“This is information from the Romantic Festival Promotion Committee.

The phantom thief Ombre, who was scheduled to participate in the final battle of the Festival of Romance, announced his intention to abstain.”

Kyo Hwa-young’s voice rang throughout the auditorium.

Graven slowly opened the door and looked outside.

Following the absence of Chairman Lilac and Director Coleman, the phantom thief Ombre escapes.

Something about the competition was becoming very strange.

“So, the person who has accumulated the fifth most romantic power takes the position of Ombre and faces off against the Graven Albatross.

Please give a round of applause to Emily Sigma, ranked 5th in romantic power!”

The sound of applause.

Fans imitating ombre take off their masks while making noise.

But no one makes too much noise.

Anyway, His Majesty the Emperor himself is here in the main hall.

“It just so happens that it has the same composition as the last mini cup.”

Graven nodded at Mina Karcic’s point.

Last time it was Mina vs. Graven and Angela vs. Emily, but now it’s the opposite: Graven vs. Emily, Mina vs. Angela.

“Then let’s begin our first game, Graven vs. Emily!

Please welcome both players with applause!”

After taking a deep breath, Graven opened the door and opened it.

I glance up and see a bald man whispering to the emperor.

I once received a briefing from the Pirate Republic. Did you say he was the Director of Intelligence?

No, that’s not the point.

Graven turned his gaze to his opponent sitting on the other side of the main hall.

Emily was quite calm, considering she had just received a notice to compete.

Anyway, I increased my romantic power by picking up models…

No, let’s not let down our guard.

After being bullied by Angela in the mini cup, she looked down on her opponent again.

“The grand strategy is to capture the flag!

Put both players and crew on the tray in front of you!”

When the black swan models were placed according to Gyo Hwa-yeong’s call, the illusion of the models immediately appeared in the main auditorium.

The black swan and blue dragon students invaded a peaceful forest with a small stream flowing.

Hmm. From the semifinals onwards, it looks like they will be playing virtually rather than moving with their hands.

“Graven of the Black Swan brought a crew that included former Superintendent Saraljit this time.”

“I see. I don’t know if Master Saraljit, who left for martial arts training, is watching this.

It would be nice if this scene was broadcast to the Forestry Bureau as well.”

“Hahaha. That would be great.

Oh, from lead artist Gyo Hwayoung, let’s hear the story behind the creation of the Saraljit unit?”

Indira’s skillful commentary from the broadcast booth and Mark Karcic’s eloquent remarks.

In addition, a secret story told by Kyo Hwa-young, a Funforge official, was added.

The proceedings were so skillful that one was not aware of the absence of the princess and the director.

Before we knew it, Ombre’s followers had forgotten about the phantom thief’s escape and were concentrating on their own and Emily’s placement.

“Well, Emily also brought a crew that included Headmaster Abarion!

The Housemaster Daejeon is a sight worth seeing alone!”

“Emily!”

Professor Abarion stood up from the audience.

“Win!”

“Wow!”

The cheers of Cheongryong students.

The enthusiasm is unbelievable for a dormitory that boycotted the Romantic Era a month ago.

No, this is not the time to think such nonsense.

“First round initiative roll, Graven wins!”

“I will take the next ball.”

“Ohhh!”

Emily was forced to attack first.

While she was selecting units and moving them forward, Graven thought about the win plan.

As expected, the core units of both crews are Abarion and Saraljit, the housemasters of each dormitory.

Abarion is more versatile, but Saraljit is the strongest pure wizard in the game.

The miasma magic he uses is extremely specialized for one-on-one suppression.

However, because the spell’s range is short, a means of cover is needed, which the Crystal Tank can provide.

While Saraljit and the tank subdue the wizards, the Black Swan Glider Department carries out its mission!

Although Emily’s plan was unknown, Graven believed in her own plan.

The deployment of the Blue Dragon did not have a clear purpose, and there was nothing special about the development process of the first round.

Just use up all your movement power and go straight.

On the other hand, rather than advancing blindly, Graven focused on rearranging his units so that they could deal with units with an advantageous compatibility.

Therefore, at the end of the first round, the overall battle line was formed toward the black swan.

“Round 2 begins!”

Both players roll the dice, but Graven loses.

It was bad luck, but he didn’t pay much attention to it.

Losing in the first-choice roll is due to sickness.

Didn’t he win the first round roll?

However, after seeing the results of the magic dice, Graven could not help but become agitated.

“Ah! How did this happen!

Professor Saraljit’s magic dice! All are crap except one!”

“Wasn’t Saraljit a wizard whose strength was stability?”

“Yes. But that stability comes from the magic core ability… ”

Magic Core – Action. fast. Any mana that is not fire, full, or scrap mana can be changed to fire or full mana.

Pfft.

Out of Saraljit’s 6 magic dice, 5 come up as failures.

what… There are days like this too.

I don’t know why it has to be the semi-finals…

“Abarion walks once and enters this bush!

After that, I will cast Opening Eyes on the Blue Dragon Martyrs!”

Abarion came forward to cast a buff spell.

I guess he thought there was no need to fear Saraljit’s spell.

But the Crystal Tank still has a chance!

“My turn! Crystal Tank in Action!

Shoot a beam of light at Abarion!”

“Being in the bushes, the housemaster receives the effect of concealment!”

Crystal Ray – Range 36 / Attack 3 / Accuracy 10 / Penetration 2, Resistance Attack / Damage 2

A beam whose accuracy is reduced by 2 due to cloaking.

