Chapter 256

Chapter 256

Opening 251.

One hour before the start of the competition, the entrance to the 3rd Colosseum began.

Of course, the Colosseum is the place where the ‘sixteen entrants’ arrive.

Therefore, among the citizens, there were many people who rather enjoyed the street festival and watched the competition.

In particular, he said in advance that it was possible to watch the course until the end.

Except for the scope used as a “race course,” they were trying to enjoy the competition while eating or drinking normally.

Well, in the case of nobles, it has nothing to do with street culture. Everyone was in the 3rd Colosseum.

The nobles were seated one after another in special seats prepared on the second and third floors of the Colosseum.

Were the goals of such nobles different?

Someone to cheer for their aristocratic children.

Some just for political purposes and connections.

Another person is to confirm in advance who the ‘next aristocratic powerhouse’ will be.

Is that expected? Or whether it’s a check, it’s different for everyone.

With such a variety of directions, they gather in the academy where all the talents of Eugracia collide.

“It’s amazing… … ! Look at the exclusive seats of those nobles.”

“Gares-sama and Deut-sama!”

“Two of the Golden Knights!”

“There is Solen-sama on the other side too!”

It’s a force that can’t be called just a student fighting contest.

Missing Golden Knights – Gathering of golden knights except for Liquia Demon Rucker.

Especially because three of them, Gareth, Deut, and Solen’s children participated.

Among the nobles as well as citizens. In fact, this competition was giving expectations enough to be called a ‘second generation fight’.

Of course, it’s not just the Golden Knights.

The head of Ragnaril, Pelinor Emes Ragnaril, and Camila Emes Ragnaril, who is currently a powerful next-generation Alchemy Guild Master.

And- even the group of observers sent by Igarit.

The 10 aristocratic observers were seated in the VIP seats, radiating their own presence.

On the other side of the grandstand, there were factors from ‘other races’ as well as nobles.

Blue Wolf Clan. Black Lion clan.

To the Ontras royal family, even the dwarfs.

People of various races were gathered in numerous places.

Citizens, who usually do not see many other races, must have admired the sight.

However, whatever it is, the thing that attracts the most attention right now is-

“Look over there!”

“Academy Special Observers!”

“Safra Observers!”

“It’s Princess Lapis!!!”

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

A woman who has already won tremendous public interest even in Eugracia.

It was Saffra’s second princess, Lapis Ellensia Saffron.

Lapis got up from her seat and waved her hand slightly toward her citizens and nobles.

Although it must be hard to see from afar, her spirit and halo do not fade.

At the gentle greeting of a woman called a saint, the audience is fascinated by the momentum that will melt away in an instant.

Citizens and nobles alike, beasts, elves, dwarfs, everyone’s face will blush at that laughter.

Of course – the teenage aristocrats did not react to that.

Seeing the saint who has hidden so much of her nature, she just smiles with a fake smile.

“Tiana, did you say there was no contact after that?”

“Yeah, not at all. … … It seems that Eud met the dwarf once more.”

“On the dwarf side—well, there’s nothing to worry about. He’s not that smart.”

“The boy, should she be innocent or stupid? She was a bit of a strange kid.”

“It is true that it is strong. Well, I don’t have anything to do with Selena or Eud today. Nothing to worry about.”

The Phoenix family, who were seated in the VIP seat, each looked at Safra and talked.

“huh… … It’s too dirty to see. That woman.”

“That’s right, Dad. Even if you don’t see it with your own eyes, you can feel it.

“That’s not a human atmosphere.”

Cattleya’s side- Roseveld, Cecily, and Ronia also instinctively notice the essence of Lapis.

“… … .”

“Hey, Lorona. But you can’t even look at it openly!”

“Ah, Ronia sister. I don’t even know.”

Loro I hastily achieved what she almost turned on her magic eyes in an instant.

Maybe it was because she saw someone who might be a threat to her sons and daughters.

Lorona, her nerves were even higher than it had been an hour ago.

Gareth is an old man sitting with him-

said to Ainz Torrand.

“-If you have any problems with ‘Einse Ong’, please tell me right away.”

“Hey, you guys brought me here. Come now, don’t say that.”

“Yeah, Ains was really nice.”

“Ah, the father-in-law doesn’t matter!”

“Say a few more words to this naughty smirk, Ains!”

“… … I’ve been confused since a few days ago, are you really in a relationship with your father-in-law?”

First of all, that’s right.

