Episode 101
Day 14 of the Olympiad.
20 minutes before the magic quiz battle finals start.
I was waiting for the game to start in the waiting room alone with Adela.
“Adela, you should have rested at the inn, too.”
“are you okay. I like watching the game more than resting.”
By the way, Sunchan and seniors did not come to the stadium today.
Anyway, I was the only one participating in today’s game, so there was no need for everyone to come, so I told them to rest well at the dorm.
“And I’m not even participating in Battle Survival. There is no reason to rest.”
“Do it. I must have been bored alone at the dorm.”
Everyone said no matter how much, we had to go with the cheering car, but when we told them to take a break in advance in preparation for the battle survival that will start tomorrow, they immediately changed their stance and said they would rest quietly.
“I hope everyone is getting a good rest, right?”
“I’m sure you’re resting well under the care of the condition managers.”
Everyone should be resting as much as they know the harshness of Battle Survival.
“Or you could be lightly training under Shinwoo-senpai’s lead.”
“Maybe.”
As someone who says training in moderation is helpful for rest, I think you are training at a moderate intensity.
But, well, that’s not entirely incorrect. Senior Kang Shin-woo is the next most thorough person after me when it comes to conditioning, so there is no need to worry.
“I am a little worried.”
“what? Are you afraid I will lose?”
“no. Not today’s game. The game tomorrow.”
“Battle Survival?”
“yes. I wonder if I can do well without the two of us.”
In this Battle Survival, a total of 8 players per team will participate.
Divided into two groups of four, each survives in Field A and Field B, and the final winner is determined in Field C, which will be held on the third day.
In this match, Adela and I were eliminated.
I fell in because I had no choice but to drop out to save my participation card.
Adela fell in love with it because she had to adjust her condition in preparation for the next Battle Survival match.
“Trust your seniors and Soonchan. You will do well.”
“Is that right?”
“Thinking objectively, winning the championship will be difficult, but he will definitely give you good results.”
It’s a match that Dahlia and Kyle will definitely participate in, so winning will be difficult, but I’ll give you a decent result.
Everyone is capable of that.
“Rather than that, today’s game hasn’t even started, are you already thinking about tomorrow’s game? Are you a bit sad?”
“… … Are you sad?”
Adela tilted her head at my sad expression and tone.
“You’re not interested in my game, are you? okay. okay.”
“… … yes?”
Adela’s pupils dilated in bewilderment.
“No, I don’t mean that… … . I thought I would definitely win today’s match… … .”
Adela fidgeted and made excuses that weren’t excuses.
Small trembling eyes and lost hands.
While going around with Jin Hee-yoon sunbaenim, my emotions came out quite a bit on my face.
“no. I understand everything, so you don’t have to make excuses.”
“That’s not an excuse… … .”
reaction is significant.
It’s not as good as the ultra-luxury punching bag Sunchan, but Adela also has her own way of playing around.
this lively response.
It looks and feels fresh.
“… … Are you kidding me again?”
Did Adela’s lively reaction make me laugh without even realizing it?
Or is Adela noticing her because of her recent pranks?
Adela glared at me with her ax eye.
“Oh, I heard you.”
I trembled with a smirk. Adela’s eyes grew more intense.
It was Adela’s own silent protest.
“sorry. even I did not know. I won’t do it next time.”
“… … that word. You know it’s already the fourth, right?”
I’ve been playing pranks on Adela a lot lately.
It’s a trivial pun like today, but Adela, who shows a pure reaction to such a light prank, is so funny that I end up playing pranks without realizing it.
It tastes different from Sunchan, so it is very fresh.
“It’s real this time.”
“That’s the second word.”
“Kuhm.”
I cleared my throat moderately.
“ah. than Adela. Do you know anything about the summit pyroxene?”
And he immediately changed the subject.
It is best to avoid unfavorable topics.
“Don’t talk like that again… … Is it the pyroxene of the summit?”
It seemed that Adela, who was trying to put an end to the apparently awkward topic change, was interested in the new topic that was presented. She said that she was the top of the line and asked about a new topic.
“Why is that?”
This pure side is really Adela-like. This is why I can’t stop playing around.
I’m sorry to say Adela.
“When it comes to Magic Stone, it goes to Sinbi, and if it goes to Sinbi, it’s Magic Stone again. I was wondering if there was some information in the secret committee’s database.”
“hmm… … . wait a minute.”
Adela operated her phone with a serious expression.
He is searching the database of the mysterious family to see if there is any information about the pyroxene of the summit.
“It may take a little while. That special magic stone might have a different name on it.”
“are you okay. Because it’s not really urgent.”
“yes. Then I’ll look for it slowly.”
“uh. Please.”
I looked at Adela, who was gathering information while dragging on my phone screen, and remembered what Mimir had said last night.
‘I can’t give a definite answer just with the information and appearances written here. If this is the magic stone I know, that’s for sure. The goal of the Black Mage Tower is this top pyroxene.’
‘Of course not. It could be another magic stone that looks similar. There is no guarantee that the magic stone is still there.’
‘So heir. Please gather some information about the summit’s pyroxene. I need to know if the magic stone is the magic stone I know or not.’
‘If the magic stone I know is correct… … .’
last.
Mimir said this with a serious expression on his face.
‘That magic stone must never be stolen by them.’
‘never.’

