96 Episode 06: Day Two Event Review Meeting

"How was the eagle group?

Lunch break the next day, having completed the review meeting for the first day of the event.

As usual, having lunch in the courtyard, Elisia, sitting face to face, asked.

"It's progressing pretty smoothly because the student council officers taking command are excellent"

"Mr. Mira, you work hard."

Mize also agreed to my statement.

"How's the lions?

It was Gran who answered the question.

"Well, we're alike. So far, I've been following the student council's instructions."

"I don't know how long it'll last. There are many aristocratic son warrants in Builders School, and I hope there isn't an explosion of dissatisfaction somewhere."

Elysia said distressingly.

Unlike us, Elysia, a hero student, probably has constant anxiety in her hands because of the many interactions she has with the nobility.

"The Eagles were stabbing nails in the family of heroes better at the student council. Teamwork is important, so it's not a good idea to disrupt your footprint..."

Rest your hands on the meal, Mize says.

"Oh, that was the lion group, too. You're doing something similar."

Gran says with a laugh.

Meanwhile, me and Elysia exchanged our gazes silently and nodded small at each other.

"... Phew. I knew that was what happened."

"Sounds like..."

Mize tilts her neck at me and Elysia.

"Uh, did you figure something out?

"That's a trick."

"Eh."

To Mize's surprise, I explained.

"I would have said that earlier, too, Elicia. Because there are many aristocrats in the hero family, even if the other person is a student council, one of these days they may divulge their dissatisfaction. So I set up an opportunity to stab the nail before it did. … that's when the hero students who spoke were planted"

"Oh, really?"

Mize is good at it.

Whether you want to raise your temper or avoid later troubles, this way is a little risky. But Mira didn't even put the fear of the risk on the table, and let it play out perfectly until the end. As a result, the morale of the eagle group has been very high since the first day, and I guess the lion group is the same.

"Player, student union."

"Well, it's an organization that supports such a huge studio. The selection criteria for officers must also be strict."

The student council seems to be quite a powerful organization among the schools.

It's extremely troublesome when a rotten sex-rooted person has power, but the student council doesn't have that look. I guess it's a mechanism where you can't get student council seats, at least with money or power. Elicia's right, the student council is a doer. I can also trust you so far.

◆

After school.

The Eagle group students followed Mira's instructions, just like the other day, for consideration of the second day of competition.

"The second day's events are three: Drive Race, Exodus and Gladius. If each of you is fit, please be prepared."

Me and Mize have been judged fit for the second day of the event as well.

I'm a drive race, Mize is an exodus.

"Drive racing is an event that pairs with physical racing. This one uses the magic equipment of the vehicle to race. … the course is the same as physical racing, but there is no magic limit"

Nod at Mira's explanation.

The faces gathered were almost identical to those of the physical races. Both are named races. I guess similar aptitudes are required.

"This is the vehicle… 'Wingboard'"

It was like mounting a steering wheel on a boomerang big enough for people to ride. The boomerang-shaped scaffolding and handle are connected by steel thread.

"The 'Wingboard' was developed four years ago in the Kingdom of Terraria, but it has not yet been popularized to the public by the chaos of the war. In the past, we demonstrated at Builders School to improve the visibility of this vehicle, but because of its high reputation at that time, it has now been incorporated as an official competition"

The events of the competition festival also seem to have a lot of history.

"The drive race is also in relay form, but it will not be the baton that passes to the next runner, but this' wingboard '. Today's practice gives top priority to getting used to maneuvering the' Wingboard '. After splitting into teams, try running the course for about two weeks each."

After splitting into seven teams just like the last one, the 'Wingboard' maneuver began quickly.

"Ooh..."

Ride your body sideways against the front and grip the handle connected to the steel thread.

When he emitted magic from his entire body under the "Ligament" procedure, "Wingboard" floated into the universe fluttering.

The operation is easier than I thought. This can also interfere with other athletes in parallel with driving. It is unclear whether there is a speed limit, but when approaching the ground or the building, the speed was forced down mechanism. Safety aspects are also taken into account.

I've had numerous rare experiences when I belonged to an institution, but this is the first time I've ever flown in the sky with a vehicle like this. Turn off the handle and respond to avoid collisions with other students in the air.

"Finally, let's compete lightly."

Carry the 'Wingboard' to the starting position and ride on top of it.

"Nice to see you again, Too Eight"

I can speak to the students next door.

The man was the same first runner as me the other day, and this is how he spoke up.

"I lost the physical race yesterday, but now it's time for me to win"

That said, the man focused his consciousness on the race that was about to begin.

