088
“I’m here.”
When I entered the waiting room, nine pairs of eyes were directed at me at the same time.
“How is it?”
“Why did the steering committee suddenly come out? What’s wrong with you?”
The seniors immediately bombarded with questions. Everyone looks worried.
As soon as the round of 32 was over, the steering committee suddenly summoned me, so it is natural to be concerned.
“No problem. I just received some magic verification that deflected the magic sphere’s trajectory.”
“Magic verification?”
Sunchan tilted his head.
His expression asked why he had undergone a magic test.
“I guess I was suspicious that I had broken the magic orb’s trajectory in a negative way.”
“?”
Sunchan’s head tilted even more. Roughly, ‘Is twisting a magic orb enough to be questioned?’ It looked like he was saying.
“As the magic orb of tie-break is a sport, it is engraved with a magic formula to ensure fairness.”
Adela stepped forward to answer Soon-chan’s question.
“That’s why the magic that can be used on the magic sphere is limited. Damn, through mana, speed up or power up. I usually only do one of these two.”
“What breaks the trajectory?”
Adela shook her head.
“It is impossible. Throughout the 50-year history of tie-breaking, there is no record of a magical orb being deflected through a magic formula.”
“… … omg.”
Sunchan looked at me with a confused expression.
His expression seemed to say, ‘Did you write such a great thing so casually?’
“Since you did such an outrageous thing, it is only natural that you be summoned by the Steering Committee. Maybe he did something to the magic sphere. Maybe that’s what I was thinking.”
Adela turned to me and asked with her eyes, ‘Is that right?’
“that’s right. He immediately inspected the magic orb I used. After that, I had them demonstrate it again in front of him.”
In addition to that, about 4 magic verifications were completed.
“What about the result?”
“Of course I passed. I’ve never done anything like cheating, so what’s the catch?”
I can still see the faces of the members of the Steering Committee who couldn’t believe it even though they demonstrated it right in front of me.
“Of course it passed, didn’t it take too long?”
“The magic test itself was over quickly, but after that, I was caught by the people of the International Tie-Break Competition Organizing Committee and received various suggestions, so it took some time.”
“ah. I guess so. Having seen such magic right in front of you… … .”
Adela nodded her head in agreement.
“What? What do the International Committee people suggest?”
As Soon-chan first entered magic at the age of 17, he didn’t notice in this direction.
“A magic formula that breaks the orbit of the magic sphere. He asked me to sell it. With that alone, a more colorful game management would be possible.”
“aha.”
The magic match called tie-break is a game with history and tradition, but it is not very popular.
No matter how much history and tradition there is, what would you do with a sport that goes deep the more you know about it?
From the viewer’s point of view, there is no bursting taste, and the action is lacking, so the taste of watching is lacking.
It will be easier to understand if you think of Go.
We are fighting with each other, but to the general public, we don’t know what it is, and it’s a game that doesn’t really take care of it because it’s flat.
That’s just a tie-break.
“Certainly, if a variable called trajectory correction is added to the tie-break, it will be much more enjoyable to watch.”
“oh. Then may I take care of it?”
Ma Jin-seok and Jin Hee-yoon each said a word.
Even two people who know a little about tie-breaks can say this.
It was natural for the steering committee members to fret.
“But do I have to buy a magic meal? If you want to break the trajectory, you can just change the spell formula of the magic sphere.”
At Soonchan’s words, Heeyun sunbaenim snorted.
“Don’t you know how hard it is for a sorcerer to improve his magic formula? If it was possible, I would have already done it.”
“It’s just orbiting the magic sphere. Is it difficult to improve that much?”
“It’s easy if you just break the trajectory. But does that mean that the magic orbs and magic shields for tie-breaking already have 10 magic formulas engraved on them?”
All kinds of magic formulas that fit the rules of tie-breaking are engraved.
It is virtually impossible to maintain that formula and add an additional magic formula that bends the ball’s trajectory.
“aha. It must be difficult.”
“It’s not that hard. It’s impossible.”
Adela added to Jin Hee-yoon’s opinion.
“It has been 50 years since the tie-break was created. In the meantime, there were many attempts to change the game. And it all ended in failure.”
It is indescribably difficult to maintain a magic formula that already exists and add something to it.
