116 - - The Brave Rides

The second match will be held.

<

The royal team will be me, Elise, and Mikael.

The players from each school gather on the field.

"Yay, Aniue-horse-san!"

Me and Elise are the horses and Mikael rides on top.

I in the front, she in the back.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, yes, yes, brother bear!"

Mikhail is jumping up and down on top of me.

"Mica, don't jump so much. It's too much for you and your brothers.

"Look, look, look! I'm having Aniue do horseback riding for me~ isn't that nice~ aren't you jealous?"

"No, nothing. Not at all. I don't envy you in the slightest!"

Grinning, Sakura looked at Gaius silently.

"What the hell!"

"Nothing. What are you feeling jealous of?"

"No, I don't!　Oh, God!"

As they mount their horses, the Eastern Federation approaches.

"Fudu fudu ...... brothers ......3 people ...... good friends ...... good."

A female student, her long hair completely covering her face, is Dantalion, the leader of the Eastern Federation.

"Oh, are you a ghost?"

"No, it's a ...... demon ......."

"Oh!　I'm an angel!　Do you want to be destroyed?"

"Mica, Dantalion is a student at another school. You can't kill him."

"Okay!　I'm going to pet you now that you've listened to me!"

Later.

"Yay!"

She was watching the scene from close by, and she clasped her hands together in front of her chest and bowed.

"Oh ...... innocent playful brothers ...... precious ...... precious ...... precious ......."

"You're the devil, don't be flattered."

The Eastern Federation is Dantalion and Zagan, Amon.

The Holy Empire is Kazuma, Artoo and Takeru.　

The Empire is Anti and two schoolgirls.

"Listen, you two, close your eyes when the competition starts!　Whatever happens, don't ever open your eyes!　Great!"

Yes, Anti-Sama!"

The national athletes gather in the center of the field.

Additional detailed rules are as follows.

Time limit is 10 minutes.

The rider must not show any hands or feet.

The rider may not move without the horse.

The rider is disqualified when his feet touch the ground. The rider must wait until the game is over.

One point is awarded for the loss of a headband. One point is awarded for each pachinko you get.

The score at the end of 10 minutes is the winner.

A gunshot is heard and the players begin to move in unison.

"Michael, here we go!

Boom!　My brother-in-law spreads his six wings and flies up.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!　What, he's flying!

Anti-personnel are rolling their eyes and yelling.

"What is that thing?　You're not human again, are you!"

"Uh, yeah. An angel?"

"Don't you dare make such a blanket statement!"

Mikhail jumps up and stays in the air.

"You're good. But you're not the only one who can fly!

Alto, a first-year student of the Imperial Kingdom, turns his body into a thunder god and stays in the air.

"............"

Amon, a male student from the Eastern Federation, was also staying in the air as a matter of course.

"What are you all flying around like that?

Next to me ...... or rather behind us, Anti was there before we knew it.

"What, flying is a default, isn't it?"

"Don't you think it's strange if such advanced magic is used as a matter of course!　Hey!

"Yeah, you can fly, right?" Mm!　Of course you can fly! You can fly ......."

"Common sense is flying out the window, you guys!"

Mikhail and the others are glaring at each other in the sky.

"Mr. Chairman!　Are you sure!　This!"

<<

"How can they make rules based on the assumption that humans can fly!"

Mikael braces himself in mid-air.

"I'm sorry, but Aniue is watching. I won't lose!

"If that's the case, there's no way I'm going to lose in front of Kazuma-sensei!"

Alto becomes lightning and flies to Michael at high speed.

He just barely avoids its trajectory and activates the [Heavenly Spear] in mid-air.

"Dooooooooo!"

Numerous lasers are irradiated and strike Alto.

"Lasers!　It's okay!　Hey, lasers, lasers!　It's a student competition!"

"Doesn't it seem like it's okay to just leave it at that?

Alto darts at lightning speed between the lasers that are pouring down like a torrential downpour.

"You're good!"

