446 # 425 Leapling Tournament Group A.txt (1/2)

I eat dinner and log in. When I was taken to the basement for a quick tournament, I found Princess Sylphy, Princess Sarah, Princess Henri, Garou, Liese, Olivier, Cain, Aura, and Nephi at the entrance. That's a lot!

'Sorry to bother you. I'm here to watch the tournament!

Princess Gylfi replies with a smile. I turn my eyes to Garou-san in protest.

'I'm a victim of the Princess's selfishness... don't look at me like that.

No, let's go for it there. Princess Gylfi, you're still a sick man. I look at Mr. Cain next.

''We just happened to be in the castle and heard about it. As the guildmaster of the Beast Demon Guild, I want to make sure that your summoners are serious.

What do you mean?

I want to see the slime and the girls play!

The air has dropped below freezing. I look at Liese one last time.

''I will not let you be left alone, mistress!

I'm the chaperone.

You want to see it anyway...haha. I can't turn this face away now.

That's why we came to the underground arena.

''It's finally happening!　Reeping's Greatest Summoner Tournament!　I'm Gylfi Fretia, the commentator.

This is Cain, also a commentator.

You're getting too much of a groove...I mean, this kind of thing isn't Aura-san or Nephi-san.

'They were taken... haha... I wanted to explain to you about Lily and the others...'

'I think we'll probably have to switch. I don't think those two can do it.

Is that right?

'I think your sister Gylfi would be an explanation of how cute the summons are or something.

That cat couldn't possibly explain to a girl.

Why are you doing the commentary? Those two...

So, let's get the tournament started, shall we? I can't be the judge, so Princess Sara will be the judge.

So the first match of Group A will be between Byakuya and Faryda.

Let's begin the first game!

Magickal release!

Gaaaah!

We'll reinforce each other first. This is where the problem begins.

Jamming magic!

With this, Byakuya's skills to use magic power were blocked. No matter how much Byakuya would not want to receive the magic element. If that was the case, then Byakuya's hand...

Byakuya's figure disappears.

'It's coming!　Focus... there!

Faryda tries to shrink it, but Byakuya ducks it by jumping. He also distracted Faryda by using the shrinkage to take advantage of the gap. Byakuya's strategy is winning.

It's time to win!　Victors White Night!

Gaaaah!

Byakuya lets out a yell of victory.

''Byakuya-san, that was so cool!

The dancer's costume... it's great!

No... these two. Farida is coming back.

'I've lost... and I thought I had a chance once the magic element was decided.

'I think that's why Byakuya chose to play it safe, right?　There's a lot of altruism in Byakuya.

'Oh...I forgot about that.'

If he had attacked as a decoy for the move he was thinking about after using the magic interference, he would have had a chance to hit Byakuya. After that, Farida kept thinking about defending her attack as well, and that's why she lost. It's fundamentally a big difference in level, but it was a moderately interesting battle.

Then, the second match. My opponents were Luna and Wufu. It's a tough fight.

The second match. Let's begin!

Black Flame!

The Japanese fox strikes first. Then Luna ducks the black flame and disappears. And then she does a magic attack from the sky. Well, that's how it's going to come.

The Japanese fox senses and ducks all of Luna's magic attacks, and the Japanese fox sets it up.

''Iizuna!''

The tube fox from the bamboo tube chases Luna, who has disappeared. Luna tries her best to intercept the tube fox, but because of her light magic, she can't damage the tube fox. The situation is overwhelmingly against Luna.

''Dreamscape!''

Nah.

Luna used her new skill. Then the Japanese fox stopped moving.

There were a lot of tacts in the scenery that the Japanese fox was looking at, and he was gently stroking his head and tail while calling out the name of the Japanese fox.

''...''

Now!

Caaah!

While the Japanese fox is unresisting, Luna's magic attack attacks the Japanese fox. It's a good idea to make sure that you have a good idea of what you're looking for.

”Ku...what we did...but it won't work anymore!

In the end, this illusion seems to be a skill that allows the opponent to see an illusion. It's similar to sorcery, but sorcery can only deceive you in the unnatural parts of the landscape, or, as I've done before, it requires several people to deceive you in a limited area.

However, this illusion skill does not require a large number of people because it shows the illusion to the opponent himself, and it is very difficult to detect the unnaturalness of the reality and the illusion.

After all, it's a skill that interferes with the opponent's image, so it's quite impossible to feel unnatural in your own image. It's a really tricky skill because from my point of view as I'm looking at it, all I can see is the image of the Wa Fox being defenseless.

Its weakness would be the fact that it can be disarmed when you take damage. Also, I found out later that it's an illusion, so the sensation of being touched doesn't exist. I can't find any other weaknesses.

A Japanese fox with a slightly red face attacks Luna with black flames, but Luna continues to evade and fly around.

