"So, what are you doing bringing dragons here?
In response to my question, Natori smiles and lifts the dragon with her hands as if she had heard it often.
"Take this dragon to the arena and snap his arm.From this afternoon onwards, the tournament will be closed to use. "
"Wow, wow!Can I go too?
I was purely interested in what kind of flames the dragon would exhale.But Natori whispers her eyebrows.
"You'll have a language school."
Wow, that's right.I'm sorry.
"Should Atashi contact you on holiday?
That's what Radica says, but I shake my neck sideways.
"Ehehe, I can't help it, but I want to learn the demonic language quickly and work with you!
◆ ◆ ◆
That evening. I was summoned by Mao-chan to enter the arena.We entered through the front entrance, but the lobby and other facilities are already in place and are completely in production.There is also a large sign saying "Organized by the 767th Duel Competition Duel Committee".There were several people in the lobby, and the staff with the green fluorescent vest were cleaning, repositioning the fixtures, matching the documents, and making each adjustment.
I pass them barely, through the waiting room lined with the monkey shelves, through the tunnel and into the ground of the arena.Last time I came to fight Hagis, it was huge again.The second stadium at Estyk Magic School is about the size of two.Mao-chan said that there are five adult dragons in the second stadium, so I wonder if there are ten in the arena.No, maybe more.
The audience seats seen from the ground are also large and can accommodate a large audience.There are a few staff with green zeckens to clean and inspect.
"You're late.This way, this way. "
Near the center of the ground, two staff members and Ma-chan stand together.Mao-chan waves at me.
"Gomeun!Language school is just over!
I'll run that way, too.
"So, what's the help?
"Put up a barrier on the ground to keep the magic from reaching the audience during the duel."
Barriers are magic derived from boundaries and are rarely used in routine battles because chanting takes time and requires regular maintenance instead of being able to hardly prevent almost all magic.If you look at a history book, there are a lot of records like that.As with borders, the strength of the chanter's magic determines the strength of the barrier, but it is generally stronger than normal borders and can even prevent magic beyond the magic of the magician.
"My concubine used to do it all by herself, but this time you're out too."
"Me, yeah."
"The battle between your concubine and you will be intense.The magic of a concubine can break the barrier, so I need your help. "
"Yeah, I don't think there's a game that intense.I think Mao-chan is stronger... "
Looking at me like that, Ma-chan gently whispers to me so that the staff can't hear me.
"What do you say to summoning your concubine as a magician?Your magic is more than a concubine. "
Keep your mouth away from my ears and say more.
"Your concubine may still be stronger in battle, but if you do your best, you will probably outperform your concubine."
How much does the Demon King appreciate?
Mao-chan's words surprised the staff.This staff member seems to know a little about human language.
"Hmm. My concubine recommended him to me and put him in the seedbox of a personal battle, but my concubine didn't recommend him without darkness.Remember your liver too.The final will be the fiercest battle in the history of the tournament. "
Mao-chan speaks demonic language to her staff.I don't know everything about it, but I know that Ma-chan is praising me somehow.I'm kind of happy that I'm valued, but I feel overvalued and I feel like I'm under pressure.
"Um, Mao-chan, I'm happy, but I'm so happy."
Well, let's get started.
Ma-chan moves to block my words.
"The barrier is domed around here.Remember that the entire arena is in a light oval shape.Barriers must have a dual structure.First your concubine stretches, then you reinforce the outer barrier, then you stretch the inner barrier.Concubines further reinforce inner barriers.Is that all right?
"Uh-huh, okay.I'll do my best. "
"Mm-hmm. Now you guys get out of the ground."
When we check back to the tunnel at the entrance, Mao-chan crouches down and puts her hand on the ground.
"Neldaddon"
A large dark red magic formation appears, instantly wrapping the entire ground.
Wow...
The earthy ground is instantly dyed red, and the look is spectacular, and Mao-chan's body is also wrapped in a dark rose color.
After the wind from the bottom, Mao-chan's cloak flickers.
"Jorge Nugedark Nerdadon Wi Rafra Nadesiria José Maraton Concommolona"
Chanting takes time.Mao-chan's spell lasted a long time.
The light gradually gets stronger and Mao-chan keeps singing with her eyes closed.
A large, strong, cold wind enters the entrance.It's a little cold.
By the time the wind subsided, the magic team had disappeared, and only Mao-chan remained in the center of the ground.
"Mao-chan, that's amazing!
I rush to the center of the ground.
Um, it's time to change.
Mao-chan gets up and hits me high.
"I've changed."
"Do you see the barrier your concubine put up?
The barrier is transparent and doesn't look like a normal person, but if you look at it with magic in your body, you will see a slight reflection of sunlight in green.
"Sure, it covers the whole ground."
"Now it's your turn.Tell me what to do. "
"Strengthen Mao-chan's barrier and create another barrier inside."
"Hmm. I want you to make the inner barrier as thin as possible.I'm asking you. "
Mao-chan slapped me on the shoulder and left.
"I've been asked."
We have to do it.Like Ma-chan, I crouched down and started casting spells with my hands on the ground.Let's start with the magic that strengthens the barrier.The yellow-green magic team wraps the ground.
After a long spell lasts for about two minutes and strengthens Mao-chan's barrier, she starts casting a new spell again in that posture.Unlike Mao-chan, a bright blue magical formation of summer seas appears.
Yeah?
Looking at it from the entrance to the ground, Ma-chan looked at the color and wondered.
"You wait here and I'll be right back."
Mao-chan said that to the staff, then ran out of the waiting room into the hallway and ran up the stairs to the audience seat.
