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

On the eve of the final, I was alone in a dormitory room. This time we decided to stay in the quarters next to the Circular Arena Colosseum for tomorrow's game.

And I was just finishing my last meeting earlier.

The final will undoubtedly be a death fight, I hope the game is settled in two rounds, but that's just a hopeful observation too. Instead, I'm telling the two of them to stay calm even if I drop one round.

It would also be advantageous to take one round first due to the nature of the rule of this siege. If this one takes first, the opponent is in a hurry because there is no later than he can be in a psychological state that he can win with one round remaining.

Even if you look at previous games, you have a better chance of winning one round first.

The point of view that magician strength is the spirit also becomes an important element. In that regard, our team thinks it's okay. I'm proud not to move a little bit, and I'm telling Amelia and Ariane this.

All you have to do is get some good sleep and prepare for tomorrow's game.

The current time has just gone around 21: 00. It's still early to sleep, but as I was about to get ready, Concon and I politely knocked indoors about three times.

"Yes, which is it?"

When I get up from my chair, I walk to the door. And when I slowly opened the door, it was Ariane who was there.

"Ah... Um, was I interrupting?

"Can I help you? You mean tomorrow's game?

"Eh. Well... Sometimes..."

I don't get the guidelines.

She's always hazy, but now she dyes her face cherry and touches her hair busily.

Apparently he took a bath and his hair was slightly damp.

Probably because of the slight red cheeks.

"In the meantime, do you want to come in?

"Oh, thank you. Excuse me."

She comes indoors looking nasty. This is one of the dormitories, so I can't entertain you enough.

But just before I go to bed I was going to have some hot milk, so I give it to Ariane.

"It's hot milk."

"Are you sure? This is something Ray should drink..."

"I don't mind. I'll make another one soon."

And I, too, prepare my share of hot milk and sit in a chair.

When Ariane and I sat across from each other at the desk, we just asked about something.

"So, what happened? Could you be ill or have a problem with the magic area?

"Yes, what! My body's fine. Wow! And the magic realm is normal.

"That was good. So, what else?

When I ask her that, she just leans down a little bit. We must not imitate here in such a hurry and imminence. That, somehow, I had guessed from Ariane's atmosphere.

After some time, Ariane opened its mouth when she looked up bah.

"When the game is over... I'm sure I won't be able to stay calm. That's why I came to tell you first."

"What?

"Thank you."

Staring at me with his eyes still high, Ariane bowed her head deeply on the spot.

"─ Thank you so much. Wow!

That was an emotional word like never before. I don't know what to describe, but I'm struck by Ariane's words like that.

"You're welcome, I just wanted to say... right. I have something to tell Ariane, too."

"What...?

I get a pocan look on my face. That seemed a little surprising, and it was also like being afraid of the words ahead.

I was going to reveal what I thought.

"This way, thank you for following me so far"

"─ Oh, no! You don't deserve me to say that. Thanks to Ray, I've come this far!

I'm sure that's serious. Hurry to deny it, but Ariane's eyes were slightly moist. You're feeling it, louder than usual, and the voice color is different.

That's why I spin more words.

"Just a little bit, let's talk about me. I've always been afraid to touch people's hearts."

……

Hit me and change, Ariane listens to me seriously in silence.

That was true when Amelia was there, but there is also the feeling that it is still scary to reveal what she sincerely thinks this way. But I could honestly put it into words for Ariane, who has fought with me so far.

"By entering the college I was able to meet many friends. In doing so, I learned the importance of crossing minds with people. I made numerous achievements in the Far East Battle and now have one of the seven great sorcerers, [the Ice Sword sorcerer]. That may indeed be a great feat from the side. But I was still on my way as a human being."

"Ray's on his way, is he?

"Ah. I'm only fifteen. Same as Ariane. Different circumstances kept me lost, too. Just like you."

"It's..."

That's right. I've been lost.

But meeting everyone could make a difference.

Amelia at the Magic Swordsman Competition, Magics Chevalier, Senior Rebecca at the Cultural Festival, and Ariane at this massive magic battle, Magics War.

People can't live alone.

By entering the college, I was able to learn that fact again.

Maybe I could have given you something. Meanwhile, I feel like I've given everyone something more important than that.

I exposed that thought to Ariane. I wanted to tell her.

The truth is, I was going to talk to you after the finals, but I felt it had to be now.

"Ray... you were thinking that"

"Ah. If you don't put it this way, it won't get through."

Gently touch Ariane's hand.

Her hands are so warm. This warmth is what I think it is about people.

"Thank you, Ariane. Thanks to you, I think I could have grown even more. You're the one who invited me to this massive sorcery battle, Magics War. I wasn't originally planning on leaving. But it was really fun to get to the finals like this and fight with them. Besides, it was a pleasure to share the same joy. So..."

After a few moments, I smiled naturally.

"─ Thank you, for inviting me. I'm so glad I met Ariane."

Then you were impressed, a twofold tear dropped zero, but she wiped it immediately.

I'm sure the maiden she seeks won't cry here.

I always kept asking for my ideal self, and I knew I was putting it into words.

There must be something about her, an ideal maiden.

"Wow, it's me! I'm so happy to have met Ray. Thank you. Thank you so much!

No more tears were needed. She smiles, too, Nicole. The grin was so full of charm that I had never seen it before.

If I could only keep staining the blood and take it away and give someone something again... I'm sure there's no happier happiness...

◇

Opening the door, Ariane was returning to her room. At the end of the day, turning a chill at this one, she waved gently before running patterned ahead.

I kept looking at it until I couldn't see it.

"─ Amelia. Is he here?

And when I raised my voice, I saw only one red hair coming out of the corner of the hallway.

"... you knew?

"Oh. I was aware of the signs of someone in front of the door."

"Oh well. Well, but... it wasn't an atmosphere to let you in. You didn't mean to eavesdrop on me, did you?

"Of course I know"

And I asked Amelia if she would go indoors as well, but she shook her head to the side.

"I'm fine. Actually, Ariane's looking weird, so I'm just here to chase her."

"Did you?"

"Yep. But if you're okay with that, you're okay."

"Ah."

"And yet..."

Amelia tries to look into the void somewhere and speaks of the mood in a Rin voice.

"Ariane, you were just like me. I always thought. Ariane's not like me, she's a strong kid. But people don't know what they're talking about."

"Ah. It was Amelia who told me about it. It was you."

"... I miss you"

"Right. It's winter now."

"Me too, just like Ariane. Happy to meet Ray. So I'll definitely win this final. I've given you a lot of things, too."

Words in which strong will dwelled. Besides, I also caught a glimpse of the will to beat those eyes absolutely.

You've honestly changed, I think.

In the Magics Chevalier, a sorcery swordsman competition, she was about to be crushed by the pressure, Pressure, to face the final thus.

Seeing that, I still... feel glad.

"Let's definitely win"

"Yep."

Pair your fists with your knuckles.

And we break up there.

I stared at her as she left, but what Amelia looked back at, there was no more.

The back looked bigger than usual.

With each thought, we came to the finals.
