Chapter 257

Chapter 257

Opening 252.

“No, what the hell is this!?”

“Children of Keynes, what else have you prepared!?”

“board!?”

“Obviously, I’ve heard of boarding in some provinces in winter… … !”

“I heard that you ride in the sea!”

All the spectators were astonished at the objects seen in the Clear Sphere.

Maybe it was the audience, merchants from all over the world, magic item craftsmen, and everyone was in shock.

The small airship that Flora and Firti are on board right now is honestly quite unusual.

Still, it was a somewhat familiar situation because Keynes Corporation repeated advertisements here and there.

But that board- it was really the first thing I saw.

A sophisticated yet sharp design board made of iron, wood, and magic stones.

Several devices were attached to the board to prevent it from slipping steadily.

A very optimal response for Flora.

It was a satisfactory response like when I gave a presentation for the ‘salon holding’ about 10 days ago.

[“Like I said ‘fairness’, the mount for this qualifying round is a hoverboard that flies!”]

“That little crab can fly!?”

“It could be possible!”

“No, but in recent years, looking at how small airships are gradually being completed… … !”

Of course, including the small aircraft, up to the current board.

It all went according to Flora’s plan.

Of course, it was quite difficult to get the permit.

Items using floating manastones used in the Aircraft process are complicated every time.

To this day, general airships have to be approved by the state to be able to operate.

In any case, it is not only the audience who are surprised by this situation.

All the students, who have to race soon, are all confused.

And the starting point of block A.

“Ugh.”

Axius quietly climbed onto one of the over 100 boards.

“Axius!?”

“Axius-sama!?”

“Aha, I know roughly what the structure is, this one!”

ji ey ing.

… … Boo ah ah ah!

At that moment, the board that had been sitting still began to move.

Along with the sound of a windmill turning, a magical reaction unique to floating magic stones.

yet-

Doo woo woo!

“Wow!?”

“It flew! Like real unfairness!”

The hoverboard Axius rode on floated to a height of about 1 to 2 meters in an instant.

“This is hardening using the ‘Stem of Magical Power’ – if you infuse magic power with that sense, you can burn enough. It’s surprisingly easy, really~”

“It’s such a feeling… … !”

“Wait, so you’re saying you can use it just like you would to strengthen a weapon or arrow?”

[“-That’s it!”]

“!!!”

This time from another Clear Sphere, a noisy voice was heard.

What was reflected in the Clear Sphere was Agata Pority on a hoverboard.

“Agatha Pority!”

“Is that the ‘scavenger’ of this generation!”

“Entertainment Monster!!”

The evaluation of Agata and the Shinmunbu was absurd even among the nobles.

Agata said while riding a hoverboard next to the small aircraft.

[“Preliminary event, ‘Hoverboard Race’! As you have just seen, how to use the hoverboard can be learned in an instant by using the sense of ‘hardening of magic’! In fact, I’ve been riding for five minutes now!”]

Still, was he quite proficient in riding posture?

Magic hardening is a skill that any Academy combat student can do.

To be precise, it was the minimum requirement to become an Academy combat student.

Strengthen the body by infusing magical power over the body.

It is a technique that increases the durability and power of weapons and arrows.

Upon hearing those words, movement was also seen in blocks other than block A.

“The sword of Phoenix has also moved!”

“The next heir to Ragnaril!”

“Metri and Igarit from Block A too!”

“The blue wolf and the black lion beasts are also starting to board one after another!”

“That- Eighty Actymile! Even a special participant!”

There is no hesitation at all.

He gets on the hoverboard at the words, “You know when you ride it,” and gives magical power one after another with a sense of magic hardening.

“Aha, is it like this!”

“It’s moving, it’s moving!”

“Oh oh oh oh!!”

Many of the students, who were initially bewildered, understand the feeling.

This was the hallmark of this Keynes Company’s ‘masterpiece a year ago’, the hoverboard.

[“This hoverboard is an item whose boarding difficulty is completely different depending on the magic control technology! The higher your control skills, the more you can ride as if you were moving hands and feet!”]

If you know how to handle magic, you will immediately understand the feeling of riding.

Is it a feeling like an extension of the body?

It meant that those who did not neglect their magic training would be able to handle them ‘like their own body’ as soon as they connected the magic stems.

And in other words-

“Oh, look over there! Quite a few students are staggering!”

“Right… … ! If you haven’t polished your magic control on a regular basis, it’s hard to understand how to ride right away!”

“That must be another qualification necessary for this qualifier!”

“The first filtering starts here!”

It is said that before the race starts, ‘the difference between those who practice hard and those who are lazy’ is revealed.

‘Unique combat sense’ – It also depends on how excellent each individual’s capabilities are.

Flora and Firti continued explaining the rules.

[“Then four block participants, please learn how to ride as it is!”][“As I said before, the race will be held in a battle royale format! Students who start from each block will compete for the first 4 students per block!”][“The destination, of course, is the Third Colosseum!”]

“Again, only 4 people per block!”

“Out of so many students, only 16 are able to advance!”

Most of these people in Alcalasia have already heard of the rules since morning.

After all, watching and listening to hundreds of participants, would you have realized the tightness of it even more?

[“There are many ‘obstacles’ on the race course! The point is to move forward faster than anyone else, dealing with each player and obstacles!”][“And as an additional rule of the race, if the board is destroyed, or it completely falls off the board! In that case, it will be considered as an immediate disqualification… … !”][“Ah, don’t worry about the board being destroyed, as we, Keynes Corporation, do not claim compensation!”]

Flora’s words were also humorous,

On the one hand-

[“-You are free to destroy your rival’s board☆”]

Naturally, it meant that they were very tolerant of aggression.

