Tesfia and Alice were engaged in a fierce battle. That's what it was, to the point that the audience was watching with their mouths wide open.
　Everyone must have felt that they've peeled back from the time of the Seven Nations Magical Friendship Tournament.
　Of course, the cooperation between the two of them is what makes it all the more remarkable.

　The girl who called herself Minaris took it in stride.
　The water blade that had the strength to counter the AWR with its actual state was not even allowed to cut each other properly as the blade was spinning like a torrent.
　The moment the blades touched each other, they were played.

　It is a very important thing to know that you have to be able to use it in a very short period of time.
　The difference between an object and a liquid is the amount of magic power it contains, and it easily swallowed the ice mass.

　Immediately afterwards, a spine of water current spinning at high speed from the water wall to the Tesfia attacked. It surpassed the liquid, reminiscent of the strength and destructive power that can be scraped away.
　I immediately put my sword to the ground and built an ice cliff (ice wall) to prevent it. It was more versatile than when he used it in the tournament.

　However, the distorted ice wall that was built to wrap around the water flow was consequently meaningless.
　When the water current hit the wall as if it had a will, it split into two halves from the edge of the [Ice Cliff (Ice Wall)] to the Tesphere. I aim as the spines of water cross.

(----!　(That wasn't a one shot down.)

　I'm not talking about grinding. If it wasn't a mock match, there would be a huge hole in his body.

　Tesfia made her body stand upside down on the ground with the hilt of the sword she had stabbed into the ground as an axis and made her body dance in the air. The moment the moment his momentum reached its peak and his feet turned to the heavens, he pulled out his sword and descended toward the top of the Ice Wall.
　And Tesfia wasn't the only one to dodge the crossed water currents.
　Alice, who had been aiming at the plane from behind, was impending on Minaris while evading to the side by the time Tesfia escaped into the air.

　It was easy to see what each other would do next.
　This pincer attack is effective because it's two against one.

　Tesfia, who reestablished her regime in the air, kicked the top of the ice cliff (ice wall) as a foothold and spun around with her sword swinging broadly at the upper level.

　Minaris turned her cold eyes to Tesfia, who clearly jumped diagonally upwards, but the next moment the corners of her mouth lifted.
　This was because a giant ice sword was building up after her sword.
　Enough time. As far as I can see, the power would be tremendous. At this point, I have to discard the feeling that I've seen this before.

　Well, I wondered how I would receive it.

　It's easy to evade, but you'll also need another opponent coming from the side. This is a pincer attack. I'm not sure if evading is an adult's choice.
　The water blade that grows in one hand dissipates while scattering the residue of magic power. And then a bandaged hand peeked out from inside the embers.

　In this place, Tesfia and Alice had surrendered to the elation that rose from within. The joy of fighting, even if it's not the exchange of lives, moves through your body as a moderate tension.
　That's why they were able to meet expectations with all their might.

　The ice sword, which is coming at you from behind the Tesfia while exhaling cold air at a terrific speed, changes its appearance even more.
　The surface layer cracks open as the majestic towering ice sword cracks itself. A mystical ice sword. It felt divine, as if it existed only in the world of myths and fairy tales.

　And the sharper blade accelerated its speed while freezing the air.

''Perpetual Ice Block Flashing Blade [Zeppel]

　At the same time as it was swung down from the apex in one fell swoop without changing its trajectory - Alice sprinted while keeping her posture low.
　I'm not going to miss the opportunity to take advantage of it, even if it's avoided, so I won't remove my gaze from Minaris even for a moment.

　And with perfect timing, Alice draws the golden spear. It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you can get to the point where the blade tip comes to your face, and when it's fixed, all of the magic power goes through the handle and concentrates on the blade tip.
　This is the new magic that Ars had prepared for me after receiving Alice's suggestion.
　It's a magic that was originally hinted at at the Seven Nations Magical Friendship Tournament. Alice had suggested that if she could do this, it would expand the range of her tactics and added it to her own training. When she came back, she discussed it with Ars, and she was able to incorporate it into the magic she was devising just in time. So although it was still a magic in training, for once I did not consider the possibility of failure.

　It would be the same. Since it wasn't a match where my life was on the line, I had nothing to fear. This was a match that was intended to be a challenge from the beginning.

　Alice clearly doesn't care if she's behind Tesfia's Zeppelins, and builds up her magic structure - there's no point in being behind now.

　Although the distance was at a position where it was impossible to reach, Alice vigorously thrusts out a shining golden spear.

''Light God Penetrating [Sirisleit]''

　A flash of light protrudes from the tip of the blade.
　It was an extension of a faint stab about the size of a fist. But its speed was a blink of light - the proof of which the surgeon, Alice, knew it would reach faster than Tesfia's magic.

