At the golem competition site, the
In a simulation, each side decides who is the best without destroying the other.
That's what it's about. Weapons and armor are made to order. The weapons are custom-made, made of specially treated wood.

Mr. Tolf, I assume you have some kind of armor as well?
Of course. The armor is made of specially treated leather that changes color when the weapon strikes it.
I see. So if it gets colored, you lose?

That's the short version. Very simple rules.
Also, magic is not forbidden, but you don't get points for it.
So it's a contest of martial arts?

"I see. Interesting rule. ...... is to give priority to martial arts over magic."
I understood that if you get a blow, you lose.

"...... might use magic to check them when the situation calls for it."
Jin heard this and tried to envision the battle in his own way.
"But magic won't color the armor, will it? ...... What kind of principle does it have?"

I am also impressed by the interesting settings of armor and weapons.
"Are they impregnated with chemicals like pressure-sensitive paper? No, but it would leave marks even if it were not a weapon, so I wonder if the chemicals soaked in the weapon and the armor react with each other to produce a color.
Jin tried to imagine a mechanism that would make the hit points colored.

Now, the mock battle is about to begin! First, the preliminary round! A group battle of many against many, divided into four blocks! The winner of the preliminary round will participate in the main tournament!
Since there are 38 competitors, 9 or 10 of them will be fighting at the same time.

In short, a battle royal, Jin imagined.
"...... In that case, I think the theory was to attack the strongest opponent by gathering the rest of the competitors together."
Erza responded to Jin's soliloquy.

"I think that's not fair.
"Yeah, that's one way of looking at it, but it's not a battle between knight and knight. It's not a one-on-one battle, it's a survival game.
"......It's true, maybe."

Erza is not familiar with this kind of martial arts, so it is not surprising that she has such an opinion.
"It's more of a strategy, or a tactic, if you will.
"I understand the theory, but..."

The point seems to be, why did they take such a way to decide who is the "strong one"?
From that point of view, it is not hard to understand.
"Indeed. In a battle royal, there is a possibility that the strongest person will be eliminated.

"That's what I mean."
Since this was a policy of the tournament management, Jin could not comment on it.

While we were talking, the preliminary round of the battle royal was underway.
The battles that took place in the area that was divided into circles were not in the form that Jin had expected, but were simple melee battles.

In the third group of qualifiers, the last two remaining competitors are engaged in a fierce battle!
It's a great battle between the two finalists in the third qualifying round! Neither of them is giving an inch!
In the eyes of the MC and the commentators, they may have looked evenly matched, but from Jin's point of view, there was still plenty of power left in the hands of Altkrieger.

Jin was convinced that his guess was correct.
(Priority is given to learning the opponent's techniques.)

Number 41 was trying to learn as much as possible of his opponent's fighting techniques while cutting corners to the extent that he would not lose.
As he had expected, the fighting behavior of No. 41 was visibly changing compared to that of the beginning of the preliminary round.
At first, he was serious at best and inflexible at worst, but as he eliminated one or two opponents, his moves improved rapidly.

I can say that I became able to cope with irregular attacks.
Or should I say that they have learned to respond outside of the manual?
I guess we are learning after all.

Erza also mentioned her observations.
"Yes, that's true.

Jin thought that it might not even be an endoskeleton.
In the case of an endoskeleton, the range of motion of limbs and other parts is determined by the joint settings.

The same is true for an exoskeleton.
