--Tina''s side--


    The moment the coin dropped, I released my stored magic power.


    This game is in my favor.


    This is because the time to store magic power is set before the start of the game.


    I release the magic power I''ve stored and chant the magic name.


    ''''Sunlight (Sunlight)!''''


    At the same time I chant that with my palms facing forward, I meditate.


    ''''Nah--guh!


    My eyes, my eyes!


    Two of my opponents are suddenly blinded by the light, and their eyes are held down with their hands, unable to see their surroundings at all.


    This magic is so powerful that if I really did it, I would probably go blind, but this time I''m holding it down to the point where I''m blinded for a few dozen seconds.


    I think it''s a bit of a cunning move but I can''t choose any means to stay with Eric if I want to win.


    With the two of them in front of me, who have been hit in the eye and can''t see, I cast my next spell.


    ''''Light Restraint (Light Lock)!''''


    He chanted with his palms facing forward again, and this time several rings of light came out and flew towards them.


    Then it hit them, and their arms were restrained by the rings of light so that they were attached to their torso, and their legs were also restrained at their ankles.


    ''Nuh-uh!''


    Ah!


    The two of them were suddenly unable to move their hands and feet in the invisible situation and immediately fell down, losing their stance.


    The magic I used was light magic.


    This way of fighting was something I practiced in the week after the demon attack, thinking that I could do this kind of battle after thinking about how to become stronger.


    I thought that if I got stronger, Eric would rely on me, so I worked hard to figure it out.


    I''m very happy that I was able to do that well like this...!


    Yes....!


    At the same time as I muttered that, Yelle, who had been watching silently until now, started to speak.


    ''''It''s over. Splendidly, Tina-san has won.


    He clapped his hands lightly and said so - but the next moment I was facing hostility.


    ''''Eh...!


    I was a little late to react because it was so sudden, but I could see that Yele-san in front of me was going to attack me.


    --Hurry up and use your magic........!


    That''s what I thought, and I tried to store up my magic power--''


    ''''It''s too late,''''


    -- I was knocked to the ground, lightly shuffled off my feet.


    The view I was looking at suddenly changed, and it was only when I felt my back that I realized I had been knocked down.


    After realizing this, I realized that Yelle had paid for my leg with a light leg kick.


    It was too sudden and he hadn''t taken anything passive or anything, but the fact that it didn''t hurt at all was probably because he took it easy.


    ''''Well I''m sorry for being so abrupt. However, the fight just now was in your favor. By nature, a wizard would never be able to prepare and fight like that.


    Yes, I know.


    Well I wouldn''t have been able to do anything about it if Eric hadn''t held that man back when I fought with Eric.


    I''m sure you''ll be able to find out more about the fact that you''re not the only one. It''s a good idea to be able to use magic at any time. I remember it well because it has something in common with the Order.


    ''''Well let''s get up once.


    Oh thank you, thank you very much.


    He holds out his hand to me as I fall down, and I take it and get up.


    I brush away the leaves and other debris from my back.


    ''Well, you passed the test, but I think you''re a little frustrated that I knocked you down so soon afterwards.


    No, no, no, no...


    ''So ... do you want to play me again?　This time, Tina, you can take advantage and have them ready to go.


    ''''Please........''''


    Okay, then.


    After saying that, he goes a little farther away from me and then draws his sword.


    Then we''ll toss the coin as before. When it drops, we''ll begin.


    Yes.


    Even before Yelle tosses the coin, I begin to store my magic power.


    Then I pop the coin - and it falls to the ground.


    At the same time, I release my magic power.


    I immediately try to cast a magic - but I''m not sure if I''m going to be able to do it.


    ''''Yes, it''s done.''''


    ...What?


    He heard Yele''s voice from above and noticed that the landscape had changed again.


    I was also knocked down without being able to cast a spell.


    This time I didn''t know how Yele-san had defeated me.


    Before I knew it, Yele-san was defeated and was swinging his sword as if he could kill me at any time.


    We were a few meters away from each other earlier........


    ''''Your magic power seems to have reached the Magic Knights........but the speed at which you release that magic is a bit lacking in skill. It might be a good idea to learn something called chant breaking. I don''t know that much about it, so that''s all I can say, you''ll have to learn the rest in the Magic Order.


    ........wow.


    I was beaten, and a feeling of respect occupied my mind more than the regret of losing.


    The strongest person in my mind was Eric.


    I still don''t know if Yele-san is stronger than Eric, but even so, I didn''t know that there is someone so strong in the royal capital, a little away from this village...!


    I can go to King''s Landing and join the Order of Magic and I''ll be even stronger!


    And the more you can stand next to Eric, the stronger you''ll be...!


    As I was thinking about this in my mind I heard a voice.


    ''Get away from Tina--get away from Tina!


    The next moment, Mr. Yelle, who was in front of me - disappeared.
