Things
return to Tatsuya informing Leo and Mikihiko of the part they will
play in the Monolith Code event. That in a way it seems that Tatsuya
derives some pleasure from this since he couldn't get out of it then
they have no right trying to escape their fate either. This leads to
Tatsuya explain his plan for the event it self. First is the issue
with Leo since his magic is focus on self fortification which would
make is magic illegal under the rules of the competition since direct
physical attack are forbidden. However Tatsuya has a loop hole in
this by having Leo use the splitting sword which would allow him to
use fortification from a distance not breaking the rules. The second
issue is Mikihiko doubt in his magic and how he feels that modern
magic is superior to ancient. However Tatsuya clears this
misconception by going into the fact that the only thing Modern magic
has going for it is speed, while Ancient magic is superior to it in
all other respects such as potency and diversity.
This
gets us into their position in the event itself Leo will be the
defender protecting the monolith. Mikihiko will provide support to
both Leo on defense and Tatsuya that is on offense. Then point of
this formation is not to directly engage the enemy by win by
accessing the monolith. While it seems that the other school have
trained in this event for direct confrontation are in the end ill
prepared to counter Tatsuya tactics. The just cruse through all of
the other school expect their true competition the third high school
that will be decided next time. However they were fortunate drawing
field that suit their tactics. Although the match against the Third
High School is going to be difficult for Tatsuya because it is on an
open field which Misaki Ichijo excels on and there will no where to
hide. This is why Ichijo has issue a challenge to Tatsuya in his last
match before the fight to force Tatsuya to fight him head on.
While
Ichijo might get his wish I don't expect that Tatsuya will play fair.
First you have his military superiors mentioning two spells he hasn't
used yet Flash Cast and Elemental Sight which hint at the fact that
he has been saving them for the final match. Then you have this
package that Kokonoe-sensei has Haruka deliver to Tatsuya and is this
something he is going to use in his match with Ichijo or is it
something that he will use in the coming confrontation with the
No-Headed Dragon that is coming. Then towards this end he offers to
pay Haruka if she can find the location of No-Headed Dragon's base of
operation, that he wants to know where they are in case they decided
to attack but for now it is just for preparations.
This
also leads to the question of the ramification of what victory will
mean for him. That Ichijo is the third high school star player the
best of the best. What will this mean if Tatsuya a 2 course student
beats him. Someone that normal would have never have competed if
Morisaki's team was never taken out. There is also the fact that the
field that they will battle on is very convent for the third high
school giving them just what they wanted. While Ichijo might not be
connected to the syndicate it is possible that Kichijoji is because
it is something that could have easy been arranged and it seemed like
Kichijoji knew it was going to be an open fielded. It appears that
Monolith Code has too much attention brought to it for direct
interference to be possible but it might just be that they don't
think it is possible for Ichijo to lose to a course 2 student in
direct combat.
