eve 244.

“Actually, as you all know, this is something the student council should do, but Howard and the student council are all busy~”

“President Howard… … !”

“Are you sure you leave this to that ‘scavenger’? … !”

“Anyway, that entertainment monster!”

“Hey, I can hear everything, guys! All the kids who grumble right now blow away the malicious article!? Dig up all the Black History!?”

“Hey profit!”

“Today, I will do it while restraining myself. Stop complaining already!”

At the sound of murmuring around her, Agata quickly became furious.

But obviously it’s the academy students who are hungry for entertainment.

Even students like that have a reaction that can only be folded down.

What kind of evaluation do you get, that Agatha woman.

As Lainey told me last time, the Vanquish newsletter was also published with the aim of surprise.

It is clear that most of the direction is towards entertainment.

But surely Agata must be a middle-class aristocrat called the ‘Fority Family’… … .

In this school, aristocrats who are not aristocratic are surprisingly often seen.

Once in the words of Truth-

“Originally, during the semester where Vanquish is, the Vanquish preliminaries are supposed to be revealed in the lobby on the day when ‘all students’ scores’ are released- about 10-11 pm that night. It’s an implicit rule.”

From what I’ve heard, students in their 3rd year or older are aware of this fact.

It is said that Truth heard about it from the faction seniors in advance.

That’s why, earlier, Axius also thought that Eud and Radarus, who were freshmen, didn’t know that, so he came here.

Radarus is close to something I forgot by mistake.

When Eud looked at Axius, Axius smiled softly as if he had understood Eud’s intentions.

And once here, the reaction to Phoenix is-

“Anat-senpai, you didn’t know… … .”

“Anat, you didn’t know.”

“… … Ahh.”

It’s the third year, and everyone’s embarrassment towards Anat who didn’t know about this situation.

“Because last year has been so busy since the end of the hell period… … . Aww.”

“👌👌👌 You look stupid! You’ve been at the academy until the 3rd grade, and you don’t know a thing about it— Ouch!”

“Be quiet, Alice.”

“Alice, be quiet.”

“Hey hey.”

Alice, who laughs at Anat, is quickly subdued by Oltera and Irina.

After Ol Terra hits her in the head, Irina shuts her Alice’s mouth and Alice struggles.

Irina, whom I had seen in the Colosseum before, seemed quite intelligent and calm. Now that she sees it, she is surprisingly relentless.

No, though. Because everyone in the Phoenix knew Anat’s special position. She had no intention of saying anything.

“Yeah, it could be!”

“It’s okay! It’s not yet a valid hit, Anat-sama!”

“Anat sister, cheer up.”

Anat, who was depressed, was hurriedly comforted by Droway, Francis, and Lenian.

When he was comforted by his juniors, Anat’s face turned redder.

While attending the academy, the vanquish that students experience is ‘two times at all’.

Those who are well aware of this pattern are students who belong to a ‘faction’ or have an active community.

The students who had gathered here in advance would be the ones who were there.

“Uh-huh, anyway- As Howard’s representative, I’ll keep going!”

Agata pressed the switch of the magic item that the newspaper members had put down on the podium earlier.

Simultaneous with the squeaking sound

From a square box-shaped magic item, a light containing magical power was projected onto the wall behind the podium.

What was eventually completed- should it be called a simple bulletin board?

It was a form that was quite familiar to the three phoenix siblings.

magnifying projector.

When you put a piece of paper inside a magic item, it is enlarged and projected on the ‘screen’.

It is also expensive to make large paper.

It was also introduced from last year to Phoenix and Keynes.

However, you can’t just be distracted by it.

The paper that the projector now shone was – ‘The Vanquish Qualification Method’.

Students all over the lobby moved around to see it.

In the place where the Phoenix and the large factions were gathered, there was no need to move because the contents were sufficiently visible.

“Vanquish 10 days from now with no schedule change! As always, as predicted! On that first day, the Japanese qualifiers will be held!”

It was a rule that everyone knew until then.

“And the way of qualifying is- ‘4 blocks’ individually and simultaneously!”

“Four blocks?”

“Simultaneous?”

“Ah, is it similar to using the old four Colosseums?”

“okay! From Block A to Block D! We will divide all participants into 4 equal parts!”

