Magi Craft Meister

"Preliminaries can be done with five ships at a time, leaving the harbor, going around the 'Away Rock' and back to the harbor, and the top two can make it to tomorrow's finals."
Live explains the competition.
"There are 35 participating teams this year, so Zeke 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29 teams will be in the first group"
Jenda "MJR" is Zeke 35, the final set.
"So, it's Preliminary One!
It is a group that contains "The Glory of Elias" by Valentino, a mentally handicapped man who is Zeke 1.
This group was all red swimsuits. They changed the color of the swimsuit every qualifying block.
From what Jen saw, the hull was as thin as a canoe for all five teams, naturally because all five were rowing in oars, but the golem that moved it was remarkably powerful with the 'Glory of Elias' stuff.
"You must have hired a brilliant magician with an identity or money."
The imagination was firing a target. Nevertheless, every team is doing it big and small, and it's not a bad thing.
"Come on, here we go! Five, four, three, two, one, here we go!
The water splash rises at the same time as the flag of the start is waved. The golems started rowing together.
Zeke 1 led the way while I looked at him. followed by 15, 29, 22, 8.
"Well, I knew the power was saying things."
The golem of "The Glory of Elias", as Jen's grunts it, is a bladed oar that is twice greater than the others. The difference opens more and more.
"Zeke 1," The Glory of Elias, "I folded back at the top!
There was also a ship at sea with a relay Magic Eye (Magic Eye), from which the video was sent to the Magic Projection Window (Magic Screen), so the audience had a good view of it.
Is the distance to 'Away Rock' roughly a kilometer or so? Two kilometers round trip, by the time he scored the goal, 'The Glory of Elias' had made a difference of nearly 500 meters below second place.
"You mean about 1.3x faster? Well, it doesn't look like it's going to happen yet."
Jen analyzes his competitors' strengths.
The second round of qualifying is naturally Zeke 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30, but compared to Dongri's back, there was nothing particularly to see. Because of this, the color of the swimsuit was orange.
And three fights.
"Come on, Preliminary 3 focuses on Zeke 3, Team Blue Sea (Blue Marine)! As you can see, the mermaid-shaped golem is the first in the history of the Games! What kind of run would you show me?"
This block contestant is a yellow swimsuit.
"Five, four, three, two, one, start!
Lorelei pushes a wide, shallow bottom hull from the rear. The kick was powerful, pushing Gungu and the other four ships away.
"This is as fast as the earlier 'Glory of Elias'!
There is also strength in the reality.
"Hmm, that matches the shape of the hull. But if it's a double-torso ship, we can propel it in between."
The downside is that Lorelei, the golem, is quite defenseless, Jen analyzed.
In doing so, Zeke 3, who has folded back early, is the goal in first place. This is another victory in the punch with a difference of nearly 500 meters below second place.
Games four, five and qualifying went on, but there was no team to catch Jen's eye.
Game six, it's a group with that 'feather golem'. The color of the swimsuit is the water color.
"Three, two, one, start!
"Whoa, Zeke 27, I spread those wings! It's winged!
"That's a lot of power. We're lifting the ship a little."
The feather golem produced propulsion with its wings, as well as lifting the ship, albeit slightly, and reducing resistance.
"But it's too inefficient"
As Jen shrugged, it was only shortly after the start that he was putting on second place, Zeke 27, but whether the golem is imposing, or lack of magic again, gradually began to lag behind, and by the time it folded back, it was at the bottom.
"The idea was interesting."
In the end it was a goal at the bottom.
And it's the final round of the qualifying round. Block of manipulators in blue swimsuits.
"Come on, last race of the day, qualifying round seven is about to begin!
There was cheer in the live voice. Jen also pays attention. Marcia and Zeke 28 use a four-arm golem.
"As I thought earlier, Zeke 28 is an unusual golem, Mr. Bernardo in the commentary."
"Right. But it was Mr. Giordano who made it."
