The first match of this year’s Olympiad is a 5:5 siege match.
The game is a tournament.
It is a very simple way to win continuously according to the randomly placed tournament table and win the final.
Since it is a tournament, there is a high probability of facing a weak team in the early stages, and a high probability of facing a strong team in the second half.
That’s why most teams tend to save energy in the early stages and pour everything in the second half.
No wonder.
Even if you fight without strength, you fight against an opponent who wins, so there is no reason to give information with all your might from the beginning.
Of course, this is a limited story when meeting with a weak team in the early stages.
If you meet a strong team from the beginning, you can’t adopt any means such as fighting without strength.
Power from the beginning. Everything has to be squeezed out.
“… … The first opponent is the Korean team.”
“I’m not so lucky.”
“If it had been until last year, I would have thought I was lucky.”
That is the situation with the current Italian national team.
The first opponent is the Korean team, one of the favorites for this year’s championship.
Fight against a team like this without strength? It is impossible.
You have to do your best.
“ruler. Everyone calm down.”
“that’s right. The game starts in 5 minutes. Calm down everyone.”
“Except for one servant Ha-yul, we have nothing to lose.”
The Italian team is also a strong team. All 10 participating members are 4th circle users, and there are as many as two users of arcane magic.
It can be said that the overall team power is higher than that of the Korean team, which only has no 5th circle users, but has four 3rd circle users.
“Fortunately, in siege warfare, you can win only by occupying the opposing team’s camp. You don’t have to beat God’s rate. There are enough victories.”
“Then are you going to use that strategy?”
“uh. This is not the time to save strength to the rear.”
“okay.”
The strategy that the Italian team has prepared as a surefire way to win. I decided to use that strategy for this game.
―We will start the match in 10 seconds.
A notice from the guide announcing the start of the siege was heard.
The players of the Italian team took their poses with tense expressions.
– The siege begins!
The siege began, but none of the Italian teams left their positions.
Instead of leaving the spot, they began to hide in suitable terrain around them.
It was natural.
The winning strategy for the Italian team is none other than an all-in defense.
Everyone defends the camp, waiting for the attacking team of the opposing team, and attacking all at once when they arrive.
Slide and press the numbers.
Since it was such a strategy, there was no way he could escape his position.
‘The best thing is that the two of you come. Even if it’s three, it doesn’t matter.’
Originally, this all-in defense strategy would not work.
The opponent is not an idiot, and considering the possibility that he chose an all-in defense strategy, he starts with mana detection.
Usually, this mana detection is caught and the strategy is read.
However, the Italian team has arcane magic that disables mana detection.
Against the Italian team, the search card does not work.
So, a winning strategy.
The opponent has no choice but to choose one way to eat mustard while crying.
“… … leader. I’m here.”
Just like this.
“How many are there?”
“for a moment. I’ll have to come in a bit more to find out… … .”
The eyes of the teammate who was using mana detection suddenly widened.
astonished expression.
It’s an expression that makes you wonder if what you’re sensing right now is correct.
“… … one person?”
“what?”
“One person?”
A murmur grew among the team members.
I thought 2-3 people would come. That’s one person.
“And this mana… … . It’s God’s rate.”
The moment I mumbled like that.
“hi?”
A voice was heard from beyond the bushes. A voice heard only through the VOD of the strategy analysis room.
The voice of a man they are more wary of than anyone else.
“Shin Ha-ryul… … .”
Shinha rate.
He walked leisurely with his hands in his pockets.
“nice to meet you. Italian friends.”
Shin Ha-yul, who had approached a certain distance, turned his gaze one after another.
A total of five eye shifts.
I stare at the location of the five Italian teams hiding all over the camp exactly once.
“As expected, there are all five of them.”
“… … you.”
Even saying that he knows the location of his teammates and that, as expected, there are all five of them.
It seems that Shin Ha-yul was reading the plans of the Italian team.
The Italian team members’ expressions became serious. If the reading of this strategy is correct, it is they who are in trouble.
