After a day has passed, information about all matches will be posted on the bulletin board.
For players, entertainment is something to share.
The most well-taken footage from each match was posted everywhere, albeit unofficially.
"My opponent is a 'copycat'... I'm out of luck, I'm sure I'll lose."
The man was also looking for his next opponent after watching the video on the bulletin board.
It is unknown whether it is perfect or not, but it copies the opponent's ability ── "Imitator".
Such nicknames were given to him by the players who watched the game.
He finds out that his opponent is the man, and he lets out his resigned breath again and again.
"Well, it doesn't seem like there are any reports of damage, and it's a copy, not a robbery or a robbery. Then it's fine. Anyway, it's a bad skill with only disadvantages."
A man doesn't feel fear or fear when he tries to know the power of the "imitator".
Because he is sure that even if the opponent uses his power, he cannot use it better than he does.
"It's not like he's a summoner specializing in support, and he has space-time magic, which is super cheap, so if you think he's specializing in magic, then chunin...no, this guy is weird. Is it a unique skill of … Anyway, it's like a cheat player."
The man walks up to the stage while laughing at the improbable prediction.
≪Come on, let's keep going. Next is the second semi-final match ─ Nullifies all physical attacks, magic works, but countermeasures are perfect ── [Death Magic] [Death]!
"On the other hand... the notation has changed again. The thief of [Thought Chant]... it's already troublesome, and the nickname 'Imitator'!" ≫
The live commentary reads out the information about you and the other person... it turns out that your occupation has been re-registered.
The audience was also very excited, and they were examining how they would fight this time.
(I changed jobs in one day, and changed for entertainment, or did I really hit the limit...Is it a pattern that there are too many slots?)
"I stare at the other person while formulating a hypothesis."
His aloof figure didn't make you feel any tension, and gave the opponent some confusion.
Even though he feels uncomfortable with the strangely tingling sensation on his skin, he calls out and gathers information.
"Hey, what were you doing last time?"
"... what do you mean?"
"Last game, it was surrounded by dark magic."
"... a little experiment. I finished the first fight with one blow, so I just couldn't try it."
(The first round is a physical job man, the second round is a magic job woman, but...there are also differences in how to defeat them. In the first round, if you use your own subordinates, in the second round, if you make the opponent surrender But did you look into it? (Whatever the reason, it's not just because you hid it)
That's what the man thought of him.
I wondered if all of them had a meaning and were trying to achieve some sort of purpose.
What he actually thinks...that's also only for him to know.
"Heh... well, I'm begging you."
"Oh, nice to meet you."
Without shaking hands with each other, they turned around and moved away from the center.
Judging from the footage so far, the opponent is an all-rounder who can fight both in close quarters and long range.
Thinking that I could do both at the same time, I decided to take the long-range fight that was advantageous to me.
``Are you both ready? "Then, the second semi-final match ── let's begin!!"
"'Dead Ghost'.... 'Black Fog Dark Mist'"
After activating the ability to nullify physical attacks, the man spreads a fog on the stage that reduces the power of light attributes.
"Ghost Transformation", one of the ghost magic, originally had many disadvantages, but was compensated for by mitigating the risk with the effect of [Ghost].
Physical attacks will no longer work, and damage can only be dealt with magic or magic-filled attacks.
"It's a skill that really brings you closer to the dead.
Its only weakness is light attribute attacks, and any other attribute greatly reduces damage.
In order to make up for it, the man came up with a magic called "black fog" that belongs to the dark magic.
"It's used because it weakens the light attribute while maintaining the fog."
── Normally, that would have been the winning pattern.
≪Now that the fog of darkness has enveloped the stage, there is no way for an imitator to do anything! A huge pillar of light was born on the stage! ≫
On the other hand, what the imitator activated was the ── glittering magic "Blink Pillar".
It takes some time to activate after chanting, but it is a highly difficult magic that continuously inflicts intense damage within the specified range.
The pillar of light stretches high into the sky, piercing even the clouds floating in the sky.
