After a 30-minute break, it's 3:00 PM.

>

The announcement was made and the final game began.

<<!　Her plane is a delta wing aircraft, the ! >>

The audience gave a big round of applause for Rubina.

<! >>

Another round of applause.

A high level battle worthy of the finals was expected.

<>

The engines of the two planes started and the run began.

"Brother Jin, if we attach the ray gun backward and fire it now, can't we win?"

Erza presented her idea, but Jin shook his head.

"Sure we could win, ...... but I don't think we'd be happy to win that way."

"...... sure."

"Winning is the goal, but how to win is also important."

I understand. ...... You want to win with all your skill, but you won't be happy if you win with just an idea?"

"That's what I mean. I guess the line between the two differs somewhat from person to person.

"Well, what about attaching a gun to the back and shooting when someone takes your back in a dogfight?"

That's the hard part.

What about you, Jin?

"Me?　I'd use ...... it as a threat.

Threat?

"Threat?" "Yeah. If they know we have guns in the back, they'll be hesitant to take our backs, which gives us a tactical advantage.

Yeah, that's what I meant.

Well, if we're competing against each other under the same conditions, then no.

"I see."

As the conversation between Jin and Erza shows, it is very difficult to draw a line as to what is acceptable as a victory by exploiting a hole in the rules.

This is not a game of "do or be done". It is a competition of skills. .......

The two planes were flying at the same speed and in the same direction.

This requires extraordinary skill and technique.

And it was Goh's that was doing it.

"Brother Jin, what does this mean?

"Well, I don't know either, but since he's doing it for a target, he may be trying to make ...... Rubina impatient."

"......Are you saying that he's waiting for Rubina to do something because he can't stand the situation anymore?"

"I think so."

In this case, the one who leaves first is more likely to be caught in the rear.

<.

But it is the golem that is controlling the boat, not Rubina.

Erza said, "But it's the golem, not Rubina, that's in control.

"That's true, but he can give orders from the director's seat."

"Sure, maybe."

Jin felt that if Goh had been able to see through Rubina's personality to come up with such a plan, it would have been an amazingly insightful move.

But Rubina, too, was a good woman.

However, Rubina is not exactly the title of .

"If we leave ...... here, we'll be right where they want us to be ......."

I was able to assess the situation objectively. This is a great growth.

And her plane and golem also have extraordinary functions.

"Release the limiter for 5 seconds!　Get out of this situation with full power!"

She has decided to play her best trump card right here.

The command was given to exert power at the limit of hull strength and engine strength.

In response, the piloted Golem speeded up as if it had been bounced while ascending at an angle.

Its speed was 1.4 times faster than before.

Even could not keep up with it.

But only for five seconds.

The strength of the aircraft could not hold out much longer than that.

The structure of the aircraft was not designed to overcome the sound barrier. If they tried too hard, they would break up in mid-air.

Of course, if the strength of the fuselage were increased, it would be possible to reach the speed of sound, but this would increase the weight of the fuselage and sacrifice acceleration and maneuverability.

However, in those five seconds, the succeeded in opening a distance of about 700 meters from the .

The range of the ray gun is 500 meters, which is a sufficient distance.

"Oh, Rubina. You still have a hidden move?

Jin was impressed by this move.

The audience also applauded.

"But brother Jin, that was a last resort, and the fact that you had to use it is ......"

"Oh, Rubina, you're in pain."

Jin and Erza looked at the screen.

An announcement echoes through the stadium.

They are facing each other at about 1000 meters above the ground.

Now it is a race to see who can get the better position.

The two planes try to get behind the other in a circle with a radius of about 300 meters.

<>

Just when it looked as if the standoff would continue....

>

The number 3 team, <>, has made a horizontal loop with a radius of about 2/3 of the previous one.

* * *

"That's close to ...... horizontal somersaulting. That's what a light aircraft can do."

It was a sharp turn with a bank of about 70 degrees. It was a big maneuver that almost caused a stall.

It was a gamble even for <.

It looked as if had taken the lead from behind and the game was over, but Rubina had one more trick hidden in her bag of tricks.

"Oh, you can still accelerate?

This is the same <> that she used to break out of parallel flight.

It accelerates the speed to 1.3 times the speed of the Nile V for two seconds.

A shortcut of two thirds and 1.3 times the speed.

The result was ...... even.

Number 2 < and Number 3 continued the dogfight at a distance of 500 meters, just within the range of the ray gun. The two were just 500 meters away from each other, which was just within the range of the ray guns.
