“Then! Centers! Match begin!”

My match has begun.
It’s been bad with two consecutive losses so far, but I wasn’t really nervous.
Because I didn’t even think that I could lose.

“Wind blade!” “Wind blade!”

I avoid the spirit magic of the other party.
I can read the thoughts of spirits with my mind’s eye.
I confirmed it with Zeros.
An elf who had contracted with a highest-tier spirit in the survival match came to pick up the ball from our pedestal.
At that time, I thought, “Is this all…”.
To be honest, if they were only this strong, I’d rather fight them than that brother and sister.

“Wind blade!”

“Wind blade!”

“Wind blade! Why don’t you get hit!?”

She is frustrated and shoots her magic even though they don’t hit.
Since that’s the case, if I wait for a while, she’ll run out of magic.

My mind’s eye became even stronger when it reached Lv.
5.
With the mind’s eye, I could only see the other person’s mind as text and had to read it every time.
However, the heart of the other person who saw it came into my brain and understood.
But now I can see the mind of the person I see in my brain.
This makes it possible to understand what the opponent is trying to do just by looking at them during battle.
I was able to change this between text mode and brain mode, which was a big help.

Even so, this ability is completely incompatible with that brother and sister.
The brother’s reflexes are so good that he acts faster than he can think, and the most annoying thing is when he suddenly changes his mind about an action he was thinking about.
I set countermeasures for what I think he plans to do but get caught of guard by the opposite.
For Zeros, the mind’s eye just gets in the way.

And the sister has a lot of thoughts.
No…too many.
Where a normal person would think “attack like this… avoid like this…”, Sophia would think “Onii-chan would avoid like this… …I’ll do it this way.
Would Onii-chan attack like this? No… will he prefer this to that? Then I’ll do the same…” and so on.
More than half of her thoughts are always about Zeros.
Therefore, it’s difficult to understand because the amount of information I want is less than the amount she’s thinking.
Rather, it seems that she calls him onii-chan in her heart even though she usually calls him niisama {TN: both mean “older brother” but the first is a closer way of saying it}.
If my mind’s eye level were higher, would I be able to understand what they are thinking before they do? In order to raise my level as much as possible, I watched this morning’s game from the top of the bleachers, including many spectators.
By the way, I still can’t switch the mind’s eye on and off.
I wonder if I’ll ever be able to?

“Damn … haa!”

And the elf, whose magical power has depleted, pulled out the rapier she had and attacked me.
It seems that powerful spirit magic can no longer be used.
She’s tired and her concentration has reduced.
I think it’s time to end this.

I hid myself with stealth and slashed her neck with a dagger from behind.
I also used the decoy skill I was thought in the Adventurer’s Guild, so the elf probably didn’t even notice that I was behind.

“Winner! Shana Lingalia!”

“” Waaaa! “”

The match was over, so I got off the stage.
Even though I prolonged the match a little so that I could change the flow as requested by Zeros, I won the victory unscathed, but will he praise me?

“Yes!”

Shana has come down from the stage.
Shana’s match turned out to be completely different.
Sophie’s fight after this would be a little easier.

Jiiiiii(stare)

“… Good job, you did great Shana.”

“Yeah”

She came all the way to the front of me and stared at me, so I praised her.
I felt like I was being asked to do so.

“Then vice captains! Please enter!”

And now it’s Sophie’s turn to fight.

“I’m off then.”

“See you later”

Sophie also went up to the stage.

“Then! Vice captains! Match begin!”

And now Sophie’s match began.

…………………………….

“Stop it … No … I give up …”

“Winner! Sophia Adolfo!”

“” Waa aa… “”

The cheers of the audience were somewhat restrained.
There was a good reason for that.

“G- good work out there”

“Yes! I’ve broken the elves pride to make it easier for Zero-niisama to fight!”

“Actually it’s now harder to fight …”

Sophie’s opponent was an elf who used the spirit of fire.
All the elf’s spirit magic was neatly offset with a fireball.
No matter how powerful she made them, they would all be offset by fireball.
Of course, when that happened, the elf tried to force close combat.
However, she launched fireballs at the elf to keep her away.
After that, the elf used magic other than spirit magic, but they were also offset by only using fireball.
It was repeated until the elf’s spirit broke.
As an elf, she was probably doing her best not to lose in magic which was her specialty.
However, it seems the other party was a bad match-up this time.

“Then captains! Please enter!”

“I’ll be back…”

I went up to the stage with a little difficulty due to the atmosphere.