The man sees the fog of darkness dissipating around the shining pillars, and hurriedly cancels the "ghost transformation" and escapes from the magic's effective range.
──At that time, a part of his body was grazed.
"...Thirty percent of this alone!?
I screamed at my HP bar, which had decreased in an instant.
He sensed something abnormal, but was surprised to find that it was beyond his own assumptions.
Man, when something within his sphere of thought suddenly occurs, his thinking is temporarily halted.
"Even so, the man immediately took action."
Because if he didn't do anything, he was sure to lose.
"...■■■■"Recall Lesser Carcass""
What he chanted was the spirit magic "Recall Lesser Carcass".
Until now, it was a magic that summoned the lower-ranked undead with bodies that they had created themselves.
Most of the corpses are rabbits and demi-goblins, but there are also some humanoid corpses.
This was the result of a PK that aimed at him, and was magically transformed into an undead existence separate from himself.
(With this much, I should be able to buy a little more time. During this time, I could summon an intermediate level...Isn't that a lie!?)
While watching the pillar of light disappear, the man started to formulate a new plan.
However, another phenomenon occurs.
Circles were drawn in a mysterious color around the undead.
The warm light gently envelops the undead inside ─ ─ and disappears with a ferocious force.
≪Recovery magic "wide area recovery area heal"! "Reduce all undead's HP to 0 with just one shot!?" Theoretically it's possible, but be warned, it's hard to level undead like this! ≫
(Sounds like a terrible thing to say... I just used a lot of magic power to heal the space. Well, it's just a little correction.)
I don't know that the scale of the attack was slightly different from what I imagined.
Because all he did was ── only four actions.
· Parallelization of thought chants
・Prepare recovery magic "wide area recovery"
・ Perform a chant with parallel thought chants
・ Simultaneously activate all without chant
Just doing these things completed recovery magic on that scale.
A copycat who knew that the undead would receive damage from recovery magic.
Just in case, just in case, he restored it by parallelizing it to the maximum number he could do... the result was an undead that disappeared with a furious momentum.
"…Summoning the undead is useless.
"Are you going to give me a chance to surrender?"
"At first it was a mistake, after that I've been careful. So what do you do?"
A declaration of surrender given to a man.
"Do you struggle and challenge yourself or give up and finish?"
──But the man's answer was decided without thinking.
"I ask you to surrender"

≪Winner, thief! "With this, the pairings for tomorrow's final match have been decided!" "[Convict] VS "Imitator", who will win!?≫
I heard an announcement, and when I recognized it in my head... I shouted...
"Who's the 'imitator'! I'll pay what I have to pay and learn!"
"Is that the part that's bothering you!?"
But other than that, I don't feel dissatisfied with the given nickname.
"To give a nickname to a special effect… the operation is also kind and the service is perfect."
When I logged in, there was a log stating that I had obtained a nickname, but when I appraised the nickname itself, the effect was posted.
The normal effect is that the skills you've seen or learned are more likely to appear on the list, but as a secondary effect, the skill imitation rate seems to increase.
"Thanks to you, the imitation was successful just by looking at it."
"'Occupation: [Dead Spirit]' and [Death Magic]... It looks like a race, but it's a profession."
"When I looked it up, it seems that it's a job only for those who have an aptitude for ghosts."
In terms of race, they are the same as the race they set themselves, but they seem to inherit the nature of a ghost as a characteristic.
As for the magic, it was like dark magic specializing in soul-related powers...as for the content, it was all related to death.
"Imitation was not only possible with skills, but also with occupations.
"I don't know if it's from this time, but from now on I'll be able to imitate it forever."
If I were to use a real-life analogy, it would be like being able to get a job just by looking at the TV and saying "I was longing for you"... Wow, what an image of sneering at everyone in the Ice Age.
"See you tomorrow... Will it take time to call even a high-ranking person?"
"It seems that the final will be held tomorrow."
"Aside from the occupation, magic can be confirmed immediately... Let's do a little more leveling."
"What kind of skills does the final opponent have?"
