“She should hurry up… ”

“Uu… Aaaa…”

Skolla looked at Charlotte, whose complexion had suddenly worsened, and checked the time flowing from the sky.

Even in a safe zone, the time for protection is limited.

Moreover, considering that no one is attacking not because of the safe zone but because the tournament has not truly begun yet and a grace period is granted…

If Aesha does not arrive before then… Unless there are separate means of contact, they may not be able to meet until the tournament ends.

“Are you okay, Charlotte?”

“Huuu…”

“Seems like you aren’t.”

As time went by, Charlotte’s condition was deteriorating.

According to the genius’s own diagnosis, this was a symptom that appeared only in extreme introverts.

People who consume an enormous amount of stamina just by being outside, even without conversing with others.

“I’m pretty sure it wasn’t this bad last time…”

But when they met previously for the object request, while she did look unwell, it wasn’t to this extreme extent.

And that incident occurred right after Aesha left this place.

“Is it dependence?”

Whether Charlotte was aware of it or not, it seemed she had a certain obsession with Aesha.

Not a feeling of love or anything, but a sense of comfort when they were together… Yes, thinking of her like a doll would be correct.

But the doll that would give Charlotte stability was not here.

And at least for Skolla, the prize of this tournament was enough to stimulate his desire to win.

There are many geniuses in the world, but the opportunities to witness the great narratives they have recorded are not very large.

Therefore, to prepare for the possibility that Aesha might not return, he forced Charlotte up.

“Come on, you are Charlotte, right? Can you stand up by yourself?”

“…Yes…”

“If that’s not possible, you can lean on me.”

“I-I’m fine…”

Then the magic circle began to shine on the ground, lifting her body into the air at some point.

‘…Oh.’

This was quite a surprising sight for Skolla.

For him, what truly mattered was machinery and engineering, but he possessed enough knowledge to use magic when necessary.

However, the fact that he didn’t even realize Charlotte was casting magic was quite impressive.

Even originally, one should continuously infuse mana to lift their body into the air, but Charlotte quickly engraved the magic circle all over her clothes to minimize the consumption required.

“I think I understand why Aesha chose you.”

“Then… should I prepare some food…?”

“Yes. Since the space in the pocket dimension isn’t very large, just high-calorie items…”

“Oh, and a blanket.”

But at that moment, he noticed Charlotte’s gaze falling on the pile of blankets and quilts stacked within the safe zone.

What followed was an indescribable sense of anxiety.

“No, that’s not allowed. We don’t have much space. Moreover, we need to find the residence we will be staying at…”

“Ah…”

With the eyes of a puppy caught in the rain, Charlotte looked at Skolla, but unfortunately, her pocket dimension wasn’t large enough to carry all the items.

If only they had a bit more time, they could have made more space, but due to Aesha putting a bottle of alcohol in the pocket dimension, there wasn’t enough room.

“…Is it okay to remove the alcohol?”

Logically thinking, getting rid of alcohol would be the right thing to do.

And it would be better to pack essential items.

“That… is not allowed…”

“Why not?”

“…Um, because it looked like you needed it…”

“………”

However, whether Charlotte realized that thought, she quickly halted her actions.

“Oh… I can do without it.”

“Haa…”

Although her eyes looked incredibly sad, her trembling body held the resolve that she could endure it.

He simply hoped that Aesha would return as soon as possible and took a small screw out of his pocket dimension, placing it in his mouth.

“What is that…?”

“Oh, it makes me feel a bit more at ease when I bite down on it. Would you like to try?”

“No…”

It was surely not good for dental health, but he repeatedly chewed the screw, thinking that it was like consuming iron.

“I’m here!!!”

“Finally, you have arrived.”

“I’m sorry. I got held up with a scoring bomb.”

“Wooo…”

“Oh! It’s not Charlotte’s fault! It was just good luck for us. Our strategy was to endure…”

Skolla removed the screw from his mouth and threw it over the bushes, asking.

“So, where should we go now, Aesha?”

“I have a designated place. Just follow me!”

“Oh, before that… it seems Charlotte needs a blanket, but our pocket dimension might be too small for it. Can we remove the alcohol?”

“Huh? Space?”

“My pocket dimension is still temporary… It might be lacking.”

