Country Competition Final Qualification.
The combination draw was held the day after we arrived in the magic kingdom.
Signs of powerful people drifting through the venue.
"Are you going to fight these people from now on..."
This was the first time I had participated in an individual magic battle competition.
I've never been to a domestic tournament, and I'm far less experienced than other contestants.
The first tournament is an international tournament.
I can't believe it will be the final qualifier that will inspire the nation's prestige.
Inevitably, the evaluation of me seems to be quite severe.
In addition to being of civilian origin, she has a shallow career, so she is perceived as a partner who can easily get low ratings.
That's great!
Until you turn it upside down!
For this reason, it is more convenient that it is viewed low.
Much easier to fight than to be wary of.
He appreciated his ability to compete. I was given a choice.
Let's prepare carefully so that we can pay you back with even a little better results.
"The first match was against Alessandro Volterra." The most powerful wizard of the Duchy of Brandar. I'm an individual combat specialist with a high level of gravity magic. Although the three wizards of the magic kingdom who were named the best in this final qualification are one step inferior, they are said to have enough power to advance to this war. "
Ask Leticia to share information for the match, and proceed with the measures.
"I have a lot of experience, and there are few parts that can be called holes. One thing is that when releasing magic continuously at maximum power, the surgical accuracy tends to decrease slightly."
There was also a slight decrease in procedural accuracy, which was described as the only weak point.
It's about details that I've never thought of.
The more I knew, the better the opponent.
But that's why it burns.
Best of all, I was able to hit my favorite magic with all my might.
When I think of the days of the magician when I was told that I was useless and only allowed to do chores, I couldn't be happier.
First day of the final qualifying round.
I stand in a field packed with full spectators.
◇◇◇
First day of the final qualifying round of the National Competition.
The venue was filled with spectators from all over the neighboring country.
In a magical country with a strong interest in magic, national battles are a national event.
The crowd was also mixed with wizards from various countries in charge of reconnaissance.
Analyze your opponent's information for weaknesses and habits in order to support your country's representation.
"Next game, Alessandro Volterra."
Known as the Duchy of Brandar's strongest and a rare user of gravity magic, he was one of the most vigilant wizards from around the world.
In individual magic battles, experience and number of venues greatly influence the battle situation.
In that regard, rare spells with few users are difficult to cope with and can easily lead to difficult battles.
"The condition is also extremely good. In the past two weeks, I've sent nine of my practitioners to the hospital."
It's just a result of being called the greatest wizard in the history of the Duke.
After they nodded, they looked at the little wizard facing each other.
Noel Springfield is the opponent.
It seems that in the kingdom they are talking as up-and-coming wizards.
"This is the first time that I have participated in an individual magic battle tournament, not just an international tournament. More than pure magic technology, it requires preparation and experience specific to individual battles. Well, I can see the results."
In addition to the scarcity of experience in individual combat, it can be said that there is little chance of winning if the opponent is one of the most vigilant wizards from various countries.
"It's going to be a one-way game."
It's a sight to see how many minutes you have.
◇◇◇
Immediately after the start of the match, the Duchy's most powerful wizard activated a gravitational magic that crushed matter in a fixed space with destructive gravity.
Gravity Collapse (Gravity)
The powerful magic of an instant fatal injury if hit.
It instantly activates a complex magic ceremony without chanting, making the opponent feel different from an ordinary person in just one moment.
Intrinsic Time Acceleration (Spell Boost)
Accelerates time and dodges attacks.
It's devastating, but if we don't hit it--
But my thoughts were soon betrayed.
Tempesta
Range attack magic that smashes the ground around you with destructive gravity and releases its fragments as bullets.
A rain of incoming bullets.
A range attack covering all of my perimeter.
I couldn't avoid it at a pure speed, and the wind magic managed to offset it.
But I can't stop it.
A fragmented bullet that blurs the cheeks.
Wind magic makes it difficult to deal with attacks using mass objects.
Accurate situational awareness.
Attacks using a compatible advantage.
It is pushed into the edge of the field little by little.
(This person is strong...!)
The difference in power is obvious.
An onslaught I can't handle with my processing power.
However, I know how to deal with such situations.
Don't panic. Calm down.
Calmly, from what you can do, one by one--
◆◆◆
For Alessandro Volterra, the greatest wizard of the Duchy of Brandar, the little wizard facing him in the first battle was by no means a vigilant opponent.
“I don't think Noel Springfield had anything to do with this first fight.”
The scouting team's point of view was a word that no countermeasures were necessary.
However, he believed that a slight slack would lead directly to defeat because he was such a subordinate opponent.
The way I entered the first fight had a big impact on the subsequent battles.
After a full day of preparation, he analyzes the small wizard facing each other.
(Young people have been getting quite a lot of training. I had a lot of magic power. However, there are many holes)
She seemed to be much easier to fight than she expected when she actually confronted her opponent as she prepared herself with a high estimate.
Immediately after the start of the match, the speed of her [natural time acceleration (spell boost)] was also assumed.
No other wizard can handle it, but I can handle it myself.
(Not as vigilant as I thought.)
But still, he tightens his head.
The heart gap leads directly to defeat.
It is because you are an inferior opponent that you must strive for a guaranteed victory in the battle with the highest probability.
(There is also a possibility that the backhand is concealed. It's not a good idea to take a risk once and for all. Gradually and steadily shredding the difference in ground power)
The magic of gravity and the bullets of fragments that she unleashed clearly outweighed her wind magic in terms of precision.
Enemies are slowly losing health.
There's no need to rush into a fight.
(Push in securely like this to win safely-)
It was a moment when I tried to create a situation in which I could increase my magical output.
An unidentified chill that hits the whole body.
A sign of alien magic that I have never experienced before.
(Increased rate of fire...!?)
A magic formula that unfolds at an unusual speed and speed.
Despite a compatible disadvantage, its activation speed is accelerating to a point where it can offset the attack.
What the hell is going on?
Feeling something cold in his spine, he thinks.
(This is not just a guy...!)