So who is it, you?

◆

Drive racing practice ended without delay.

The last easy competition put my team in fourth place.

"Mr. Tweet, how was' Wingboard '?

To Mize's question, I'll think about it for a moment before I answer.

"That's funny inside. It was a valuable experience."

"So the event you're competing in is also a drive race...?

"No, I'm going to make it a physical race"

To Mize, who rounds his eyes, he explained.

"'Wingboard' is funny, but for what I'm unfamiliar with, I'm going to have a rundown when I have to"

"Borough, is it..."

Less favorable, but Mize knows my past to some extent, making it easy for me to have a conversation.

Borough means I might reveal who I am.

"During the production, do any of the visiting audiences see who Mr. Tweet is?

"You'll be there for sure. So honestly, I don't really want to stand out at competitive festivals"

The Builders School produces many talent at the core of the Kingdom of Terraria. The Magic Competition Festival, which demonstrates the strength of students, will be a great place to evaluate the talent of the kingdom. Therefore, inspections from other countries must also be vigilant. I don't have a close relationship with the agency or the bureau right now, but it's a hassle no matter which way they come into contact with me.

In the first place - if you're referring to an audience that knows who I am, His Majesty the King falls under it.

I just want to be at peace as a student. For me, I don't want to engage with those extremist powers for a while. You'll have to take care of a lot of things when you go on the competition.

"Then we start practicing Exodus"

I say aloud to the students who were in small pauses that Mira passes well.

"Exodus will be done in a special environment, so folks, come about me"

Follow the directions and the eagle group students leave the ground.

The guide was preceded by two vast mazes.

"This is a huge maze made by connecting outdoor practice areas. We'll use this environment for real."

From what I've seen, this maze seems to be inspired by the labyrinth.

Unlike the labyrinth, there is no upper or lower hierarchy, but the know-how of labyrinth exploration will be available for this structure of passage and room assembly.

"Exodus will compete in two teams, the rigging squad and the escape squad"

Mira starts explaining the competition.

"First the rigging squad traps inside the maze, then the other team's escape squad breaks through that maze and so on and so forth. Each squad will have five, and the number of people eventually able to escape will determine the wins and losses. The only magic that can be used by the rigging team is the fixed-point installation formula. Escape squad is unrestricted."

Listening to the explanation, I asked Mize next door a whispered question.

"Mize was chosen by Exodus, wasn't she? You know why?

"I think it's probably because I got good grades in seating. As far as I can tell, this competition called Exodus seems to have a lot of magic to do with winning and losing."

"Did you do so well"

"No, the... it's my power"

Mize says, looking guilty somewhere.

I was convinced of the attitude and the words.

- The Way of Wisdom Road?

It's a special magic that can inherit the owner's memory one after the other. Mize's head, which inherits this magic, accumulates immense knowledge.

It's about the serious Mize. I may feel like I'm cheating, but originally, magic is an area where the talent I was born with greatly influences me. You won't have to worry too much about it.

"Which squad are you going to hope for?"

"This is the escape squad. Because I'm going to live the experience of exploring the labyrinth with you before.... Oh, but you hadn't been through the untangling yet"

Sometimes there are traps set in the labyrinth.

But in the labyrinth exploration that I also did with Elisia and the Grans last month, I never got hooked on a trap.

"... the center of the floor is naturally to be wary, just after you bend the corner or watch out for changes in terrain"

I say, checking the structure of the maze in front of me.

"And you should be careful near the exit of that corridor."

"Is it near the exit? Not in the aisle."

"Everyone in the aisle is on guard. There are many patterns that go through there and hang traps on reassuring arrow tips. Depends on the arm of the opponent team's trick squad, but you should be careful"

"Okay."

Exodus practice then took place.

As declared, Mize entered into a trapped maze as an escape squad. I'm overly alert. Took me a long time to break through, but when I get used to it, I'll be able to shorten the time. At first, vigilance for difficult traps can also be a simple task if you know what to look for.

"It's amazing! If you pay attention to where Mr. Tweet was saying, you could really avoid all the traps!

Mize, who had finished her practice, said with her eyes shining.

"In production, it seems the maze structure can be laid down... but in any case, you might want to remember the conditions under which traps can easily be set"

"Yes!"

I ask a question to Mize, who sounds like she's having fun.

"Is Mize going out to Exodus?

"I'm going to. Because I think it's for me."

With that said, Mize inadvertently became a mysterious face.

"Mr. Tweet too...... you're really very good at this competition, aren't you?

