76 – Chapter 27. Show Me the Spirit – 3

– 77 –

After the game, I took a break, so it was time for lunch.

I agreed to have her lunch with Cermia, so I joined her near her player staging area.

“Oh, I’m hungry. I was very hungry after playing hard.”

“Erif didn’t even come out of the game… …. Are you going to eat a lunch box?”

“Yes. Because I can’t pick it up at the kiosk until a day like today.”

After going to the Baek Army headquarters and receiving a lunch box, I ate while admiring the composition of the luxurious lunch box.

I was sitting in a chair pounding on my full stomach, and my classmate was walking around calling me by my name.

As I raised his hand, a friend who saw me ran to me.

“Erif. Kaon-senpai is looking for you.”

“Yes? Thanks for letting me know.”

“Let her go. If you don’t think you’ll be able to come back here, we’ll see you later at the all-out war.”

“Yes. I will be back.”

I headed to the center of the headquarters where Kaon was being sent off by Cermia.

“Erif is here.”

There was a place where a tent used by the military had been set up inside the headquarters with a high tent, and there, Kaon was calling me with his head sticking out.

In the tent, the members of the all-out war had already gathered, but I was a little embarrassed because I, the youngest, appeared later.

“Erif. Sit here.”

Following Mel Har-senpai’s words, as he sat down next to her, Kaon coughed and cleared her throat.

“After I personally did an all-out war, I thought it would be better to plan a strategy in advance, so I joined them. Sorry for calling you at lunchtime.”

“No. Winning is more important. Is not it?”

Older Tyrian shrugged her shoulders and turned her gaze away to Mel Har.

We nodded enthusiastically in agreement with him.

“Then, let’s analyze the enemy first. This is a video my friend saved me, but only the highlights are selected.”

“It’s been less than an hour since the match?”

“He’s a good friend of those things.”

In Kaon’s tone of voice, along with her pride, there was an unfamiliar bitterness.

By the way, not long ago, I saw a promotional video for the military academy that the sophomores made, and the main character was Kaon.

Due to Kaon’s personality, she probably wouldn’t have taken the lead in her role, and she must have been suffering from one thing or another.

“Then let’s watch the video.”

When Kaon put a small card in the projector and turned on her switch, magic flowed through her device and an image appeared.

The video that Kaon turned on contained her topographical map and the appearance of the battlefield.

Next to her was the face and name of a senior enemy commander with a sharp impression.

“Roneus-senpai in the 4th grade conducting group. He comes from a military family and is said to be displeased with his father’s retirement after being wounded early in the Decade. You must be the type of person who rushes to achieve achievements. There are some signs of that in the actual game.”

“Where did you get that information?”

Tirian-senpai asked Kaon a question as if it was ridiculous, but he only smiled softly and then switched the screen.

“In a full-scale battle, I was the first to show how to use my own self-propelled artillery while maintaining a distance from my opponent. He has a great ability to predict and shoot. In the end, the Qing army was pushed back and it went up to 75-62.”

When Kaon manipulated the panel, the screen flipped.

There, Yurine’s face appeared.

“Ah, it’s Yuri.”

“Melhar-senpai. Anyone know?”

“Yes. She came as an exchange student in her pilot class when she was in sophomore year, so we never had the same class, but we get along well because the dorm is next to her.”

There are all kinds of coincidences.

Yuri is a person of interest, so she’ll have to ask Mel Har-senpai about this and that later after she’s done with an all-out war.

“Urine Claudia. She is an exchange student from Chromium, a 3rd year pilot class. She says she’s not just an exchange student, she’s a talent she’s almost brought in.”

Kaon read the description on the screen and then played the full-scale battle video.

“How did you get from 75 to 62 to 52 to 0? .”

“Is it possible that the Qing army made an important mistake?”

“The terrain over there was not a jungle, but a hilly plain. Except for the raid in the beginning, it would be almost a struggle, but if we just leave it alone, it won’t be like that.”

While the seniors were making their own inferences, scenes that were hard to believe were played on the screen.

“…… Does that make sense?”

“Aren’t four people conducting at the same time?”

“It’s amazing.”

As if to prove that she did not have the squire position of Chromium for nothing, Yuri showed off her outstanding commanding skills.

As soon as she took command, she finished her surprise, and she slowly formed her line with little loss as she slowly pulled back the infiltrating units deep in the enemy lines.

“We siege units that are retreating, but the attacking side suffers more damage.”

“How do you dodge each other like that? It’s like giving the tanks a direct ‘evasion order’…….”

Tyrian-senpai’s words gave Yuri a rough idea of what kind of magic you performed, but it wasn’t something that could be solved outside of her mouth.

Even if I could teach you the ancient language of ‘evasion maneuver’ right now, I wasn’t sure if the spirits in our tank would obey the command.

I’m sorry for the seniors, but only me and Kaon were able to give such a luxurious old-fashioned command here.

Canon is probably the first word you’ve ever heard, so it’s probably only me, who has the ability to control spirits, who can imitate that skill similarly.