Alto takes a kick to Mikhail's abdomen with tremendous speed.

He takes a direct hit and is blown away at a tremendous speed.

But his brother-in-law maneuvers himself in the air.

"Welcome back!"

The six wings glow, and Mikael disappears.

"He's gone!　Hey, what's going on here!"

"Yes, you turned the being into light, didn't you?"

The higher archangels are usually able to do this.

Gakiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!

Alto had received his brother-in-law's blow with one hand.

"Ha ha!　You're fast, you are!"

"You're the one who's going to do it, aren't you!"

They disappear together.

Michael turns into light and Alto turns into lightning and they collide.

Knock!　Clunk!　Sluggish!

"Mika, hang in there!"

"Alto!　Alto!　Hang in there!　Go for it!"　

"That first-year student over there is doing great!"

Your little brother over there is pretty good too!

Me and Kazuma watch the younger guys fight.

The rules say you can't move without a rider.

"Dantalion and these first-years haven't done anything, are they okay?"

"Don't worry ......, there's nothing to worry about. ......"

He distances himself from Mikhail, and Alto disappears.

"What are you doing?　I got it!"

Amon comes up behind him and takes the potholder from him.

"I won!"

"............"

Alto smiles.

But Amon had the bowl in his hand.

"What?　Oh, my potholder!　How did you do that!"

"I see. ...... [reversal spell]."

"Hantenju?　Mr. Julius!　What's that!"

"It's a curse. A curse that reverses events and overwrites reality."

"As expected of ...... Julius-sama, ...... well done ...... for seeing through ........."

Amon reversed the event [that Alto took his bowl] and overwrote the reality [that he took Alto's bowl].

"What is this bullshit ability?　You can do whatever you want with this stuff!"

"Not really. Not really.

Perhaps he is making a tremendous commitment to himself.

"d*mn!　You son of a b*tc*!"

Alto snatches the bowl back from Amon's hand with lightning speed.

However, the event is reversed and the reality that he could not take it back is overwritten.

"Oh, shit!　I'll take it from Mikhail if I have to do this!"

You are not disqualified from this match even if you lose the bowl.

You can do anything you want until time is up.

"I'll try!"

Light and thunder collide in the air at super-speed.

Clash!　Sluggish!　Kin-kin-kin-kin!

Amon does not actively target the bowl.

Is he trying to catch a fish, or is he too busy with his oath to move properly?

"If this happens, ...... Senpai!　May I use my own inner workings?"

"Yes, I give you permission!"

Alto puts his hands together with a sly grin.

"San no kata [Thousand thunderbolt body]!"

An electrical discharge is produced from Alto's body.

Lightning eventually forms a human being.

The number of them is a thousand.

"Geeeeeeeeeeeee!　What the hell is that?

"What, you made an alter ego out of lightning?"

"Exactly!　Julius, you see everything!　That's what I'm talking about!"

A large number of alter egos seemed to fill the sky of the ground.

One of them is as strong as me!

"Oh no!　Isn't this already cheating!　Are you all right, your brother?

The antagonist shakes my [shoulder] with a jerk.

"No problem. He's my brother, after all.

Mikhail laughs at .......

"A thousand alter egos are awesome ......."

"Heh heh, right!"

"But ...... your one is even more amazing!"

Basa......!　And Michael spreads his wings wide.

Wings of light pour down from the heavens.

"Wow. ...... beautiful. ......"

Elise looks on.

Feathers fall on her head.

The whole audience gazes at the glowing snowflakes of feathers. ...... Next moment.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

"Huh?　What happened?　What do you mean, "What the hell?　Oh, my God, they're all gone!

A thousand altos lie prostrate on the ground.

All of them, who had covered the sky a moment ago, had fallen to the ground.

"............"

Alto is out cold.

At that moment, his alter ego disappears.

"What happened?　What!"

"Time ...... stop ...... or ......?"

"Stop time!　Did you use such advanced magic?

"No, no, no. I forced him to stop thinking.

