"Participating in a magic mock game, is that it?

I'll check out Secretary Bodley's proposal.

"Was it difficult? Of course, we will take measures to prevent Leticia from getting hurt in the unlikely event."

"What do you think of the mock game format?

"Our magician may not be a one-on-one opponent with Retichea, and there may be no point in training. So I'd like to give you two and ask you to play a mock game in the" flag picking "format."

It's a common mock game format.

Opponents face each other about 30 meters apart, each holding a flag next to their position.

It was better to hold a magic meeting without moving from the spot and drop the flag first.

... I miss it.

I used to stroke oniisama... as part of my training, and I used to do a good practice game.

Let's play one of the mock games once in a while, and don't let your guess get dull.

"... I see. As a precaution, I will look at the battlefield of the mock game and think about whether to accept it."

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

As Secretary Bodley explains, he guides you outside the Magic Bureau building.

I arrived near where I first met Lydius.

The ground was flat, like an open space for a mock game.

"This will be the emblem that will create the boundary."

On both ends of the open space, a box-shaped crest was installed about one meter on one side.

Boundaries are typically a technique that creates clear light walls and barriers.

High defense, unobstructed vision, and convenient, but light attribute magic was not well studied.

Even if we create a boundary that covers a few people for a short time, we're going to need a big crest....

"The emblem that creates this boundary is quite small. Pretty good, isn't it expensive? The magic bureau here was made, wasn't it?

"It was designed by Lidius. He's not a magician, but he's a magician."

Wow. This is by Mr. Lidius, too.

Usually, it seemed like a lot of skill to make the emblem as small as a light vehicle.

"How's the strength?

"If it's medium magic, it's designed to withstand two shots in a direct hit."

It is against the rules to attack the opponent directly during a simulation match.

However, beyond the use of magic, there is a danger of aftershocks and stray bullets.

It was safe and secure to tie the boundaries with Mr. Lidius' crest.

"Thank you for your explanation. Let's get ready."

Say thank you to Secretary Bodley and head towards the edge of the void.

The boundaries are about three meters square around the emblem.

Apparently, they set up a flag about the height of a person, using equipment just outside the boundaries.

"The flag is here and here, and I stand there, and the opponent stands there...."

I looked out at the battlefield and checked my position.

If you do this, you'll miss it more.

When I was in my homeland, I was doing magic training with oniisama.

There are almost all kinds of simulated games without boundaries.

Fire, thunder, lightning... the magic of cancerous flying is burning in my eyes.

If you make a mistake, it's a fatal wound, or has your hair actually burned many times...?

"Concentrate, concentrate..."

Shake your head and bring your awareness back to the current mock game.

No, no. Let's not immerse ourselves in memories.

When I inadvertently remember my training with oniisama, it's going to come out in my dreams tonight.

... Oniisama, part one and part two are very spartan.

I decided to go to the mock game in front of me with all my might, because it would be bad if the results were known to be tragic.

Are you ready, Mr. Leticia?

A loud voice was thrown from the other side of the open space.

The opponent, Mr Olt.

Mr. Olt has a strong impression of trouble, but one or two of the young magicians in the magic bureau.

In other words, he was a pretty high ranking man among the magicians in this country.

The other opponent, Verias, has also been told that he is a talented middle-aged man with magic drills.

They are both colleagues of the Magic Bureau, so perhaps the collaboration is weak.

"Yes, we're ready. I'm going to activate the boundary."

Round magic stones were inserted into the emblem in place.

When the emblem trembles slightly, the wall of light rises in all directions without a sound.

I stand behind the wall of light, and just behind it is Lucian.

Much closer than usual.

It was because the boundaries were limited.

Hmm, I guess I miss this distance, too.

It was a day to remember a long time ago.

It's a little too close as a subordinate, but Lucien was always close when he played the simulation with oniisama.

It's not a time to be even more embarrassed now, but it's been a long time since I've missed the distance.

"... oniisama's training was tough, but I didn't hate it."

Lucian also remembers the past, whispering.

"It was so close that I enjoyed working for Miss Leticia."

With Lucian murmuring on his back, he turned to his opponents, Olt.

After checking on both of us, referee Secretary Bodley raises his right arm.

"Five, four, three, two, one. Introduction."

The game begins with the command.

First, I decided to shoot the magic of the fire attribute that I am good at.

Throwing arrows. Burn, red and red. Run, fly, go to the sky. "

The chanting is cut into three bars.

It's called "Scarf Arrows", a medium magic technique on the sixth ladder.

The flame was thrown as an arrow, flying to the opponent's flag.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The aim was precise, but it looks like we can't drop the flag with just one shot.

"Sing fast, what are you afraid of now?"

Mr. Olt was screaming, but he was rapidly casting a spell.

I deduced the magic formula from the words of the spell and dealt with it.

It's a technique of water attributes and the fifth ladder.

The water bullets that flew at our flag were slammed down with flame arrows.

While confirming the safety of the flag, I flew my gaze to Mr. Beleaus.

"Golem...!

While I was dealing with Mr. Olt, it appears that Mr. Beleaus was exercising his magic.

The magic ceremony of the ground attribute and the big seven stairs, it was a magic that produced earthlings that moved freely for a short period of time.

It's the same size as a human. Instead of moving slowly, it was characterized by being sturdy.

Mr. Beleaus, Mr. Olt, and Golem.

I will explore how to deal with it.

It's a mock game with no penalties even if you lose...

I don't want to win any more than I do. Oniisama was beating me up.
