcraft.

Power, especially on the defensive side, is considerable, and if you can't win a defensive battle, you'll be certain to go into up to three rounds.

"All right. Let's go."

Again today, get up early in the morning as usual. Check your health carefully, but there are no problems at all.

That's how I headed all the way to the old castle, where I was gathered.

"Finally, the main battle."

"Yep. You've finally come this far."

"That's right. Hey! I'm gonna win again today. Yo!

I joined Amelia and Ariane, but they're both in good health. Sufficient temper. During this game, the operation has been quite well worked out.

Even so, there is no special tactic.

The only way to decide the game early is to win both defense and offense. For this reason, it is self-evident that the game will become muddy no matter which way you specialize.

From here on out, it will be a victory for a team with high overall strength.

"Ray-White kun...... right?

The other team is named Team: Astor. The leader, Senior Astor, is a fourth grader at Mercross School of Magic, whose strength is said to be at the top of the three colleges.

In the Magic Swordsman competition Magics Chevalier never came out due to the nature of the game, but in this tournament the two front-line players make the most of their abilities specific to the magic.

"Yes, thank you for this match"

Ask for a handshake. Then he shook his hand back with a grim, strong force as he stared into my eyes. That was a very thick, well-trained palm.

"To be honest, I didn't expect your team to get this far. Besides, I thought the biggest enemy was two of the three nobles... but you're the heart of this team."

"That's not true. It's a team of three."

"Modesty is a virtue, but I'm very interested in your prowess. Many magicians look down on me because I'm an Ordinary, but I'm not. I'm proud to be able to relate to a fine magician like you."

"I'm afraid."

Turning his head down on the spot, he smiles gently and then walks away waving.

I'd never actually talked to him before, but he was a very gentleman.

That could probably be attributed to the fact that he's a hard worker.

Origins are not of aristocratic lineage, but of general sorcerers. But he was brilliant. As a result, rumors had been heard that the College was not very well impressed by other nobles.

Is that why you admit to me?

I think about that.

"Were you talking?

"Oh, about to say hello."

"Cody-Aster. You're a magician, specializing in witchcraft. It's a famous story to possess the unique magic Origin. There's so much talk about adopting a son-in-law in a noble house."

"Really?"

I hear that from Amelia, but that's also convincing.

Previously on the team, only senior Hartnett used the unique magic Origin. Meanwhile, Cody-Aster is famous as a magician with the unique magic Origin on this team.

And each other's teams align.

The referee for this game is Carol, and she starts the cointos.

"Cointos, I'm going to start ~ We both wonder which one we're going to choose?

With a tall cat stroke, Carol says so, as usual. As far as I'm concerned, I don't care... Senior Astor gives me the choice.

"You can do whatever you want. It's the seniors' role to give way to juniors."

"Okay, back there"

"Yes, yes! Okay, here we go!

When the noise sounds lightly with Kiiyin, the circle and coin dance through the universe. When Carol took it firmly in the back of her hand and withdrew her hand... there was a coin that appeared on the table.

"Then we choose defense."

"Yes! So this game is a team: Astor in the order of defense, offense and defense ~ Shh! Team: Olgren remains in the order of attack, defense and attack ~ SU CAPI "

……

Apparently, heaven didn't take our side. Speaking of greed, I wanted to put it in the defensive, offensive and defensive order...... Apparently Round 1 has to fight on the opponent's favorable board.

I wanted to keep my nose frustrated, but I wouldn't have any choice but to do all this.

"Now we're in the prep phase! Ray and the others, wait long enough ~"

"Hey. Don't call me that here. It must be relaying."

And when I slap him in the ear, Carol apologizes to him.

"Oh, my goodness. I enjoy being with Ray, and I follow you!

……

Disgusting, unpleasant.

But Carol accidentally makes that look serious.

"Hey, Ray"

"Hey, I told you earlier. An inadvertent conversation."

"'Cause now it's geared toward the team we're getting ready for."

Speaking of which, did Carol manage the monitor? Carol goes on to say even more when she's impressed that it's a really clever thing to do while refereeing as well.

"─ Ray. Sounds like fun."

The words were somewhat emotional. And when I saw that face, Carol was smiling at me like she was so sweet.

I usually play, but Carol seems like an adult woman of her age at this time.

I don't hate Carol when she's serious. Plus, that look looks so pretty.

"Right. I'm sure I'm having fun."

"Glad you found something important."

"I do have friends, and I'm sure that's important. But I also think it's important that I meet my master, Abby, and Carol and other adults."

"Ray..."

And when he mouthed what he thought, Carol hugged him thoughtfully, moisturizing his eyes.

"I love it already -! Definitely because Carol will get you the virgin First Time. Huh! I'll chew you up! Chiu ~ "

Carol, who started the rampage, brings her face closer together thoughtfully. And the nature of "The Bad" is understandable if it's still cheeky, but it's coming all the way up to my lips.

Of course, I'll get Carol down right away. But this one is also one of the seven magicians, and without difficulty it is deceived.

And they stick together as if they were tangled tentacles.

"Hey! Whoa! Get off me! Don't play me before the game!

"So I wish after the game?

"Well said!

Asking questions like that, Amelia and Ariane, who stopped by nearby, still shot through about us.

"I thought Ray was close to Dr. Carroll... but I know I've known him for a long time"

"Right...... but this seems a little too much?

Then, without question, when he slapped Carol on the spot with a single bottle on his back, Carol made a call to start the game, as if he had hit and changed as if he was ready for the game.

"So, the second round of this battle. Team: Olgren vs. Team: We're starting Astor's game! The time limit is one hour. Okay, let's get started.

At the same time, we just broke into the old castle.

I already know the three-dimensional structure in the castle. It will be approximate, but we also know where the person is putting the flag.

That's how the three of us are walking, and there's a dazzling light coming out of the ground.

Apparently, I've been setting it up all of a sudden.

"Ray!"

"Ray, if you stay like this, you'll be cut off. Wow!

Yes. The light just shows up to break us apart, and Amelia and Ariane look as they are.

Perhaps you want to deal with me alone.

"Both of you, the operation is going on!

"Okay!

"I get it!

Thus the two disappeared, wrapped in a dazzling light. At the same time, the tricks and the sound of stepping on the ground echo.

He was the one who showed up there.

"Well. You're out of the way."

"Senior Astor"

"Now it's one-on-one. I'm very interested in you. I'll stick to winning this time, but this is how I wanted to fight you from the front. Don't go with Charlotte-Hartnet, will you? I don't care."

He's got a gentle smile, but it's a declaration of war.

So suddenly we were broken up, and we fought through the siege.