"... maybe"

"Isn't Mr. Tweet answering? I don't care if you compete in a competition other than aptitude."

I took a moment to think about the answer to that question.

Truth be told, I was considering competing in Exodus.

But earlier, when I saw how fun Mize seemed...

"... How did Mize know she was fit for this competition?

"Huh? That's because... if I knew all kinds of magic, I thought I could handle all kinds of traps. And... I thought it would be good training to work as an adventurer."

"That's what I'm talking about"

To Mize, who answered my expectations, I go on.

"The school will be a place to set the future course and get a little closer to it. I'm not looking to be an adventurer, so I thought it would be more meaningful to give up seats to others."

"... Really?"

Mize depresses.

Daimyo, you're thinking about whether it's good for you to fill that seat even though there are people who can do better than you. For your own convenience, it's a mise that shows your ability to act, but it can be cowardly when others are involved. Personally Mize can take a slightly more graphic attitude.

After a brief break, the practice of Gladius, the last event of the second day, took place.

Gladys is a one-on-one winning battle. The only magic available is Ligament, which makes it a pure fleshshell battle. The students judged fit were all militants to see. The high percentage of the hero family also has no choice, due to the nature of the competition.

"You're a little late. Let's break it up today."

After all the practice, Mira tells the students.

It's time for the sunset, by night. The students returned to the dorm looking tired.

"Let's go home, too"

Says Mize, who slapped and removed the dirt from his athletic clothes.

But I couldn't get back to him, and he looked at the school gate silently for a while.

- Who is it?

I only see it for a moment, and I remember the shadow that disappeared like a sumptuous.

I have no idea. I don't think I'm a student because of my physical appearance......

"Mr. Tweet?

Mize tilted her neck next door.

"Mize. Let's give you a lift to the dorm today"

"... Huh!?

On the way Mize was surprised by the tide on her cheeks.

"Uh, uh, that's... nothing, that's fine. What's the sudden matter?

"That's just how I feel"

"Ki, mood, are you..."

Slightly perplexed, Mize accepted my request.

Yesterday I was alone in the division between the men's dorm and the women's dorm, but today I will send Mize to the women's dorm.

"With that said, what happened to that black bracelet I bought last month?

"I still have it."

Mize takes the black bracelet out of her uniform pocket.

It's an accessory I bought last month in the village I stopped in the middle of an escape. Because the cut Mize bought this from was definitely in line with the miniaturized condition of my BF28.

"I'm using it as a amulet. Remember the memories of that time."

"To call it a memory, you've made it so hard."

"Sometimes it was hard, but it's an important memory, including that. I will never forget that time I spent with Mr. Tweet."

Like an important treasure, Mize was holding her bracelet.

The bracelet itself is by no means an expensive substitute, but when you say that much, it seems good to buy.

"Hmm, I wondered... are those memories inherited in the Path of Wisdom as well?

"... Yes. I'm sorry, that's uncomfortable for Mr. Tweet, isn't it? I can't believe other people in the red know about me."

"I don't mind because it's unrealistic for me. What about Mize more than that? Anyway, if it's just useful knowledge, don't you remember not wanting to see too much?

"That, indeed, is true. But you have a good memory, right? My two generations ago, for example, the owner was locked inside a small tower, but every night, a near-year-old knight came to see me in confidence. They were very honest and loved each other."

Mize speaks with a lucid look.

I'll try to visualize Mize's story in my head. In short, it's...

"You mean you have memories about the affair?

"J-!?

Mize dyed her face bright red.

"Oh, that! That's right, it's okay, it is! That...... because you have proper control!

"Control. … which means you only watch when you want to."

"I didn't see it! I haven't seen that much! Well, just a little bit... just a little bit, occasionally... or so, so!

Mize dyed red to the ear theorizes.

Fine, I think I'm watching.

"Well, then, I'm done, excuse me"

We get in front of the girls' dorm, Mize says.

"Thank you for sending me.... because I've only seen that, really, a little"

"We'll talk about that again."

"Oh my God, I will never!

So he yelled, and Mize went back inside the girls' dorm.

After I lost sight of Mize's back, I take a breath.

Even if you look around, there's no suspicious shadow.

"... you didn't come in contact"

You didn't attack me because I was there?

No, it wasn't tracked in the first place. I guess you weren't willing to raid us from the start.

- You're saying the purpose isn't Mize?

It is more natural when it comes to nature. The problems surrounding Mize have just been solved last month. I don't have cluttered aftercare that would cause the problem to flare up in less than a month.

Let's stay alert for a while.

However, this time... where it doesn't matter to me, I feel like something is moving.