　She caught it completely. He was able to fight so well against such a strong enemy and win.
　It could be said that they had given their deadly strength. The two of them expressed their unbearable joy at the result as the magic was activated.

　However--.
　An ominous voice sounded in a dignified manner to overturn the ending that I was convinced of.

''The Four Tails of the Black Towering Wave (Tartarus).''

　The moment - a black liquid that gushed up from the ground.
　Four tails emerged from the bottom of the liquid. The tails that contained the long jet-black liquid spread out over the entire match field.
　The tails were connected to the inside of Minaris' robe. The black liquid vanishes the excess water as the tail takes shape, revealing its outline.

''-----!

　A moment later, a jet-black tail that seemed to expand and contract - two of them bent like a whip with tremendous speed, causing Tesfia's 【Permanent Ice Block Freezing Blade 【Zeppel】 to shatter from its midsection in an instant.

　Without the slightest resistance, so easily that it was reminiscent of a dead tree, Zeppel made the sharp crystals dance in the air, returning to the magical residue in the order they were shattered.

　Another tail followed from far behind Alice. It swept past her side as it raised its swell to remind her of a pulsating motion. It was enough to cause damage to Alice's body as a shock, even though she hadn't even touched it.
　Of course, she was unable to even capture what had happened.

　A single tail is as thick as a human torso. It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to find a way to get the best out of it.
　It's not a good idea to be able to have a good time with them. A sizzling smoke, swooshing, overflows from the gap in the mole-covered tail.

　I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to get it right, but I'm going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to get it right, I'm going to be able to get it right.

　It's the same with Tesfia. The difference in dimension, the difference in strength is more than enough damage to discourage the two people who were able to fight more than an even match not long ago and yet were confident of victory.
　The proof of this is that it's in the middle of a match and you can't react quickly enough.

　Minaris, on the other hand, had a bitter look on her face as her eyebrows knit together.
　He was inspired by the young man who was coming towards him with all his strength. I never thought I would be driven to this point by the fact that I would be challenged with a straight look in my eyes.
　At least in the decades since I called myself Ilyce, this was the first time. So I crushed it with all the strength I could muster.

　It would sound better if I said that.
　The reason why Minaris unleashed this magic is because there were few techniques to counter it head-on. In other words, it was drawn out.

　The fact that the young generation of the newly budding next generation is well nurtured almost makes my tears glands loosen up beyond my years. I have no regrets, but if I hadn't been such a criminal, would I still be an Alpha and nurture the next generation as a pioneer?

　This was the only time she was barren of illusions of such an impossible future.

　She has a reason for coming here. It's to confirm the ability of the first person who stands in the way of 【Krama】, the most powerful magician who is touted as the strongest. Even if it's a dictum, 【Krama】 is not a cohesive organization.
　I'll decide based on my own eyes. Ilyce is infiltrating this place in order to find out.
　Perhaps there was no doubt that the 1st place was included in the long-range battle near Balmes.

　How much of a price will [Clama] have to pay for the current 1st place of Alpha, who slaughtered the demons of Barmes that he himself warned against?
　Although they are a group of criminals who are as good as strangers, they have been friends for several years since the inception. I don't care who dies, but even so, as a leader of the organization, I wouldn't be able to betray them.

　There's no way she can be a hypocrite now. There was no other way left for her to fall to the point of descent. She would get her revenge and all that was left was the title of a heinous magical criminal. Of course, it was Ilyce herself who wanted it.

(So much for the farce...)

　So much for reminiscing, I suppose.
　I was beginning to immerse myself in a routine that could have been up to my feet (...) even in the water-controlling Ilyce. It was warm, but she found herself rejecting it badly.
　She couldn't go back now, because she would feel uncomfortable.

　With a glancing sideways glance, she caught sight of the person she wanted to see. The inexplicable gaze that's been watching the game for a few minutes now is from the person she's been looking for.

'I finally found him,'

　A grin twists her mouth and she turns her attention back to the game.
　She says it was interesting to kill time, that's what she thinks.

　

''You should have paid a little more attention to your surroundings.
What--

　They looked around at the surroundings she mentioned.
　However, they didn't understand the true meaning of it at all.

　In fact, Ilyce had scattered her own magic power by the rush of magic power immediately after the start of the match. Although it is forced to degrade as an information body, the magic power she released is a certain kind of magic that first kept its composition to water system magic.
　She released the information degradation of magic power on the verge of switching to the configuration of magic.
　This is a magic power that incorporates a new mutation of the information of degrading magic power as magic. In other words, it has the meaning of temporarily preventing deterioration.

　Of course, it was precisely because of this that they were able to instantly use [Four Tails of the Black Towering Wave (Tartarus)], but its use was much more different.

