"I want to save as many cards in my hand as possible for the main tournament."

Suu-chan-chan made such a proposal during our strategy meeting and final team practice for tomorrow.

By the way, we have already logged into the game, and Suu-chan is speaking in Ritu's avatar.

Well, both Ritu and Suu-chan-chan are nearly 180 tall in terms of height, so there is not much difference.

Setting that trivia aside, it was Rin-chan who first responded to Suu-chan's suggestion.

"Oh, you want to do that? Can't we force our way through to the main round?"

"We certainly can, but that only if you just want to advance to the final round. If we want to win the final round and go beyond that, I'm a bit hesitant to show all of our hands. Especially considering the first match of the final round, I think it could be fatal if we don't take precautions."

If we don't drag Suu-chan down, we can win the tournament head-to-head easy enough. At least that's what Rin-chan believes, and Suu-chan herself, who seems to take it for granted that she will advance to the final round, probably doesn't doubt her own ability.

Even so, she clearly said her objection, so there must be a clear risk in Suu-chan's mind.

They looked at each other for a bit, and Rin-chan nodded in satisfaction.

"If you can anticipate that much, you've done well. Do you have a concrete strategy in mind?"

"The first thing to do is to keep advancing using me as the main force since I have almost all my cards opened already. Plus, I want to hide Nana's [Magic Bullet]."

"Oyo? we're not going to use it?

"Correct."

I was listening to the conversation between the two of them and got a bit surprised when my name was suddenly thrown into the fray, then I unintentionally asked back.

"The real [Magic Bullet] that can hit its target bypassing a wall by making use of ricochets is a powerful special move in this game that could be called a half cheat. But even so, it's not like you can aim from the outside to the deepest of the corridor, even if they are near a door, or a window, or a large room, right?"

That's true. There are limits to the angle and distance.

[Magic Bullet] is not such an omnipotent technique, as Suu-chan says. Because the Bullet loses a lot of its velocity each time it is bounced, it's not possible to reflect ten or twenty times in a row.

It showed its brilliance when you combined it with normal sniping because the number of attack patterns will increase dramatically, but [Magic Bullet] does not mean that it is a technique that can hit anywhere.

"If you show it a few times, people may think it's just a coincidence, but if you show it many times, they will be wary to the extent that they will know that you can execute it at will. It would be easy for a finalist in a tournament of this level to deal with it. That's why I want to use [Magic Bullet] at a time when it's really showing its most value."

"So you're saying that right now is the right time for it?"

"That's right."

As Suu-chan summarizes [Magic Bullet]is a technique that can hit the target where no ordinary sniping could ever do.

It is difficult to land it when the target decides to hole up at the deepest part of the building or a place between two or three doors.

Using that fact, one can negate this technique's effectiveness simply by going deeper inside.