‘Could it be that there are four other people encamped around?’
‘If you’re surrounded, it’s dangerous!’
Going all-in is an act of taking that kind of risk.
As long as position occupation is a victory condition, the defending camp is unconditionally at a disadvantage when it comes to 5:5.
Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the Italian team members.
“Don’t be too nervous.”
Shin Ha-yul smiled with a relaxed gesture and tone.
“If you’re worried about the attack by the other four on our team, then you don’t have to worry. Because I am the only one here.”
“… … what?”
The Italian team leader’s eyes shone sharply.
“that… … What do you mean?”
“If you don’t know what I mean, can you be more specific?”
Shin Ha-yul took his hand out of his pocket and spewed out mana.
“That means I’m going to deal with five of you alone. Okay?”
“… … this bastard.”
A curse came out of the man’s mouth.
His anger rose to the top of his head at the words that seemed to disrespect the Italian team.
“You look good. I hope that expression will remain until the end.”
Shin Ha-yul lowered his stance.
Shin Ha-yul’s Infinity Circles oscillated as one.
‘Resonance.’
Around Shin Ha-yul, magic from the 5th circle appeared in succession.
Magics with even stronger power after becoming a 4th circle master.
It was a strange magic that far surpassed the power of the 5th circle that was not the 6th circle.
A whole parade of magic that should be called 5.5 circles.
“Block well.”
In the meantime, Shin Ha-yul was just laughing.

That night.
The schedule for the first day of the Olympiad is all over.
“Congratulations on the perfect first button, Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
With Soonchan’s toast, everyone shouted a toast.
Of course it’s not alcohol.
There is a game tomorrow too, would you drink alcohol just because you are crazy?
To begin with, I’m still underage, so I’m at an age where I can’t drink alcohol.
Everyone is doing that to cheer themselves up with sports drinks.
“Big. From the opening ceremony to the contents of the game, it was perfect, really.”
Jin Hee-yoon sunbaenim exclaimed with a ‘chee’ sound.
I can’t believe it was the reaction of a person who took one shot of a sports drink. Wouldn’t that be real alcohol?
“Don’t get too excited. The only thing that was perfect today was Shin Ha-yul. We did nothing.”
Kang Shin-woo said while holding the weight as usual.
“We are the new leaders, and the new leaders are us! That’s why we were perfect! Mmm ha ha!”
Jin Hee-yoon held a sports drink in one hand and patted Kang Shin-woo on the back with the other hand and laughed.
“Drink, drink!”
Then one shot of the sports drink again. Isn’t that a real drink?
It was an incomprehensible high tension.
“Hee-yoon has something a little happy about today, so that’s why.”
Ma Jin-seok approached me.
“Are you happy?”
“uh. Since it’s a family affair, what can I tell you? It just happened. Just know that much.”
“ah. yes.”
Ma Jin-seok’s gaze at Jin Hee-yoon is quite vague.
Jin Hee-yoon’s family history is also quite turbulent.
“Anyway, it was hard. Are you feeling better now?”
“yes. it’s okay.”
The aftereffects of resonance have now all been resolved. now it’s very fine
“already? Didn’t you say that if you do your best, there will be aftereffects for at least 12 hours?”
I didn’t go into detail about resonance, I just glossed over it like if I did my best.
Ma Jin-seok is talking about that.
“Originally it was… … . You said there was an achievement in the morning, right? Thanks to that, the penalty seems to have been eased a little.”
“aha.”
Ma Jin-seok touched his chin and said, ‘It was like that.’ he muttered.
“Are you really okay anyway?”
“If it’s your body, it’s really okay… … .”
“no. not the body Is it okay to show off your power like this from the first day? No matter how you think about it, it seems like a loss.”
“ah. That’s what it meant.”
Come to think of it, right after the opening ceremony, I was distracted, so I didn’t talk about the details of the changed plan.
