"That's it! Winner, Lucas!

Which is faster than my proclamation. Cheering from the audience.

The games between the instructors went on unconnected, and in Game Three, our Lucas victory. There's nothing special about winning or losing, but I'm glad my buddies won.

As a referee, I treat you equally.

"Then it's time to study. Both of you, please explain. Let's start with Lucas."

"Okay. My weapon was first introduced, but it's this hammer. Sometimes they say it's heavy and poorly handled, but as you've seen, that kind of makes up enough if you put your arms on and train. And most importantly, if you put it in clean, it's powerful."

"I got bounced off every shield, too."

The other swordsman I add with a gentle laugh. I was cleverly fighting with a one-handed wooden sword on the right and a shield on the left, but once I received Lucas' hammer directly from the front, I felt bad all at once.

Even if you say shields and bites, the types vary. But a one-handed gun like this one doesn't take the opponent's attack. Evade enemy attacks. It's for recirculation.

The shield that failed to do so and took the hammer directly from the front is lightly snagged, and the left hand with it doesn't seem to be well powered.

The two tales of teaching the characteristics of the weapon as they reflect on the game are over, and they speak up at a time to be replaced with the next participant.

"Carmine, are your hands okay? Are you hurt?"

"Pretty paralyzed. But there's no pain, so you'll be fine."

Hammers feature weight and power. So unlike the other participants, Lucas and this guy had a game played with a hammer and a shield that we've been using for a long time.

"Fine, but don't push it. You should go to Lyoma for once. They'll do the healing magic. The slime."

They said it just before the first game started, but they were bringing heel slime.

I said I'd leave the treatment of the injury to you instead of keeping the magic warm in preparation for the game, and I'm still putting it on my head.

"By the way, it's free for the duration of the course."

"I'm glad about that. At this time, I'd like to see your whole body... but I'm afraid if you do something extra and find a strange disease..."

"No, if you're sick, you'd better find him soon."

The only thing that can be cured by healing magic is injury. And do you have any idea what a strange disease is?

"Rochew! I'm ready!

"Hey, I'm coming!

Are you ready for the next game?

"Bye. I want you to take a good look."

Break up with Carmine and go back to referee work.

"So... Lucy the Wizard vs. Bosco the Double Swordsman! Game 4, go!

The cheer that goes up again. But...

"Whoa, whoa!? Ohhhhhh!?!

A wild scream mixed with cheers silences students.

Bosco, the former boss, had sinked his body into the ground and had asked him to let go of his sword.

There's no way I'm doing this of my own free will.

If you look at your opponent Lucy, you know what I mean... he was looking at me with a shiny face.

"Uh... that's it. Lucy wins this game!

Declared, but now no cheer returns.

Instead it conveys the twitching of a student who doesn't know what happened.

Let's start with Bosco... because I went to pull a few people out, okay? I don't seem to be injured for now, and the dirt will work out if I ask Lyoma later.

So is the treatment, but you're the guy who works plain on the back... him. I work fast, and oh it's easy and helpful to have one.

"Lucy, description"

"Yes, sir. Attention! Um, for now, you know I did this situation, right?

I proclaimed victory. All the students are nodding too.

"And I'm a“ wizard. "Naturally, this result was also caused by magic. Do you have any idea what magic you used?

"Soil magic!

"It's water magic!

"But the grown-ups are buried all the way to their necks, and it's dirt magic, right?

"Look closely at the ground. I soaked the ground with water magic."

Is it more or less an opinion about the magic of earth or water? Not wrong, but that's not enough.

"Is it composite magic using both soil and water?

Whoa! What is it, Lyoma? Mixed naturally with students.

"You're right, Lyoma! It would be a bit of advanced technology, but magic can mix multiple attributes as well as one. That's compound magic. It's hard to use, but it expands the range of things you can do with magic.

What I used, for example, was the combined magic of soil and water, also known as mud magic. It's a nickname because it doesn't have the attribute of “mud," but as you can see, it can turn the ground into a marsh close to muddy or bottomless. "

"This guy got ready to use it before the game started, and he dropped it in the swamp that made Bosco at the same time as the start signal."

Bosco uses his strength, speed, to fight steadfastly. Not that I'm weak, but this time I was totally crushed to my advantage with mud.

"Concentration is important to use magic, so it's really easy to be defenseless just before you shoot. So the child who aspires to be a wizard is to make enough time first. It's basically a way to avoid being approached by enemies. You can learn the art of melee combat."

The instruction is correct. Just say greed, and I think he'll figure out a few more ways to do it.

Among the instructors this time, the young man after Lyoma was crushed in a very unpopular way. You're depressed back there, aren't you?

Well, I'll be studying Bosco... but I'll follow up later.

Well, then it's the earliest and last game next.

Instead of two, Lyoma and Howard came forward.

"Ready?

"I'm good. What about Lyoma?"

"It's okay."

Howard is a spurious spear with a cloth wrapped around the tip of a stick shredded from a branch. Lyoma has a bow in one hand and a larger arrow barrel on her shoulder...

"What's in it?"

"I'm replacing the god-headed arrow."

Jintouya?

When he showed me the arrow, the tip had been replaced by something like a hammer.

"You call this Zintouya in the locality of Lyoma."

"Right. It may not be very common here. I'm supposed to make it out of wood, but this time it was sudden, so it was soil magic."

"It's enough not to stab. Nice to meet you, Lyoma."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Howard."

Before the game, but there's soothing air between them.

Regardless of Howard, who's always easy, and Lyoma's not nervous either?

"As a pastime for the celebratory seats at the end of the year, until a few years ago, we showed our moves in public. I'm ashamed there's no other art I can do in those seats. Also, at this year's inaugural festival, I got to know a sworddancer and put him on stage."

"I see."

"Ah, but you don't have much experience in games... things were always against you when you showed them to people"

"It's the same thing to do in public. Don't worry, shoot as much as you want!

"Yes!"

Lyoma, who replied well, rushes to the starting position.

In order to emphasize the advantages of the bow so that it is easy to understand, it is decided to have the distance cleared up by a large 20 m.

Then I'll go too.

"Nice to meet you.... Howard"

"Hmm? What's wrong?

"Don't be alarmed, okay? I hear Rheuma's got arms inside."

"Oh, is that the story? I know, I know."

Only slightly Howard tightened his expression. He always looks light and hellish, but he's the man to do it when he does it that way. My heart would be tighter than my expression.

"Ready!?

Final confirmation to the two facing each other in the starting position.

"Anytime!

"It's okay!

Then let's get started.

"Game 5!

As a referee, shortly after I stood up in temper.

"Begin - Huh!?

abruptly. And surely.

I felt more body and skin than my head in the air of a place that was about to crush me into something so painful.
