My Daily Life In Magic Academy's

Chapter 19 Match Against Android Part I

"I'm sorry to worry you guys and I'm also sorry for bothering you Mr. Robert."

Several minutes had passed since Master Robert had taken Raihan away, and he had now returned with Master Robert. A moment he returned,

Raihan lowered his head, apologizing to us and Master Robert seriously.

Actually I was not worried about Raihan, but there was no way I would say that in front of his face, therefore I held back my words and spewed out lies to him. "Don't get too dizzy, it's not your fault anyway." My word.

"You don't have to apologize" said teacher Robert. "It's our job to take care of the student who's making trouble... Alright, since our time is seized due to the problems before her, I will begin the core lessons of the magic practice this time around... But before we begin, let me introduce my assistants in teaching this session."

Raihan and Master Robert were not alone when they returned to the field, they both came together with several people, five of them precisely, consisting of 3 women and 2 men. They use a black jump suit. As long as the five of them had come with Master Robert, they had not said a word at all, their faces were flat and their gazes were blank. Less intrigue with us, and also our focus was sidetracked to Raihan, we were completely unaware of their existence. Or maybe because they are weak?

"Include yourself!" Instructions of Master Robert.

One of the five nodded his fist, advancing, out of line. "Greetings know all my names Alpha." Introducing herself was a long black haired woman, her voice flat and showing no emotion in the slightest. The introduction then continued, this time the one who advanced was a man with a stocky and short body. "I'm Beta." Her words were with her same flat tone as the woman before her. "I'm Charlie." Continued with the man next to her who was thin. "I'm Delta." Then in the female next to him, he was short, although not as short as my body. And lastly was the short blue haired woman who introduced herself as "Epsilon."

During their introductions, I realized, no, not only was I conscious, but all my classmates were aware that they were introducing themselves in alphabetical order, then their name is also like the name of the ancient alphabet in a country that once stood.

"You may be aware of the peculiarities of their names and the way they speak... Well, it's only natural that you feel weird, it's because they're not human. They are the Android developed by Academy."

So that was the reason why their existence was so weak. They were not human from the beginning. Today's humans have a keen perception, we can be aware of the existence of other humans easily (even if the humans do not use special techniques to hide their existence.) His lack of emotion and lack of interaction with us are also explained by Master Robert's words. Actually, the existence of robots, Android and its kind is not rare in this day and age that have so advanced technology, therefore we are not so surprised to hear that they are not humans. Although their appearance is so similar to that of humans, there are some aspects that cannot make them a full-fledged human being, one of which is their lack of emotions and desires. Android cannot do something if it is not in command, they have no personal desire. They also could not use magic because they could not absorb Carlania Particles in the air.

Want how great man is at this time, to be able to reverse entropy, control atoms and do various things beyond his other reason, he said, we cannot keep up with the power of the entity that created and governed our destiny. This shows how weak the creature called man is.

"So Mr. Robert, why did you bring an android here?" Tanya Alexandria whose form has returned to be feminine again.

"As I said, we're going to get to the core on magic practice this time."

The development of technology, economics, and medical science is clearly increasing rapidly due to the existence of witchcraft. For example, the science of alchemy. With the existence of this science as one of the branches of magic, the medical world can create potions that can cure all kinds of diseases, then there is a science that enters the magic branch called "Magic Enchanment" Who studied the hoarding of Carlania particles to an object, making the development of technology so rapid, one of his successfully created a teleportation tool.

But not only in that field which is experiencing development due to witchcraft, in the field of sports are also included. If in ancient times, the most popular sport was football. It's different now. As a result of human evolution, which is now the physical ability of the average human being increased far beyond reason, the sport of football becomes no longer exciting to watch, that is why the world sports organizations created a new sport that soon shifted the popularity of football. Although there are several sports that are created, but this time the sport is the most popular among other sports.

The sport is now used as one of the entertainment that is always broadcast on the national TV channel every week, even in the space of 4 years there is also a world championship worthy of soccer in ancient times.

As someone who follows the development of the world of magic, I certainly love this one sport. This sport we call "Capture the flag!"

As the name suggests, "Capture Flags" is a sport that brings together two or more teams, each team consisting of 4-8 people. The competing team will attempt to take the opponent's flag until the specified time. The game is 90 minutes long, just like football. If our flag is captured during the time is not up, we are still given the opportunity to retake it until the time runs out. Although it sounds simple, but there is a strategy that is so complex in playing this sport. Such as dividing teams into attacking or defensive positions, or how to hide the flag, and there are still many complex tactics in this game.