“I said that I was raising the value as a bait, but I think I already showed enough of that value during the opening ceremony. What more did you need to do?”
It’s not really a look or anything. Just pure doubt.
‘Since it’s your job, I’m sure you’ll take care of it, but I’m still curious, so let me know what you think.’ It was the eyes that seemed to say.
“hmm. First of all, before we talk about this, we should talk about performance.”
performance.
At those words, everyone’s eyes turned to me. Everyone looks excited about my performance.
Among them, Adela’s expression stood out the most.
It was a natural reaction, as Adaline was very interested in the magic I used in my performance.
But what if I’m sorry about this?
What I am going to say from now on is not about the magic used in the performance, but about the approach from the Olympiad strategy.
“As those of you here know, didn’t I wear a special artifact called ‘Four Seasons’ during the performance?”
“uh. That contact lens type fraudulent artifact. Why?”
“Other teams wouldn’t know that I was wearing the Four Seasons to perform.”
My advanced baiting strategy started with performance.
* * *
The accommodation where the British team is staying.
In the small auditorium that was being used as a strategy analysis room, Maia Nerontia gathered everyone together and gave a briefing.
“Here, you can see Shin Ha-yul’s appearance taken with the mana analysis camera. Shin Ha-yul did not wear any artifacts during the performance.”
The artifact is a mana conductor.
As such, if you shoot with a mana analysis camera, only artifacts come out in a dark color.
However, there was no trace of any artifacts on Shin Ha-yul’s body.
“It seems that the mana is particularly thick on the pupil side. what is that?”
Kyle asked implicitly.
“It is assumed that this is due to the action of Shin Ha-yul’s magic eye.”
“aha. My eyes.”
Shin Ha-yul’s Mystic Eye is famous.
It is evaluated that it is similar to or more than Hong-ok’s eyes of Kim Gang-in, the blue mage tower master.
“hmm. So you’re saying you really put on a performance like that without wearing any artifacts?”
“yes.”
It was a natural conclusion.
There was no way they knew about the existence of contact lens-type artifacts worn directly on the pupils.
Even if that’s not the case, places like the eyeballs are also points where the mana response is particularly strong.
“And this is the data that analyzed Shin Ha-yul’s performance.”
All of Shin Ha-yul’s performances were filmed and data requested for analysis by experts in the UK.
It was a hot material that had just arrived 10 minutes ago.
“What is it written on?”
“hmm. The quality of mana, the report on the application power related to control, and the comparative value of the output are analyzed over 27 pages… … . Well, you don’t have to know all these details.”
Maia manipulated the PPT and the last page. I uploaded a document with the conclusion written on it.
At the conclusion of the data, this phrase was written.
[The estimated state of the above target is determined to be a 6th circle user]
“… … Shin Ha-yul is the 6th circle?”
“okay.”
Of course, this is the result assuming that Shin Ha-yul uses magic with his bare body.
If the British analysis team had known about Shin Ha-yul’s ‘four seasons’, this result would never have come out.
“If you add this material to that… … .”
Maia manipulated the PPT again and displayed the next data.
[Shin Ha-yul VS Italy team battle analysis result]
After the performance, the battle Shin Ha-yul showed was also filmed with a mana analysis camera and analyzed in detail.
“This is the result of the analysis.”
Maia only displayed the results this time.
[It is presumed that all the magic used by the above target is some kind of 5.5 circle level, beyond the level of 5 circle.]
[Judging from the fact that six of these magics were handled at the same time, it was judged that the use of magic was not excessive.]
[The state of the above target is estimated to be 6th circle.]
“Shin Ha-yul is the 6th circle.”
Maia’s voice echoed heavily in the small auditorium.
“In short, all the plans we had prepared to face the Korean team went blank.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
In this way, the small ball fired by Shin Ha-yul was affecting all teams, including the British team.
“We have to devise new measures to prevent the Shin Ha-yul.”
Shin Ha-yul’s advanced decoy operation was proceeding smoothly.
