Judgment of placement rights.

The coin spins in the air, and the side with my name on it falls forward.

“Determination of placement rights. Coleman.”

A mechanical sound close to a woman’s voice.

“I do the post-assignment.”

“Then, Rose, you will deploy your units first.”

While Rose was considering which model to deploy first, I carefully examined the battlefield.

There is a variety of cover, and the southwest and northeast sides of the center are blocked by shallow walls.

Giant models such as the Lion King or the Secretary can jump over them, but ordinary models can only enter the central area from the southeast and northwest.

No, let’s not focus on the center.

The current mission, Treasure Hunt, is structured so that there is almost no need for central confrontation.

The treasures are buried one by one in the north, south, east, and west from the center, and all you have to do is dig them up.

“placed.”

The first to be deployed was a Hydraka unit located to the west of Rose’s deployment area.

“Now it’s your turn.”

“I activate Orbital Assault, the ability of the Secretary of the Myeokdae.”

“Orbital assault?”

Orbital Assault – This unit may start the game out of action instead of deployed. When this unit gets its turn, it can be deployed at any point more than 18cm away from an enemy unit by spending 1 walk action. During the round in which it is deployed, this unit cannot perform any operational actions and has no influence or influence on strategy.

“Yes. Secretary Myeolikdae is waiting on a space battleship in the high sky.”

“Hoo.”

Rose licked her lips as if it was fun.

The embarrassment and irritation from earlier are gone, and he looks completely relaxed.

“I don’t know exactly what it means, but it’s fun anyway.”

“Now it’s your turn to deploy again.”

Rose deploys all three Hydrakas to the northwest, aiming for a firing angle that ignores the cover in the center.

Since I only had three units left, I finished the deployment by placing the Lion King and the Tactical Team in the center and the Killing Team to the east.

Rose’s arrangement continues even after I’ve laid it all down.

After placing Alexios and Rose’s models in the center of the deployment area, she confidently declared:

“I activate Kratoa’s advance guard’s beachhead ability.”

Beachhead – This unit can be deployed anywhere on the friendly side. When this unit is deployed, place one 6cm radius lake tile adjacent to this unit and 3cm away from other terrain.

One unit of Kratoa Spearhead is placed directly in front of the treasure to the east, and another unit is placed directly in front of the treasure to the west.

“It would be nice to dig into this from the beginning, but… Then you will actually lose points.”

That’s right.

Treasure hunting is a mission where victory points are maximized when you dig up one treasure each round starting from the second round.

If you dig up the treasure from the beginning, it is no different from wasting your victory points.

“Then the deployment is over.

Now I will decide who will go first.”

A dice illusion appeared and disappeared in the air.

The result was Rose’s victory.

“I’ll play the second attack.”

“Good. Magic corps progress.”

I don’t have a model to roll the magic dice, but Rose rolled her and Alexios’ magic dice.

Rose has one effective mana from Moon, and Alexios has one effective mana from Almighty and one Water.

“Coleman. Let’s start 1st round, 1st turn.”

Despite the voice announcing the start of the turn, I stared at the table without saying a word.

“Coleman?”

“Don’t fuss. Is there a time limit?”

“Well, there is nothing like that. But please remember that this is a test for you.

If you drag on while waiting for salvation to come, I will not recognize you as having passed the ordeal.”

“It’s not like that, it’s just… ”

“Just?”

I glared at Rose.

“I have something I want to ask the other person.”

“What is it?”

Rose grinned, crossing her arms behind her neck.

“Why did you join in on this?

I knew that he was a piece of trash from the fifth grade of Baekyang, but wasn’t kidnapping the Crown Princess crazy?

Do you even believe in God like that man with the crazy voice?”

“That can’t be possible. Today is the first time I’ve heard the story about “I’m God” and whatnot.”

“Then?”

“I told you. I will make you a colleague.”

“What good is it to be one of those guys’ colleagues?”

“Ha.”

She rolled her eyes and sighed.

“Coleman. Have you ever thought about what you will do after you graduate?

No no. You will answer that you will run it during the Romantic Era.

Just, what do you think regular Blue Dragon graduates do when they graduate?”

“What does that have to do with this-”

Rose dismissed my rebuttal and continued speaking.

“I usually get a job. Whether it’s the imperial government, a noble fiefdom, or a magic company… ”

“So?”

“I briefly worked as an apprentice mage in the Maud duchy during summer vacation in my third year.

Do you know what work you did the most? Organize your documents!”

She opened her arms wide.

“When records of accidents by unauthorized wizards are posted, identify what magic was used and report it.”

“… What’s wrong with that?”

Isn’t it rewarding in its own way?

It is not simple repetitive labor, nor is it a task that can be entrusted to just anyone, but it requires knowledge and skill.