However, Aesha seemed puzzled by that response.

“You really don’t need a pocket dimension.”

“…Huh?”

“I thought Charlotte would take care of everything?”

“What do you mean…”

When Skolla looked towards Charlotte, she nodded slightly and blinked.

Well, to think that someone would have the same idea as him is not as easy as he thought, so why did he think that way?

“I thought… it wouldn’t be okay to bring a lot of blankets…”

“There’s no such rule! At least within the limits of our residence, I think we can take everything? Though we should be careful not to bring anything too noticeable…”

“Oh.”

Then Charlotte, whose complexion brightened, activated a magic circle that she had drawn without him noticing.

A floor glowing in white and blue.

Immediately, some of the blankets stacked like mountains and various food items began to float and move.

Anyways, it would be so much that it would look like just the tip of the iceberg, so there would be no way that others could use it.

Of course, there would definitely be participants who would try to set fire to or intentionally damage items.

However, this was a tournament broadcast live to the entire world, so such actions could tarnish not only their honor but also their future paths.

Even the professors would have prepared enough quantities anticipating such actions.

“…Wow.”

Skolla admired the power of that magic.

Though her appearance and spirit were not great, her ability was considerably… no, incredibly useful.

Although the casting speed was slow, it possessed enough power and endurance to surpass that.

Perhaps he didn’t even have to be here.

“Am I allowed to be here?”

“Of course, for the next part, Skolla has to do everything!”

“Then I’m relieved, but…”

Initially, while other participants were focused on Charlotte’s appearance moving items, they quickly immersed themselves in their tasks and hurriedly exited the safe zone.

And with quick steps, they headed toward the residence that Aesha had scouted.

***

The optimal residence that had been marked after playing several games.

A winding alley where it would be difficult to find unless one had a scout-type trait.

There was one building, and beneath that building was a vast underground space.

“What do you think? How about here?”

“How on earth did you find a place like this…?”

“Um… just well.”

Every map of the tournament has places like this where one can set up a huge forward base.

It surely seems to be meant to allow for underground battles, not just surface fights.

Even if other teams come here, it doesn’t matter as the entrance will be disguised and blocked.

Right now, Skolla seemed to be questioning whether this was truly what he needed, but it was in this place that his potential would be revealed.

“Skolla, then show me all your potential here!”

“…Understood. I’ll make sure you don’t regret it.”

Skolla’s characteristics were simple.

[Midas’s Touch(A)], [Enhancement(S)], [Fine Tuning(B)]

The enhancement was about reinforcing items widely known in-game.

And Midas’s Touch held a similar ability to the one inspired by an ancient myth.

“First, I think I need to try this.”

Reaching into the pocket dimension, a lump of clay emerged.

And as he touched a steel pipe with his opposite hand, the part he touched caved in and became soft like clay.

The ability to turn what he touched and other objects within roughly a 10CM radius into the same material.

That was Midas’s Touch.

However, the fact that this ability was only rated A despite its performance was because its maximum duration lasted only about a week.

Perhaps it would grow further, but since Skolla wasn’t a martial artist, his wrist would definitely get cut off before he could even press it against anything.

“I have a lot of work cut out for me.”

However, even with such an ability, if he brought other tools here, he wouldn’t create a masterpiece that could win against the Yoon Si-woo party.

At best, it would probably just be a hefty giant sword club.

Moreover, if it were that large, even he might not be able to lift it after raising his stats.

This is where Skolla’s other ability, [Fine Tuning], would shine.

An incredibly challenging ability that allows adjusting the spacing of each individual atom and electron.

An innovative capability that lets one visualize all wires, electric circuits, and codes in their head and directly transplant them.

Even if one had the ability, if they lacked knowledge related to it, they wouldn’t be able to use it at all.

It was a task that only the most brilliant of geniuses, someone who had truly reached the level of divinity like Skolla, could accomplish.

“Charlotte, I think I’m going to need your help with this part.”

If Charlotte’s magic were included in that machine, the likelihood of defeating Yoon Si-woo would surely increase.

[All time has ended.]
[The tournament has begun!]

And finally, the true tournament had started.

“Uh… what part should I…?”

“Reinforcement magic on this part…”

They both seemed busy.

I guess I should do what I have to do.
