Pursuit ring. This is a very powerful accessory, despite its ridiculous name.

The effect is as simple as "additional attack with a 10% chance after casting magic," but it can be quite beneficial.

For example, let's say you have a situation where you need to shoot magic with a very high HP boss. If you need more than 1000 rounds instead of 100, 10% of those 1000 rounds will be a "magic double attack." In other words, it saves about 100 shots.

His wife thought, "It's not a big effect." "Some situations are rare." That's different.

In fact, this accessory can be enhanced in three steps. If it becomes possible to improve the performance of the equipment with the help of the higher-ranking Blacksmith, the pursuit ring will evolve to a monster-like performance. Specifically, after three levels of enhancement, the probability of an additional attack increases from 10% to 25%. That's once every four times. Saving 1000 shots saves about 250 shots. This is a ridiculous effect. It's already bloody and smooth.

However. Items with high performance are not necessarily rare. The price is 1.5 billion CL. It is provided with three memory foam pillows. It was so expensive during the Mebion era. I don't know how much you will cost in this world.

... I want it.

I definitely want to get this here.

No matter what hand you use.

With my determination, I asked for participation in the magic tournament. Fortunately, the magic tournament is the last day of studying abroad. I used to say that the magic book is unusual, but some people will be suspicious of using the No. 2 type and the Sanno type, but it will be somehow manageable. I want to do something. In fact, I want a pursuit ring because I can be somewhat suspicious.

"Mine, will you come to a magic tournament?"

The day before the magic tournament. When I heard that during lunchtime, Mine's expression was solidified.

"... Does second come out?"

"Buffy !?"

Beside me, Sylvia squirts a drink from her mouth astonishingly.

"I haven't heard it!"

As usual. This time it was a nice reaction.

"Oh, Mine, is that something you don't like for your magic tournament?"

I worry and ask a question. Mine said, clouding her face.

"Tomorrow ... my older brother is coming ..." "Is it the first prince? Do you hate it?" "I'm not so, but I'm not good at that ..."

I hate this.

"My brother is a talented person. I only have magical talent, so my brother, who is good at swordsman, looks down on me, saying I'm a weak man. It's awkward to fight for the throne, and I'm supposed to be visiting the First Knights tomorrow, but I think the real purpose is to come down to the front of the crowd. "

That looks bad. But is the First Prince the Commander of the First Knights?

“………” When I glanced at Sylvia, she looked as if she had bitten a worm. I see. The top of Sylvia's tormented Knights, the Upper, is the first prince.

"Can't you miss a magic tournament?" "I can't do it! I'm the second prince?" "Oh, illness" or "I'm going to say that my older brother is so magical. It's a coward who can't even go to the tournament! "

…… If you look at the current situation where you are suspected of bribery or tampering with your grades just because you are the second prince, the first prince will say that such things are finally gone. That's why if you get out of this, you'll be abused in front of you, and you'll have to refute it, right? The prince is hard ...

"Sorry, I'm sorry."

Mine resigned, saying so with an enlightened expression.

Without worrying about such a sad reality at all, the eco that engrossed in the rice beside me was quite a healing one.

"By the way, second lord", "What's going on?" "Sanno-type, I learned. Three days ago." "Seriously? Three days ago !? I didn't listen !?" ………… ”

Well, I was returned ...

Magic tournament day. There are many spectators on the ground.

I broke up with Silvia and Eco, and was alone in the waiting room. There are several other students participating, all of whom are chatting with the guys. About 10 people.

"But this ring of championship prizes ... I haven't heard anything about this." "Last year was the 50th anniversary of last year, but it didn't seem to be a big deal, and the scale is shrinking year by year." It has changed, the rules have changed, and it's already a loss. ''

They often shed light on the possibility that their students are getting low. Still, do you not know the value of a pursuit ring even though you are a magician? You may think that a 10% chase is a negligible effect if it is not strengthened, but it is not unavoidable to know the enhancement.

"But Klaus seems to be visiting this year." "Well, you are in Group A, look at you." "Oh, that's right. The second prince." I guess you're going to mess around? "" Hah! That's good. "

After that, it began to swell at the back of Mine. All you want to say is that you don't have yourself.

Surely, wherever you go in this school, the scheme of "first prince> second prince" is completely completed. It is quite unnatural. I don't think there's a major cause for Mine himself, so it's very likely that the first prince side is operating the impression. Do you hate Mine so much? Who is that Claus?

"Excuse me……"

Having said that, it was the expressionless Mine who opened the waiting room door and entered. At that moment, the room calms down with Shin. Of course. You guys were just talking about just before.

"Oh, are you seed?"

When I called out, Mine instantly smiled and ran up.

"Yeah, I'm from the quarterfinals." "Seriously, I won't win until the finals." "Fufu, let's meet in the finals."

The magic tournament seems to be held in a tournament format. 15 participants. Mine was on the far left and I was on the far right. If Mine wins twice, the final, if I win three times, the final.

I see, i see. It's getting interesting.

