(TN: Seems the author changed what was previously known as Park battle, to Garden battle)

“Spirit Zeal, descend.”

It has already been three days since the voluntary training began. That means that tomorrow, the battle in the garden will begin.

“I’m getting pretty good at spirit descending Zeal.”.

Without naming one target yet, if I want to specify the range, I can now control the lightning somewhat freely during the Spirit descent of Zeal. Besides, I can now supply magic power almost by myself. It was worth the effort over the past three days.

“If this is the case, I think you can beat Sophie-chan!”

“Oh, yes. Even if you don’t win, it will be a good match.”

I released the descent and asked the two to come out, and even from their point of view, my descent seemed to have improved.

“But I don’t think I can beat Sophie with just this.”

“Huh? Why not? Sophie-chan’s magic cancellation doesn’t affect the magic power supply.”

Spirit users don’t use magic. So, the magic supply will not be affected by the magic release.

“If Sophie is serious about fighting, she’ll probably disable use of spirits.”

“Ah……”

That’s the only way to shut down my magic supply. If that happens, I’ll just have to keep her away until I win. So I think Sophie will first disable use of spirits. And there’s no way to prevent that at the moment.

“Huh? What are you going to do?”

“What should I do?”

The Divine lightning half enchantment consumes too much magic power. Without magic supply, it can only be used for 30 seconds, and I don’t think I can defeat Sophie within 30 seconds with the divine lightning half enchantment that I showed her once. If I used more than a normal enchantment, the bones in my body would shatter at that moment and he would be removed from the competition.

“Hey! What are you really going to do?”

”Maybe I’ll look at the new sword and think about it…”

I couldn’t get the answer in the last three days. It’s rather pitiful, but I’ll just take a chance on a new sword that Gladden is forging.

But that doesn’t mean I have no plan at all. The reason is that Sophie’s skill seal isn’t supposed to be used at long range. The last time it was used, it was from a distance close enough to talk to. If I kept attacking from a long distance, I might be able to win.

But that would mean I would have to beat Sophie with magic only. Well, if the new sword had the ability to attack from a long distance, that’d be a different story…

*************************************

“From now on, Let the main garden competition begin!”

After three days of voluntary training, the garden competition finally began. At the opening ceremony, the contestants lined up in the order of their tournament matchups.

“The first match will now begin!”

After the opening ceremony was over and the announcement was made, all the players except for the first match walked off the stage. Then it was just me and Shana on the stage. I was in the first match again, just like last year.

“Match 1! Zeros Adolfo versus Shana Lingaria!”

As Shana and I both drew our weapons and readied them, I heard an announcement that the match was about to begin.

“Spirit Zeal Descend!, Raiden Double Half Enchantment, Raiden Armor.”

One enchantment was saved and all my preparations were complete. By the time my preparations were complete, Shana’s eyes had turned dark blue. And she disappeared.

“Yo!”

I jumped high, as I couldn’t even see Shana. Then, I released my newly created spirit magic, called the lightning prison, downwards. This magic is literally a magic that creates a prison of lightning. I surrounded the entire stage with this magic. Then I reduced the size of the prison and landed on an empty space on the stage.

“Huh!”

But from behind, the crisis high-speed sensing reacted. Quickly, I swung my sword and it collided with the scythe, producing a high-pitched sound. Then, looking in the direction the scythe was going back, I saw Shana pulling on the chain attached to the scythe. I found Shana in the lightning prison, and the it shrank vigorously with Shana at its center.

“Stonewall!”

The lightning prison was blocked by the earth magic wall that Shana created around her. The lightning Prison is not very powerful because it spans a wide area. However, Shana couldn’t move because of the wall. Therefore, I dropped black lightning from right above Shana. This single-pointed spirit magic destroyed the earthen wall that Shana had built. I wondered what had happened to Shana, although I couldn’t see her through the cloud of dust. Then the crisis high speed sensing reacted from in front of me.

“You got out of there so fast.”

“That strategy is useless to me.”

We exchanged a few words lightly and Shana’s scythe was repelled by two swords, and then she disappeared again.

“It’s hard to fight when you understand my entire move….”

I thought about blinding her with lightning to keep her from using her mind’s eye, but that wouldn’t work either if she knew. The previous mock battle ended with Shana running out of time, but this time, considering the fact that she used the application of the mind’s eye from the beginning, it’s hard to imagine that it will end with her running out of time. I was thinking this as I blocked Shana’s attack.

“If my strategy is going to be discovered, it would be better if it’s not blocked even if it is discovered.”

I muttered quietly. This is a completely brainless thought process, but it was the only thing I could think of. And I think it’s probably the most effective.

“Lightning grip.”

I moved to the center of the stage and took control of all the electricity in the stage. In these three days, I can control everything in the stage from the center. And I stopped the movement of all the electricity in the stage.

“Ah……”

Then Shana appeared. By stopping the electricity, the electrical signals flowing through her body also stopped. In other words, now Shana cannot move because there is no electrical signal to transmit what she sees to her brain.

However, this also stops all the static electricity around her, so even if she uses multiple thoughts, she can only last for about three seconds. But those three seconds are enough.

“Lightning shrink.”

I moved to Shana, who was about to fall over, after releasing her cloak. Then I slashed at her. Then she disappeared and shifted offstage.

“The match is over! Winner! Zeros Adolfo!”

“”Waaaa!””

I’ve only tried forcing the current electrical signal to stop on monsters, so it can only be used in this place where all wounds within the stage disappear once you go outside of this stage. Of course, if you are planning to kill the enemy from the beginning, you can use it offstage as well.

“The second match is about to begin!”

After Shana and I exited the stage, the second match began.

After the second match, those who were in the practice hall never lost. And as soon as the games were over, we broke up.

Then came the second day of the garden matches.