According to ‘Evi’ and ‘Mileen’ of the Ragnaril faction last time, there were about 400 or more participants.

If so, it means that more than 100 people are assigned to each block.

It’s better than 400 people running around at the same time, but-

“It’s still pretty crazy.”

“right. Because 100 combatants are moving at once.”

“No magic, no swordsmanship, no martial arts, and no arrows will fly!”

To Eud’s murmuring, the two older sisters agreed.

100 people may not seem like a lot if you put them all together.

In fact, when all of those personnel start to clash, it’s usually not a melee.

Besides, most of them are students who have learned combat skills.

The other factions and students, each of them buzzing there, conversed.

However, at first glance, it seemed that it did not deviate from expectations.

Everyone seemed to be preparing for some countermeasures. There was a somewhat relaxed attitude in the voice of the conversation.

sure-

The large faction knew well that it would never end there.

“Of course, it’s not just survival as expected. I’ve already used that method before!”

Agatha smiled as she looked at the murmuring students and turned the pages of the projector to the next.

The content that came up this time was a huge ‘map’.

“It’s Alcalasia Square, that one!”

“It is painted all the way to the outer wall of the square!”

Was it like looking down from the top of ‘Alcalasia Square’?

And on the four ‘doors’ on the outer wall of each square, the letters A to D were written in a clockwise direction.

A-D.

Yes.

As I said earlier, this is the participant’s block.

“The rule of this qualifier is the race! Now, at the four entrances written here, four groups of participants start at the same time! And, it is a first-come-first-served basis to determine the finals!!”

“!!!!”

“There are a lot of obstacles, so look forward to it!!”

The dormitory lobby grew louder.

* * *

Simultaneous obstacle race of over 100 people.

In each block, the first students to arrive are counted from the top, and the finalists are selected separately.

“In this Academy Vanquish, ‘Princess Lapis’ is also there, and it is expected that there will be a lot of factors and tourists! So, this time, we decided to use the entire plaza!”

“Then you’re saying it’s all visible to the citizens, not just observers… … !”

“A lot of tourists will come!”

“Yeah, that’s it! The purpose of this qualifier is to ‘enable all citizens to see melee battles regardless of their status’!”

Truly, it was a gigantic show using the city.

Was it an academy-like way, hungry for entertainment?

“So, of course, magic OK, weapons OK, fighting OK- All actions related to battle are OK! Driving obstruction is basic! Destroying obstacles in the way, or releasing magic to sprint is OK! And the goal is – ‘The Third Colosseum’!!”

On the map, the Third Colosseum was exactly in the center.

Start all at once, aim for the center all at once.

“there-”

And there, Eud quietly raised his hand.

“Oh, yes, the leader of Phoenix, who is being bullied every day by my sisters, Eud-sama!”

“Ugh… … . Noonas, Lenianne too, I’m embarrassed, so stop-”

“No.” (Tiana & Selena)

“Cuckoo.” (Lenianne)

Did Agata seem to know everything about Eud’s daily life?

No, not many people in the academy don’t know about it now.

Axius and Radarus giggled as they looked at the shy Eud.

Still, I’ll have to ask you a question.

“Agatha-senpai, but aren’t you telling me how to do it?”

“Oh.”

“Are you running? Or ride something.”

“Ah.” (Selena & Tiana)

“!!!”

Still being pinched by the older sisters, with Lenian holding her tight, Eud asked it.

“Looking at Chuck, I was about to tell you the next thing, Agata~?”

“I think you were trying to jump over the word ‘obstacle race’.”

“Have you ever played a simple obstacle race about 10 years ago? Right, Oltera?”

“okay. It’s a rule I’ve already used. Of course, it was an intramural race back then. It is definitely a duplicate.”

Axius, Radarus, and Truth – The leaders of the ten noble factions nodded at Eud’s words.

“Ahaha, I got caught.”

The noise in the lobby grew even louder.

Darst said in a nervous voice.

“Besides, Agata, you didn’t even tell me how many people you’ve entered.”

exactly.

Probably because most people take it for granted, “10%” remains, so I didn’t say it.

Nevertheless, Darst seemed to have noticed a change in the number of entrants this time.

“How many people are there, this time?”

“-Dast as expected. Like the face of a prince with a dirty personality, his eyes are terrifying every time~☆”

“Don’t be sarcastic. Go back, Agata.”