“In such a situation, Ha Yul is here! Did you do something bewildering like breaking the orbit of the magic sphere 13 times?”
“Yes.”
“Yeah. The steering committee deserves to fret.”
Sunchan nodded his head with an expression that he finally understood.
“So what did you say? You said you would share?”
“no. Of course I said no. If I want to share the trajectory change spell, I have to reveal all of my arcane spells, so why do I share it?”
“aha.”

The orbit of the magic sphere was made using the power of the Bytenor type.
Of course, it is impossible to share it, and even if it is shared, it cannot be used unless someone has the same constitution as me.
“Anyway, did things go well? Can we say that winning the tie-break is virtually certain?”
Jin Hee-yoon asked indirectly.
“Yes.”
“Then what happened?”
Multiple simultaneous protection stone break using magic orb trajectory correction.
No one can stop this.
The winner of this match is definitely me.
“Anyway, I’m sorry. Either the US or the UK should have sent Dahlia and Kyle away.”
The list of participants is to be submitted the day before the start of the competition.
Of course, the contestants of the opposing team cannot be known until the day.
“Iknow, right. Personally, I was hoping for one of them to come out.”
If Kyle or Dahlia had participated in this match, they could have spent one of the most important cards in the US and UK.
it’s a shame.
Personally, since it was a one-man match, I thought that both would participate.
My thoughts went astray.
“Well, regret is regret. It’s okay because I won.”
With this, we won 2 out of 4 matches.
The result is never to be regretted.
‘In addition, Dahlia and Kyle’s head must have become even more complicated with today’s events.’
The heads of the two teams, which are already in a complicated state of whether or not I am a 6th circle mage, must have become even more complicated because of today’s work.
This also means that this side is one step ahead strategically.
And above all, the current situation is so good.
‘If this is the case, I can drive a wedge in the next match.’
I laughed inwardly as I recalled the fifth game that would begin the day after tomorrow.
* * *
That night.
In the main auditorium of the dorm where the American team is staying, all members of the American team, including Dahlia, were making serious faces.
“As you all know, the situation is not good.”
A woman standing in front of a podium.
‘Sarah Ceylon’, the brain of the US team, opened the PPT with a serious expression on the world.
It was data that analyzed the results of the Olympiad for the past 7 days and its future direction.
“The tie-break results have not been released yet, but in all likelihood the Korean team will win. We, the United States, will meet the Korean team in the round of 16 and lose.”
No one was dissatisfied, even though they were determined to lose in a match that hadn’t even happened yet.
There is no one among them who does not know that they cannot beat the Korean team in the event of tie-breaking.
“And England have a good draw, so they will go all the way to the finals. Similarly, Korea cannot win.”
While the US is unlucky, the UK is pretty lucky.
As long as Britain doesn’t make mistakes, they’ll make it to the finals safely.
“If that happens, the overall record will be like this.”
[No. 1 Korea]
[2nd place UK]
[3rd place USA]
The United States, which had been in first place, fell to third place at once.
It doesn’t matter because it’s a slight difference with the UK in second place, but there is a pretty big gap with Korea in first place.
“I won’t bother mentioning the 4th or lower here. In fact, they are not our opponents.”
Everyone nodded at Sarah’s words. 4th place Germany has been touring quite a bit, but it doesn’t mean much.
Germany, which does not have top-notch powers such as Kyle, Dahlia, and Shin Ha-yul, cannot rise above this level.
“There are 4 cards left for each of these three countries with the best power.”
The PPT screen changed at Sarah’s manipulation, and the number of appearances for each team member came to mind.
Besides Shin Ha-yul, Dahlia, and Kyle’s two appearances each, the only thing worth noting is that Adela Stewart has already participated three times.
“And six matches left.”
Next, I went to a page with a list of remaining matches.
“How will we divide the contestants in these six games? This will make a big difference in winning or losing.”
To be precise, the win or loss changes greatly depending on whether Kyle, Dalia, or Shin Ha-yul participates.
“The best thing is that Shin Ha-yul and the appearances do not overlap as much as possible.”
It is better not to fight with unknown forces like Shin Ha-yul.
Shin Ha-yul can’t participate in two of the six games, so he has to aim for that game.
“Even if they don’t overlap, you don’t know what kind of game Shin Ha-yul will play in.”