… But there is one thing I do not understand. that is--

"By the way, Mine. What do you do at a magic tournament?"

There is a loud noise everywhere in the waiting room.

"Well, did you participate without knowing that !?" "Sorry. What, maybe that? Kill each other with magic?" "It's completely different!" "So, do you kill each other normally? "Where is magic ?!" "Well, then kill each other with magic ..." "No! I won't kill each other! First, stay away from each other!" I don't know. "" I don't know why !? "

The air in the waiting room, which was frozen by the bokeh and tsukkomi sandwich, also warmed up slightly. Mine seems to feel relaxed without heart.

"No, second ..." Mine opens her mouth to explain, while being amazed.

"The magic tournament is played with a" game crown, "so it's not life-threatening."

Game Crown-PvP (player vs player) item. Unlike normal duel, there is no limit to the use of items and skill limits, so you can perform duels with each other without any risk. It is.

The reason why there is no risk is that everything in the "game" using the cap is virtual. Your HP and MP are virtualized, and the damage dealt and the damage done are virtual. Therefore, even if the HP becomes zero, the game is only ended and no problem is restored. Therefore, although it is for chicken, some gamers fell in love with the freedom of rule formation in the game, explored all possible variations, developed and popularized an interesting `` game '' different from the usual `` duel '' ......

"Attack is not magic, that's the rule. Did you understand?"

I was convinced of Mine's words.

...... It's a fucking game.

"7th round! 1st year group A vs. 1st year group F Dean!"

When I called my name and went to the ground, I found Silvia and Eco just behind me. If you wave your hand with a smile, the eco will bounce your hand vigorously. Silvia was in agony with her hand on Sylvia's nose.

"Play crown, wear"

The referee gives an instruction. Obediently, a large circle appeared around me and Dean. A circle with a radius of 50 meters, inside which is the game field. If you go outside, you lose.

"Both are ready ... start!"

Shortly after the command, Dean began chanting. The magic circle at his feet tells us that it's a wind attribute, type 2 from its color and shape.

...... This guy is stupid.

Ichino-type attacks normally. Type 2 is a range attack. The Sano type is a powerful single attack. Shino-type is a powerful range attack. The Gono type is a very powerful range attack. The chanting time is longer in the order of Ichi → San → Ni → Shi → Go. If attacked during the casting time, the casting will be destroyed. Therefore, during the game, magic with a long casting time, such as type 2 or more, makes little sense. This is common sense.

………….

Dean, is it Namep? Apparently somewhere, did you hear rumors such as "Second cannot use magic?"

I was squeaky.

It was licked ... the world's top! In such a brat! !

After finishing his chanting, move forward within 3 seconds and hit “Ichino-type” to settle in an instant. But it doesn't clog. We will not dispel the insults insulted in this sacred game.

"Be prepared"

I go two steps forward and shoot Wind attribute Ichino-type ahead. Almost at the same time, Dean released "Wind Type 2 Type".

Magic with the same attribute has the property of "colliding". It is a simple defense method that takes advantage of it. Although it takes a little damage, there is more than twice the difference between the stiffness time after using the Ichino type and the stiffening time after using the Noh type, so it can create an "advantage" that can be more than compensated.

"Now !?"

Dean is surprised. Something like, "The story is different!"

The worst thing is that you have to devote your time to a game of one second in the comma, and not take the next move. Have you been licked by such a guy? Stunned through anger.

`` Choose whether to die as it is while killing or begging for life ''

While saying that, I chanted Fire Elemental / Participation, and by the end I was ready to fire. The rank is five steps. The casting time has been reduced by two stages, and you can attack with 300% of the magical attack power calculated from INT. It seems that the power is not so much considering that 9 steps of bobber bow art is 600%, but since there are more than 20 magic skill types compared to about 9 archery skill types, INT is more efficient The firepower is considerable because it is easy to go up.

"Well, come on!" "Ugh! Garbage in your eyes!"

The moment Dean tried to say the surrender, I ate the ginseng.

A fireball that looks as big as it looks up, like a sun, approaches and roars against Dean. At this time, Dean has no way to prevent or avoid.

"Wow ah!"

Dean screamed and was hit, and his HP blew off with a single shot. Damn, the power was too strong. I was going to play around 10%.

"... sho, winner, second!"

When the game is over, the ground is restored as if nothing had happened. The game specifications seem to be the same in this world. A quick glance at Dean revealed that the crotch was wet. Even though it is virtual, isn't the physiological phenomenon of the main body virtual? Or did you come out now?

"Oh, I won."

On the way to the waiting room, pass in front of Sylvia and Eco, and exchange words.

"It's good!" "Surprised by Maeda" "It's too much! Is it okay?" "I don't care. "Oh, I understand, but don't overdo it." "Ok, it's okay! You're my carchan?"

I was left behind, with Sylvia's dent in her voice saying "Kah-chan ..." and the straight support of the eco.

After that, he successfully passed the second race. Now it's semi-final-I'll meet a strange enemy there.
