a few minutes before the Battle War begins.
"With this everything I leave to you. You remember all the instructions I gave you?"
"Don't underestimate me. Did you forget who I was?"
Electra smiled confidently. He was famous for being the quickest, but he was also famous for masterfully making devious plans.
Combined with Kuro's unpredictable brain, the result is a nightmare no one else can think of.
"But are you sure you're going to use that plan?"
Kuro did not immediately reply and turned to Laila to confirm.
"It's a little risky, but it's necessary."
"I still can't believe you made such a plan, but all I can do is trust you. It's just that I keep wondering after everything that's happened, are you okay? Well, even though I can guess how you can seduce Laila."
He glanced at Laila who was flowering flowers. Given what happened last night, this was quite a sight that shocked people.
There's only one explanation for why he's like this. In other words, Kuro had already done something to Laila.
"I'm just a little tired. Indeed if Laila was jealous she would be a little troublesome. But everything was fine after I spoiled her."
"You are a real understanding husband."
At that time one of the committee gave a sign that it was time.
"We go first."
"May succeed. It'll be bad if you don't."
Kuro just smiled a little and went with Laila to the place provided.
A place with a magic circle that is not so complicated and can immediately be guessed its function. To avoid the snow, the magic circle is protected by magic.
"Chelle..."
"I knew. Leave it to me."
Laila closed her eyes concentrating. He was preparing to use magic.
Using magic before the Battle War started was indeed against the rules, but all Laila did was prepare. After all, it was only a matter of seconds before the Battle War started.
Finally the awaited time arrived. The countdown begins and teleportation magic is activated.
In the blink of an eye Laila and Kuro arrive at the island of Avalon. Looking up close, Avalon Island is simply incredible. But they did not have time to enjoy the view.
"Scarflare, Exploflare."
Laila summoned dozens of Scarflare and just instantly shaped them into a spear. Precisely 7 large spear pieces that each consist of 5 Scarflare.
Once it's done, then it's Kuro's turn.
Both of his eyes instantly turned white. This was the moment where Kuro activated the full power of Eyes of Origin. He also used Brain Burst.
The combination of Eyes of Origin and Brain Burst was one of the most underhanded techniques in the world because in less than a second, he could get all the information he needed. He also has time to make plans.
But right now all Kuro needed was the location of each participant.
"Imaginary Accell"
Kuro used the next technique. This is an advanced technique after Triple Accell. Everything he saw now stopped moving as if time had not passed.
He then threw one by one Scarflare's spear at the participants he found. With a distance of approximately 2 km from its place, throwing it that far is quite impossible.
Unfortunately, this was not the case for Kuro. He used Ki to strengthen the strength of his arm, he also coated Scarflare's spear with Ki in order to ease the splitting of the wind.
And of all that, he didn't forget to throw it with Accell Art.
The result of all the combinations of techniques was that Kuro threw 7 pieces of spears simultaneously in different directions.
All it does is wait. This was a surprise attack that was impossible for ordinary humans to think of.
But this was a Battle War where each participant was the chosen one among the chosen. Expecting everything on target is naive thinking.
"We will be lucky if we get rid of 2 participants."
Loud explosions occurred along the island. In addition to the spear, Laila also added high-level Explosion magic to her spear. So even if they dodge, they will still be affected by it.
Shortly after, the announcement was heard. The results were quite surprising, they managed to get rid of more participants than they had expected.
"Are they too weak?"
"Don't equate them to your standards, Laila. We benefit in this because it fits our plan."
Kuro cancelled Our No Me. One of his eyes was black.
"It's time for phase 2."
Kuro pulled the war from his scabbard and slashed towards the surroundings.
♦️♦️♦️
A picture shows Laila and Kuro disappearing. This makes people wonder what really happened.
[Princess Norn, can you give an explanation of what really happened?]
{.....This was just my guess, but Kuro did a surprise attack and managed to get rid of the other participants by taking advantage of the time they were off guard because the fight had not started yet.}
[It's incredible. There had never been anything like this before in Battle War. Merely, the technique he used was it possible for a magic school student to do?]
Everyone who sees it must think the same. But for Norn who knew Kuro's background, he only smiled a little.
{What they both do is impossible for normal people, so don't expect to do the same way as them.}
[Is that so?]
{Absolutely. Rather than that, I think it's best to give an explanation as to why they destroyed the Insectmera used to keep an eye on them.}
[Oh. right. They were amazing until I forgot something else. Wait a minute, is it okay to destroy the equipment?]
Kuro and Laila accidentally destroy the Insectmera that recorded them. It's disturbing because they can't figure out what they're doing.
{...indeed we can not know what happened, but this is one proof that Laila and Kuro know very well the key in this Battle War. We can consider this one of the tactics they use.}
[If it is like that, then we have no choice but to wait for them to appear again. Alright, until that time comes, I will tell how the impact of the attack arrived Kuro and Laila pair. In addition to successfully getting rid of 5 participants, the attack was also directed in 7 different directions. In other words, there are 4 couples who managed to dodge well. It's just that, when they saw Doll's condition, Laila and Kuro's attack turned out to be quite damaging.]