"You're talking nonsense again!　I don't understand!"

I pick up the feather.

"The moment I touch this feather, a tremendous amount of information is sent through the light directly from my eyeballs to my brain. The brain is then overwhelmed by the massive amount of information processing and temporarily stops thinking.

"Yo, what do you ...... mean?"

"When this feather touches the subject, the subject stops thinking and cannot move for one minute. But the magician can move freely for one minute."

You leave your opponent unprotected for a minute, during which time he can beat you up unilaterally, and when you realize it, it's all over.

Time stopping is magic and can be prevented by warding.

However, the angel's wings of light pass through all matter on earth.

Neither evasion nor defense is possible.

"It seems that Michael beat up Alto, who got stuck, one by one..."

"No, hey!　How did you know that?

"Well, I was just looking at it like a normal person.

"How can you be so unconcerned when it's impossible to evade or defend yourself?"

In short, the brain's processing speed just needs to catch up with the incoming information.

I activated my brain with my fighting spirit to increase my thinking speed and prevent processing corruption.

"You're already ...... everything, aren't you!"

Well, Alto is down.

But Ammon has his bowl.

"............"

Amon has a reversal of events.

No matter how hard you try to take it, it will be taken from you.

"I can't do it!　Ani-ue!"

He flips it around and comes back to us.

"Go!　Anima!"

I start running toward Amon with Mikael on my back.

"Julius, what are you going to do?

"Yeah, we'll just take it like a normal person."

We jump up and get close to Ammon.

Mica, get it!

"Ryokai!　To!"

Mikael reaches out with both hands and takes the two bowls from Amon, who is standing on a stick.

"Oh, no use!　Things would be reversed!　So the world would be overwritten to say that Mikhail had the bowl taken from him!"

But .......

"I got it!"

Mikael smiles.

In his hands were two bowls.

"That's impossible!

We're landing.

>

"No, no, no, no!　What's going on?

An anti-submarine comes close to us.

"I thought you said the event was overwritten!

"Yeah, that's why we overwrote it, right?"

Explain it in human language!

Then Dantalion approached us.

"You are the ...... force ...... of Amon, the ...... copy of ......."

"A copy?

I nod.

"I knew you were using the reversal of events/overwriting curse when I saw it. The moment the curse was activated on Mikhail, he applied the curse at the exact same time."

The reversal of events, by reversing them, means that they are reversed again.

"It's amazing ...... Mr. Julius ...... understand the advanced curses of the devil ...... just by looking at them... ...impossible to imitate ....... ......"

Is that so?

"Yes,...... the devil's curse can only be used by ...... the devil. ......"

"The impossible is possible!　That's Aniue!　It's amazing!"

The antagonist turns his eyes and sighs.

"I'm tired of ...... being a ...... tuckeye."

The ranking this time is as follows.

1st Michael: 2 points.

2nd Anti: 0 points.

Tied for 3rd place, Amon Alt -1 point.

"Brother, why is Anti in second place?"

"He was so surprised at the beginning when Mika took off his wings and flew that he fell off his horse.

Zero points for falling off the horse.

Normally, this would have been the lowest rank, but since the rest of the contestants had negative points, they came in second place.

"Nice work, Anti! Did you calculate that this would happen?"

To Gaius' question, "To ......?" The antagonist dots his eyes.

"Of course, of course!　Everything is as this Anti-Von Madukas planned!"

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!""""

The crowd erupts.

"That's just what I'm talking about, Mr. Anti!" I can't believe you thought of that!""" It's great, Mr. Anti!"

His teammates give him a twinkle.

By the way, his teammates were safe because they closed their eyes and did not watch the game as he had instructed them to do before the game.

"Ha, ha!　Hah ...... lucky. Really, I was lucky, I ...... haha ......."

The standings after two rounds were as follows.

1st Royal (+4) +2,+2

2nd Empire (+2) +1,+1

3rd Eastern Commonwealth (-2) -1,-1

4 聖なる神の国(-3) -2,-1
