30-30. Engagement with the Empire




 Well what should we do now?
 Now that we know where he is, should we use transference magic to hit him?

What do you mean by that?
"Cheating on the Empire's side? What do you see in that, Kurt?

 When I tried to use the transfer magic, Lara and Marise questioned me.
 Do you want me to explain it from scratch?
 Even though they might get away with it in the meantime?
 I was wondering what to do.

There he is! It's the flawed wizards of King's Landing!
Do it in one fell swoop!

 When I turned towards the voice, I saw the representative of the Imperial side coming towards me and trying to unleash his magic.

''They're cunning!''

 In a false way, everyone was not able to react to the representatives of the Imperial side.

''Gather into these hands, O Flame! Turn into a spear and burn through the enemy!

 The representative of the Empire begins to chant.

 It's late.
 I'm starting to feel sleepy.

 I'm going to hold up my hand and use treacherous magic.
 I've been told before that the anti-spiritual magic is a technique to make the opponent's magic cut off.

It's not a good idea.
Why isn't it activated?

 The man on the Imperial side has a puzzled look on his face.
 By using disobedience magic, he made his opponent's magic formula disappear before it was activated.

''Eh.........why would an Imperial man attack? This is the cheating Kurt was talking about...?
'Oh, you guys! It's against the rules!

 Finally realizing what was going on, Lara and Marise spoke up at the same time.

 In response, the Imperial side grinned and fished the corners of their mouths.

Shut up! If you keep your mouths shut, that's it.

 I said.

 I see.
 I didn't see any of the teachers around.

'You were looking for this.........'
Kurt. What do you mean?
It's been a setup from the beginning. The Empire has no intention of engaging in a proper exchange war.

 Lara's eyes widened in surprise.

 Keep track of our actions with the surveillance mages.
 Furthermore, direct interference, which is forbidden in exchange battles.
 That was telling.

I'm not sure I've ever seen such a thing before. This isn't the first time you've done this, is it?

 The Imperial side only smiled with a smirk and didn't answer the question.

 It's settled.
 That's why a record of ten consecutive defeats in the King's Capital was created.

''But I crushed the surveillance mages all over the place. So when you saw that things were getting worse, you came to deal with us. Or they came to steal the items we've collected...
I don't have to explain.

 Although he said that, he seemed to be able to read the other party's intentions from his expression.

 As expected of an empire. Dirty.
 It was the same even a thousand years ago.
 Aside from the teachers on the Imperial side, the teachers on the King's Capital side are probably just saying the right things to keep them away from this place.

 In other words.........

''Don't stand around idly! You were a dud before, but not this time!  Gather round these hands, O flame....

 It's a direct battle with another school that I didn't expect to take place in an exchange game.

''Fufu........''

 Sigh.
 You're using chanting magic in a disciplined manner.
 If it's that late.

"Lara.
'Yes! I know!

 Faster than her opponent's magic could fly out, Lara released a fire spear.
 Of course, it was unchanted.

''Guhaha!''

 One of them hit Fire Spear and was blown backwards.

'What the hell! What happened?
'Was that unfortunate magic power...? How can the unfortunate magic power activate faster than our perfect magic power?

 ........analysis complete.

 
 There's no way they can beat the red color that excels in attack system magic.
 Moreover, the opponent is a chanting magic.

It's not a good idea.
Everybody show yourselves!
"Gather round my hand, O flame...

 Apparently, he has now set the Imperial side on fire.

 But to think that they won't go easy on me........
 How kind!
 To be honest, it was about the time I was getting bored of collecting items within the 《Treasure Labyrinth》.

''Lara, Marise. It's time to put your training to good use.
'Uh-huh! But I haven't had a game against a person since my entrance exam...
'I'm fine! All the hard work we've been doing.........................and we'll trust Kurt!
Use your powers as you see fit.

 At the same time as my words, Lara and Marise also began to form a magic formula.
 There is a heavenly difference in speed between chanting and non-chanting.
 In the middle of the opponent's chanting of the Eishou Bunritsu, Lara's Fire Spear. From Maryse, Lightning Arrow was released.

''What's this speed!''
How can they unleash magic when they're not chanting?

 In the blink of an eye, the Imperial side fell into chaos.
 Lara and Marise took advantage of it and made a series of magic shots to fold up at once.

 
 They are also trying to release their magic in a hurry, but they can't keep up at all.
 They were blown away by the power of the magic, hitting the nearby trees as hard as they could and rolling on the ground.

''This is the power of first years...!
What did they show us?

 Corey and Glenn, the third year students, were surprised.
 They were trying to join them, but I guess they couldn't keep up.

'This is normal for first years,'
'Normal...? Are you telling me that no chanting is normal?
'Yes. Among the first years, unchanted chanting is the main thing. It's not surprising that the chanting magic on the Imperial side can't keep up.
''I've been looking at you for a while now and the normalcy in me is crumbling.
What the hell is going on this year?

 Corey and Glenn were stunned.

 Since that 'practical skills' class, they had had the opportunity to teach magic to more than just Lara and Marise.
 As a result, most of the first year students had been able to release magic even without chanting.

''And yet...''

 Something to be concerned about.
 The representative of the Imperial side was slowly trying to get up, despite being blown away by Lara and Marise's magic.

''Well aren't you a little too tough?''
That's true. Maybe it's because I thought I was going to die and I went a little easy on myself...
'It's unusual nonetheless. You're not supposed to be able to stand up right away, are you?

 The Imperial side smiled at the margin, and some of them hadn't given up on the game.

 ........I see.
 It was of low quality, so it took me a while to notice, but warding magic is being deployed on those guys.
 Some of the damage must have been absorbed because of that.

''You guys........don't get carried away, okay?

 One of them holds up his hand.

'Our true power we'll show you!

 How?
 There's a magic formula revolving around him.

 I'm sure someone is directly pulling the strings in the background.
 At first glance, it looks like he's about to unleash a spell called Meteo Burn.
 But it's obvious to me that someone else is deploying the magic formula.

''Ha! Meteor burn!

 A huge meteor-like object appeared from above us and was about to fall.
 But--

Too late.

 I point my palm upwards.
 Magical intervention.

 .........I knew it. Although it's a bit more powerful, I didn't expect to be able to reconfigure the magic formula so easily.
 The warding magic is also deployed, and it won't kill you.
 The meteorite that was about to fall on us changed direction and stabbed towards our opponent.

''Whoa!''
How could I have let them use the magic I cast on them?

 With a scream, the Imperial side that had been hit by the meteorite was lifted into the air by the impact.
 It crashed into the ground as it was.
 No matter how much of a boundary magic it is, it was not able to absorb the impact...They all seemed to be lying on the ground and fainting.

''Is this........over?''
Lara. Don't let your guard down! They might still try something!

 Marise hadn't released the tension and was in a position where she could deploy the magic formula at any time.
 Yeah. That's my protégé.

"Marise, you're right. I'm not done with you yet.

 Well.........
 Let's pull out the headshot.
