The stands were overflowing with spectators.
The changes in the Newcomers Division Women's Icicle Destruction
event were quickly announced and intentionally set as the first match
of the afternoon to avoid conflicting with other events.
Not just the normal stands, but even the reserved seating area for
members was quickly filled.
There, Tatsuya could be seen sandwiched between Mayumi and Mari.
After finishing the calibrations for both their CADs, Tatsuya didn't
accompany either Miyuki or Shizuku, but sat in the last row of the
reserved seating area.
Before leaving, he left the two of them with these words.
The words, "Do your best".
"But in reality, you wanted to stay by Miyuki's side, didn’t you?"
Alas, the rare "well meaning words" took on a different connotation
when delivered from her lips as Mayumi revealed an evil smirk. For
some reason, whenever she was with Tatsuya, her fiendish side
seemed to rise dramatically.
"Yeah."
Undoubtedly because she was annoyed by Tatsuya's wooden reaction.
"......You sure admitted that easily."
Although she gave pretense to being mean, Mari's real nature was —
perhaps — much kinder than Mayumi as she interjected with her
almost signature retort.
"Do you know what Sister Complex means?"
"I don't think I follow. How does cheering on your own kin constitute
being a sis-con?"
His direct rebuttal while feigning ignorance had long since become
customary.
Except Mayumi and Mari had wised up to his tactics.
"Wow, did you hear that Mari? This child is actually confident in his
own cause!"
"Looks seriously ill to me. Is it hopeless?"
Isn't it pointless to loudly gossip about the person stuck between
them? Tatsuya thought. He was thoroughly helpless against this
special way of "bullying the underclassman".
This short skit was nothing more than the appetizer before the curtains
were drawn.
As if to prove this, when both players took the stage, the entire
audience fell into complete silence.
In the arena, two young women stood facing one another.
On one side, her white hakui and crimson hakama filled the eyes.
On the other side, tamotos the color of water flooded the vision.
Miyuki didn't bind her hair; Shizuku didn't bring an obi.
The long, wavy hair and silk tamotos fluttered in the slight winds of
summer.
The two young women were suffused with a suffocating silence.
This was the chilling "fighting spirit" that shared the name of this
purely magical contest and was far removed from its burning
counterpart.
The preparation signal light lit up.
The colors changed, and at the moment the beacon responsible for
starting the match went off—
Magic flooded outward at the same moment.
A heat wave rushed towards Shizuku's field.
Yet, the icicles stubbornly resisted the incursion.
The wide area heat wave from "Inferno" was denied by the "Data
Fortification" magic that stopped the changes in the icicles'
temperature.
The earth groaned as magic rushed towards Miyuki's field.
But the oscillations were stamped out the moment they tried to
resonate.
Wide area magic prevented oscillations and movement within her own
field and extended across the earth's surface and below it as well.
The two of them went back and forth, taking turns using phenomenon
rewriting on the other's icicles. This was a perfect stalemate, worthy of
the praise from all the pundits and experts — on the outside.
But the combatants involved didn't think so.
(I can't get in......! As expected of Miyuki!)
Shizuku's "Resonance" was completely rejected by the enemy field.
In comparison, Miyuki's heat wave was enveloping Shizuku's field.
"Data Fortification" is a counter magic used to prevent magic from
passing through and altering the Eidos.
It was unable to prevent the physical effects from magic.
Even if the magic couldn't directly influence the icicles' temperature,
the heated air would cause the icicles to melt. It was only a matter of
time.
(In that case!)
Shizuku stuck her left wrist with the CAD attached into her right
sleeve.
She pulled out a pistol-shaped Specialized CAD in her hand.
This was the final trump card that Tatsuya had prepared for Shizuku.
Shizuku pointed the muzzle towards the front row of icicles in
Miyuki's field and pulled the CAD's trigger.
(Dual-wielding CADs!? Shizuku, you managed to accomplish that?)