Urine’s tank unit, which simply evaded as if predicting the enemy’s bombardment direction in advance, and then smashed the Blue Army’s tanks with a counterattack, achieved a unilateral victory to the point of losing troops intermittently to the blind bombardment.

The first graders who came out in the last order watched their troops wiped out in less than three minutes with an almost crying expression.

When the video was finished playing, the tent was enveloped in silence.

“Whew.”

Tirian-senpai’s sigh expressed our feelings.

Kaon was looking back at the video with a desperate face, but his expression gradually hardened as he couldn’t remember any special tricks.

“In the end, we have no choice but to rely on what the terrain looks like in our favor.”

“I don’t want to lose the championship.”

Speaking like that, Melhar-senpai’s eyes, who turned his gaze to me, were filled with anticipation of unknown origin.

After a light sigh at the burdensome gaze, he grabbed Kaon’s sleeve and pulled it slightly.

“Caon.”

“Huh, huh?”

Kaon, who opened his eyes from the video in surprise, turned around with a bewildered expression, and without a word I led him out of the tent.

“Erif, why are you doing this?”

“[[Dodge maneuver]]. It must have been an order from Yurine.”

“[[Dodge maneuver]]? Well. ‘Avoid’ and ‘Move’. No, is it a maneuver? Evasion maneuver? [[Dodge maneuver]] Ugh.”

Kaon, who inferred the meaning by combining words from ancient languages, pondered the words for a while, then wrapped his arms around his forehead to see if he had a headache.

“I never took an ancient language class, so I didn’t know much.”

“It’s not something you learn in class, what?”

Ancient language classes do not learn words such as ‘evasive maneuvers’ because they teach and learn mainly words used in real life.

This is a class that repeats and masters simple words that even pilots with a low affinity for spirits can use.

However, unlike a real tank, in the case of such a model tank, the command seems to work very effectively.

If the number and firepower are the same, it is inevitably advantageous to dodge even a little and hit the counter, and as it is, the victory will tilt uncontrollably like a dam collapsing.

And there was something different about Yurine’s conduct.

If you know exactly what it is, you can’t get a clue to victory.

“Caon. Let’s watch that video again.”

“Okay.”

As I was active, Kaon seemed motivated.

We went back to the tent and played Yurine’s video.

“Did you find any hints?”

“I will try to find it now.”

You can see the overall battlefield and Yurine’s appearance.

In a few words, the tank units on the battlefield move in unison.

“It seems that there are a lot more troops than we do.”

“Basically, three units are moving. After guiding the attack with the front tank, the other two destroy the enemy.”

I paused the video and pointed to the line formed by Yurine.

“However, even the front-most tank doesn’t fit well with evasive maneuvers, so the one who has only given a simple attack or movement order will be pushed back unilaterally.”

The number of enemy tanks led by Yurine does not seem to be decreasing, although they are clearly exchanging artillery fire with each other.

The line was pushed back and the Qing army, which was gradually being surrounded, was crushed as it was.

Especially, the scene where about fifty or so firearms were simultaneously bombarding the last one showed a horrendous number of violence.

The first year of Cheonggun might have cried in the end.

“Is it better for us to subdivide our troops?”

“Well. I think it would be confusing if I came here now.”

“For now, let’s predict when that friend will come out.”

Tirian-senpai’s we were lost in thought.

Kaon, who made a quick decision like the command team, spoke first.

“It is most likely the first or the last.”

“Isn’t it the same as the first edition?”

“Well. We also came up by defeating the Black Army by a big gap, right? So you have to set boundaries.”

Kaon placed his fists on his table.

“If I were the enemy, and if it were Yurine-senpai or a student in the command group over there, I would be the first to go.”

“Do you think you are trying to spread the number by overwhelming from the beginning?”

“Yes.”

“Well. I agree.”

I also thought Kaon’s words were valid, but she knew that Yuri was showing a lot of interest in me, so I thought she might come out last to fight me.

The logic was rather weak to explain this, so I decided to follow the commander Kaon’s opinion.

In the midst of a discussion like that, a broadcast came out from a nearby speaker.

“Lunch time is over. Did everyone enjoy the meal? As a result of the all-out war in the morning, the White Army and the Red Army faced each other in the afternoon. The current score is 1000 points for the Black Army, 1100 Points for the White Army, 1150 Points for the Red Army, and 800 Points for the Blue Army. The winner will be decided according to the all-out final, so please support us a lot.”

We sighed at the same time, no matter who came first.

After looking at each other’s faces for a while, Tyrian, the oldest, opened his mouth.

“Shall we go?”

“Yes.”

The pressure of winning, the fear of a powerful enemy, and the heightened feeling of battle at the bottom of the mind mixed together to create an incomprehensible feeling.

The all-out war final that finally stood.

An all-out war took place on a huge battlefield by combining what had been previously conducted in two places into one.

I saw four representatives of the enemy army over there, far away on the battlefield.

Yuri wears a red armband that stands out from afar.

She looked this way, and she seemed to be smiling.

“The current time is 1:30. Let’s start building the terrain.”

The teachers and wizards started pouring their magic into the crystal ball installed outside the stadium.