"What! Surely, he was also the one who made the golem for the last team we won, wasn't he?
"That's right. So pay attention, right? And more than that, I'm interested in Zeke 35."
Here came the topic of signals (swans).
"Oh, you said that during the parade, too"
"Yeah. And it's interesting to see a place called Golem that looks just like a ship operator. Let's pay attention."
And the final qualifying match begins.
"Five, four, three, two, one, start!
Surprisingly, it was Zeke 28 who started at the top. The golem was shaped to sleep on the hull of a boat, moving four arms and an oar efficiently.
"Well, you're an ant for rowing like that, that's funny"
I was a little impressed with Jen. Marcia, on the other hand, is second. Jen watched closely as he did so,
"Sounds like Marcia has some ideas. Arrow is far from full force, too. Probably thought I'd never show you everything in my hand before tomorrow's finals."
"But don't tell your father anything."
Reiko in a slightly dissatisfied tone.
"Yeah, maybe you've seen the races so far and come up with them."
Even as we talk about it, the ship moves on towards the distant rock, which is the turning point. So far the top is Zeke 28 and Marcia is in second place.
"What do you think, Mr. Bernardo?
"Yes, number 28 is a good use of oars. And I'm just hoping to catch up on number 35."
In the Magic Screen, Marcia's Signus (Swan) is now folding back.
"Well, it's not a good idea to turn around. Isn't it time, Marcia guy, to get serious?
Shortly after Jen said so.
"Whoa, Zeke 35, I sparred!
Signus (Swan) I can see that the water splash raised by the water wheel in the rear has grown. And Signus (Swan) got up to speed.
"Zeke 35, fast, fast! We are rushing up number 28 running the top!
The live voice grows louder and the audience cheers.
"Zeke 28 will pace up too! But number 35 is faster than that! And... now! I pulled it out. Ah! It's top 35!
Keep the signal (swan) at the top,
"Gooool!! First place 35, second place 28!
"Hey, Mr. Bernardo in the commentary, that was an incandescent battle"
"Right, it was the fight we deserved for the final qualifying match"
"But how come number 35 didn't get that speed out of the beginning?
It is a natural question.
"Well, guess what, because of the structure and the strain on the water wheel when it comes out at full speed, I guess it was kept warm for tomorrow's finals"
Although it is the most obvious answer, it is a misunderstanding for Jen at the time. Anyway, the movable part is reinforced with adamantite, so you don't have to worry about breaking it no matter how many hours the arrow lasts.
But in the live seats,
"I see, because I was anxious about durability."
I was convinced.
"Well, we've also finished qualifying for the 10th Golem Boat Competition. Customers, please note that you have forgotten something. It should be noted that tomorrow's finals will start at 9: 00 a.m."
As the announcement flows,
"Now, shall we go and labor Marcia?"
When Jen stood up,
"Jin! I knew there was no madness in my eyes! The way your ship is propelled is fantastic!
Turning to a hot and bitter voice, it was Reinhardt. Elsa in her swimsuit is with her.
"I first saw it today because you guys had separate practice waters, but, um, it's novel to spin a water wheel and run! I want to hear a lot about you! Yeah, why don't you join us for dinner tonight?
next to Reinhardt. Elsa was
"I'm sorry for the noise.... Brother Rai says oh too. What do you say?"
I've heard so few words. Jen,
"If you say Marcia's good, I don't mind."
That's what I answered.
"Oh well! Then hurry up and go check with Lord Marcia!
and was Reinhardt trying to run to the harbor,
"Hmm? What am I?
Just there came Marcia, who had deposited the ship with the janitor. Jen informs Marcia of Reinhardt's offer.
"Yeah, I don't mind."
Marcia who answers instantly. Reinhardt is thrilled to hear that.
"Right! All right, let's go then!
and it was Elsa who drew that hand that walked out and held it back.
"Brother Rai, me and Mr. Marcia are swimsuits. I'm gonna get dressed. Just give me a minute."