―As expected, these three survived until the end! Shin Ha-yul, Sarah Ceylon, and Mya Nerontia! As expected, the skirmishes are unfolding!
The magic quiz battle was running towards the end.
Five of the eight finalists were eliminated, and now there are three left.
Korea, USA and UK only.
―In a fierce confrontation that is unknown. Round 3 begins.
Round 3.
Since it is a match that mixes battles with quizzes, it is the final round where the full-fledged competition begins.
This round can be said to be the essence of the Magic Quiz Battle.
“Is it worth seeing? Seeing it on the field, even a quiet match like this is really good.”
On the other side of the crowd. A man smiled brightly, expressing his liking for the noisy atmosphere.
“Above all, this festive atmosphere. Big. I can’t stand it.”
What kind of reaction would there be if we solved all the monsters right here?
It will definitely be a better festival.
Oh, I miss you. I miss you!
The man licked his lips thinking about such a crazy thing.
-parade. Just in case, I warn you, but don’t do anything stupid.
A voice came from the wireless earphone the man was wearing in one ear.
It was the voice of Tkish, the executive of the Black Mage Tower.
“I will not. No matter how much I am, I’m not big enough to disobey his orders.”
A blonde foreigner with a normal impression that you can see anywhere on the street, with short hair decorated with scratches and sharp eyes.
The parade was currently in a state of changing its appearance with Tkish’s mimicry magic.
-How is the situation?
“situation? I wonder if I even need to say it. As expected. It’s full of guards.”
A parade swept around.
“Oh. One, two, three 7th circle mages. Roughly, there are more than five people.”
The security is brutal beyond the strict level.
“There’s also a tamer over there. I want to have a big bite.”
-parade.
“know. that’s just what i said Seriously, it makes me speechless.”
The parade roared.
I think I’ll get a scab in my ear because of Tkish who keeps nagging me.
―Do you think that is enough for the security guard?
“no. still not enough I think there will be no problem in carrying out the operation if it is increased by at least 1.5 times here.”
I don’t know if it’s too much expenses, but I said that the meaning of the expenses should be increased.
-Right. As expected, the attack by the security team was not enough to raise awareness.
“Eh. these stupid bastards. What are you doing all of a sudden focusing the security?”
As if the parade was a nuisance to the world, I tore my ears.
“In the past, the Black Mage Tower would attack! If you do, all the power in that country gathers. I don’t know how the status of the Black Mage Tower has fallen to this point.”
Eh tsk tsk.
The parade was tongue-in-cheek.
“What is Shadow?”
―The 3rd magic stone warehouse is still guarded. It is said that the operation cannot be carried out unless the guards are raised there.
“As expected.”
Parade laughed, saying that his prediction was correct.
“So what? Should I turn it over properly now? Unleash the monster? Then wouldn’t these bastards come to their senses and put all the guards on this side?”
– Calm down. If that happens, the Olympiad itself will stop, and the top pyroxenes that have reached the 3rd magic stone storage will return to the deepest storage.
When the Olympiad is stopped, the MVP award ceremony also disappears.
Then, since there is no target to award MVP, the top pyroxene naturally goes back to the 1st magic stone warehouse. It goes back to the deepest warehouse that exists in the US military’s top military secret facility.
It shouldn’t be like that.
“So what? Shall we attack the security team or the steering committee in moderation again? If you kill them all this time… … .”
-no. Judging from the scale of work, that’s weak.
Even though he used hints and threw baits, judging from the fact that he responded only to this extent, it seems difficult to raise more than this amount of money for a dizzying task.
―This time, I’m aiming for a bigger game.
“leading figure?”
-okay. It doesn’t matter who it is, but I’d like it to be someone with the highest level of realization and high social status.
“aha. That’s what makes them properly alert. Not bad.”
Parade stroked his chin and grinned. It’s a method I like quite a bit.
“Then you or I should move this time.”
―I guess so.
Unless you’re an executive level, you can’t deal with high-ranking wizards of Circle 7 or higher. Parade and Tquisch this day. One of the two must move.
“Then I will do it.”
Parade twisted her neck and stretched it. The thump thud sounds cool.
“I was still a bit sore. Great.”
-okay. then leave it
“what. Why don’t you say anything?”
You can’t believe it, so I’m going to go out. I’ll leave it to you, but be careful. I thought you were going to nag all sorts of things.
cool beyond imagination
-There is no reason to do it. I don’t know anything else, but I can trust it in battle.
Although T’Kish hates everything about parades, he recognizes at least one of his fighting abilities.
A parade is perfect for this.
“what. I thought he was just a clogged guy, but he knows more than I thought. Mmm ha ha.”
I laughed as if the parade was pleasant.
“The target doesn’t matter, right?”
-okay. It doesn’t matter if anyone meets the conditions mentioned above.
“You mean that?”
Parade narrowed her eyes and looked around.
who would be good Who should be dealt with in order for rumors to spread that they have been well dealt with?
“oh.”
Then, suddenly, beyond the window, a huge lump of mana caught my eye.
“Tkish. Didn’t you say you prefer someone with a high social status?”
-okay.
“Then he is perfect.”
Two people watching the game in the VVIP room through the window.
Shin In-hyeok and Kim Kang-in.
“I didn’t like the fact that he started fighting over everything.”
Among them, Parade twisted his lips while looking at Kim Kang-in.