Well, there’s still an 80% chance of missing –

9, 9, 10.

what?

Graven looked blankly at the fantasy dice.

That wasn’t the only thing that was shocking.

The Black Swan students woke up unable to overcome their anger, and the students in the other dormitories were equally upset.

“Shooting again… ”

This time, I failed twice and hit once.

And even with the hit attack, Abarion successfully ricocheted.

The probability of this happening… How much?

“This… How did this happen?

Mr. Graven’s attacks all missed! Is this possible?”

“It’s a scam! It’s manipulation!”

“Emily tampered with the virtual table!”

A fierce protest erupted from the stands.

It was a shame that the emperor was here. If it weren’t in front of the emperor, several people would have already come down from the stands and started a riot.

“Everyone.”

Cobb Priestley rushed out.

“The romantic projector installed in the main auditorium is perfectly fair.

Internal dice rolls are merely an illusion!”

“Are you telling me to believe this even after seeing this!”

The booing continued.

“I understand. I will check the projector with the professors right away!”

Abarion and Ariadne were called and began examining the equipment in the main hall.

The dean makes various excuses to the emperor, but the emperor just looks down expressionlessly.

Ten minutes after the professors cast the detection spell, after receiving the results, Priestley cleared his throat and declared:

“Inspection results show no abnormalities!”

… Does that mean it was just bad luck?

When the game resumed, Emily immediately used the heat division to attack the crystal tank.

A division that inflicts slightly more damage than expected and eats away at the tank’s health considerably.

Okay. There’s still a chance to make up for it. chamberlain…

“My turn. I will hand over the turn to Superintendent Saraljit.

Saraljit House Manager concentrated on one session.”

The action of re-rolling the magic dice as many times as desired.

By organizing the waste mana, Saraljit can use the magic core to acquire grass and fire mana, and it is possible to pour extreme poison on Abarion.

but…

“Ahh! How far does Mr. Graven’s bad luck extend?”

“Slam 3 mana. One fire mana, one full mana… ”

“Where is this?”

… It’s not over yet. Still, two fire mana were gathered.

“Scorching on Abarion as a second action.”

Ignite – fire 2, 6cm, 1 enemy unit, diagonal, flammable reaction.

Generates 5 hits – 2 penetration, 2 damage.

Abarion in the bush is subject to a flammable reaction.

Therefore, you must successfully defend twice in a row to prevent the damage from the scorching fire.

Saraljit’s resistance is 7. That means you must roll a die of 5 or less twice in a row!

“Resistance to 5 hits. 4 successful.”

You’re lucky. But in the next one…

“Successful resistance reroll due to reaction effect.

Reroll 4… Success all 4 times. Therefore, the damage is 1 time… ”

Even Emily, who said that, trailed off, scratching her head as if this wasn’t a good idea.

Now the students were throwing toilet paper and food into the auditorium as if they were the emperor or something.

Priestley rushes in again.

“It’s a scam! Fraud!”

“Yes. Now I know this looks very suspicious!

immediately! We will investigate the truth immediately!”

Once again the professors were called.

This time, there are four people: Ariadne, Jelena, Abarion, and Papanopoulos.

Yelena and Ariadne checked to see if there was a spell on Graven and Emily.

For example, whether there is a curse that brings bad luck.

But both shook their heads.

and-

“What?”

Abarion shouts as if he feels something.

He called Miles Papanopoulos and they whispered.

Two professors urgently run up to the dean.

“What on earth is going on? Is there really magical manipulation?

Artist Gyo Hwayoung, what do you think?”

“Mmm. We at Funforge are sorry that such an unpleasant incident occurred.

I will faithfully follow the professors’ judgment… ”

Director Coleman suddenly disappears and Gyo Hwa-yeong is left in charge of an apple that she doesn’t even know about.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long for her to panic and make excuses.

Academy Dean Russell Corvus stood up from his seat and began floating above the main auditorium.

The intimidating feeling emanating from the energy of a great mage.

Everyone fell silent.

“Survey results.”

He took a breath and answered.

“No evidence of misconduct was found.”

The crowd is making a fuss.

So what did the professors discover earlier?

Why did the Abarion housemaster run away in contemplation?

“What Superintendent Abarion pointed out is only a problem related to the academy’s maintenance that has nothing to do with this situation.

I hope both players will put aside their doubts and play to their best.”

“Me, Dean.”

Duke Knizia stood up from the stands and cautiously asked a question.

“The problem of maintenance is… Is it a big problem?”

“Hmm. It’s a pretty tricky problem, but it’s not that urgent.

Thanks to Dean Abarion’s early detection, it can be resolved quickly…

Then I’ll just… ”

With those words, the dean left the door of the main auditorium.

————————————————– ——————————-

“Ahh! The dice are finally working out!

After all, the commotion earlier was just a commotion!

Graven’s luck has finally returned to normal!”

“… But it seems difficult to turn the tables. I wasted too much time a while ago… ”

Indira and Mark’s commentary heard from behind the closed entrance to the main auditorium.

But now, to the professors’ ears, it’s just noise.

“Yelena. Go to the Black Swan Dormitory and detain Agent Petra Lin, and interrogate him if possible.”

“Yes.”

“Ariadne. You stay here and stop the Intelligence Director from doing anything stupid.”

“Okay.”

“Abarion. Keep trying to break the spell.”

“I… ”

The Blue Dragon Housemaster is the only one who hesitates.

“Something?”

“I think it will take some time. The one the dean does… ”

“I.”

Russell Crowe flew straight into the sky.

“I think I have something else to do.”
