《Legend of Magus Academus 1: The Pillars of Unity》09. Comet Shower

"Your sister Freya has confirmed to be a guard," he said to Ulf. "She's pretty good and can take to Brohm."
"Nobody is invincible," Ulf replied before Brohm could say anything. »If our players cannot overcome my sister, then we jumpers have to make sure that their attention is a little distracted.«
"Isn't it a problem for you to fight your sister?" Brohm asked skeptically.
Ulf's eyes sparked fire. "No way. Freya has treated me like a helpless little thing all my life. «
"You are small," replied Luciano with a smile.
“I may be small, but in November I'll show everyone how helpless I really am. If you allow me, Brohm, I'll take a look at my sister when Aramis is training. I have an idea, but to do that I have to see if I can succeed. ”
"What are you going to do?" He asked suspiciously.
'It's better if you don't know. Do not worry. I will not harm the Aramis, they should go down against us with full strength. I don't want to raise false hopes for you now if it doesn't work. Sauer, Florenz and I will have to train together more often. I'm almost sure that this trick will hit like a bomb. Verenus won't lose to Aramis as long as I can prevent it. ”Ulf was totally transformed. When he stepped through the portal to school, he was an anxious, shy boy. But none of these properties could be seen.
“It's okay, but calm down. I believe you will give it your all But please stay fair. ”Ulf was a little surprised. From all the stories he had heard from his relatives, the Verenus were nasty little ruffians. He was proud that the captain of the crossriders had placed his trust in him and asked no further questions. "Who else is on the team?" Brohm asked to take Ulf's attention.

“Nothing has changed with the warriors. They have three new jumpers, Bones, Cortney, and Simmons, but they don't have the same class as our trio, ”he said, grinning at Ulf, Luciano, and Raphael. "Guess who their new runner is?"
Before anyone could say anything, Ulf replied: "Malakin."
Karos nodded and Brohm shook his head in confusion. »It's a strange feeling. A Yannik is playing in Verenus and we have to defeat a Malakin. «
"Aramis also has a Yannik, so it's almost like old times," Ulf replied seriously, that the rest of the team had to laugh.
Since Sven Yannik was in Magus Academus, Verenus had not won against Aramis in Crossride. Even after his preparatory year, they were pretty much unbeatable.
After Ulf had spied on the training, Raphael, Luciano and he also trained on a trick. It was about a warrior directing the comets to the other two as quickly as possible and thus directing three of these missiles to a target within a very short time. Ulf called him Doublecomet. Since he was the fastest of them, he had to rush through the field and collect all the comets.
Now it became clear how well these young players harmonized, because they had learned this technique very quickly. But Ulf got doubts that it would be a cure for his sister in the long run, because the 15-year-old Aramis was even able to intercept the Russel after evading three comets. Here Ulf came up with the idea to reverse the trick. Here two jumpers had to hit three of the projectiles on the third, which hit them forwarded. When selecting the young Yanniksproß had already shown that he was able to take all the floors at the same time. But with this trick they had enormous problems because these comets had an enormous speed after being hit by a jumper and Ulf often failed with the last two because he was too slow.

They were soon able to take care of small scratches themselves through medical treatment. Otherwise he would have ended up in the hospital wing much more often. In the event of broken bones, however, they had to dare to go, so Ulf soon became a regular in the medical department.
“Yannik you are worse than your father. He was often stationed here, but they surpass everything. ”His fellow warriors were beginning to doubt whether this trick could be done.
“Yannik maybe we shouldn't. What if you get hurt more seriously? ”Luciano said worriedly.
"Yes, we mustn't lose you, otherwise we'll never win the crossride cup," Raphael agreed.
»Florence, Sauer please! I know it will work. I just don't have the right timing yet. ”The two 13-year-olds eyed their comrade skeptically and kept trying. Time flew by and on the day before Halloween Ulf had a saving thought. He dodged the last two meteors and then hit them further. With extreme precession they chased through the trick and Ulf actually managed to pass on the remaining comets after evading. Relieved, they went to the field and fell into each other's arms. When they broke loose, they heard someone applaud. They turned and saw their crossrid captain clapping towards them.
“You three are totally crazy. Yannik now I also know why you have been seen in the hospital wing so often. So you didn't want to tell me what you were up to. If you can do this trick in the game, we are unbeatable, «he congratulated the trio. "Surely that was your idea or Yannik?"
“Yes, he was obsessed with this trick. Florence and I quickly managed to get our comets together. However, he then had problems with the last two and was hit. We got the prepress under control quickly, but Yannik was sure that this trick wouldn't be enough and developed it further. «
"How did you get the idea?" Brohm asked.
»Comets are very fast. If they are hit by a jumper, they increase in speed, if they are hit by several jumpers in quick succession, it is very difficult to track their trajectory. I watched my sister training. She was even able to successfully prevent a goal after dodging three comets in a row. I didn't want to leave it to chance. If she manages to get the double comet off, then she should try to successfully defend the goal after a comet shower. ”They decided to keep this trick secret and only use it when they play against Aramis in two weeks. Ulf wanted to try again. They took up their positions, Brohm released the comets and the three jumpers did their feat without any problems.
At dinner the Grand Master got up to say a few words: “Dear students. The masters and I came up with something for tomorrow's Halloween party. ”All conversations stopped. Halloween was one of the highlights of the whole school year and everyone was excited about what was planned.
