At that time, a theater where you could watch the Coliseum game.
Right after the prince knocked down the two students with a single spark,
“Oh, as expected, Crown Prince! Awesome!”
“Those two strategies were good, but I can’t help it in front of powerful magic.”
“Even at such a young age, that level of output… … . What if it gets bigger?”
Admiration broke out among the professors and distinguished guests who were watching.
“… … You do quite well.”
Unfortunately, I thought so too. I was watching intently. Surprisingly, it was fun.
‘I never thought it would be fun.’
I thought so, wouldn’t there be a common massacre of the prince who was so insignificant. However, the two students, whose names were not known, fought on equal footing until then, even though they lost in one shot.
‘Last year, it wasn’t like this.’
Compared to before the arrival of the crown prince, the level has improved. Was it because he was stimulated by the existence of the prince?
‘Changing the rules was a proposal from Parabellum and an idea to annoy the crown prince, but it may have been a surprisingly good choice.’
As the degree of freedom increased, various strategies emerged. Owners of magical powers, which were at a disadvantage under the existing Colosseum rules, can now play an active role.
The result was a Colosseum different from the usual boring ones.
‘… … I wonder what the emperor is thinking.’
I don’t intend to pay much attention. However, because I was genuinely curious, I glanced to the side.
“joy.”
The emperor was frowning as if he didn’t like it.
While the people around him were praising and admiring the prince’s skills, he was the only one with a displeased expression.
‘… … Could it be that he doesn’t like the fact that he didn’t kill him?’
I pondered for a while. And I immediately stopped thinking about it.
There is no way humans can understand the thoughts of a monster.

“Good job. Take good care of your magic stone.”
I retrieved Agil and Xaril’s magic stones.
“I thought I was dying. To think I would have a heart-stopping experience.”
Zaril, who obediently handed me the magic stone, touched my chest as if he was still afraid. I was a little worried, but Katyusha’s CPR was successful.
“Thanks to the maid, I got better, but I’m breaking out in a cold sweat.”
For reference, it is said that the effectiveness of artificial respiration has recently been questioned in CPR. So no artificial respiration was given. I didn’t even teach you.
“Since you didn’t cover the blade, you’re both common. So why didn’t you save me?”
“That’s right. Thank you for saving me.”
Contrary to the cold first impression, Jaril, who scratched the side of his head and was embarrassed, was able to communicate.
“As expected, the word vampire was a lie. It was warm.”
“No, that’s not to say… … . The skin is just a little weak.”
It’s a very normal atmosphere to reply as if it’s embarrassing to Katyusha’s feelings.
“You have a surprisingly normal personality. I thought it was my own pace.”
“That, what can I say… … . If you keep holding your breath, your head will go blank. I can not help it.”

Is that cold and cool-looking image because he kept holding his breath? I thought it was kind of cool, but it turned into a stupid feeling.
“Okay, first aid is done, flying squirrel.”
“… … Why are you calling me a flying squirrel?”
Around that time, Mi-ryeong had just finished first aid for Agil at a distance. It’s a pity that he broke his arm while falling, and he ripped off his clothes and fixed one arm.
“Don’t say sorry. It’s just miserable to hear.”
Aegil spat out at Dimitri, who was looking at him as if he was worried. Dimitri nodded in agreement, so did he.
“Was it Neza’s brother? I never expected to meet you here.”
“… … I would like you to call me Egil, not Neza’s brother. Both brothers lost with this.”
Aegil let out a deep sigh.
“Isn’t it quite a great achievement that both brothers challenged the crown prince?”
“Except for losing.”
“I can’t help it. The flying attribute is weak against electricity.”
“… … is that so?”
“maybe.”
It was like that in Pokemon, so maybe it’s like that. I said it in moderation, but it’s difficult to ask too seriously.
“By the way, what is that strange weapon that hit me on the back? I was very sick. It still hurts.”
“Filling a sock with sand makes a great blunt weapon. If there is something urgent, use it.”
“I thought it looked like a sock, but was it really a sock?”
Aegil was stunned. I used what I saw in the movie moderately, but it was much stronger than I expected. I hope it doesn’t go out of fashion as a prince’s weapon. I was starting to get a little worried.
“Anyway, both of them suffered a lot. Let me remember the two of you.”
I said as I slowly prepared to move places. In particular, it is necessary to confirm that Xaril’s shadow magic is presumed to be something related to chaos.
Well, I’m not really interested in Agil, but I don’t know if there is a corner that I can use. There are some pretty bold corners, so there’s nothing wrong with remembering them.
“I hope that the Crown Prince will win the championship.”
“I don’t even have the strength to leave the field. I want to stay here and rest.”
We prepared to leave the building while being sent off by Egil and Zaril.
“Come to think of it, Zaril, wouldn’t it have been much better for you to wait until night before fighting?”
“ah.”
When I said what came to mind, Zaril flinched as if he had just realized it.
“De, after hearing it, I’m sure… … . The game period lasted until the 3rd, so it might have been much better to just hide in a nice place and move around at night… … .”
And why didn’t I know that?” he groaned.
