Ray headed to Lucas and Amelia and Ariane were on their way to the third floor as Ray said.

But just because Evie and Albert are on the third floor doesn't mean there's a flag there either. Even in previous games, there have been cases where I have bought time by faking it.

They were in the process of rushing straight to the dance floor on the third floor, taking that into account.

Ray and I have already discussed the matter, but in the case of an attack it will be a battle against time.

It is also important to consider all possibilities, but on the other hand we should not be allowed time for possibilities.

And then I ran up the stairs, and after a while of sickness... I got there.

This dance floor on the third floor is quite large. Originally used for parties and other ceremonies.

But right now, there's no shadow at all.

There you are.

"Right. Looks like they're both waiting."

At the end of his gaze, Evi and Albert were waiting. But Amelia and Ariane were wondering. That's because Delay, a delayed magic trick, wasn't installed until we got here.

"Amelia. What do you think? So far, there has been no delayed magic" Delay. "

"Come on... you don't know what that's all about. Right now, we're gonna have to bump into each other from the front."

"Yep. That's right."

In previous matches, there were no matches without the delayed magic "Delay" installed.

That is definitely Theory, the stone of stone in this siege. Does ignoring it mean that there is any other intention, or...

And, thinking but soon, the two switch their thoughts.

Flexible and ad hoc. When I think of Ray's teachings, I enter a state of battle.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

It was Evie who moved first. When the internal "Inside" code is wrapped, the disease continues. And wave that fist thoughtfully.

Composition includes Evi and Ariane on the front line, and magic support in the rear guard is Albert and Amelia. At first glance, many would think that there was no way to reach two of the three nobles... but the truth is, it wasn't.

"Ugh!!

Ariane takes it straight from the front, without avoiding Evi's fist. I had originally intended to avoid it, but then there could be an attack on Amelia behind me.

That's what I thought, and I took it... again, it's heavy.

Evi is not as good at using the internal "inside" code as Ariane. Techniques as magicians rank high among students, but do not reach the three nobles in boulders.

But he had flesh that he had worked out to the extreme. The fists wielded with the full use of an overwhelming body of muscle mass were comparable in power to Ariane's.

"Amelia. I'll take care of it. Yo!!

"Got it!

And soon to be deployed is the frozen area of Gracefield. It is deployed so that ice sticks around it all at once. At that moment, Ariane made sure to glide down the ground and accelerate at once.

She also trains battles on the ice, sliding clean as it is and turning behind Evi.

Without keeping up with Ariane's speed of movement, he manages to enter the defensive system on the spot aggressively.

But Ariane tries to avoid that guard and punches her fist in thoughtlessly, but the next moment a gust of wind struck them both.

"Ku......!! I missed the paperwork!

I tried to slap my full fist from the top of the guard into the pigeon tail, where it would be thwarted by the storm Storm, Albert's sorcery on the boulder.

A leading must-win. With current speed, Ariane's offense was definitely on time.

If it was the fast sorcery "Quick" of the concurrent sorcerer, now it was a must. Evi would have been under attack.

But Albert made it.

The current offense also had the aspect of identifying the opponent's strength. Until now, Ariane has watched all his opponents' games, but this way it still feels different than fighting in action.

And apparently, he understood that it wasn't a glimmer.

"Albert, I'll do it."

"Yep. Fast magic Quick, but it's powerful."

I wasn't misjudging Albert's prowess. The two of them have known about Albert since childhood. I was also going to know to some extent his prowess like that.

Originally pedigreed, I've always been adamant about my talents. A being who neglected to make an effort and was solely dedicated to his talents.

That was Albert in the past.

But now we do not know that it will be blocked before us as a threat… the growth of man is something that we do not understand.

It's not just Albert. The four of us on this occasion are heavily influenced by Ray. That was the only fact that could not be changed.

"Well, what do you want to do? Why don't we force ourselves to break through?

"Can you?

"Yep. It's not impossible."

"No way, do you have the unique magic" Origin "?

"No, I'm not using it yet."

And, there's no way the two of us can wait while we're having a conversation, and Albert activates magic from a distance.

It was activated by the ice rubble Isicle Piercing. Overlap the code by the chain magic "Chain". And Isicle Pierce, an ice debris looming for two as if it were going to rain, but Amelia kicks it lightly.

Activated by Flamewall.

At the same time, Ariane was running through the ground. Running through this still frozen area as if slipping a skating rink.

The speed is immeasurable because the internal "Inside" code is further stacked for acceleration.

Even so, I thought there was some kind of obstruction to the boulder, but as if she didn't care at all about passing by, Albert and Evie overlooked her as it were.

-What are you thinking? No way, there's a delayed magic "Delay" ahead?

Think so, but there's just an installed flag in front of you. As it is, Ariane takes the flag and returns to the dance floor earlier.

There was Potsung and Amelia alone.

"Amelia? What about those two?

"He disappeared."

"Huh...?

"The moment Ariane ran through, the water vapor overflowed all at once... and when it was clear, it was gone."

"No way, get ahead and defend the flag?

"I guess it would be reasonable to think so. We need to move faster than that. Ray must still be fighting."

"That's right."

And the two of us are going back the way we came... but we still can't wipe away the discomfort.

Atmosphere as if no one was there. If it had been a match so far, there would have been a fierce sorcery battle the moment we took the flag away.

Even so, this quiet. Apart from ourselves, silence as if no one was there. Ray's supposed to be fighting, I can't even hear a loud noise from the ground floor. Furthermore, there is no indication that the primary material Prima Materia is fluctuating significantly.

Something's wrong, it's normal to think.

"You've finally come this far."

"I can't help thinking about it. Let's get this over with"

Amelia and Ariane came all the way to the dance floor without any interference. They then placed the flag in place outside.

That moment. The sound of a loud siren echoes.

"Round one. The winner is Team: Olgren"

Hearing the announcement, Ray slowly walked out of the castle.

"Ray! How'd it go!?

"Were you okay!?

There is no trauma to look at. The way I walked didn't seem unusual. I don't even have any dirt on my clothes.

But his expression was as if he had chewed up a bitter bug.

"In the middle of a fight, the opponent disappeared. That's how I wanted to rendezvous with the two of them, and I was winning..."

"So did Ray?

"That means, after all, was that the case there too? I thought it was too soon to end..."

Team: Olgren successfully decorated the victory in the first round.

But the three chests remained complex.

And not long before I thought about it, the second round was about to start soon.