Of the 14 targets, 5 were eliminated, and 5 were impacted. The rest had no injuries.
Of the two who were unharmed were Charlmilia and Fila. They managed to dodge by relying on Charlmilia's speed.
Then of all, Denada from Shiryuu Academy was the only one who lost her partner due to the attack. He could still continue, but all now knew he was the leader.
{Despite that, the attack seems like a double-edged sword. We can find out it from Kuro's Doll who suffered a crack.}
[Could this be why they destroyed Insectmera?]
{Maybe. But with this attack, all knew the threat from the two of them. Then this situation seems to also be utilized by other participants to hunt down injured participants.}
On one of the screens, two pairs of participants are now facing each other.
[No doubt this Battle War turned out to be more interesting than the previous year.]
♦️♦️♦️
"Damn, I didn't expect Kuro and Laila to plan such an attack. Besides, he doesn't seem to care if we're his friend or his opponent."
"Calm down, Charl. I know you're angry, but try to cool your head. Right now there's something else we need to do."
Charmilia realized what Fila said was right. He took a deep breath to calm himself.
They were now not far from the site of Kuro's attack. More precisely near a large rock that was enveloped by thick snow.
"Sorry."
"It's okay. Now, can we focus on Battle War?"
Charmilia.
"From the previous announcement, we know 5 participants were eliminated. From the information we get, they are not participants that we do not need to be aware of, so there are still many participants who are strong enough."
Charmilia.
They were wary of some of the names of the participants who appeared in the Battle War this time. The main one is of course Victoria. Next up are Kuro and Laila.
Unfortunately, they had to recreate the list because the emerging participants exceeded their predictions. Especially the one who confronted Laila last night, Arisa Himegami.
From the magic pressure it could be said that he was balanced with Laila. But they could sense that Arisa had more power than that.
"For now, all we have to do first is find each participant. Can I count on you."
"Of course."
Charlmilia closed her eyes to concentrate. The magic he used was quite difficult as he had yet to master it.
The magic actually belonged to Electra who she used to find anyone in the entire city using the basis of the electrical signals emitted by every living thing. The reason why Charlmilia could use it was because she learned directly from Electra.
Normally Electra would not teach such magic because given the dangers that occur if misused. But Charlmilia was a Quuen and one who had the same way of life as him.
"Electro Pulse!!"
A moment after the magic was activated, he could feel the electrical waves from the entire Avalon island. Of the 37 participants still on the island, he could find around 30.
"Charl, how?"
"I found most of the participants. Some have already fought, but many more have stayed silent or observed."
Charlmilia then drew a map of the island in the snow. He then added a few spots in various places.
He also added the point of their current location, which is quite close at the western end of the island.
"If you look at the distance between participants, it means that we are indeed teleported with each of the same distance."
"Is there a problem so we need to confirm it?"
"No, it's just that by knowing our current location, we can devise a better plan. My father used to say that geographical factors were very important in war. Unfortunately, we can't use that principle because we're in a foreign territory."
Charlmilia nodded in understanding.
They have actually devised various strategies that they will use, but all of them also depend on the geographical conditions of the island.
"Then even though we have geographical data from the research that was done, it's not very useful because everything changes due to snow."
"Why there's so much to consider."
Charlmilia complained, but no one blamed her in this kind of situation.
"For now, we'd better find a place we can use as headquarters. Second, we need to find something more important."
"Kuro and Laila?"
"No, we have to find food."
♦️♦️♦️

At the same time the announcement was heard, Charlmilia and Fila managed to get their second hunt in the form of a white rabbit that has 3 tails.
The rabbit was not a monster, but an ordinary animal known as the Tritail Rabbit. Their meat is soft and tasty, but they are so agile that they are hard to obtain. Especially in this season.
Unfortunately, for Charlmilia who can use Electro Pulse and move like lightning, finding and catching them is easy.
"With this we will be safe for one day. But is it okay we're this relaxed?"
"In Battle Royale indeed we are required to get rid of other participants as quickly as possible, but doing such a thing in a situation like this is just careless action. Haven't we talked about this many times?"
Charlmilia showed her dissatisfaction. Of all, perhaps he was the most impatient person because he wanted to immediately defeat Kuro and Laila.
The initial plan that used Electro Pulse to find Laila and Kuro then attacked them with a surprise attack failed by an unexpected attack from them.
Of course they are not too surprised by this because they have prepared various plans, only the current situation is right beyond their estimates.
"Well, of course there are some participants who are warm-blooded so can't wait to fight with other participants. For now, calm yourself."
Charlmilia. If Fila had said that, she couldn't say anything else.
They returned to their place for a while.
