n unspoken agreement in the preliminary rounds of all tournaments, and we, HEROES, are treated as one of the favored teams.

But sometimes, we also get to enjoy the appearance of the dark horses, which is one of the most enjoyable parts of a gaming tournament.

Well, that’s all that Rin-chan’s said anyway.

“The challenge will come after tomorrow’s main tournament when the strong pro- and amateur players start to gather.
One is because we are inexperienced in Zero Wars VR, so we have to fight around Suupaa.

And there comes the second problem, any team with a little bit of judgement will know that, and they will target Suupaa for sure.
Even the prodigy Suupaa will have a hard time when she’s under concentrated fire, right?”

“…yeah, even for me, it will be tough when there are 10 or more people pinned me on closed space with little or no natural shield.”

Suu-chan scratched her cheeks and nodded.

I was surprised at Suu-chan’s casual remark that it was not impossible to defeat up to 10 people, or more than 10 if there was a lot of shielding.

“Precisely.
Anyway, can you take on that many people by yourself?”

“Ten people, maybe.”

“As you can see, Suupaa is dependable, but it’s tough to beat them all by yourself.
That’s where you come in, Nana.”

“Me?”

Surprised, Suu-chan quickly turned her gaze to me while I was still confused and tilted my head.

Why did she get surprised, though? From the flow of the conversation is going right now, aren’t we all trying to reduce Suu-chan’s burden?

“Do you know that I had given Nana a slightly different mission during yesterday’s practice, along with team alignment?”

“Oh, you mean the task to study the whole map for every detail?”

“Yes, that one.”

Indeed, I had received such instructions from Rin-chan before, or more precisely, the instruction is in full effect ever since I watched many videos on the monitor.

In short, it was the instruction to learn about every inch of the field.

“Can’t anyone figure out the whole area of a field map by looking at a map?”

“If only to grasp the terrain, yeah.
But I asked Nana to memorize not only the terrain but also the internal structure of the buildings, the materials used in their construction, and the detailed construction of the terrain.”

“wha…? And what is it for?”

Suu-chan curiously pressed on.
She did not understand the purpose of my mission from Rin-chan’s explanation.

“[The Witch of the Magic Bullet] Suupaa-chan must have heard of it, right?”

“[The Witch of the Magic Bullet]! There’s no way I didn’t know that! I’m a series fan legend!”

What is… magic bullet?

Or, to be exact [The Witch of the Magic Bullet].
That’s a pretty cool second name.

Does it mean [magic-like bullet], or maybe it means something else?

Hmmm…but since she is a witch, it seems to mean [bullets of out magic]?

But still, a legend, huh? Rin-chan, I don’t know there was a time when you were working with such a great person.

“She has a cool name, isn’t she? What kind of legend did she leave behind?”

“She is such a monster player that they called her [the Origin Hero of Zero Wars]! She is famous for her accuracy with all types of weapons, the deviation from the target, her accuracy in spotting, and most of all, the famous ricochet headshot, or [Magic Bullet].
Even shields are rendered meaningless, an extreme technique that even cheats cannot reproduce.
It stated in the video that she was Rinne’s friend, but since she did not appear at all outside of that series, she has become a legend!”

Suu-chan excitedly talks about the [The Witch of Magic Bullet] in response to Touka-chan’s question.
Perhaps she is a fan of the witch.

I also was surprised at Suu-chan’s excitement, and a moment later, Touka-chan nodded her head as if she understood everything.

“……I see.
Rin-nee-chan that was her, isn’t she?”

“Yep, she’s Nana.”

“Ha?”

“He?”

Rin-chan nodded with satisfaction, Touka-chan boasted, and Suu-chan froze like a stone, and I didn’t understand anything.

There was a bit of chaos in the air between the four of us.
