Magi Craft Meister

When Jen went to the square, the arena was full of people even though it was only 8: 00.

Rumors were spreading that a magic puppet competition (Gonkenz) would take place.

"Well, you didn't run away."

Like Jen, Viscount Georg Randall was here.

"Because of this, they've said they'd like to participate in the Magic Puppet Competition (Gonkenz), but don't you mind?

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Hmm, nice work."

So towards Georg trying to flip himself away, Jen asked.

"How's Elsa doing?

"Hmm? Do you care? I'm fine... see"

Georg squeezing his jaw and pointing to the other side. If you look in that direction, the Viscount soldier… No, Elsa, sandwiched in an automatic doll (Automata), was sitting in the front row of the arena.

"I am also an Imperial Military Advisor. They also have the latest automated dolls (automata) and golems. If you want to escape, now's the time."

But Jen only slightly distorted his mouth. It was Reinhardt by his side who opened his mouth instead.

"Uncle, that's where you're going to expose yourself to shame. Even if our automated doll (Automata) is bundled together, it doesn't really work for Zinn's automated doll (Automata)."

But Georg has no ear to listen to. I walked away without turning around anymore as it was.

"Jin, did you hear that?

When Jen went to the assigned seat of participation, Her Majesty the Emperor came.

"Sounds like there's been a mistake, huh?

Jen turned his sinister face to the Empress.

"Yeah, it is. My plans went crazy."

"I can only apologize for the Viscount's demeanor anymore, I'm sorry"

Jen panicked to Her Majesty the Emperor, who bowed her head.

"Oh, yes, no, please lift your head. I don't care...... yes, but it's not your fault. I'm sorry I couldn't make myself clear to the Viscount."

"I'm relieved you said that. Please, don't hate my country. The Viscount will be dealt with in accordance with the law."

I had to add, however, that the punishment could not be so severe in this case.

"The biggest sin is an insult to a national guest, so I didn't get an offer from the person who was insulted that day..."

Neither did Jen, because he didn't mean to, so he didn't say anything. That is the same for Prince Ernest, who was similarly ridiculed by Marcus.

"But as far as I'm concerned, Jin, I think I can make your strengths widely known, so let's be honest, you're welcome to the Magic Doll Competition."

"Even if your country's golem or automatic doll (Automata) loses as a result?

But the Empress smiled.

"Defeat, that would be good too. That is proof that there are still stretch bills. We just need to go for more heights."

"Oh, you're positive"

Jen, who was a sinister face, also smiled at the smile.

"Hehe, right. The woman of the Shawlo Empire is positive."

Jen remembered hearing that line, speaking of which Elsa was positive, too.

"Well, good luck with that. I care about Elsa, too."

To put it that way, Empress Gerhard Hilde von Rubies Schauro walked away.

Finally, it is time for the start of the Magic Puppet Competition (Gonkenz).

"Now, ladies and gentlemen, on the third day of the Technology Fair, we have a special project, combined with the Demon Guided Doll Competition (Gonkenz)!

MC's voice echoes the arena.

"The originator is Viscount Georg Randall and the challenger is Jin Nido!

The cheer boils.

"In addition, with a jump in, three people will join us: Engal Herdus, Theo Road Governors and Kelly Galbani! All three are up-and-coming young magic engineers (Magi engineers)!

This is also welcomed with applause.

"We are all familiar with the competition, and in addition to the five types of competition, heavy objects throwing, long swimming, exploratory diving and mock warfare, we are also planning a special mock fight against the giant golem, Goliath!

Goliath is the golem of Marcus, the participant. I guess I'm pretty confident that I'll make such a suggestion.

"Now, please enter the Automatic Doll (Automata) or Golem!

When referee Christoph Valde von Talnat, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic and Technology, said so, automatic dolls (automata) and golems advanced from the sources of each participant.

There are two golems and six golems each from three places: Engal Herdus, Theo Road Governors and Kelly Garbani. Apparently for shore and underwater use.

From Viscount Georg Randall, or Marcus, two automatic dolls (Automata) and two golems advanced. It has an appearance that shows at a glance that it is for shore, underwater and combat.

Lightweight and slim for shore use, and fins on hands and feet for underwater use, wearing the perfect swimsuit. And there are two for combat, and one is a golem like wrapped in armor. The other one is a golem, but not armored.

"Well, my Marcus won't shake again."

By saying attraction, he also admitted to jumping in and participating, but he could see that he was not likely to be his opponent at all to see, and Viscount Georg Randall was giggling.

That's when I got all the cracked up cheers.

"What?"

It is the reaction of the audience who saw the automatic doll (Automata) entering from Jen's camp.

Girl-shaped automatic doll (automata) in a black apron dress, which also appears to be out of place.

And only one Reiko has allowed Jen to participate.

