Having defeated Mr. Lynn with his militant moves, I was flown into a modest room with no one.
Why isn't anybody here? We're all going to the bathroom...... or something, and the interior looks similar, but is it a separate room?
You don't have any particular instructions, and you mean wait here.
It's just a waste of time waiting, and I guess I'll even muscle it.
That's how I was abs - an uncle in thick clothes appeared in front of me.
He seems like a strong uncle.
Of course, I'm not just an uncle.
The fact that he's been transferred here means he's the winner of the second game.
That's my next opponent!
"Ho. Were you the one who won?"
My uncle had abs. He looked at me and laughed. Strong side, but good personality seeps out.
"Do you know me?
"Absolutely. My qualifying venue was the third arena."
"Sorry about that time"
I just apologized. 'Cause I blew this one up.
"I have nothing to apologize for. It's been a great opportunity to think about the world."
An uncle who laughs in a flash. Don't make me feel any easier when you say that...
"Hey, I'm Ash. Are you..."
"You're late for a name. I'm Sage."
"Mr. Sage, why are you wearing thick clothes?
Ask what you were wondering.
Mr. Sage was dressed like Mr. Noir when he visited the northernmost ruins.
It's too thick for cold, and Mr. Seige is sweaty.
I don't think you wear thick without meaning, and maybe the aim is to withstand the heat?
You can build your mental strength by putting up with heat.
I mean, Mr. Sage is so strong. It's bad enough to train during the main battle. They must usually be training more harshly!
"You'll see why I'm wearing thick."
The answer to thick clothes is actually to try and have fun!
"I look forward to fighting Mr. Sage!
"Welcome. I know how strong you are, but I can't beat you. Alsace... my son gave it to me, I swear to God on this muffler."
... what?
"Muffler......?
"Yes. Hand knitting."
And hand-knitted!?
"So, I got a hand-knitted muffler... was it a gift?
You should have built your mental strength, but I get upset. I mean, we still have to stretch, but I honestly can't be happy.
Anyway, for Mr. Sage, the muffler...
"I've been so busy working, I couldn't get Alsace to take care of him. I don't know how to deal with my son anymore. That's why I decided to enter the tournament in hopes of inspiring you to talk to Alsace. Then give me a muffler. This is my amulet."
Amulet, after all!
"Was it? You're a good son."
Dusty episode, but this got you in trouble.
Looks sturdier than Mr. Lynn's necklace, but my camouflage is going to be able to make it into two critical pieces.
And I've decided to do everything in my power.
If the all-powerful kamaitachi were a clean hit, the hand-knitted muffler would be two straight.
I'd like to avoid that... but I'd also like to try the Wizard's debut early.
"I owe it to the amulet to be able to get here. I'm many times happier that my son gave me a muffler than I was able to compete in this game."
... but if you think about it, you don't have to put it on the scale.
Mufflers are two treasures in the world for Mr. Sage, but I have two more debut chances just today.
"That's why I'm leaving this muffler behind."
What!?
"Are you leaving me!?
"If I fight you properly, I can see you blurring.... Are you so happy to leave the muffler behind?
My feelings seemed to be on my face.
"To tell the truth, I'm glad. Um... I was worried that it would get blurry."
When I revealed myself, Mr. Sage cheered.
"Hugh, you're so sweet to care about Muffler even though it's a serious battle."
When I say that, I look serious at the pretense.
"I recognised your strength in your current words. You can afford to care about them because it's strong evidence. - But I can't lose!
"Yes! Let's fight each other as hard as we can!
Mr. Sage, strong and gentle, deserves his debut opponent!
I looked forward to being transferred to the arena as I grew familiar.
◆
Where the winners of Game 3 and Game 4 were flown to the modest room, me and Mr. Sage were transferred to the arena.
The audience will welcome us with applause and cheer.
I can't believe I could make my debut on a stage like this... you wouldn't believe me if I told you the moment Grandpa Maurice revealed that it was actually a militant training.
That's not if you're stingy!
As a wizard, you're a hell of an amateur, so you need to keep your mind shut!
"Come on! Game five waiting for you! It's Sage and Ash who fight! Earlier in the game, Sage overwhelmed Marinero with a brilliant operation! Its twitching and chasing battle was just the hunter (hunter) himself!
Whoa! Mr. Sage, you prevailed!
I'm looking forward to fighting more and more!
'Opposing Ash has overwhelmed Lynn in an unprecedented way yet! For the first time in that battle, I'm just a martial arts god, not a samurai!
I've been promoted from a samurai to a martial arts god, but what I want to be is a great wizard!
Decorate your debut in glorious fashion in this match and we'll take you one step forward to the Great Wizard!
"Whether the hunter wins or the martial god wins - see how it ends in your eyes! Game 5 featured then - start the game!!
The signal of initiation echoes as a stormy cheer provokes.
"Yuku, Ash!
The moment Mr. Seige completed the rune, his feet froze with a pimple and sound, and in no time the arena turned into an ice world.
"I'm out! Iced World of Sage Athletes (Ice World)! We are safe because we are outside the boundaries, but within the boundaries we are transformed into a land of extreme cold! Can Ash stand this cold!?
As cold as it gets, it's hotter than usual!
I'm in a state of neglect of changing temperatures, and more importantly, my heart is burning!
"Come on, let's go, buddy!
This is our sunny stage!
"Huh, huh, huh. Waste!
Removing the magic wand (Withers Rod) from the nostalgia, Mr. Sage laughed.
"I can't draw a proper rune because my hands are scratching in this cold weather! More!"
Shh!
Mr. Seige moved smoothly to even ice skate.
Those are... skate shoes!
I thought you had a thick bottom, but you had a bunk structure!
"Huh, huh, huh. Even if I could finish the rune, your attack wouldn't hit me!
Mr. Sage slips through the ice like he flirts with me.
Before that smooth move, I couldn't draw a rune.
I can't draw a rune because of my hands.
Your feet are so tight, you can't set a target!
If I had a lot of magic, I'd have a series of kamaitachi, but I can't.
You have to set your aim firmly in order to make up your mind with a single blow!
"Come on, I'll twitch and sharpen your strength!
Mr. Sage draws a rune as he glides around me.
I have to set my aim and draw a rune early, too!
"Slow down!"
I was about to slip and I stuck around.
Zun!!!!!!!
The earth broke.
"Huff - Wow"
Mr. Seiju, who was slippery, disappears so that he can be sucked into the crack.
Wait a minute!
Don't go, Mr. Sage!
'Hey, what the hell!? There's been a crack within the junction, and Sage has fallen! Who the hell would have expected this to happen!? Ash player, you surprised us once again!!
I'm the most amazed!
But not if you're surprised!
"Mr. Sage!! Are you all right!? Mr. Sage!!!!
I called out loud, and I heard a ghoulish, disconnected scream.
Didn't I stab you in the stomach with your current call - there's no such thing!?
Damn it! Please stay safe!
I jumped in the ground.
Find Mr. Sage and pull him up to the ground.
Mr. Sage was turning his eyes around.
"Ooh, this is it! Sage, I'm losing my mind! So this battle, it's Ash's win!!
Wow, I was relieved as I cheered.
Because I intend to decorate my debut with glamour, but once again, I've decided to compete with militant moves.
"... but that's not the end of it."
I'm sorry I couldn't fight Mr. Sage, but today alone we have two more debut chances!
You should be able to make your debut gloriously next time!
That's what I told myself when I was cheered enough to melt the ice.
