The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start over.

Hien Likkai. Fifties, male.

A swordsman named from an island country in the East. Long gray hair may be due to a mix of gray hair. The outfit also reminds me of a Japanese outfit somewhere. The weapon is a knife.

"Some people say they get slaughtered during blinking."

The wall between the waiting area and the audience, elbowed on its railings, said Vaud, master of the Adventurer's Guild.

"There are stories that say it's not magic. When Hien waves the knife, the invisible blade cleaves the opponent. In fact, the majority of the guys who hit him at the martial arts tournament have been knocked down by a blow early in the start, rather than jumping into time"

Against the wall, I hear from Mr. Vaud about the swordsman Hien. By the way, there's Yuna next to Vaud, but there's no deputy guild chief Lassia. The Dark Elf beauty is at work in the Adventurer's Guild.

In response to the question whether the guild leader would not work, he said that watching martial arts competitions was part of his job. Participating adventurers' assessment reviews, strength inspections, scouts, etc.

Besides, I think. The invisible blade, the magic... the Hien moves that derive from it...

"The Kaijus"

"Yeah?"

"Monsters are also said to be phenomena created by vacuums, but they must be wind related moves."

When it comes to a blow that actually kills people, it's a different thing from the real world deceivers. It's a world of magic. Probably exerted with properties close to magic by amplifying magic.

Yuna opened her mouth.

"Enhanced version of Airblast. Wind magic more specializing in cleavage"

"I see..."

Mr. Vaud puts his hand on his chin and looks in the direction of the dueling ground - the swordsmen ahead.

"Whatever it is, it penetrates that it is a lesser degree of defensive magic. A protective pendant, and if you eat one shot, it's almost a red line with one blow."

"Sounds like they're just going to call me a winning candidate."

I'll put my arms together.

"Hien's been in the tournament a few times, hasn't he? Any experience in winning?

"No. That's why this time, I suppose, you're willing to"

"Do you have an opponent who can't win while dealing with the Decepticons..."

"It seems compatible. Until now, Ruin was often held back by the Holy Knight you defeated."

The name of the Holy Knight that I won against came up and I smile unexpectedly.

"I'm under the impression that I'm struggling with a well-armed opponent after being stiffened to a bee. In Ruin's case, the shield he had completely prevented the deceivers. In a lined shield, it's usually turned into two."

I wonder if it was the white fairy shield, the one that Ruin had.... Can my White Orihalcon shield withstand the Decepticons? I think it would be fine if I thought about it normally, but I haven't tried anything...

I have an idea.

They'll shoot the caveats. It'll mean striking in before Hien, or sending a blow from those caveats before attacking them.

Do you want to use a Demon Stone pistol (Thunder Barrett)? Wouldn't that bullet speed make for a good fight?

But if I point the gun at you, how will Hien handle it?

Some opponents would have used magic to fight at a distance before. If the power of the Decepticons is almost equal to a single blow to death, there is a chance that they will prioritize the attack with high strike power. If Thunder Barrett's blow can't take him down, all the more so.

I turn my gaze to the other side of the waiting area. Hien over there was looking at me again.

I've behaved as an anonymous newbie, but if Hien had been aware of Ruin, he'd have seen how I behaved, too, who was that opponent. This swordsman will also be thinking about how to defeat it.

……

A swordsman who handles swords, but by using the 'Kaijus', their range will reach the entire dueling range. Can you disable this, is one of the points. If you can prevent it with White Orihalcon's shield, that's all you can do to reduce Hien's attacker by one.

If the caveats don't work, Hien will have to challenge the melee. but he is a swordsman said to be a swordsman. Grab the knife, probably un ten years. I have no desire to be able to win by meeting someone like that.

If so, I can say that avoiding melee with Hien is a pattern that increases your chances of winning. Set up a shootout, an advantage as a wizard to your swordsman opponent. Escape to an unreachable position, but appeal to aggressiveness by attacking.

White Orihalcon's sword has been lost in the Battle of Reele. but we throw away melee, so we weave magic to embody the weapon, its projectile attacks and magic. Use visible weapons and unseen magic simultaneously to attack in numbers.

If you're a warrior in line, you shouldn't have one now, but your opponent is a swordsman. If you have the ability to see or feel magic, for example, invisible magic can also be avoided.... Is this my overestimation? Or are we still looking too small?

I realize what I'm dressed for.

Equipment made of white orihalcon. Looks like a knight. It is acceptable for a student of the School of Magic Knights to use magic, but is it okay to fulfill it...?

I just thought of the magic so strong - I remembered that I was already in a game with Reele and my scalp was peeling off. Yeah, it feels better now.

But that's not why it would be useless to refrain from using magic that looks flashy. Let's camouflage low-level magic while secretly using big magic, or something.

And you're getting a little sloppy thinking.

Doesn't show much flashy magic, defeats Hien, so.... I don't feel like I'm strangling myself.

"Master...?

Because I'm silent, I've turned my eyes to Yuna, who seems worried. I walked away from the wall I was bringing.

"It came together. They'll come somehow."

"I hope so"

That's what Yuna, my apprentice, told me, and I just waved and answered.

The referee stands on the duel ground. Finally, the semi-final curtain is about to be cut and dropped. The audience also takes their seats, and the stirring grows.

'Soon, the semi-finals will begin!

A voice by loud magic echoes into the arena. - Oh, come on, are we finally getting live?

"The first game, defeating one of the winning candidates and counted Saint Ruin, defeated the good enemies one after the other, the craziest of the Games right now! Amazing new knight, Jin, Tokitumo!

Cheers fill the venue rather than previous ratios. It's a big difference from when I was completely anonymous in World War I. I slowly ascend the dueling stairs.

"Against, the winning candidate head. Turn it into an ancient haughty swordsman, and turn it into a swordsman who triumphs over the path of the sword and triumphs over the battlefield! Hien eh likkai!

A groundy voice rose out of the guest seat. Exactly. Participants in a contest of war. That's not half as popular.

Swordsman Hien comes up the stairs opposite me. It does not possess a successful stature, often standard, but the countless wrinkles engraved on its harsh face, sharp glances, scatter only signs and bring together difficult air to approach.

I thought there were people who could kill with their gaze alone.

Me and Hien confront each other on the dueling field.

Lord Kenhao stops his hand on the verge of putting his hand on the knife pattern. Statue of abode.

On the other hand, I use the White Orihalcon shield on my left hand, and on my right hand, condense my magic… more condense to embody a cavalry spear (lance) type weapon. Even after it takes shape, it gathers even more magic.

Lean forward on each other. attitude that can be penetrated at any time with acceleration. The referee raised his hand.

"Begin!