Surprise, emotion, perplexity, anticipation...... was a cheer after such emotions came together.

"Hmm, are you licking to join in that outfit, or are you confident? Let's see how much it is."

Unlike such a Viscount, Elsa, staring in the front seat of the arena, was moisturizing her watery eyes.

"Brother Jin......"

Jen, who hated to stand out, invited Reiko to participate. That means a must-win attitude. At the same time, it is easy to imagine that after this competition Jen will receive more attention than ever before.

And both it and this, for his own sake, Elsa felt something warm flowing through her chest.

"Now for the first event, we're going 500 meters!

White line drawn to the square. The first course is Reiko. The second course is Marcus' Automata; the third, fourth, and fifth courses are golems for jumping in.

"About position! Three, two, one, start!

The earth and dust dance. The sound of Zdon sounds. audiences blocking their ears. And in the next moment, there's Reiko standing at the goal point 500 meters away.

"Hey, what?

Whose words would that have been?

In less than two seconds, Reiko was traveling 500 meters. And ten seconds after that, Marcus' automatic doll (Automata) scored a goal. Ten seconds later, three jumping golems scored goals back and forth.

Marcus' automatic doll (Automata) was certainly fast.

but it can't be any match for Reiko over the speed of sound. The starting point at which Reiko was present was wide open, telling the story of how much Reiko's stepping forward was.

"Unbelievable..."

Viscount Georg Randall rubbed his eyes so many times that he could not believe his own.

And a few dozen seconds late for full applause. Everyone forgot to react to Reiko's awesomeness.

"... I knew Leiko was amazing!

He is Prince Ernest in the VIP table. The prince, who had seen Reiko's work straight away, had taken this result for granted.

"Shit, winner, Jin Nido! Next point, Marcus Grimbault! ……

The name of the manufacturer rather than the automatic doll (Automata) will be mentioned.

Marcus' face was hatefully distorted.

"Second event, it's a heavy throw! We have three different hammers available this time! Throw these to compete for flying distances. At that time, the number multiplied by the weight and the distance is graded, and the largest number comes first."

MC explains.

"Now throw in order from fifth place. The direction to throw is Lake Tosmo."

The distance seems to be measured by dozens of underwater golems floating in the lake.

The first golem took the three types of hammers and chose the lightest ten-kilometre sphere, although it was comparable. The diameter is about 10 cm. Probably metals of specific gravity comparable to adamantite. It was painted yellow for easy viewing when I threw it.

Speaking of results, roughly fifty meters. It cannot be directly compared to a round throw, but in terms of mass x distance, it is about three times the world record on Earth.

The fourth- and third-place golems were not very different either.

And it is Marcus' turn. I chose a 20-kilometre sphere with a snug battle golem advancing and a diameter of about 17 cm. This is painted peachy.

Throw that in a foam like a cannonball throw. The record is about 75 meters. There was cheer from the venue.

"Wow, isn't that a new record?

The empress who watched is also an impressive record.

"Well, what do you say, Elsa? What is the power of my Marcus' new combat golem? That's ten meters above our record so far, huh?

Georg, who was watching next to Elsa, the front row of the arena, proudly says. But the answer Elsa gave me was extremely calm.

"... Raco isn't like that. Father, watch. Because I'm surprised."

"What?

Now Reiko just lifted the heaviest ball there was, i.e. a 30-kilo hammer. It weighs almost the same as Reiko's weight. This one was painted white.

"Well, do you want to lift that one? Well, I guess not."

Seeing it was a Georg that showed room, but when I saw even more Reiko supported the hammer with one hand, I accidentally peeled off my eyes.

And Reiko thought he would throw it on the form of a cannonball throw, like throwing a ball of bowling, i.e. throwing it unconstitutionally with a bad throw.

But that sphere, painted white, quickly disappeared from the sight of the audience in the arena.

Its orbit was close to a straight line, but also almost horizontal. I don't see how much I would have flown had I been thrown diagonally.

……

The MC and the referee have no words. Reiko had no choice but to walk up to the referee, and, hey, and his back.

So the referee, Christoph Undersecretary of Magic and Technology, finally returned to sanity, hastily calling back the golem of Lake Tosmo, asking a lot.

And ten minutes later.

"Yes, the throw now unfortunately didn't know the exact distance! The record is over a hundred meters! Hammer is thirty kilometers! Therefore, the grade is 3,000 points over! Jin Nido, it's number one!

It wasn't until 100 meters that the golem was deployed. Perhaps 500 meters should have flown, but who didn't think such a distance would come out alone?

As soon as it was announced, everyone who was in the arena stood up and the full applause boiled.

"Unbelievable..."

Except for just one, no two, Viscount Georg Randall and Marcus Grimbault, the audience had spared no applause.