A man raised an obvious question.
“Fortunately, it can be expected to some extent.”
When Dahlia manipulates the computer, the names of three of the six matches are blacked out.
[Battle Survival]
[Open Raid]
[1:1 PvP]
“These three matches here have higher points than the others. That’s why every team will put their best effort into these three matches. Of course, Korea will also have Shin Ha-yul participate.”
Shin Ha-yul will definitely participate in these three games with high points.
“So that means I’m not playing in two of these remaining three matches.”
[Labyrinth Exploration]
[Magic Quiz Battle]
[Territory Conquest]
Three games of lesser importance than the previous three.
If you choose well in these three matches, you can win two wins without meeting Shin Ha-yul.
“And maybe Shin Ha-yul will participate in the Magic Quiz Battle.”
“why?”
“Shin Ha-yul has a good head. Once you enter this game, victory is a matter of course.”
There is no reason not to participate in a game where one win is confirmed.
“… … Sarah, are you no match?”
“uh. I hate to admit it, but I will lose.”
Dahlia has never seen anyone of her age as smart as Sarah.
To the extent that such a Sarah would say such a thing. I knew Shin Ha-yul was smart, but I didn’t expect him to be that level.
“That’s why I think it would be a good idea for Dahlia to participate in the labyrinth exploration and territorial scramble and win 2 wins.”
“Abandoning one of the three highest-scoring games?”
“uh. Even if the score is large, it’s not that big of a difference. For stability, I think it’s only right to make sure we win two of these matches first.”
“hmm… … .”
It was a reasonable opinion.
“What if Shin Ha-yul anticipates our thoughts and says that he doesn’t choose the magic quiz battle?”
“Then I’ll win the Magic Quiz Battle.”
Even if you buy as much as the item called quiz, you won’t be able to do it anywhere.
Except for the non-standard monster called Shin Ha-yul, I am confident that I can beat anyone.
“What is the trend of the British team?”
“I hate to admit it, but Maia is like me… … I think they probably came to similar conclusions as we did. But Kyle is her personality, so she won’t accept that opinion.”
“There’s no way Kyle would do anything to avoid a match.”
There was no way that battle maniac could avoid the chance to fight Shin Ha Yul with his own will.
“that’s right. Therefore, the UK has Battle Survival, Open Raid, and 1:1 PvP. We’re going to use the basic strategy of sending Kyle to all three matches and then only sending Kyle to one of the remaining three matches. And given Kyle’s personality, he’ll probably play in this match.”
Sarah drew a circle on [Territory Conquest].
If it were Kyle, he would definitely be in this match.
“After beating Kyle and taking first place in this game. If you take first place in the labyrinth exploration, which has a high probability of being empty, then England will be able to lead unconditionally. At least the silver medal is guaranteed.”
In this way, the United States won three games. England won 1 match.
In fact, the silver medal is almost certain.
“If we beat Korea in the remaining two games and win the championship, we have 5 wins. Korea won 4 championships… … .”
“gold medal.”
“yes.”
Dahlia smiled contentedly.
“huh. I think it’s good.”
While aiming for the championship, it was the best plan that clearly thought of safety measures.
It was a very satisfying operation.
“Let it be.”
“Thank you for trusting me.”
Sara smiled broadly.
Dahlia was very grateful for believing in herself and choosing to give up the highest scoring match.
“Then the [territory scramble] that will take place the day after tomorrow is the key.”
The long-awaited fifth match of the Olympiad, the contest for territory.
Beating England in this game is the most important thing.
If you lose here, you won’t get porridge or rice.
“Please. Flatten Kyle’s nose.”
“of course.”
Dahlia laughed bitterly.
As usual, today Kyle’s annoyance soared to the top of my head.
I have to show you when I saw it properly.
I thought so.
however.
Expectations are expectations, thoughts are just thoughts.
Day 9 of the Olympiad.
[Territory Conquest]
[Exhibitor List]
[USA]
[Dahlia] [Sarah] [Meili]
[korea]
[Shin Ha-yul] [Ma Jin-seok] [Kang Shin-woo]
[uk]
[Kyle] [Mya] [Nepe]
As if ridiculing the American idea, Korea inserted Shin Ha-yul’s name into the list of contestants in [Territory Conquest].
