City Of Witches 341

Chapter 341 – #74_The Witch of Laziness (6)

#339

One.
As soon as Diana left the host bar, she bought a location board from a nearby shop.
She then started her recovery after ordering an ice cream at the cafe she had been eyeing yesterday.
Memorize each other’s numbers and alternate them one by one.

“Whoa….”

Siwoo blocked all of Diana’s attacks as if they were funny.
The promiscuous numbers that shook Diana from the beginning.
As a result of meticulously and calmly retracing, a thought pops into my heart.

“If I follow the rules, I think I will just win….”

Her confrontation with him was always similar.
Siwoo makes an unexpected move, and Diana stops him.
When Diana tried to do something to her impatient heart, she was sunk by a trick that appeared by surprise.

The thing that upsets me the most is that.

“Why is it a dispel pin… ?”

The Dispel Pin is a very ineffective strategy on the location board.
In general, it is difficult to succeed, and even if you succeed, the merit is not so great.
It is a high-risk, low-return tactic that makes the successful person feel bad and the victim is greatly disgraced.
In other words, it is a kind of playful personality play.

However, the number of dispels Diana suffered from Siwoo today was greater than the number of dispels she suffered while playing her position board.
It was natural for the dress to turn inside out.

“Still….”

If you think about it calmly, it wasn’t something that would end in anger.
Whatever the process, he saw through Diana’s intentions and won her victory through her strategic plan.
But.

“Shut up… !”

I was angry no matter how much I thought about it.

“Dare… “

It seems like even Jung Seok can’t study properly!

“To use bizarre tricks and tricks….”

However, a cold evaluation is impossible in such a mood of having the victory stolen.
Absolutely impossible, even for pride.

“I really died tomorrow… !”

A strategy with clear characteristics like Siu did is not something that can be used multiple times.
Truly a joker card.

It is valid once or twice only if it goes through well.
Today, I firmly believe that I was caught while being careless.
Diana prepared for tomorrow.

2.
“Welcome, Lady Diana.”
“Please prepare the location board. I’ll make you a drink.”

6 o’clock the next morning.
Diana, who skipped breakfast today and went to the host bar, repeated that she was confident this time.
Strategy analysis and countermeasures are also perfect.
In order to return the humiliation she received yesterday, I stepped into her bar with the spirit of non-retirement and immediately prepared a plate.

“You are in such a hurry. Do you have any appointments today?”

Seeing Siwoo speak with a smile as if she didn’t know anything, Diana felt her heart thump thump.
When people are angry, their hearts beat.
I don’t like the expression that always turns around as if I don’t know anything, the sly attitude, the unlucky way of playing, or the fact that I’m a male witch.

“Whoa….”

It is not noble to show emotion directly.
Even if there is dissatisfaction, it is natural for a young lady to politely turn around and give hints so that the other person can notice on their own.
But I must say this.

“I don’t like you.”
“Is that so? You come to visit me every morning these days?”

Diana involuntarily sticks out her lips and quips in a disgruntled voice.
Host Mode Siu accepts it calmly.

“I don’t like it the most about being skinny like that.”
“I will be careful in the future.”
“Huh… !”

Seeing him refuse to say a word until the very end (in Diana’s eyes it seemed that way), she snorted and sat down on the sofa rather roughly.

The current overall score is 2-2.
If Diana loses this board, it would be like allowing a reverse sweep to the location board novice.
Diana spoke first before the game started in earnest.

“The dispel pin seems to be your specialty, right?”

Siwoo, who had paused, answered sincerely.

“I don’t know much about magic, but I have some knowledge about the interpretation of magic formulas and parquet.”
“It won’t be like that this time.”
“I look forward to it.”

Diana raised her eyebrows fiercely and tightened her eyes.
The arrangement of the magical power source between the two was the same as usual.

Diana of the Jeongseok-oriented sect.
Shin Si-woo, the Demonic Cult who left Jeongseok.

But today was a little different.
Diana, who had always prepared for an attack after laying the groundwork and strengthening her inner strength, began to make aggressive moves from the beginning.

