Magicraft Meister Part 3

It was almost the end of the break time, so Jin and the others decided to leave the hangar.

"By the way, Marikka, I seem to have interrupted their maintenance time. ...... is it okay?"

"No problem. They were only allowed to do , not , so they had plenty of time."

"Yes, that's what you said."

"Yes. During the competition, you are not allowed to make any changes until after the finals.

"That's very strict."

So you have to play the first round, the semi-finals, and the finals three times in a row, and it is strategically important not to get damaged in the process.

"......Hey, Daikie?　Hey, Daikie, Cocona, let's go!"

Jin, exiting the hangar, noticed that the two were not following him, turned around and shouted.

"......Yes, yes. ......Gou-kun, see you later."

"See you later, Mr. Goh."

"Yes, sir."

Daikie and Cocona came out of the hangar at a quick pace.

"I see you two have become good friends," Jin said.

Jin said, and Daikki and Cocona nodded.

"Yes. She's just a shy girl, but when you talk to her, she's very honest.

"She just seems to take a step back from adults, or maybe she's still traumatized from the accident.

Jin was impressed by Daikie and Cocona's insight, wondering how they had managed to see so much in such a short time.

At 1:00 PM, the competition resumed.

<<>

I see, there was a time when they did that in the summer Koshien, Jin recalled.

The results of the re-drawing are as follows,

Number 2: Rubina Garrett, delta wing aircraft against Number 8: Florence Fahlheit, retreating wing aircraft .

Number 3 Gough Agert, delta wing vs. number 6 Werner Randle, delta wing .

It was a tie.

Unexpectedly, it seemed to be a matchup between two women and two men.

"First, Rubina and Florence..."

against number 8, Florence Fahlheit's retro wing ! >>

The crowd cheered and applauded.

The start signal is given and the two aircraft begin their run.

They took off at about the same time and began a rapid ascent.

As they were about to ......, Rubina's < broke off the rapid ascent and shot at <> from below.

Florence was the first to sense this and contacted the piloted golem, and although it was dodged, it was quite a novel tactic.

"I see. ......"

Jin was convinced that this type of plane had its own appropriate battle strategy.

Existing tactics and maneuvers are good, but we also need to be flexible enough to come up with new methods of warfare.

"Brother Jin, I think this will be more interesting if you limit the number and speed of bullets.

Erza, who had been silently watching the game, suddenly said something like that.

"Yeah, that's true. Unlimited number of bullets, aiming and landing almost at the same time, and so on. Combat will be different."

Jin added, "But whether it will be fun or not remains to be seen.

He also wonders if it would be a good idea to make it too close to realistic combat.

"That may be so," he said.

"I think the judgment should be made by those who are competing and those who are watching.

Hmmm..."

While we were talking like this, two planes were climbing up into the sky to battle it out.

"I can see what's going on."

"Yes."

The filming method provided by Jin allows us to see the battles that take place at far higher altitudes on the magic screen.

"Both of them are very good.

Both planes are making full use of their maneuverability and moving around to avoid being hit by bullets.

It is difficult to settle the battle in this situation.

At that moment, Reiko noticed something interesting.

"Father, Miss Elsa, that ray gun seems to have a time lag between when you press the trigger button and when the ray is fired.

"What?"

From what I can tell, it takes about a second.

"huh? ......"

Jin thought it was an interesting experiment, although he did not know whose idea it was.

"That would be pretty interesting. ...... And maybe the color won't change unless the irradiation time is longer than a certain period of time?"

"That might be difficult. If it is slightly off, it will be invalid.

"That's also true. ......"

While they were having such a conversation, the two planes were trying hard to get behind each other, and their wings almost collided with each other.

It looked as if the nightmare of the previous final match was about to return, but the piloted Golem maneuvered quickly to keep a safe distance and avoided a collision.

However, once the Golem had gained some distance, the dogfight began again.

"It's worth watching, isn't it?

"Yes, it is, my dear."

Reinhardt and Bertsche are also watching the competition.

All the spectators watched with bated breath as the heated battle unfolded 2,000 meters in the air.

Finally, the time of the decisive battle arrived.

One of the white clouds floating in the blue sky happened to drift in between the two planes.

The two planes plunged into the cloud.

When the two aircraft emerge from the cloud two seconds later, the winner has been decided.

"Oh ......"

The paint around the engine of Florence's < was bright red.

<! >>

The crowd cheered loudly.

"There seemed to be very little difference in performance between the two ...... machines, so maybe it's the performance of the Golem."

"Brother Jin, what do you mean?　From what I saw earlier, there seemed to be almost no difference in the performance of the golem.

Erza questioned Jin's words.

"From what I've seen, Rubina's golem's < is quite good. Especially sensitive to infrared rays.

"Oh, so that's why you were able to locate the other plane in the clouds?"

"Yes, that's what I'm saying. Probably because of the last collision we had when frost on the windshield obscured our view."

"So you're saying that Florence wasn't involved in the accident and therefore didn't feel it that acutely?"

"I'll have to ask her about that."

Rubina's golem was not much different from the other participants in terms of reaction and movement speed, but it had better visual sensors.

This was the difference between light and dark.

Next up was number 3, Goh Agert versus number 6, Werner Landl.
