When I went up to the arena, Senior Christel was waiting for me with a majestic aura.
âIâve been waiting for you.â
âSenior Christel. Iâm sorry to have kept you waiting.â
âNo, I donât mind. Sirius-san , please be kind to me.â
Christel gave a soft and graceful bow and laughed slightly.
The words and facial expressions donât match ⌠I will not be defeated, itâs written on her face.
âThe second semi-final round !! Like the first one, the first grade, Thunder Emperor Sirius vs. the second grade, the Ice Queen Christel!â
A bitter smile leaks unintentionally to the words âThunder Emperorâ from Yulia.
Senior Christel was smiling at me.
âFufuâ
ââŚâŚwhat is it?â
âNo ⌠Iâm sorry. When I look at you like this, you really look like just a child ⌠I was wondering.â
It is true that I, who joined at the minimum age for admission to the grade, may only look like a child to other people, but ⌠I have mixed feelings.
âBecause Iâm just a child, would you like to take care of me?â
âIf youâre just a child, you wonât be in a place like this.â
âMust beâ
While chatting with each other, they laugh with a smile on the surface only.
âThen Iâm about to go! The second semi-final round ⌠Start !!â
âice barrier Icicle Rainâ
At the start of the game, Senior Christel froze the ground and fired several ice spears.
I release Lightning Rain to counter that.
âAnalyzingâ the amount of magical power that senior put in, I release Lightning Rain with slightly more power , I Fly to the senior as it is while shooting down all the magic of the senior.
âThe power ofâ chanting abandonment â⌠is out of the standard âŚ!âFioreâ
An icy flower emerged around Senior Christel and became a shield to protect herself from the spear of thunder.
The thunder spear, which had shaved most of its power by the ice spear, can be easily prevented by the ice flower.
However, even without it, it seems to have the power of the advanced magic class.
And the ice field created at the start of the game. The ground, such as a skating rink, is extremely slippery and deprives the maneuverability of close quarters combat. She is thorough in keeping away opponents who are inferior in physical ability.
I can think of some measures to fight in this ice field âŚ
âDiamond dustâ
When I was simulating in my brain for a few seconds how to fight, senior Christel took control of the pace.
In a blink of an eye, the temperature of the arena dropped and fine ice crystals began to drift.
The ice crystals floating in the atmosphere reflect light brilliantly and shine.
âFufufu ⌠Sirius-san, you seem to attach great importance to observing the movement of the other party. However, for me, that time is deadly â
I frown at the words of senior Christel, who speaks with a fearless laugh.
The magical power of senior Christel who fills the arena is felt on the skin, and âmagical power sensingâ is disturbed to prove it.
âŚâŚ Are all these ice crystals the magical crystals of senior Christel âŚ?
I feel an unpleasant feeling, and cold sweat is transmitted to my spine.
âI have already dominated this field!â
Sensing the increase in magical power behind him, he immediately flew toward Senior Christel.
Kicking the ground with enough force to break the ice so that it does not slip.
I sense the ice spear approaching from behind with âPhysical Detectionâ and intercept it without looking back.
âDestroy chantingâ ⌠No, âDiamond dustâ Are you using the ice and magical power scattered in?
âWhat is your leg strength? Ice pillar! !! â
Senior Christel turned pale as I approached her while breaking the ice with tremendous momentum, and immediately launched, Ice pillar and Evacuated to the air.
âItâs a bad idea to escape to a high place against a thunder magician, senior!â
Immediately I released Thunderbolt. The thunder produced by magic hit Christel-senpai as if it was attracted to a lightning rod.
âKuu! Iâll do it âŚ!â
Senior Christel, who prevented it with a barrier, switched to low-altitude maneuvering and bounced on the ground and began to take distance.
And while keeping a distance, from various angles, âIce spear was released continuously.
Normally, it should be hard to dodge my magic and take distance but the magic gathered over the arena keeps on triggering my magic detection.
In addition, Kristelâs low-altitude maneuver was a speed that I would normally catch up with, but I had to step hard while intercepting the ice spear and move while breaking the ice, and the distance did not shrink at all.
âItâs a terrible offense and defense !! Christel is throwing a storm of offensive magic on Sirius! Sirius canât get close to Christel!â
I canât tell the truth as it is. Anyway, the ice field is annoying.
How to manage this âŚ
The technique and magic image are solidified at high speed in the brain.
During the game, a simple one is fine. All I have to do is simply manage this field.
I finish building in my brain, the magic is crude but that may be necessary and sufficient to deal with this situation.
Since it is a bumping production, I will spin the magic name to improve stability and effect as much as possible.
âFushiikazuchiâ
I dash forward as I deploy it.
ââBachichichichii! !!
Then, thunder crawls on the ground from the point where he stepped on, illuminating the arena with dazzling light.
The electric current running through the ground cracked the ice field and melted it in places.
âCha !?â
Senior Christel, who was moving low, did not hit directly, but was surprised by the sudden discharge sound and the rising ice fragments, covering her face with her arms.
Quickly I use Lightning Aura to Increase agility and run through the ice that has been cracked.
When Senior Christel uncovered her face and turned around, she was close enough to touch.
ââ!?âHika Dance Fioreă! !! â
I slash Yoruichi at Senior Christel, but the petals of ice flowers floating around her fluttered and interrupted the attack.
Five petals of the Olympus flowers, a total of twenty-five ice blades, attack from all directions.
âBlitz acceleratorâ
Wearing lightning, the sword leaves an afterimage.
The super-accelerated power of Yoruichi jumped up, and in an instant, twenty-five petals became ice crystals and scattered as if breaking thin glass.
âHow âŚâ
He mercilessly hits Yoruichi into Senior Christel, who opens her eyes as if she had seen something impossible.
The senior, who let go of her consciousness due to the attack, was sent off from the arena.
âWow, what the hell !!!! No way, he won! Sirius, will advance to the finals in the first grade !! Itâs the first grader that will advance to the finals of this tournament! ! â
After the declaration of senior Yulia, the venue was filled with cheers one beat later.
When I saw Charlotte and his classmates screaming and waving something, I smiled and turned around.