To compare the way Siwoo places the dispel, it is ‘laying mines’.
An unexpected surprise that came out of meaningless numbers spread all over the place.
So far, Diana has been working on her inner stability, and she has not held back the mine-laying operation.
As a result, you have now won! Didn’t you get caught off guard the moment you thought that?

“Whoops….”

Then.
Modify your strategy.

What if you induce endless small-scale skirmishes and press hard and densely so that there is no room for another move?
It becomes difficult to perform tricks like Dispel.

Diana’s habit.
When things go according to plan, she smiles, twitching the corner of her mouth.

Now, the corners of her mouth were raised.
It was because he could clearly see Siwoo, who was in a hurry to respond to Diana’s changed ethos overnight.

“Hmm….”

As evidence of that, Siwoo’s time to long-winded became more frequent.
His only organ, Dispel, was blocked, so that’s probably the case.
This is the difference between a witch who uses only savage tactics and an apprentice witch who steps on the standard while polishing the basics step by step.
A person who only resorts to tricks can never beat the standard model.

“Hmm, you are sharp. Are you having a bad day today? You are very aggressive.”

Look at this.
How desperate would you be to say such a thing?
Originally, it was a rule for her not to talk about games when she was in a big game, but Diana raised her chin feeling a sense of accusation.

“Then you look pretty frustrated. Do you think you have no skills other than a dispel pin?”
“Certainly, using Dispel seems difficult. Then we should do this.”
“Try to struggle. I will show you what proper magic is.”

After the words of the two courageous people, a fierce battle spreads.
Siwoo, who was in a hurry to stop it, changed his momentum.
In the same way, they began fighting Diana in a small battle.

“Put back fire. That’s a good choice. Are you there?”

Up to this point, Diana hadn’t thought much of it.
If it is a standard to continue to induce such a small-scale melee, then it is a standard.
I thought I wouldn’t support it.

An endless battle ensued.
A frantic fight in which runes are stolen, stolen runes are stolen, and stolen runes are stolen again.

“…….”

After a while, Diana felt a warm heat rise in her hair.
Being a melee in the first place made her head hurt.

As it is small, it takes less work to calculate, but the situation changes with one move.
Even if it is shaken for a moment, the battle may be lost.

“This… This….”

That’s why the melee on the location board and usually only happen in 5-6 sections.
However, this man spurred on more and was inducing the flames of the fight to spread in the 10th, 15th, and 20th sections.

Diana taking an aggressive offensive.
Even more aggressive, it was a mud fight that he couldn’t handle.

“What the hell are you thinking….”

It was a strange thing again and again.
A dogfight in which each other’s hair is shaken.
Diana shouted inwardly, ‘The game is really dirty!’, But responded to Siwoo’s attack.
Since the game has already widened, it would be a loss to withdraw her foot first.

“Ah….”

Diana’s soul was completely lost in the hectic battles that took place here and there in perfect order.
When Siwoo stopped the offensive and seemed to end the battle, he was able to breathe a sigh.
Diana dimly felt that she had finally been able to get out of her narrow field of vision and see her board wider.

“Uh?”

She was mistaken at first.
But when I wash her eyes and look closely, it’s the same.

The game is already lost.

She must have hit and run similarly, I thought.
One hit, one hit, one hit, one hit.
Even though it was a fight that wasn’t even in the textbook, he deeply acknowledged Siwoo’s ability to fight back to this extent, but he thought that this was a good fight.

But looking back, the victory was already on the decline.
The number of runes occupied was similar, but the necessary runes were handed over to Siwoo at some point.
Compared to Diana’s camp, which was in a mess after the melee, the opponent is ready to change the system at any time and make a leap forward again.

If this happens, the order of arranging her magic formula will make a difference.
Her opponent will be holding a warhammer in her full plate armour, while Diana applies her medicine, bandages her and climbs onto her ring.

From here, she can’t figure out what to do to win.
She lost
Even though all of her magic sources were still alive, Diana intuited her defeat.

Just as Diana was frantic, her opponent must have been the same.
But until after the melee was over, she naturally prepared for it?