　It was only after actually embodying it as magic that the two of them could sense its minute magical power.

''----!

　Countless floating small soap bubble-like spheres appeared everywhere. The inside was filled to the brim with crystal clear water.
　The moment it slowly passed in front of the two of them--''Don't feel bad.

''Don't feel bad.''

　Only the sound of the girl's voice was crystal clear.

　Immediately after the soap bubbles that were floating behind her touched Tesfia and Alice, they exploded, inflating and enveloping them. They were dragged into the water and struggled inside the swollen sphere until it could easily envelop each person.
　Immediately after being fully wrapped up, the sphere floats and cannot move forward or backward in the water filled with water. It was as if they were trapped in a water balloon with no way out.

　Immediately afterwards, the action they took was to slash the surface with the AWR they were holding.
　However, there was no surface layer of water contained within the sphere, only water bouncing off the sphere and not allowing the water inside to drain out.

　On the spur of the moment, they couldn't even continue to breathe, and the leaking air bubbles trapped them both.

　The art of killing humans exists even within the training grounds.
　If you make them unable to breathe, which is one of their bodily functions, even if it is pseudo-magically generated water, they will not be subject to the damage conversion of magic power within the training grounds.

　I'm not going to be able to get it right. There is no way you can think normally when you are unable to breathe.
　The same can be said for Alice. Her golden spear had a hilt sticking out of the sphere, but it didn't change the fact that she couldn't do anything.
　If only someone could pull this hilt and pull herself out of the sphere....

　He wished for just that, holding his mouth in the water as if asking for such an unseen help.

　The two of them were in increasingly hazy vision as a large bubble finally gobbled up inside the sphere.


　Because they were the ones in charge, this agony turned into a sense of mortal danger, but no one realized the seriousness of the situation as the crowd still cheered in the auditorium.
　It wasn't until nearly a minute later - when the two of them were nearing the end of their continued breathing and their movements slowed down.

　Someone had leaked a leak, and that was the trigger. ''Isn't there something wrong with you?'' Such words subdue the heat and enter into a sober analysis.
　Seriousness slowly chills the audience's liver as the two girls struggle for oxygen.
'Hey, that's not good! Somebody!

　Such hurried words come and go.
　Of course, there is no one in the audience who can respond to that. Even if they shouted downstairs, the students, who are probably players of the second magic academy, would only look at them as if they were choking on their words.
　They don't know what to do.

　And for those who had watched the matches so far, they didn't know how to counter the magic that they had no knowledge of.
　The students of the players and staff naturally turned their faces to Derka Bais for such help, the gaze gathered.

　However, he had become one of the spectators who watched these matches as if they were images.
　He was immediately reminded of his responsibilities as he picked up the voice of a player calling his name from the murmur of voices like a ringing in his ears.

　He immediately pulled out his AWR and ran to the game field.
　The look on his face is an unreliable one, wondering what in the world he is supposed to do.

　I press a button on the wall that allows me to talk to the inside of the room. A speaker allows his voice to be heard inside as well.
　He raised his voice to the girl.

'Please release the spell immediately. For both of your lives...!

　Delka Bace closed her mouth mid-sentence. No, it was open, but she couldn't say the words that followed.

　It was as if she didn't mean herself.
　The girl watches emotionlessly as the two float helplessly into the sphere with no emotion, as if she is bored.

　And a voice that was clearly not addressed to her trembled slightly in Bais's ears through the speakers.


'Well, what do we do now?　1st place.

　The girl raised her chin and tilted her head as it is. The words uttered to the person who is staring ahead.
　I'm going to have to go out, and right after I put my hand on the button that opens the entrance - Delka Bais decides that she has no choice but to leave.

　You hear the sound of something cracking.
　At the same time, he felt the walls of the match hall shake loudly.



　Ilyce asks his target opponent.
　A student might die, such is the situation. This is why I went out of my way to make an excuse for myself. It was easier to be raw than he had originally planned, but he was sure that if he got in to help as a result, it would result in a battle.

　It doesn't matter to Ilyce if it turns into a real killing contest. The goal is to ascertain your competence, but such things can turn either way in a fight.

　I ask Ars Regin.
　Will you help?
　The solution came the moment Ilyce glared at Ars.

'----!

　A single knife pulled the chain and came flying in at high speed.
　The space appeared to be blurred, as if something was clinging around the tip of the blade.

　The knife easily penetrates the walls of the training grounds. It goes straight to the Tesfia in front.
　The speed was to skewer her, but the knife changed direction in the air, and only tore through the sphere.
　The sphere returns to just liquid this time.

　The moment Alice's sphere was also released, the knife chained up went back to its owner with tremendous speed.

　Ilyce, who was watching it, was interested but also raised an eyebrow.
