The darkness of the starless night and gloomy presence of the ruined kingdom took hold of most of the contestants, who's bodies shrilled as they shivered and sweat. The fact that their own and their summons' powers were restricted made them more nervous, as they mostly relied on offensive power.

The old curses plaguing the grounds also messed with their heads. As magic cannot be casted without logic and formula creation, their destabilized minds further reduced their overall ability. Magic and Science has always been interconnected in Libra.

Since elementary school, it's this fact that's been imprinted on the books, before beginning to study the Arts of Magical Science. For example, if you are proficient in Chemistry, then you are likely to have a good strike in Elemental Magic or Alchemy. There are many mages that study here who's knowledge exceed those of Earth. After all, this world was created by the Librarian, who was the aspect of wisdom and one who holds truth. As likely pertaining to this truth, an individual must show the product of their minds, on how their theories condemned logic and their conclusions of every theory becoming abstract and manifested, representing balance of belief and truth.

Summoners. Although their expertise may rely on science in some ways, they are mostly inclined to philosophy and theoretical representation. The summons that they cast are ideas, a representation of something. The summons being deemed real and lurking in their world are easy for them to tame. Summoners need a proper cognitive wavelength together with their summon, as such the strong belief of the existence of their summon also makes them stronger.

However, here comes a thought, Summoners can easily cast and tame animals or beasts from their magic, since those things have been existing throughout their lives. But what about those who've come from other planes of existence? Perhaps a myth? Or a folktale, or one revered as a divine being?

Their philosophy and psyche holds them to create some sort of truth, that in some lies, some of those may actually be truth. This is where the summoner's power come into play. And now, that their minds are muddled with panic and uncertainty, as well as further being weakened by the arena, their beliefs were being shaken.

The connections to their summons became hazy or rigid, with some of them trying to maintain their calm and hold onto their principles.

'This is turning ridiculous...', I thought as I gazed at Class D. I had read some files about the connection of the summoner's power with the double PP, but I had realized that, in most cases, the stronger your psychological sense, philosophy and belief is, the stronger your summon becomes.

But here is the thing... Most powerful summoners are real crazy; the Prince, the pink haired girl, Mely... Does that mean... That you are also stronger the more extreme and determined you are to your beliefs?

Chills went up my spine... Maybe these are the reasons on why yanderes are powerful because they act in their own manners and beliefs without care...

Sigh...

I decided to shelve this discovery of mine regarding this world. Anyway, it could work out when I need to 'act: by not using magic. After all, the live stream is also going livelier. .

[London bridge is falling down~!]

[Ahhh, now this is gonna be some intense shit...]

[I shall hold on to my doritos as I watch.]

[Damn these doritos ads...]

[Is it just me or people down below acting... A bit crazy?]

[Above, you see the message a while ago that this place messes their psych.]
