Magicraft Meister Part 3

Jin D. expresses his opinion to <>.

"Do you have any guesses as to what kind of forces <> has?"

<><><>> and so on...

"...... you know that and you don't take any countermeasures?"

"Are you serious ......?"

Jin D's shoulders slumped in disappointment at the line he had heard somewhere before.

"How do you know it won't hit you?"

<>.

"Well, I don't know how fast it is, but could you show me?"

<

"I guess I'll have to do a mock-up, then."

So we decided to have a mock battle in a large hall three levels up.

The hall is about 30 meters in diameter. The height to the ceiling is 7 meters. It is large enough to take full advantage of our speed.

(Well, let's start with a small test.)

< side has all three of its pieces out.

Jin D decides to play <> 101 first.

Then, of course, all of the <> are out to watch.

"This <> is a technical golem, but not all of them are good at fighting."

Jin D then gave <>101 a whip that he had made in a very crude way out of some random material.

Since it was made of bronze, it was thought that it would not damage the alloy steel exterior of <>'s golem.

However, Jin D would soon fix any scratches.

"Then, let's begin!

The three-on-one mock battle began.

< was indeed moving quickly.

"But it's monotonous."

Linear movements alone are not enough to play with <>101.

>101 plays with the three of them with its ever-changing movements.

"Oh!"

"That's impressive."

"Jin, your golem is amazing."

<101 hit two of the versatile golems in rapid succession.

The other one was behind him, so he saw an opening and jumped out from between them, and <>101 thrust his sword at him.

But <>101 dodged it easily and used his whip to roll up the golem's sword.

"Until then."

Since this is only a mock battle and not a breaking contest, Jin declares the end of the battle.

<>

"What do you think, <>?"

<<>, who should have been watching the whole thing with his magic eye for surveillance, did not reply immediately.

But...

<>

He started to say something like a sore loser.

"Well, you may have a point.

"So it would be a pure contest of strength ......?"

"Interesting."

The <s seem to find it amusing.

"...... Then let's try it in a smaller space."

<>.

At Jin D's suggestion, <> quickly responded.

"Okay."

The next round was a mock battle in the corridor off the hall.

The team was formed with two <101s on one side and one on the other.

"Let's begin!

Jin D gave the order, and the mock battle began again.

This time, the players started from a clearly disadvantageous position, but they did not let it deter them.

By holding the whip short, I kept the tip of the whip from scraping the walls and ceiling.

First, he swings the whip in the direction of one of them to check it, then turns around and rushes toward the side where there are two of them.

Because the passage is narrow, the two cannot be side by side, and the <>101 wraps his short whip around his opponent's sword, taking away its function, and then kicks him in the front.

If his feet had spikes on the soles of his feet, he would take a lot of damage.

The golem that is hit by the frontal kick blows up and hits the golem behind it, causing it to stop.

The golem that was hit also fell down.

In the meantime, <>101 turns himself around once more and rushes at the lone golem. And .......

"<>"

He hit it with a water bullet the size of a baseball.

"Until then..."

Once again, Jin D. calls a halt to the simulation.

"Oh..."

This is .......

"I see, there are variations in fighting styles..."

< are frankly impressed.

"What do you think?　That waterball would have killed you if it had been heat magic.

<>

"That's good. Do we at least have to take measures against and ?

<

"Good. Let's think quickly. ...... Well, <>, do you have any good ideas?"

At this point, Jin D. decided to ask for ideas from the as well.

"Hmmm, interesting.

"Yes, it is."

"If it's a heat ray, is it reflective?"

"If the reflectivity of the surface of the shield is close to 100 percent, it would be possible.

He did not say how.

"I don't know ...... about the whip."

"Yeah. I think the only way to protect against such a weapon is with a shield.

"Or physical warding?"

It seemed that the way of thinking was not so different from Jin's group.

However, they seemed to like this kind of thought experiment, and the "Errato">> were happily discussing with each other.

Jin also expresses his opinion through the mouth of Jin D.

"......What about the whip, depending on the material, how about twisting it around?"

Hearing these words, the <s responded immediately.

"Hmmm, your opinion is interesting, Jin.

"It seems that earlier you were even twisting the sword in the opposite direction..."

"After the whip is entangled, it seems to be a contest of strength after all.

"If it's a place like the passage where we can face them one on one, we might be able to win if the three of us work together to pull them along."

<<>

"Something like the <>."

<>

"Oh, you didn't know. ...... is something like that."

Jin-D decides to make a model out of the materials that are lying around.

"<>"

"Oh!

"Brilliant!"

"This shape is ......"

The model of <> made by Jin D. looks a bit like a thick sword with one side jagged like a saw.

However, if you look closely, you can see that the jagged part of the sword is more uneven than the saw.

In other words, it is designed to be broken by twisting after being hit by an enemy's sword on the uneven surface.

Hence the .

Even a whip would catch on the jagged part.

.

<<> agrees.

"Okay, now all we need is some heat magic."

< reaches a climax.