''Warding!　I can't take mesmerizing scales.

Luna's trump card is sealed as well... her face is red, but the Japanese fox is calm. Now the magic is blocked. They also use water flow control, but the wards don't budge.

''Ku... then it's time for the last round!

Luna jumps in with her eyes on the Japanese fox.

''Black Flame!''

The Japanese fox shoots black flames in a misguided direction. It's another dreamscape. Good move, but...

”...fox skills!　Hermittail!

The tail of the Japanese fox catches Luna as she approaches from behind. But Luna turns to water. Here's the water body!

That was a close call...?

Luna thinks she has escaped from danger, but she has forgotten the tube fox. The tube fox possesses Luna and Luna collapses.

”...it's over. Foxmanship!　Hermittail!

Sh...　Caaaaah!

I tried to protect it with protection as soon as I could, but only one tail was able to defend it. The rest of the tails hit Luna and she fell down.

'There is a winner!　Winner!　Wufu!

After receiving the declaration of victory, Waxxu runs up to Luna.

'Are you okay?　Luna.

''Ehehe... it's okay. Japanese fox sister...thank you for fighting for me seriously. I won't lose next time.

That's what makes it Tact's summoner.

We applaud.

'A girl's non-negotiable battle...I'm impressed with both of you for giving it your all!

Priestess... she's very guarded.

Mr. Cain... you are excused.

What?　Why!

So the commentary role has been changed to Nephi. Luna comes in.

'I've lost... daddy.'

'This is my fault, too. I should have let you use more magic.

If he had been able to use strong magic, Luna might have had a chance. It was especially tough for me not to remember the sacred magic. It was my fault for letting her support me with the zither all along.

''Why don't you take this opportunity to play magic?''

'Yes, sir!　I want to do it!

Yeah, I know. Nice face. In case you're wondering, there was a tactic to beat Luna in the rules I had in mind. It was a close call, though.

Next up is probably going to be the biggest battle of the day. The third fight is between Gail and Spica.

'This has been an interesting battle!　I'm looking forward to it!　Mr. Nephi!

''Yes... a clash of speed and power is mandatory. The focus will be on how to attack Nemea's ironclad defense and the unicorn's vision.

This is the first time I've heard a commentary that sounds like an explanation. That's what I'm talking about, Nefi.

Game three, go!

Gale and Spica collide at the same time, squabbling at the corners. Spica's rotation angle appears to be pushing, but a golden aura is blocking the rotation angle.

As they get farther away from each other, they collide again. They clash again and again, but they can't settle. That's a hot battle!

Then the battle moved. It was Gale who set it up first. During the collision, he would discharge and damage Spica. Then Spica gets out of range and shoots a focused laser.

Gale ducks and attacks Spica, but as he ducks, Spica's rotation angle hits Gale's gut, but once again, his golden aura gets in the way.

Gale almost bites me, and as Spica moves away from him, a barrage of lasers and lightning breaks out.

'It's beautiful~'

But the time is running out. The unicorns are outnumbered right now and we are going to set them up.

Olivier is right, Spica uses the madmanization. In contrast, Gale doesn't use it. The mad warriorization isn't specialized for attack. Gale must have prioritized defense. How does this decision play out?

Gale dives in and Spica ducks with an illusion and goes for Gale's stomach again. Gale knows and uses the discharge, but Spica doesn't pull it. Then Spica's rotation angle pierces Gale.

Got it? No! Gale moves his body, with his rotation angle still stinging, and claws at Spica with both hands, covering Spica's neck.

There's no time...what happens. The two animals fall to the ground as they team up. At that point, the two animals separated.

'That's it!　The winner is...Spica!

”Heen!

'Kyah!　Spica!　It's great!

This was a brilliant fight. And I saw what made the difference. And so did Miss Nephi.

The thing that decided the difference between winning and losing was whether or not you had the ability to recover... when you fell to the ground at the end, you got away from the unicorn. That was the parting of the ways in the game.

''That's right. Spica-chan was a quintessential smartass for going for it!　As a result, if Gail-san had used the Berserkers, she would have been able to cut down on Spica-chan's life force. I was a little too confident in my own defensive abilities, and that was the reason for my defeat.

Princess Gylfi explained it to me!

Spica had caught his balance while falling and hit Gale on the ground first. Just a little bit of offense and defense, a moment's decision-making ability decided the winner, didn't it?

''Isn't this battle exactly what Tact-dono was aiming for?

What do you mean?　Jeez?

The rules say that whoever has the ability to recover has the advantage. It can be reversed in the end, as in this case.

'But it would also be dangerous to do so. We've all learned from this one, I'm sure.

Just when you think Lily and the others are happy, you are troubled. That's what I'm trying to do.
