Magicraft Meister Part 3

Number 1, Shu's and Number 2, Rubina's are engaged in an evenly matched battle.

Since the two had battled each other many times, they must have known each other's moves well, and the time passed by with neither of them making a decisive move.

The audience watched the battle with bated breath, while the creators, Shu and Rubina, clenched their fists and stared intently at the dedicated screen.

This , by the way, was set up for the participants, so that they could see the golem's viewpoint as an image.

Jin would have been drunk long ago, but both of them are used to it and are staring at the screen with unconcerned faces.

"Well, it's a good match.

Jin thinks to himself. The audience is also watching the outcome of the game with sweaty hands.

(By this rule, straight flight is disadvantageous ...... unless you are always moving out of the opponent's line of fire.)

) With live ammunition, you can only fire when the moment is right, but with a ray gun, you can fire anytime as long as you have your sights on the target.

(Well, there are no fighter planes that shoot live bullets, even though they are equivalent to actual aircraft ......, and ray guns have not been put to practical use yet.)

When Jin wondered how long it would take for such a battle to be settled,.......

Perhaps not wanting a stalemate, Rubina's < made a desperate move.

She suddenly raised the nose of her plane.

Shu's , which had been in pursuit, is caught off guard and overtakes the <.

The <> suddenly lowers its nose and follows behind the <>.

"Oh, my gosh!"

Erza shouted.

"Oh, what did you say ...... what was it, a snake ...... yes, a cobra. It's incomplete."

"A cobra?"

"Cobra?" "Yeah. ...... a kind of snake in the world I was in."

The cobra is an advanced maneuver in which the aircraft lifts its nose from horizontal flight and then rapidly lifts it to the point of stalling so as to get ahead of and behind the pursuing enemy aircraft, just as a cobra lifts its sickle.

It is a dangerous maneuver that can result in a complete stall and crash if the aircraft's engine power is insufficient.

The Nile V successfully the Shiden.

The audience applauded.

Rubina's <> lands to thunderous applause.

"Rubina, we've been hit!"

Shu Nido, the producer of the , left his supervisor's seat and went to Rubina's seat, holding out his right hand.

"Shu was tough, too. Let's have another good match!

The two shook hands.

The scene was broadcast live in the stadium, and the two were given a hearty round of applause.

> versus Number 4, Greena Kuzma<<>!　This is Goh Agarto's first time competing! >>

"Go, Greenina, go!"

The crowd cheered and so did Freddy in the audience.

The two planes hit the runway and ......<> floated up.

The Greenwich < takes off two seconds later.

Those two seconds were huge.

The <>, which held the upper air, shot down the , which was not going fast enough, in a blink of an eye.

>, destroyed, shot down!　It is the victory of ZE3<>! >>

"Oh, Greener. ......"

"Too bad. ......"

Freddy and Ellis are disappointed. And Jin,

"Well, I'd say it's a strategy win, but before that, that plane looks like it has a small wing loading ......."

In other words, the wing area is large for the weight of the aircraft, and thus the runway distance can be shortened.

"Besides, we don't have any information on Goh because it's his first time competing."

"That's true."

Gough's team was able to think of tactics based on information about their opponents, but Greiner was not able to do so.

"They must have reduced the weight considerably ...... strength ......<>?"

A monocoque structure is one in which there is no distinction between the fuselage and the structural material, and the entire completed fuselage is a single structure.

It is characterized by being light and strong, but on the other hand, it has the disadvantage that damage or distortion of a part of the structure may affect the entire structure.

According to Jin's observation, Gou Agato's < had adopted this monocoque structure and had succeeded in reducing its weight by 20 to 30% compared to other aircraft.

"You're using lightness to the fullest ......."

This is proof that some of Jin's descendants, whom he had never met before, are also excellent.

Jin thought that he would like to talk with Goh later.

The battle between number 5, Schieleen Eschenbach's retro wing and number 6, Werner Landl's delta wing was decided in favor of .

And the match between number 7, Elvis Alcott's delta wing <> and number 8, Florence Faerheit's retro wing <>, was won by <>.

The top four are now in the final. Next up was the semi-finals.

Before that, there was a break for lunch, so Jin left his special seat and joined the members of the <>.

"Well, my hands were sweating," said Reinhardt.

Reinhardt said with a look of excitement on his face. Bertsche seemed to feel the same way.

"He's really like a child. ...... but I was sweating at that battle, too.

"Let's have lunch first."

I'm sure we will.

Jin, Reiko, Erza, Reinhard, Bertsch and the others went to the cafeteria.

Daiki-Cocona and his wife and the Turles also went to the cafeteria in their own small groups.

Freddy seems to have gone to console Greiner, who was eliminated in the first round, so he is left alone.

"Jinsha, everyone, this way!

In the cafeteria, Maricka beckons the group to her.

It seems that she has reserved a private room for us. Jin and the others are grateful for the room.

In the end, Jin, Reiko, Erza, Reinhard, Bertsch, and Maricka use the private room.

Meals are of course brought for the five of us.

Sandwiches, pasta, hot dogs, hamburgers, rice balls, and other assorted snacks were the menu for today's lunch.

"But, in a way, it was a big surprise, wasn't it?"

Jin said as he put the sandwich in his mouth.

"Indeed. That newcomer, Gou, is quite ...... impressive."

Reinhardt was also impressed.

"He's a kid who's just recently made a name for himself. She is my student.

Marikka said.

"What?　I've never heard of him.

"Yes, he asked me to keep quiet until he makes his debut, so I'm not ...... going to tell you."

"No, that's fine, but I'd like to ...... have a little chat with her later."

Jin said,

"She'll be happy to see you," he assured me.

Marikka assured me that she would be happy to talk to me later.