Eventually, as Roro went out and raised her arms to strike her in the back, both men bit her mouth shut.

Seeing the two of them sullen, Alberto coughed for a moment before continuing.

“Still, Ainsu, didn’t you want to see your grandchildren’s matches too?”

“I’m not really looking forward to one. huh.”

Ainsu snorted as he thought of the young, yellow grandson.

Of course, this Ainsu also had high expectations for the other granddaughter.

“Miss Anat, I’m sure she’ll do just fine.”

“… … Alberto Even if you don’t tell me. cologne. know. Cologne, there you are.”

Ains repeated coughing several times.

Her body is still not good.

He should always be calm, but he came here on purpose.

The maids of Phoenix, who were waiting behind them, hurriedly deliver a medicinal tea containing soothing elements to Ainz.

“Thank you, everyone… … . Whoa… … . That kid is a hard worker. heh, what This time, even the ugly brother seems to have changed his mind. You can expect a little bit.”

The current head of Torrang and the grandfather of Anat and Jax.

Ainz Torrand secretly conveyed small cheers to his grandchildren while drinking medicinal tea.

* * *

And then again, Safra’s special audience.

Lapis expressed boredom behind an elaborate masked smile.

For Lapis, this waiting time is not even entertainment.

Even the citizens who cheered her on her, because she is a woman who only sees the words of the game board.

Many praises were heard, but not a single word reached Lapis’ ears.

Of course, among them, the current golden knights, and Cattleya’s gaze was also felt.

‘But what I want to see and hear is not you.’

All of this was unnecessary attention to Lapis.

Is there only one waiting?

After greeting her audience, Lapis sat down and looked at the match with ecstasy.

“- Lapis, you’re really, really good at acting.”

“Ah, May too praise.”

“… … If Chaos tells me to act like you, I will never do it. I’m going to run away right now.”

“Huhuh, if you’re acting as a saint, Chaos is going to explode.”

And next to Lapis.

A warrior in armor who sat with Safra’s ‘escort’ –

Mother Mage, disguised as -, looked at Lapis as if she was still tired.

“At this point, I want you to look forward to it. May, Eud means a lot to you, right?”

“… … .”

Beneath the visor of the visor that had been impeded, Mother Mage gave her a slight smile.

“Well, the last time I raided, I couldn’t attach properly because I was working on ‘Red Moon’ bitch.”

“Red Moon is a bit of a weirdo~ Don’t you listen to our kids~?”

“It’s all stellar. don’t listen to everything including you.”

“Ugh, I can’t hear you.”

“What kind of childish arguing kid are you?”

The two monsters quietly share a conversation that no one can hear because of the magic item.

A few dozen minutes later, at the top of the 3rd Colosseum grandstand.

A man stood up from where the Academy professors were watching.

It was Bernay Alfale who stood up. Current dean of the academy.

The audience must have understood what that meant.

The time is ripe.

Soon, Bernay picked up the staff he had left beside him.

The unsupplied staff that comes down to the Alfal family, ‘Clear Vice’.

It was Bernei’s main armament, and it was a necessary item for the progress of this tournament.

“Everyone, please cooperate.”

“Yep!!”

At Bernay’s request, all the first-class professors who were seated together prepare magic.

Was it a state called joint magic?

It was one of the highest levels of magic, where many wizards simultaneously cast “the same spell’s magic”.

“‘Clear Spear’.”

Geeeeeeeeeeee-!!

At that moment, magic items hidden throughout the Academy and Alcalasia react.

With Bernay as the center, he received the magic of the first-class professors and started maneuvering.

Immediately above the Third Colosseum, a large number of transparent spheres appeared.

It’s not just the 3rd Colosseum.

Even in the streets currently scheduled for the course of blocks A to D, spheres appeared everywhere.

Although there is a difference in size, their magic power and function are the same.

Citizens all over the city were startled one after another by the phenomenon in front of them.

Soon, a ‘image’ was transmitted over the transparent sphere.

The pixies spread across the academy began to transmit their sights.

Above the “clear sphere” of the street, the situation of the 3rd Colosseum was spread all at once.

[“Then, from now on, I will start the Vanquish opening declaration-!!”]

“!!!!”

A noisy stadium,

The academy and the streets of Alcalasia are filled with cheers even more.

“Obviously because of the scale, I thought that Bernay would use video magic himself… … !”

“It’s such a perfect perfection!”