Are you saying this is possible?
If this is really intentional….
It is no longer a human domain.
It’s a monster.
Around the time when Diana was shocked by the unexpected results.

-Widely!

Suddenly, a path appeared.
If Siwoo had entered the capture and hardening as it is, Diana would have been trampled without being able to resist her.

But he recklessly tried to continue the melee.
Even where Diana already has her dominance.

This mistake is an opportunity.
Diana quickly countered Siu’s attack while regaining her momentum.

There are often
Just like Diana did, her eyesight became narrow and she couldn’t read the overall flow of the game.
What she doesn’t realize is that she has an advantage or a disadvantage.

Siwoo’s actions just now proved that condition.
It’s not that they’re laying the groundwork for dispel, but they’re wasting numbers by showing excessive obsession in areas that don’t affect the game.

Diana desperately fought for the match.
I caught up with the gap that opened up while my opponent was fooling around.
The conviction that the recent crushing defeat was not due to skill but to ‘luck’ brought much more composure to Diana’s mind.

“I won. I.”

Overturn the unfavorable situation and achieve a great victory.
I grabbed the sweet fruit that fits the expression of the last minute.
Diana timidly clenched her fists and trembled in her body, savoring the pleasure of her victor.

“You are amazing. I just can’t stand it.”
“It’s because they’re fighting over Jung-gu heating like that. You couldn’t rectify what you opened, did you?”
“The score is 3 to 2 with this. I lost.”

Diana was excited.
She didn’t show it off, but the twitching corners of her mouth and the parting of her cute nostrils made her look very, very excited.

Therefore, I humbly admit it.
Although he’s a nerd who only uses weird strategies, he’s got some ability.

“But you are great too. If it wasn’t me but another apprentice witch, I would have lost helplessly. I can’t help but praise him for reaching that level with a man’s body.”
“Is that so?”
“But would I have lost if I had done this here? Look here.”

Diana, who became more generous with her final victory, even gave Siu instructions and praises.

“Anyway, you worked hard. I almost lost at the end of my carelessness.”
“It is overrated. I think it was also a time where I could learn a lot from Diana.”

Diana rose from her seat.

“Then, next time I have a chance, I will come again.”
“Uh? Aren’t you coming tomorrow?”
“Why me? Did you already win?”

In the 5th edition, there was no saying that she was best of 3, but Diana decided it on her own.
Seeing Siwoo’s embarrassed expression, she grinned.
She couldn’t hide her frivolous smile this time, so she was white and even her teeth were showing.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t like bullying people who are worse off than me…. Enough, it was pretty fun.”

Diana, who blew her last exhilarating line, left her host bar with steps like the wind.
It was a very nice sunny day.

2.
Siwoo blankly looked at the location board.
I also looked at the door where Diana, who had refused to even send me off, ran out.

“Something is messed up.”

Things got twisted.
Siu’s goal was to get close to Diana and help her with her magic field research.
For that, it was good to see her face as often as possible.

“Didn’t you just not look at me and I should have won….”

However, she is the type who hates losing even though she pretends to be Diana.
She secretly gave it up, fearing that she would not come back because her pride would be excessively damaged if she had been thoroughly gutted.
I don’t think she would be satisfied with it and leave.

Besides, if you look closely, isn’t Diana’s 1 point beating Siwoo when she didn’t know anything?
If it had been Odile or Odette, he would have jumped at another fight, saying, ‘This was an unfair match!’
As expected, apprentice witches are like balls that don’t know where they will bounce.
In fact, adult witches are similar, but in the case of apprentice witches, they are almost at the level of a rugby ball….

In Siwoo’s eyes, the difference in skills between the two is already significant.
After she first defeated Diana, she was confident that she would win no matter what Diana did.

After all, this game was a game about who is better at interpreting and constructing magic formulas, and that was an area Siwoo was confident in.
If he took off his eyepatch, the gap would have widened beyond comparison.

Still.

“Because it was kind of fun.”

It felt like I had a lot of fun playing the game.
Siwoo stretched out and diligently headed to the dressing room to prepare for sales.
And maybe.
That sooner or later she might come to her aid.
Siu thought quietly.
