63-formation phalanx




 Then.
 After a five-minute interval, the order of attack for the D-team came around.

 It was supposed to be used to decide who would be the shooter, but the D-team meeting ended quickly.

 However, our D-team meeting was over quickly, because there were only a few people on our team who seemed to be suitable for the role of attacker.

"Yes! We're going to make up for the mistake we made earlier with this attack!

''Hmm. If you let me use my attack magic, I won't stop attaches!

 Unfortunately, we were forced to elect Eliza and Ted, who were irreplaceable.

 It's a shame, but it can't be helped.
 It's not that these two are reliable, but they certainly seem to have more energy than the other members.

''Eliza-san! Ladies and gentlemen! Good luck!

 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
 Yukari, the dark-haired girl who showed a surprising struggle in the last game, is now on reserve.

 At the team meeting, the plan to drop Ted, who isn't very good at his head, and have Yukari step in was discussed, but it was rejected at her request.

 Well, Yukari's reserved nature is not suited for the attacker (shooter) in some ways, I suppose.

''Master! We're going to win for sure!

Let's show them what we're really about! Spunk! Spunk!

 They say with a snort.

 Good grief.
 I'd like to keep the insiders quiet here, but it's unthinkable for them to act conspicuously one after the other.

 Ideally, it would be good if the internal students were wiped out by Eliza and Ted's attacks, so there would be no trouble.

''Pupu. You hear that? That. It's a spirited one.

I mean, is that kind of mentality even valid nowadays?

 The court is filled with seven rabbis from the internal student team.

 They're still shooting contemptuous glances in our direction, but I can see the confidence behind their eyes.

 Hmm.


 By the looks of it, they've got some kind of plan to win.

 The whistle sounds. The game is on.

"All right. Let's lightly beat up all the gobshite fish. Formations! The Phalanx!

""Got it!"

 The seven students gather in the center and form a formation with their backs to each other.

 I see.
 At this point, I had a rough idea of the enemy team's strategy.

'Did they gather and make the target bigger? Yay!

Hmmm. It's a summer bug that flies into the fire!

 First, Ted fired a jutsu bullet, and later, Eliza attacked the enemy team from the exact opposite direction.

 Probably trying to confuse the enemy team by attacking from two different directions.

 Huh. You've fallen for the enemy's ploy.

''Northwest! It's a type, a spear!

Southeast! Type, discs (discs) are coming!

 I knew it. I knew it was going to be like this.
 The reason for the insiders to gather in one place--that was to share information and eliminate blind spots by voicing their opinions to each other.

 The reason for the insiders to gather in one place was to share information by shouting at each other and eliminating blind spots.

"The attack isn't hitting us at all!

''Kuh ....... We should be overwhelmed by the power of magic, but ......!

 Hmm. This is getting a bit messy.
 Teamwork among the internal students is not something that can be learned overnight.

 They've probably gained a fair amount of experience since their preparatory school days and have learned the theory of the competition.

 If this was a spontaneous formation, a weakness that is easy to understand would come to light, but I don't see that happening at the moment either.

''Haha! They're an exotic species (Poison Perch), and they don't even seem to be able to get a well-timed pincer shot.

It's your basic 'ki'.

 Phew.


 Probably leaving it up to the two of you to do this will only consume your time in mischief.

 It can't be helped.
 Let's get out the last resort, which I didn't want to use if possible.