Games are carried out in various arenas, such as housing, dead cities, or islands. The point is the game is carried out in a place that is not entirely open. This is useful for hiding the flag from the enemy.

This time teacher Robert brought all five androids to compete against the five of us. The match was held in one of the school complexes, more precisely at the end of the floating island where the Magic Academy stood. The arena where we competed was 350 square meters wide, with auditorium buildings, labs, school warehouses and unused buildings adorning the arena.

With a lot of buildings like this, we were forced to look for the opponent's flag, and hide our flag from the opponent.

With an arena this big, how could we find the opponent's flag? There is actually a drone that always goes around in the arena, and every 5 minutes, it will show you a map of the arena. The essence of strategy in this game is in this drone, if we manage to trick the enemy with false information before the drone shows a map, then victory will be easy to achieve. Or so the strategy...

Now that we have moved to the school complex at the end of the floating island, the game will start within a minute, me and my classmates are in an old building or rather a storage warehouse, we are currently negotiating our game strategy.

"First of all, we divide the team in two. One attacks, and one defends." Dani put forth her opinion. A very classic strategy, which he proposed, but effective. Also, we do not know anything about the android we are fighting, we lack information! Therefore, it might be better for now that we use the classic strategy proposed by Dani.

Since no one disputed Dani's strategy, he concluded that everyone agreed with his strategy, he then proceeded to divide our team in two.

"From your abilities, I advise Alexandria, Raihan and I to be the attacking team. While Natasha and Mira took a defensive position. Does anyone mind?" Ask Dani.

Glancing briefly to the left and right to watch the other expressions at a glance, I could tell that they were not against Dani's suggestion. I took the initiative to answer "Nothing!" On Dani's question.

"Good!"

"But before that," Natasha raised her hand.

"What's wrong?"

"I want to ask... What should we do with the flag? Hiding her?"

"true too... I don't think about that..."

"There's no time to think about it anymore" I said to Dani who immediately held her chin, puzzled to answer a question from Natasha. "For the flag issue, leave it to me. You three just focus on attacking!"

".... All right, I'm trusting you. After all, a team must trust each other!"

Preparation time is up. Dani, Alexandria and Raihan come straight out of the warehouse, scouring the arena in search of the opponent's flag. Me and Natasha, who were alone, were back in negotiations about the flag we had to keep.

The flag we kept was right next to us. I touched the flag while discussing my strategy with Natasha.

"We don't have to hide this flag." I said to Natasha while gathering magic energy in my palm.

"Then what's your plan?"

"Classical tactics. Just like Dani's proposal..." I said to tell Natasha, her final magic energy has gathered in my palm, all that remains is to enter the program to create the phenomenon. To put it more simply, cast a magic spell to activate magic. "Magic Sets. Analyze, Copy!" Activating two magic at once, I created a flag dupcliate. A new flag whose appearance is exactly the same as the first appears from empty air, right to the right of the original flag.

The original flag has a small chip that is useful to mark if our flag has been captured by the enemy or not. The chip is very small, the size of a needle, if not carefully observed the chip can not be seen with the naked eye. The chip was located on a flagpole that from the beginning had been planted on the ground. When our flag is captured by the enemy chip it will emit a red light that can only be seen if the room is really no light, while when the flag is still safe with us, the chip will emit a blue light.

I made a few more flags, until the end of which we had five. I then instructed Natasha to turn off the lights inside the room and block the light from entering from outside. As Natasha did as I instructed, immediately the chip on the original flag lit up, Natasha with her initiative took the flag, removed it from the ground and said to me "I'll hide this flag in the basement."

"OK..." Answer me.

Although the flagpole is only 3 millimeters in diameter, but still due to the pole is removed from the ground, it will bring up a hole with the same diameter as the pole. Maybe that small hole is not noticed by the enemy, but I prefer to be careful to cover the small hole until it is completely closed.

Moments later Natasha came back from the basement, I turned on the lights, then Natasha reopened the cover blocking the light from outside, making the room bright again. In this way, the enemy will not know that there is no real flag in our room at this time.

"The first trap has been set" I said, "We continue with the second trap."