But Rose expressed her dissatisfaction.

“Are you kidding me? I have been the Magna Cum Laude of the Blue Dragon since first grade!

But are you just going to spend your whole life fiddling with documents?

Am I the best graduate in the entire continent?”

“Then why not get a job somewhere else?”

Rose shakes her head.

“What difference does that make?

Instead of filing documents, work as a magic item manufacturer at a magic factory?

No, I definitely realized this while taking the 4th grade graduation course.

The moment you leave the academy, a gray life begins, not blue, red, black, or white.”

“… So?”

“That’s why I held our client’s hand.

Because I promised that if I do this well, I will be able to escape my gray life.

A life of joining their secret society and becoming a shadowy person who runs the empire behind the scenes.”

“… Thank goodness.”

“What?”

I muttered, glaring at her tightly.

“You know. When I came here, I wondered why you did such a crazy thing.

Were your parents murdered by the Crown Princess during the civil war?”

“Why are you killing someone else’s parents who are fine?”

“… Are you, by any chance, the secret child of Lucius the Wise and aiming for the throne?

Or are you doing this to abolish the law because you are a democracy activist? I really thought about everything.”

“Aha.”

Rose giggled.

“So, our weak-hearted Coleman would forgive me if I had a convincing story?”

“No. I didn’t have any thoughts like that at all.

No matter what your story was, I was going to tear you to death the moment I kidnapped Lilac.

however… If there was a story, I would have felt a little guilty.”

I took a breath and let it out.

“Thank you for being such a crazy piece of human trash. For letting me fuck you without any guilt.

The moment you win here, I’ll rip you limb from limb with my claymore.

Just like you believed in the academy’s immortality spell and turned Baekyang student into rags.”

“Wow! It was great! This is how you get more excited about the game.”

Rose applauds.

Now it’s time to take our turn. I declared, holding out my hand.

“The Lion King’s ability is activated when the round begins! The laws of war of galactic defeat!”

Galactic Defeat’s Art of War – At the beginning of each round, you must decide whether to use this ability or not.

When using the Galactic Supremacy’s method of war, all friendly Galactic Supremacy units take the following actions instead of gaining their normal actions, and cannot gain free actions outside of the Assault rules:

Operation or Unique Action -> Cast Spell -> Walk or Disengage -> Shoot -> Charge or Strike

These must be done in sequence, and the same action cannot be repeated twice.

When the illusion of the Lion King swung his sword once, wind blew on the table and the black angel models sparkled.

This ability allows you to imitate the rules of the game you played in your past life.

It allows you to perform up to 5 actions per turn, but since the order is fixed and the same actions cannot be performed, it is not an ability that all crew members can use well.

“Hoo. I brought something quite interesting.

You mentioned reincarnation and all that earlier. Is this an ability related to that?”

But it goes well with the Black Angel crew I brought with me.

Because the number of units is so small, action pumping is essential to carry out the operation.

also…

“My turn! I chose the Black Angel Flying Squad Killing Team.

The first action, operation, and the second action, spell casting, are not possible, so they are omitted.

With the third action, walking, immediately move forward 20cm!”

There is no need to push the model or use a tape measure.

As soon as I gave the order, the illusion of an assassination team running away, kicking up dust on the table.

“Now that Krakoa is within range, the third action is to shoot!

Plasma Magnum!”

Shooting Armament – Choose one of two modes.

Plasma Magnum – Range 18 / Attack 2 / Accuracy 7 / Penetration 2 / Damage 1

Plasma Magnum Overloaded – Range 18 / Attack 2 / Accuracy 7 / Penetration 4 / Damage 2 / Immediately eliminates user on massive hit miss

I didn’t use overloaded mode, because the risk of being removed if the hit die rolled a 10 was too painful.

Anyway, Krakoa has 1 health and its defense is not that high, so there is no merit in using it.

As the two guns on the front of the bike explode with blue flames, an illusion of dice appears in the air.

The results were 1, 1, 2, 3, 8, 10. Four attacks were successful.

Penetration 2 reduces Defense 5, and Krakoa’s defense dice all fail. however…

“Krakoa’s abilities. The persistence of blue crabs.

Krakoa has damage null 2!”

Krakoa blocks 2 of the attacks that hit. Still, 10 models were reduced to 8 models.

“The fourth action, charge! And the free hit generated by the charge!

Attack Krakoa with the crow sword of the flying wing!”

Raven Sword – Attack 3 / Accuracy 7 / Penetration 3 / Damage 1

9 attacks, 6 hits, 1 block, 2 nulls.

With the three crab monsters defeated, exactly half of the starting models remain.

The result is a bit disappointing. But it doesn’t matter. It continues to rush in like this!

“End of turn.”
