Chapter 140

Black Mist 140.

“Unnie, how long will you be fat?”

“Cell, Selena-sama, this is a snack…!”

“(Tuwuung-)”

The waiting room of Phoenix before the war.

Her eldest daughter, Selena, sat sullenly and unhappily.

This time, she puts her wooden sword beside her without a chance to wield it.

He chews on the snacks Francis gave him, but his complaints are still there.

The reason for the dissatisfaction is, of course, that she can’t go to the battlefield.

After two days of verification, she apparently decided that Selena could ‘leave it up’ to Anat.

However, she is a different story from ‘You can leave it alone’ and ‘She wanted to go out on her own’.

She was able to tag with the youngest in a long time.

Besides, the opponents are talents from the academy who are considered to be A-S-class hunters.

For Selena, a really tasty battle opponent.

It is a great regret that she eventually yielded to Anat.

Still, seeing that she ends up flirting a bit, I have to say that Selena’s personality has grown a lot too.

If she was the same as she used to, she would have gone out on her own if she insisted on her without making concessions.

“Both of them have moved to their places, it’s starting soon!”

While Tiana and Francis were soothing Selena, Drowah looked at her magic orb in her waiting room and said:

This magic marble was a high-ranking magic item called the so-called ‘image magic crystal’ – an object that transmits the vision of the ‘Pixies’ distributed in the Colosseum with magical power.

When non-selection members of each faction are in the waiting room, this magic item allows them to see outside.

It was about twice the size of an adult male head.

Faction members who were not selected for Daejeon had to be in the audience or in the waiting room as a rule.

When you get close to the field, information on the location of the opposing faction or some support magic. This was because there were many possibilities of cheating.

In the first place, when the official battle begins on the field itself, it is said that a barrier magic is to be used to prevent anyone except the major players from entering.

“They say that the field barrier magic is a mechanism similar to the ‘monster bite’ of train tracks.”

Flora is said to have heard such information while working on a previous train business.

Thanks to this, the barrier works until the match ends ‘by the approved rules’.

It seems that only authorized observers, the student council president, and dean-level personnel are allowed to enter.

“That, and the magic that reduces damage, is also said to be the ability of the barrier magic……!”

“This magical crystal and the field, the academy has great skills…!”

At what Francis Nega had explained, Tiana opened her eyes wide and was surprised.

In addition, this video magic crystal is also a high-ranking magic item that is still being developed around the world.

How can such a thing be rented like this? Like an academy, was the technology introduction really quick?

Flora nodded as if she realized something while looking at the magic crystal.

“Aha, thanks to the magic all over the Colosseum, it’s maneuvering quite efficiently. If we expand this technology a little bit more, it will be able to reduce inconvenience in various ways even during business meetings.”

“How many grades of mana stones have you refined to make a crystal of this size?”

“When I asked a little bit earlier, Tiana said that the academy has about 20 crystal balls.”

“It’s really an academy!”

Tiana and Flora both took the ‘Magic Item Crafting’ course. There was a lot of interest in magic crystals.

Of course, as soon as the youngest and newcomers appeared on Sujeong, the conversation started to flow.

Perhaps because the same video is sent to the Black Lion faction, the video of Caltus and Thermi is also displayed.

A video confirming that both sides have arrived in place.

It was clear what that meant.

Soon, Pirti’s relay began.

[“The condition for victory is ‘defeat both opponents’ or, somehow, defeat only the ‘faction leader’! That’s the rules before tagging! Then now-”]

Dae-ae-ae-ae-ae-!!

[“Faction Battle, 2 VS 2 Tag Battle, Let’s Start!!”]

Simultaneously with the bells of the Colosseum, Firti declares the start of the war.

The second faction battle of the semester, the first fight of the Phoenixes begins.

That was when the entire Phoenix faction began to focus on the video magic crystal.

“……Huh? Whoa!”

Tiana frowned at the sudden tingling sensation.

“Tiana?”

“Uh, uh…?”

Everyone, including Selena, was puzzled by Tiana’s brief scream.

Soon, Tiana realizes what happened to her own eyes.

“I just… did Ma-an react as she pleases……?”

“……Tiana Maan?”

“Yeah… I haven’t had anything like this lately, but it’s strange…”

The last time Ma-an moved on his own was three years ago forcing him to look into Eud’s past.

Since then, it has been a magic eye that has been well maintained without a runaway.

For some reason, he just made an arbitrary and short maneuver.