[“Also, if you fall off the board, you either ‘do not fall down the course’, or ‘if the board you boarded first remains afloat’. Returning to the board does not count as being eliminated… … !”][“However, in the hoverboard, only the occupant’s magic energy is the energy! As soon as the boarding is released, the maneuver stops within 5 seconds! All participants, please be careful!”][“In some cases, it is also possible to board ‘other opponents’ boards’!”][“Finally, all combat actions and obstructions are prohibited until outside the first ‘1 section’ in every block! Also, there are no obstacles in section 1, so please drive peacefully when you first start!”]

Almost certainly.

This qualifier will be the biggest fight of all time.

Everyone opens their eyes wide in anticipation of the melee battle.

Nobles, too, how well their children will perform in the melee.

Looking forward to the students who will stand out in this generation, Clear Sphere.

After that, various small preliminary explanations and messages continued for about two minutes.

Before long, Firti and Flora’s appearance disappeared from the Clear Sphere.

[“Then let’s start the Vanquish qualifier race from now on!”]

With Firti’s voice, all clear spheres again illuminate the starting points of each course.

More than 100 students per block, each descending from the board, await the declaration of the start.

[“-Come on, everyone in their place! count down!”][“Dean Bernay!”][“Well!”]

At Flora’s call, Bernay, who was sitting in his seat, stood up with a ‘Magic Megaphone’.

[“3! 2! One!”][“-Everyone, let’s go!!”]

Whoa woooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

In response to Bernay’s declaration of departure, the gunpowder installed in each block exploded simultaneously.

All students boarded the hoverboard at once.

The Vanquish qualifiers have begun.

* * *

Geeeeeeee!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

“-Wow?! fast!!”

“There are some things that are a little unsettling, but the lead is quite fast!!”

“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!”

First of all, Flora and Agata explained that they could understand the senses only by ‘burning’.

As expected, the difference in skill was evident from the start.

Those who can’t go straight to high-speed driving.

Even those who are moving quickly, but out of balance.

In addition, everyone is equipped with weapons such as swords and staffs for battle.

Freely speeding in such a situation would be a fairly limited action.

Nevertheless, there were already some who stood out there.

“A block at the top?!”

“That’s- DAST and its faction members!”

“Axius and Truth are following them!!”

Would it have been natural if

Currently, the 10th largest nobility faction in Block A. Among them, the leaders of the ‘three factions’ started competing all at once.

Of course, as I said before, do not fight or interfere until you leave course 1. It’s a situation where you have to watch the game purely with speed.

However, widening the distance at once here is also a strategy.

No, it can be said to be a sure win method.

All three of them knew it and speeded up.

That means that even at the Academy, they are geniuses with an exceptional sense of magic control and three-dimensional sense.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!

At that moment, other groups also came in.

While sprinting along the highway at great speed, he followed Metri, Griffiner, and Igarit with certainty.

“-These bastards.”

“Hey, to Londerick, to Fold, to Ancus- oops, only annoying things came.

“Well, it’s a natural procedure.”

A middle-class faction and a faction belonging to the royal capital nobility. Their pursuit had begun.

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!

“-Well then, let’s try it!”

“Metri! Griffiner! Igarit! Phoenix!”

“From now on, the race of humiliation that you guys will go through!”

The group that has been chasing at once from the rear beats the teenage noble factions that took the lead.

With a vicious smile, he began to lead the lead group.

“… … what? uh? awhile.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

In addition, Truth, who gave up the lead side as if it was annoying, only then realizes that something is strange.

It’s not just the truth. Both Darth and Axius.

Even mid-level and royal road groups confidently took the lead.

I realized too late, ‘Why, one is not enough’.

“Wait, you guys?! The youngest of Phoenix, where is he?!”

“Weren’t you following me right away?!”

“The only one who’s chasing behind you is – Francine Lindgaard?!”

“Where’s that Eud?!”

Yes.

The youngest member of Phoenix.

There was no Eud.

At that time, Eud-

“… … Whoa.”

He hadn’t yet left the starting line.

Francine, the only mate on the current block, has already started her sprint towards the lead.

Eud was the only one left in all the blocks.

[“Uh, huh?! Mr. Eud- No no! Eud, why are you at the starting line?!”][“Sure, there are no specific start rules, so it’s not a problem… … ! why… … !”]

Were Flora, Firtido, and Eud bewildered at the situation where they stopped?

In particular, Flora, who devised the rules, must have felt embarrassed.

Jessica, who saw it on the ‘professional seat’, realizes the ’cause’ while she is anxious.

It is a special magical power that has interfered with Eud’s magic every time since 3 years ago – ‘spike magic’.

“Seol, I wonder if there is a point of magic here?!”

“The spiky magic, Jessica, that-”

“The master’s magical powers go through much more than other people… … ! Enough to break even the practice sticks every time! I’m going to put it on that hoverboard right now-”

“!!!”

“Then you’re saying that Eud’s magical power isn’t functioning properly as energy!?”

“Oh, maybe… … !”

DS, who watched the situation together, also looked at the start line of Block A with momentum to eventually vacate his seat.

A “hoverboard race” where you ride with magical powers.

For Eud, whose magical form was different from other students, it was the worst rule.

* * *

only-

‘… … Good. It started a little late though. done.’

That would be the case if ‘Eud had neglected to practice magic’.

Since learning magic from Jessica, Eud hasn’t missed a single day of mana adjustments.

Facing the ‘Mother Mage’, he realized his own shortcomings and continued to deal with spiky magical powers.

‘-Okay, adjustment is over!’

The start was late, but the preparations were over.

About 1 minute from the start of the race.

Boo woo woo.

hey hey hey.

… … Kwagwagwaaang!

Eud put his spiky magic power inside his hoverboard and infuse it with his power.
