The matchup between Rubina's and Goh's was a heated battle worthy of a final match.

<>

Jin heard the announcement and guessed that the host and commentator did not know about it.

(If the inhabitants of Onogoro Island didn't know either, where did they get their education in the ...... ah, <>?)

Putting aside his speculations about Goh's origins, Jin decided to focus on the final game unfolding before his eyes.

The final match was unfolding before Jin's eyes.

Although the was superior to the in terms of speed and maneuverability, it also had a disadvantage.

However, it has a disadvantage: its light weight makes it less stable.

Especially in the windy air, it took about 10% extra time to adjust the sight.

This 10% loss is significant in an extreme battle.

As a result, <> and <> were almost evenly matched in the battle.

The <> is flying in a meandering pattern, since the <> has the advantage in straight flight due to its superior speed.

<<> wants to use its speed to close in on , but keeps moving in small increments and does not allow <> to set its sights on it.

was also unable to take advantage of his speed, as he was afraid of being shot if he moved too fast and got in front of <.

The result was an evenly matched tangle.

However, both Rubina and Goh knew that they would never get anywhere at this point, and they wanted to somehow change the deadlock.

However, both sides had already exhausted their options, and there was no decisive move to be made.

In such a situation, it is human nature to want to make some extra move, even though you know that the more impatient you are, the more likely you are to lose.

What would you do in such a situation?

"Well, it's easy ...... to say, but difficult to do."

For example?

"You have to feint before you do it,...... but they're golems."

It might work against a human, but it probably won't make sense against a golem, Jin said.

"Technology (technique) for technology (technology). That's a phrase from a book I read a long time ago. ......?　Was it technology (technique) for technology (technique)?"

"In Jin's case, I'm sure it's for sure."

"Well, you know, ......"

Jin laughed when Erza told him that he only had an image of laying waste to his opponents with overwhelming hardware.

"Battles are essentially about <>, you know. Whether it's against the <> or the <>."

"......, I understand."

"But this is a <>. It's a place for friendly competition and aiming for a higher level.

Jin laughed and said that he was a little dazzled by them.

Erza looked a little sad with her smile and gently held Jin's hand.

Elsa gently held Jin's hand.

"In this situation, we have to win no matter what!

Rubina is calmly analyzing the situation.

The two planes are now on intersecting trajectories, close to .

It is said to be the maneuver that requires the most skill of the pilot and understanding of the aircraft's characteristics, and the difference in skill is clearly visible ......, but the two aircraft are evenly matched.

"......They are slightly more responsive than the other one,......."

The lighter plane seemed to give the <> more room to maneuver, Rubina judged.

"But I have an idea."

The two planes climbed up, checking each other.

Their altitude is now over 4,000 meters.

"Last time we were too high and failed, but this time we're different.

The two planes plunge into the cloud.

The cloud was made of water droplets, so the two planes were soaked through.

However, flying at a speed of over 700 km/h, they would soon dry out.

The two planes continue to gain altitude.

To be precise, the <> is luring the <> into the sky.

The altitude is over 5,000 meters and approaching 6,000 meters.

"And I've got a heater in my windshield!"

The Golem's visual sensors are also sophisticated. Even if there was frost on the windshield, it should be able to cope with it.

But then again, so did .

Anyone who knows the final of the last competition knows the precautions that must be taken at high altitude.

Gough was no exception.

Altitudes above 7,000 meters and 8,000 meters.

In mountaineering, this is known as the .

The atmospheric pressure is one-third that of the ground (even here in Arus), and the oxygen level is one-third that of the air.

And there is one more thing.

Strong winds.

The general circulation of the atmosphere, the jet stream, will have an effect on the environment.

And that was exactly what Rubina wanted.

The lightness of the plane.

This is the biggest disadvantage of the Maystrom.

The weight of the aircraft divided by the wing area is called the wing loading, and while it is easy to float when the wing loading is small, it is also easy to be agitated by the wind.

In fact, <> was forced to use a percentage of its potential to cope with strong winds.

"Now!　Start the counterattack!"

Rubina instructed, and the piloted golem obeyed.

The <> attacks >, which has clearly slowed down ......, but it is not a simple matter.

The <> turns around and starts to descend.

The , which is behind it, follows suit and begins its descent.

It is a vertical descent.

Since they are being pulled by gravity, the speed of their descent is only increasing.

"Lighter means weaker. ...... let's see which one of us will be the first to make a sound!

He guessed that the <> would be less strong because it was made lighter.

And he was right.

However, even the <>, which had released its <> twice, had accumulated a fair amount of damage.

The speed has exceeded 1,000 kilometers per hour. Subsonic speed.

Both planes were creaking at speeds beyond what was assumed when they were designed.

It was thought that a sudden maneuver at this speed would probably cause the aircraft to break up in mid-air.

Therefore, both planes were unable to take any careless actions.

The outcome of the competition remains to be seen. .......