“Magic that utilizes video magic crystal and magnifying projector structure in joint magic! Besides, did you add the perspective of Pixie who lives in secret at the academy… … !”

“It has become incomparably more precise than it was in the race 10 years ago! It’s even bigger!”

“As expected, Bernay Alfale! He’s a man called a geek! Even during these ten years, the development of magic has not stopped and continued!”

Those who understood the structure of magic, each praised Bernei.

Bernayini, who has been known to enjoy official matches since before.

In Eugracia, only Bernay would be the only one to continue the development of such anti-magic for the purpose of broadcasting the official war.

“What, that! Awesome-!!”

Tiana eventually opened her eyes, too.

[“-But before that, the tradition must first be followed.”]

At the same time as Bernay’s words spread through the magic megaphone.

The clear spheres of the Colosseum and Alcalasia reflected the appearance of two men.

The place where the two men are headed is now the center of the 3rd Colosseum Stadium.

It was the place where the Vanquish Opening Ceremony Foundation was placed.

“Kronas-sama!?”

“And the one next to me!”

“Zeek! Zeke Pelgidium! One of Safra’s governors, Ranunculus!”

Golden Knight and Ranunculus.

The two coordinators, Eugracia and Safra, took up their swords and headed towards the Foundation.

Soon, with the foundation in between, the two men holding each other’s swords- spewed huge magical energy over their swords.

The sacred white magic that Kronas is proud of.

The high-heat red magic that Sieg Pelgidium focuses on.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

A hundred and the enemy’s magic wrapped around the swords of the two coordinators-

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!

swung towards the foundation.

The Foundation, which received the collision of the two magical powers, eventually set off a huge flame.

Kwa Gaga River!!

――Ruckoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

It emits a flash of light, and draws a cross of enormous power over the sky.

It is the symbol of Vanquish, the shape of the ‘crucifixion sword’ and the signal of the start of Vanquish.

The spectators and the citizens of the city all lose their eyes to the magical cross sword.

[“From now on, the 72nd Vanquish will begin! Everyone, watch over me, fight the sword! Magic and knowledge! A hot decisive battle between students who want to win the top of the academy!! chemical reaction!!”]

At Bernay’s declaration, cheers erupted once again.

Well, there were many audiences who were bewildered by the word ‘chemical reaction’.

Soon, the video of Clear Spear changed to ‘Two Girls’.

[“Then, Firti d’Estia in charge of the preliminary round for this tournament!”][“It’s called ‘Flora Keynes’!”]

“Wow, Pirti- Huh?!”

Tiana, who was looking at the Clear Sphere, was startled by the voice she heard at her moment.

What the clear sphere is currently illuminating is,

Before that, floating in the sky of the 3rd Colosseum was Flora and Firti, who were riding on a small airship.

“Flora, why is she over there!? Why is that airship again!?”

As for the student council, Firti, it was only natural because he was originally in charge of the host.

But it’s a progression to Flora. It’s a phoenix faction!

No, not only that, it is also riding a small airship.

That’s an item I used when I was visiting the mansion three years ago and then it fell.

It was also an item that had been placed in the corner of Flora’s dormitory room from the beginning of the school year.

“Miss Tiana, that must have been where Flora used to ride… … !”

“Yeah, it’s the thing that crashed and exploded when they came to the mansion!! Then, the Vanquish sponsor that Agata-senpai was talking about at that time was Keynes Corporation!?”

“Oh my goodness. It’s also Flora.”

“Ahahaha! Soil Malone, I heard that Flora is up to something! It really was!”

Contrary to the absurdity of Tiana and Feria, surprisingly, Gareth and Lorona accepted them calmly.

[“-In each block in this preliminary, there are 113 people in blocks A to C! Block D is 114 people!”][“Double finalists are four per block! Only sixteen! And the rule of the race for this fierce battle is-!!”]

Then, over the Clear Sphere, the video of ‘Your Place’ was delivered.

It was the starting point of each block, prepared next to the temporary venue.

But what I see is-

[“This is a race where you ride the ‘Hovering Board’, a miniature high-speed magic aircraft developed by Keynes!”]

Hundreds of participating students were bewildered when they saw the ‘first-time mount’.

Of course, all the players of the Phoenix faction also pointed their foreheads.

Howard said, fair to all participants.

Yes.

It was fair to say that all of them were ‘obviously not able to ride’.

That man, Howard R. Zach Harland.

He didn’t really lie.