“Daily hours and the existing Colosseum were implemented during Sin Week. Maybe he unconsciously had a stereotype that he had to fight during the day.”
“I guess so… … . Because I thought I wouldn’t go through the night. You have a better understanding of my magical powers than I do.”
“If you took the time, it would have been a tactic you could think of.”
In fact, the reason I can recall this is because in the original work, Xaril dragged it into a long-term battle, aiming for the sun to set.
“… … Maybe it would have been better without me.”
Aegil, who was listening to the story, let out a deep sigh.
“Because I suggested cooperation saying that I could create a shadow anywhere. Rather, it might have limited Xaril’s ideas.”
Aegil said bitterly. Was the combination of the two first proposed by Agil?
“It’s not like that. There’s no way you can hold out alone until the night, isn’t it? The supply and demand of weapons will not be easy either.”
There is no law that a strategy that I just thought of at a glance could be so perfect.
“The best way is to hold out like that during the day and go hunting in earnest at night. Well, you guys have room to do better, it’s not terrible. It was just unlucky that it was us.”
Aegil and Zaril were staring blankly at me as if they were surprised by my tidying up.
“indeed. I got a good lesson. It’s only natural that my brother can’t handle it.”
Egil smiled and said,
“… … Crown Prince is a good person.”
Zaril said something quite out of the blue.
“Isn’t it a bit strange to call a person who stopped his heart and broke his arm a good person?”
“Oh, no. But I want to be a much better person than I thought.”
“… … I don’t know what kind of image I am imprinted on the students.”
The crazy tyrant image is often useful, but sometimes it becomes disturbing.
Leaving behind the building where we fought with Egil and Zaril, we proceeded to the inner part of the competition area. The energy of the engagement could be felt from afar. Now I feel like I’ve got off to a good start.
“How many people are left?”
“Out of 60 total participants, 53 remain.”
“You know how to answer.”
The first to respond to the moderately self-talk was the magic stone in the chest.
“… … I feel resentful because I feel like I have been robbed of my role for some reason.”
Katyusha disassembled for some reason. It was to the extent that I mistakenly thought it was Katyusha’s answer for a moment.
The number of students we stole magic stones from was three, including the one we rescued from the train. If that’s the case, it would mean that 4 people were eliminated elsewhere. Did one team annihilate side by side?
“Do you know about rankings?”
“At this point, the student with the highest kill count is——Yujin.”
“… … Whoa. You do quite well.”
I thought my name would come up, but it was Eugene. Did you take down 4 people by yourself? I expected to be active in the Colosseum, but it was more than that.
Of course, it’s not a game where rankings are determined by kill count. Whoever survives to the end is the winner.
“We can’t lose either. Let’s keep going.”
However, losing to Yujin makes my stomach ache. So I decided to win.
“I think there is someone. Be vigilant.”
Mi-ryung stepped forward and said. I checked the surroundings by raising the boost I had been releasing for a while.
“One, no, two? You seem to be on guard.”
It was not a movement to actively approach this direction. Maybe you haven’t found this one yet.
“You all feel good. I have no idea.”
said Dimitri, narrowing his eyes and looking around. I also felt the slightest bit of mana, but it wasn’t in my field of vision, so I looked around, but didn’t notice anything.
And in an instant, a cool breeze blew.
“wind… … No one has the magic of wind anymore, right?”
Mi-ryung asked as if she was concerned.
“yes. At least among the participants, those who have the magic of wind, except for Agil… … ?!”
In an instant, the ground shook. And——.
“Ugh?! What, what!”
“Keoheouk?!”
“Ugh… … !!”
“Kyaaa?!”
An intense intangible shock hit us. Something invisible passed through me, hitting my entire body.
“Who, who are you! Where to attack, with what… … !”
Dimitri rolled on the floor, stood up, deployed the Ice Spear, and shouted. But there was no one around. I didn’t feel anything.
‘Is it the magic of the wind?! No, not like that! It wasn’t the wind from a moment ago!’
I almost flew off, but I barely landed and looked in the direction where the shock came from. I felt that there were people far away. but it was not visible
‘What was that feeling from a moment ago? like a windstorm… … ?!’
At the same time as reasoning, I realized. It wasn’t ‘like a long wind’ from a while ago.
It was the wind itself. It was a ‘shock wave’.
“Princess, what should I do?!”
“wait for a sec! I’m thinking too! Hide behind a building for now!”
I hid behind a nearby building with orders. But Mi-ryung sat down and did not move.
“Mi-ryeong! something there! in action!”
“Sin, sorry! I, my ears, my ears hurt so much… … ! ugh… … !”
Mi-ryung covered her ears and ran hurriedly.
“Joe, there was a roar from a while ago. Is everyone okay?!”
“Deafening noise? Didn’t I hear anything?”
Dimitri asked in bewilderment at Mi-ryung’s question.
“Mi-ryeong, did you hear a roar?”
“yes yes! I thought my ears would tear! Is everyone okay?!”
At Mi-ryung’s words that she heard a roar, something flashed through her mind for an instant.
‘Could it be that magic… … ?!’
It was a character that came out of a short short episode without a year with the Colosseum.
