I move to the centre of the military stage for the match, led by Dinas and the others.
The beastmen children have already come up to the stage, and each tribe seems to be working together.
In addition to stares from here and there, I also feel warm stares from the audience.
When I reached the centre of the stage, Dinas shouted out loudly to the audience.
'From now on, we will have a 'bowl battle' between Master Rid Bardia and the beastmen children. The rules are simple. If the 'bowl' on the forehead is taken off or thrown out of the ring, the fighter is disqualified. Magic can be used, weapons are forbidden, and fighting for the sake of winning the headband is tolerated to a certain extent. The judges will be myself, Dinas, Commander of the Knights of Bardia, Cross, Deputy Commander, Rubens and Nels of the Knights. These will be the four of us. That is all."
When Dinas finishes, he shifts his gaze to me.
'Do you have anything to say, Master Rid, too?'
"Yes. ......."
I clears my throat, takes a deep breath, and then, like Dinas, I let my voice ring out loudly.
'Thank you all for coming to watch. This is a good opportunity, so I hope you had a good time today. 'Now, I'm going to say this to all the beastmen. I want you to show me how serious you are. Especially the boys who made a spectacle of me at the inn. I'm looking forward to it."
The audience is, for some reason, very excited.
In response, the gaze from the beastman children turns even sharper.
When I used the 'electric field' spell that Aria from the bird tribe taught me, I felt very uncomfortable and my mind was buzzing.
(Hmmm ...... is this hostile?)
According to Aria, the various sensations felt through the 'electric field' differ from individual to individual.
The sensation is gradually becoming known through continued use of magic.
The rest is 'intuition'. At that moment, Dinas asks with a smile: "Lid-sama, then it's time to go.
'Rid-sama, then I think it's time to start. Is that alright?"
'Yes. And also, please make sure that there is absolutely no partiality, and that you give a fair judgment.'"
'Yes, sir. Now if you'll excuse us, we'll move to the end of the hall."
The other knights bowed to me in the same way.
Then they moved to the bridges on the east, west, north, south and west sides.
Dinas then shouts again.
'Now, the bowl battle, let the match begin!'
Thus, the bowl battle was set off.
The voice of what sounded like a fox-man lager echoed in the hall at about the same time.
"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time!"
"Hm?"
When I turned around to where I heard the voice, I found that everyone from the Foxmen Tribe was casting magic there.
It was also terrifying in a way that was different from the fireball and my fire spear.
It shimmers like a 'fireball' that might come out with a ghost, if I had to say.
After all, it seems that there are various forms of magic depending on the race and culture. As I looked around admiringly, I suddenly realised:
"'I see. First of all, I think it's the magic that's being fired all at once."
It was not only the fox tribe that was creating magic.
The voice of Lagarde had distracted me, but a closer look at the surroundings showed that there were several people in each tribe who were creating magic.
Magic is difficult to use in a fierce battle.
First of all, it would be a magic battle.
Good, that's interesting.
At that moment, I also felt a rustle from the sky and looked up to see that Aria and the others were already in the air, soaring and creating magic.
The moment I grinned and sneered as I looked around.
Lagarde's voice echoes through the hall again.
"Here we go, !"
At that moment, various kinds of spells were fired at me from all directions.
Evade or hide?
No, I won't do that.
I surrounded myself with a 'magic barrier' to catch all the spells.
At the same time, an explosion sounded around me.
Yes, it's a good power, but it's 'not quite enough' yet.
Smoke rises in the area due to the impact of receiving the blast, and visibility is poor.
However, the smoke gradually clears.
Lagarde and the beastman children looked at me, unharmed, and had a shocked look on their faces.
I grinned at Lagarde.
'Goodness gracious. Is your magic just going to wind up dust and that's it?"
You ......⁉ make a fool of us and shoot all the ...... you can get your hands on!"
Lagarde and everyone else seemed agitated by my cheap provocation.
They unleash all their spells at once again, but I happily catch them with my magic barriers.
As a result, the military stage is often filled with explosions and smoke.
(Hmm. The smoke makes visibility poor, but I can feel everyone's impatience and fatigue due to the 'electric field'. Aria and the others in the sky seem to be watching the situation. Well, ...... I think it's time to move.)
As soon as I muttered in my mind, the spell stopped.
It seems that, as expected, the children who can use magic have run out of magic to some extent.
The smoke disappears and it becomes possible to see the faces of each other, the beastman children seem to be exclaiming at the sight of me being unharmed.
I take one look at them, rubbing my nose deliberately with my hand.
"Ah, I guess your 'magic that just rolls up dust' is over, huh? Now I'll show you the 'real magic'
I use a light compress magic with one hand in the air to create a large 'water ball' above my own head.
The beastman children, not knowing the true nature of my magic, were wary and did not approach me.
But that's a bad idea.
I chanted as I finished figuring out the location of the beastman children on the ground with the electric field at the same time as creating the magic.
'Water ball technique, water spear ...... '.
When I chanted the magic name, a large number of 'water spears' flew from the large water ball above my head toward all of the beastmen on the ground.
Of course, the power is suppressed, but it should be enough to blow them out of the field.
The sight of about 150 water spears being generated from the water ball and flying back and forth is quite impressive.
A roar can be heard from the audience at the same time as the magic is triggered.
However, screams and shouts were heard from all over the stage.
"'Oh, my God!"
"What is this⁉ Why is it flying towards us‼?"
'Avoid it! If you can't, catch it!
'Kyaaaaaah !'
The beastmen children probably did not expect magic to fly at them all at once.
They are busy responding to magic here and there.
When the magic is finished and I look around, it seems that quite a few more people than expected fell into the water moat outside the field and were disqualified.
I showed the remaining children a fearless smile and muttered leisurely,
'Well ...... I wonder what's next?'
'Damn, damn, the ones that are left, we'll move on to the next phase "
Lagarde shouted again, and at the same time, the kids came towards me this time.
Apparently, the next phase is going to be close combat.
But what is the 'next strategy'? Looking around me, I noticed that Ovelia, a rabbit tribe, and Mia, a cat tribe, were observing my movements.
I see, first I attack with magic.
Next, the rest of them will fight in close combat. Those who are recognised as strong amongst their companions will conserve their strength while observing me, right?
That's a good plan.
'Hmm, that's a good one. I'll go along with that strategy."
I launch an attack on the group of foxmen approaching from the front.
The first movement, the fox people were the ones who activated the magic the most.
In other words, many of them are not good at close combat.
The Foxmen were surprised, as if they didn't expect me to go on the offensive.
However, they quickly switched their expressions, aimed at my bowl and took a posture of waiting for me.
But from my point of view, who usually trains with Deanna and Cross, their movements are very slow and full of gaps.
"Oh, what is that?"
"Oh, ......⁉"
I'm getting more and more of it.
As soon as I ducked their attack, I quickly picked up my bowl only.
Maybe they didn't expect me to be able to master the physical techniques to this extent, but the fox people all seem to be confused.
But soon Lagarde's instructions are echoed.
'Lid is strong, don't take him on alone, form a clique."
'Yes, that's right!"
Everyone nods at his instruction and comes towards me again.
The result of their forming a clique is not much different.
I'm going to catch the foxmen's bowls without any hesitation.
At last, Lagarde and Noir were the only foxmen left in this place.
I move to the centre of the military stage for the match, led by Dinas and the others.
The beastmen children have already come up to the stage, and each tribe seems to be working together.
In addition to stares from here and there, I also feel warm stares from the audience.