“Street Fight!”

Caon quickly scanned the battlefield and started deploying.

After removing all the self-propelled guns and choosing all the tanks, he busily manipulated the panel and explained the strategy.

“Since it’s a street fight, evasive maneuvers like before will be a little difficult. Of course, there is a lot of cover, so it can be more difficult, but there are obstacles here too, so it won’t be one-sided.”

Kaon, who looks a little excited, changed his place and finally confirmed his position.

“The current time is 1:37. I will send in troops.”

Senior Ti Rian, who even used a telescope to observe the enemy’s movements, whispered something to Kaon, and Kaon nodded his head and raised his index finger.

“I am first, Tyrian senior second, Melhar senior third, and Erif the last. Would it be okay?”

“Yes. I’m okay.”

“I am second… …. It’s a bit stressful, but I’ll do my best.”

All eyes naturally gathered on me.

“Don’t worry. I will definitely win.”

The seniors who heard me laughed with relaxed faces.

“The current time is 1:40. From now on, the real last match of the thousand two festivals. Let the all-out war final begin!”

Wow!

The start signal sounded with cheers enough to leave the whole school.

Kaon put on his headset and took a step forward with a microphone.

I was used to seeing the battlefield with one eye and the panel with the other, but the movements of the enemies were strangely familiar.

Senior Ty Rian, who was looking through the telescope, clicked his tongue.

“Yourine is the first!”

“I know!”

The place is a street battle. Each army was given 100 tanks.

White and red tanks advance with their main guns pointed in each other’s directions.

“No. 1~3 [[Detour to the left]], [[Shooting]] In front of No. 4, Then retreat, 5~8… ….”

Kaon’s expression distorted moment by moment as he poured out commands without even having time to breathe.

Even though the allies had their own strategy of shooting and evacuating while wearing buildings, Yurine’s enemy tanks quickly reduced the number of allied tanks by showing sword-like attack timing, evasion, and cover just like a veteran unit wandering the battlefield. .

When the score went up to 78:91, Kaon clenched his teeth.

“After the entire army [[Escape maneuver]]… ….”

Kaon suddenly grabbed his head and staggered.

From the moment he talked about evasive maneuvers, he knew that Kaon would do the crowd, so he went forward and supported his back.

“Don’t overdo it.”

“Erif… ….”

In the meantime, the number of remaining tanks fell below 75.

The second commander, Senior Tyrian, accepted only the microphone and began to give orders with great force.

“All troops [[Assault]]!”

I couldn’t find an answer, so I guess I just decided to push it.

Unexpectedly, a voice from the other side seemed to agree with his decision.

“All troops [[Assault]]! Level the banks and prisons!”

When Yurine, who grabbed the microphone, burst out in a madness and shouted, the red tank unit began to advance at once.

Dozens of tanks exchanged bombardment at once in a wide open space formed by the collapse of buildings.

Colorful magic split the air, and the result was somewhat unexpected.

“Oh! White Army in crisis, showing unexpected propaganda!」

Perhaps Kaon’s last evasive maneuver was effective, and many of the tanks on both sides were silent while paying a similar exchange fee.

Now the score is 65:79

“Is it worth doing?”

The moment Tyrian-senpai was so lucky, a flame from somewhere was dropped on the place where allied tanks had gathered.

“Oh, I have a self-propelled gun!”

From a position that can only be described as exquisite, self-propelled artillery fire continued through the cracks in the collapsed building.

The friendly tanks that were fighting fiercely with the enemy started to stop moving one by one, and senior Ty Rian had no choice but to retreat his army and start rearranging near the main base.

“Ah… ….”

In the midst of retreating, relentless shelling followed, and the number of allies eventually decreased to 50.

Senior Melhar wearing a headset quickly took over.

Score is 50:76

Urine, who is persistently not letting go of the command, has already faced our third member.

Qwaang-!

Fortunately, with the calm leadership of Melhar-senpai, Yurine was able to shake off immediately.

And then the 4th grader who took the lead in the enemy army last time.

“み.”

In response to the attack that suddenly pierced his left, senior Mel Har responded by advancing the tanks that were forming lines from the rear.

When a line was formed on the left side of the battlefield, this time on the right side. Then the center.

Senior Melhar, who had been promoting against the enemy who repeatedly stabbed and fell, did not miss the opportunity to strike forward and began to stab.

“Ah, senior, that’s it!”

As Kaon was about to say something, the enemy’s self-propelled artillery fired fire again.

“Ah!”

The score became 25:61 with the sad cry of Melhar.

More than twice the difference.

It was evident that Kaon and other seniors, as well as Baek, who had been cheering hard, lost all their energy.

Now is my turn.

I took the headset from Melhar-senpai and snatched the microphone from Tyrian-senpai.

In the meantime, the enemy forces pushed in and destroyed two more friendly tanks.

This moment when no one in the White Army is optimistic about victory.

I stood on the stage and raised the microphone.

From now on, I am the one in charge of this battlefield.

“[[Elemental Control]]”

The air current of the battlefield has begun to change.