It was as if he had reacted to something beyond the magic crystal.

Maybe this moment…

Selena and Tiana may have felt an instinctive crisis that they did not know.

* * *

With the sword ready, Eud re-fixed the staff-liquid top to the holder on the back.

Reviving the sense of his nose, he smells the field.

…the smell I just felt was not felt either.

Maybe it was because the rules were different from last time, there were some changes in the field.

In the previous field of Metri VS Ontras, there was a considerable range of vacant lots to enable ‘7 VS 7 Melee’. (Of course, there was no melee.)

This time, there were quite a lot of obstacles such as trees, pillars, and bushes.

Since there are few people in the tag battle, the scope of the vacant lot must have been reduced.

It must have been a minute or so since the start of the match.

From the audience’s standpoint or from the broadcaster’s seat, the situation is still immobile.

“……!!”

But Eud realized that something had just begun to change.

He notices that the air above the field is starting to change.

He notices how the obstacles are swaying back and forth.

Anat noticed the same thing.

She is the girl who has the most experience in the official battles in the Phoenix faction.

“… it’s coming, Eud.”

“Yeah.”

Anat spins his black knife several times, and once trimmed his curly hair.

it feels moves

trees fall. pillar. land. bushes.

There are terrain and fields that can be called obstacles.

rumble rumble!!

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooss!!

It creates vibrations in the galloping of wild beasts.

Even though there are only two wild beasts, their momentum and spirit are truly a force.

The aura they radiate is clearly proving that they are veterans.

And the moment I heard a rustling from a nearby tree –

“-The black lion never misses its prey.”

show up

“Caltus!? It’s Carltus!!”

“To Thermie! After all, the first ones are the lions!”

Caltus and Thermi attacked Eud and Anat at once.

“And of course the food is you, Eud-!”

“Eud!”

“-Do you have time to care about that, demon?”

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Caltus’ fist slammed into Eud’s swiftly.

Thermi’s twin swords aim at Anat’s gap in an instant.

“Ugh-!!”

Eud quickly swung his sword to block it, but it was heavy.

The unique strength of a lion beast. The original power of Caltus added to that.

The two are rapidly transmitted to Eud’s body.

As if to reveal that he is not vigilant, it is thickly surrounded by green speculation.

No, but he couldn’t just focus on Caltus’ power.

‘If you only paid attention to one side…!’

In an instant, in a different direction from Carltus-

‘-Thermi’s side is looking for a hole here!’

When Thermi attacked Anat.

Thermi was already looking at Eud as a target.

Eud’s short break while facing Carltus.

Without missing a single point from it, Thermi quickly attacked Eud.

Simultaneously with Caltus, Eud had to block Thermi’s sword.

This is the point to be most careful about in the fight against ‘beasts of wild beasts’.

The moment you allow them to team up, their combat effectiveness increases several times.

If so, would it have been better to have a tag match?

If it was a match of 5 vs 5 or more, the complexity would have been multiplied by several orders of magnitude.

But- yes, this is a tag war.

“Four years, do you have time to worry about that, bitch of a lioness!”

“-!!”

In addition to Caltus’ side, there is a very reliable partner on Eud’s side.

Chae-ae-ae-ae!!

Thermi’s sword was attacking Eud’s side, and Anat swung a dagger to block it.

And the moment when Thermi’s left hand bounced upwards from the shock-

Whoops!

―――Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!

Anat’s kick toe explodes in Thermi’s abdomen.

A black spectacle was put on his legs at once, pushing Thermi’s body a few meters away.

Eud doesn’t stop either.

The sword that was blocking Carltus’ fist is rearranged at high speed.

Then, after blocking the fist of Carltus, who was continuously attacking, with that sword several times-

Aww! Aww! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

…… swish!

Anat thought, ‘After all, even pretending to be cool, he’s a black lion.’

“Is it split on both sides?!”

“After Carltus and Eud, it’s a one-on-one composition with Thermi and Anat!”

“The Black Lion sub-leader and the Demon of the Official Battle!!”

At the fast-changing aspect, the students in the audience are astonished.

“But what-”

Anat took the jet-black dagger as a reciprocal as usual.

“As long as you get the chance, you have to work hard. From now on, Phoenix’s success is my success.”

“This is the chance to fight that has come with a lot of effort- …………………………..”

Anat and Thermi simultaneously sprint across the ground.

“Enjoy it to the fullest, Anat Torrang!!”