But at that moment they both felt the presence of someone.
"Please..."
"I know..."
Charmilia pulled the rapier orichalcum she got from Hakor. The rapier itself is a little unique in that it is so small it resembles a giant needle fitted with a handle.
Charlmilia initially felt strange about the rapier, but after swinging it a few times and trying it out in practice, she was surprised that the rapier was so well suited to his fighting style.
One of the 5 items that are allowed to be carried is the rapier.
Unlike Charlmilia, Fila was only prepared by creating iron sand.
"Geez, after so long without seeing each other, is this the welcome you gave your ex-family?"
"!?"
They looked towards the source of the sound. There they immediately found two young men who leaned against a tree with a relaxed.
But that was not what surprised Charlmilia. He was shocked to discover that one of the young men was someone he knew.
"Chris?"
"Why are you so surprised. Ah.. Could it be that you didn't think I'd see you this soon?"
One of the youths had blond hair and blue eyes like Charlmilia. Not only that, they also have a similar face shape.
Understandably, they are brothers born from the same mother.
"S-that's kind..."
Charlmilia knew from the beginning that her brother would be taking part in this year's Battle War. But this still surprised him.
"Oh yes, now you are the princess. Sorry for being so rude."
Chris bowed in a sign of respect.
Seeing that Charlmilia's face immediately flushed red. He was angry and upset.
(I guess I don't get along with Chris at all)
Chris is only two years older than Charlmilia. Although almost from all aspects of their appearance is very similar, but their properties are opposite to each other.
If Charlmilia is a rebellious girl who doesn't want to be restrained by rules, Chris is a very strict person.
Unfortunately, it was not because he was a devout person at the dissipilin. But more on people who don't want to get into trouble.
In short, he was a slacker.
But from his ugly nature, he was the type of person who could be said to be a true noble. He knows when to behave and when to make important decisions. And of all that, he was the one who always looked ahead.
The positive attitude he had made him so popular. It's just that he's less aware of it.
"It's okay. We are brothers anyway."
"All right..."
Chris immediately put on a lazy face.
"Hey. Isn't it unfair that you say hello to them?"
"Include me, it's Roby."
"Is that all?! As a best friend you should introduce me more seriously!!"
"Enterrifying. Don't they know without me introducing you to them?"
"..."
(As usual, I don't know what Chris's thinking.)
Although she looked foolish, Charlmilia knew her brother more than that.
"Forgot that problem, what's your purpose here? If you fight, I will gladly serve you."
"Hey..don't ignore me!!"
Nobody cares about Roby.
"Well, that would be very interesting."
Chris' magic pressure is increasing rapidly. Same with Roby.
"Honestly, I want to know the extent of the power so that you become the princess. "
A figure of a kstaria with an iron robe and a huge spear appeared beside Chris. It was Chris' magic beast.
"me too... "
This time a fox appeared. But unlike normal foxes, this fox is three meters in size and has 6 tails with fire enveloping its tail.
Not to be outdone, Charlmilia also went along to call the Byakko. Meanwhile, Fila called Pandora.
A figure of an iron fox appeared. The fox belonging to Fila is not so big with a size of 2 meters.
"Fuu... I thought it would be boring like that, but I'm sure you guys can make us more entertained. [Roar Flame]"
Inari let out a burst of flames that engulfed everything within a range of 30 meters more. His attacks easily melted the ice and scorched the land.
"Lightning Roar!!!"
From one of the dead corners, Charlmilia returned the attack after dodging. But Lancelot quickly intercepted and neutralized his attack.
Then in an instant Charlmilia appeared in front of Roby with a slashing attack. He moved at a speed exceeding that of sound with lightning magic. The attack will definitely not be held by Roby.
"Shyield!"
But that doesn't mean that no one can withstand his attack. That person is Lancelot.
Charlmilia kept her distance. But Lancelot quickly caught up as if he had the same speed as Charlmilia. That's the truth.
Having no other choice, Charlmilia had to defeat Lancelot first. It's just, it doesn't mean he just attacked like that.
(Now!!)
As before, the Byakko attacked from a blind spot by using lightning element magic to speed up its attack. This time they will succeed.
But reality says something else.
With his bare hands, Chris gripped Byakko's neck and squeezed it to pieces.
"..."
"..."
Everyone who saw that was dumbfounded. How could it easily destroy a divine beast with just bare hands?
♦️♦️♦️
[Once again we are taken aback by what participants can do. He is the son of General Magil, right? If it's this strong, why haven't I heard his name?]
{I think everyone thinks the same as you. Why has this guy never even appeared? Well... I don't really know either, it's just that he's pretty lazy. Maybe that's the reason why he doesn't want to flashy}
[Then why did he show up now? With such strength, she must have become a heavy rival to Princess Victoria.]
{Entahlah. Even for me, he is a difficult person to guess. It's just, in this way, the fight this time will be interesting.}