Seeing Shizuku's left hand also holding a pistol-shaped CAD, Miyuki
inwardly wavered.
Wielding multiple CADs simultaneously was her brother's trademark
ability. It was an extremely difficult technique that was almost
"unique".
Miyuki believed that, for someone who could so easily lose control of
magic like herself, it was far too soon for her to challenge that ability
that demanded absolute control of her psions. At the same time, she
was terrified of infringing upon her brother's favored technique.
However, at the current moment, Shizuku was wielding a second CAD
before her very eyes.
Without arousing interference from the psion signal waves, the second
CAD completed its Activation Sequence.
Instantly, Miyuki's magic stopped.
The sustained magic was curtailed in mid translation.
Now, Shizuku's new magic stormed forward.
"Phonon Maser!?"
Hearing Mayumi's gasp, Tatsuya privately applauded as if this new
magic had nothing to do with him: "She certainly is well versed in
magic!"
The front row of icicles in Miyuki's field started to give off white
steam.
For three rounds, Miyuki's icicles were untouched — at the magical
level — by her opponents, and were now damaged for the first time by
enemy attack.
Oscillation-Systematic Magic "Phonon Maser" — a high level magic
that raises the number of supersonic oscillations to form a quantum
heat ray.
Even if this was the tactic that Tatsuya gave Shizuku to defeat
Miyuki...... His expression remained oddly dark.
Not because Miyuki was in danger of being defeated.
But because he knew better than anyone else that relying on this level
of strength to surpass that sister of his was nothing more than a pipe
dream.
She faltered for all of one second.
Acting in concert with Shizuku's newly sustainable magic, Miyuki
also switched magics.
The rising steam from the icicles — the sublimation of ice halted.
Not because she blocked the heat ray formed by the shooting
supersonic waves, but because an absolute chill that surpassed the heat
of "Phonon Maser" had materialized itself.
Miyuki's field was instantly enshrouded in a sublime, white mist.
The mist gradually drifted towards Shizuku's field.
Miyuki knew that Shizuku would raise the inference strength on "Data
Fortification".
Despite this. Regardless.
(......Alas, you are too naive, Shizuku!)
The flowing mist was "cold air". Temperature change — magic that
prevented melting had no effect on this magic.
"......'Niflheim' .......That's impossible, right? What magical dimension
are we in here......"
Mari said in amazement.
Tatsuya shared that sentiment, but remained silent on the issue.
Wide Area Freezing Magic "Niflheim".
At the basic level, this technique ignored heat and appearance, using
magic to uniformly cool down all the objects within a set area. Even
so, in terms of practicality, this magic could be used to create
Diamond Dust, Dry Ice Particles, or even large clouds of nitrogen gas
in a pinch that could be advanced towards the target.
Likewise, its strength was building towards the strongest level.
The nitrogen mist passed through Shizuku's field and vanished near
the other end of the arena.
On one side of Shizuku's icicles — the side facing Miyuki that is,
nitrogen was coated on its surface, creating "dynamite" on the icicles.
Miyuki disabled "Niflheim" and once again activated "Inferno".
Shizuku's "Data Fortification" could only affect objects that originally
existed within the area and thus had no impact on newly applied
materials.
Lowering the temperature of nitrogen gas produced a cooling effect.
Likewise, rapidly heating nitrogen liquid at temperatures far
exceeding normal room temperature would instantly evaporate the
nitrogen.
Expanding it to 700 times its size.
With a huge roar, Shizuku's icicles collapsed as one. It was unknown
whether the roar came from the icicles hitting the earth or the roar
itself caused the icicles to fall, or even if it was caused by the gas
explosion.
The very fact that the icicles were shattered into tiny pieces testified to
the ferocity of the explosion.
The judges were probably stunned by this scene unfolding before their
eyes.
Hence they hesitated briefly before announcing the end of the match.
The stands were overflowing with spectators.