“The way you talk is scary~☆”

Being a middle-class nobleman who spoke rudely to a teenage nobleman, it was truly a fearless sight.

Still, he only made harsh words, and he didn’t say anything more than that.

Even though it looked like that, the two didn’t seem to have a bad relationship.

“—Well, according to the support, first of all, let’s talk about the ‘race method’— but, in fact, it’s still a secret! I’m sorry, Eud!”

“Eh.”

“What is it, frustrating! Yumma, say it right! Uh-huh!”

In the end, Carltus roared and asked.

Also a black lion. I can’t stand being bored.

Except for Thermi, the other black lion harems were also chasing after them.

“I can’t help it~! This is because the process is a bit complicated right now! – Well, it won’t be a problem! For now, I’ll just say that it’s definitely a ‘hurdle race with a mount’!”

“It’s a ride… … . But really, that scavenger is just right every year… … .”

“This really can’t be nailed down… … .”

“Ah, Sauld, Thermi! Talk hard!”

At the sale of the blue wolf and the black lion, Agata gets angry once more.

Still, I’m sure it’ll ride.

It must be said that it is different from a race that uses physical abilities.

Thanks to this, some of the beastly factions had a little bit of regret.

Among the races currently in the academy, they are the most physically capable. It’s a natural reaction.

Conversely, the human race – especially the general students preparing for the competition, showed half relief and half ambiguity.

“It’s a ride… … . I’m glad it’s not a physical confrontation.”

“But if it’s like a horse, we’re the problem… … .”

“Because I didn’t learn much about magic.”

“I thought you were going to take it as a liberal arts course… … !”

Because horses are basically expensive.

In particular, there is a saying that the better the breed, the higher the price of a mansion.

Moreover, if it is a race, only those who know how to handle horses at high speed have an advantage.

Usually, it is mostly high-ranking nobles who learn such things.

Then, it is natural for ordinary students to be anxious.

“The youngest has been practicing magic and Betty, haven’t you?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“right. Betty was patient and waited a lot.”

At Tiana’s words, Ewood nodded his head.

He’s still got his cheeks pinched by his sisters.

Even so, Tiana and Selena were no longer pinched, but turned into a prankster.

“… … Betty? who?”

“Ah, the words of our mansion. Follow Eud!”

“But we don’t follow.”

“Then you are a female. As for the name.”

“(nod)”

The conversation between Lenianne and her two older sisters that went on in an instant made Eud bewildered.

Anyway, while Eud was riding Betty in the mansion, he learned high-speed driving directly from the coachman ‘Hegi’.

Still, if he made it through the qualifiers with magic… … I wonder if there is an imbalance of equity.

Then Agata continued, as if trying to reassure the other students.

“It’s okay! To be sure, this mount is fair because Howard and the ‘sponsor’ said! He mentioned ‘probably everyone will be able to ride without problems’!”

“Fair?” (Eud)

“Sponsor?” (Darst)

“Okay then, let’s turn the story to the next one—!” (ignore)

“It’s really, really, really crazy… … .”

In the end, Darst grumbled with a lot of stress.

Even Eud wasn’t a favorite of Darst, to be honest. However, did I understand this time?

Other leaders nod their heads in the same way.

“Well, right now, this isn’t the more important thing. As Darst asked, ‘number of entrants’.”

With those words, the lobby became silent for an instant.

After confirming that all her gazes were on her, Agata spread her arms wide and marked the number with her fingers.

Oh my gosh!

One thumb on the left hand.

One index finger on the right hand.

Maybe – Is it representing 6 and 1?

“Six and… … one?”

“61 people!”

“Oh, I guess there are a lot of them… … !”

I expected about 40 people, but it turned out to be more than 60. Everyone is feeling a little reassured.

But Agata was immediately startled and waved his hand.

“Oh, I’m sorry. mistake mistake. Opposition.”

“Opposition?”

“Not six, not one-”

At Agata’s words, the projector’s screen changed to the next chapter.

And the number written there… …

16.

sixteen.

“Currently expected number of participants. Ranunculus candidates, even ‘prodigy Eighty’, about 450+1 people! The number of finalists – only 16 of them. Yep! Only 4 people on a first-come, first-served basis per block will advance☆

At such a small number, everyone could not help but be puzzled.
