[X] Declare your spell card, "Logos Sign,「Calculated Risk」"
---

The cloaked figure points her finger straight between his eyes. A long green dart forms at her fingertip. It glows with an eerie and strangely familiar energy. If this hits him, he is dead for sure.

"Please don't hate me," she whispers.

With only a few seconds left, Grimnír takes a gamble. He draws a spell card from his robes and carefully mutters the incantation.

"Logos Sign,「Calculated Risk」"

Suddenly, everything becomes clear in his mind. As if time is slowing down, he is able to observe and analyze every detail of the situation within a single moment. But first, he needs to learn more about his opponent. Patiently, he recalls the stranger's spell card attack on Meiling. Green luminescence... impact radius... cast delay... spiritual field... electrical interference...

The spell's destructive potential is approximately seventeen times more powerful than Marisa's "Master Spark". By generating a small anti-magic field, Meiling managed to reduce its effect greatly, but it still caused a lot of damage. The gatekeeper must be quite powerful to even survive the attack, though she most certainly won't be getting up any time soon.

Grimnír forces himself up slowly as he examines the glowing projectile at the stranger's fingertip. Destructive potential of the dart is several times weaker, but it is enough to pierce even his most powerful barrier. Estimated velocity on release is near the speed of sound. There is no way he can dodge or block this attack with his current abilities.

"Damn it," he tells himself.

But there is something strange. The energy bolt has already been fully charged one and a half seconds ago. The stranger simply hasn't fired yet. Is she hesitating?

"Good bye, Grey Wizard."

He closes his eyes to brace for the impact. Her stance is already burned in memory. By the direction and angle of the dart, he can predict its trajectory. It has 99.89% chance of hitting exactly three inches to the right of his head. Wait... it is going to miss?

Then, she fires the projectile. The ground tremors at the impact. Grimnír slowly opens his eyes to verify his calculation. To his right, he can see a deep crater on the ground. No time to think. He immediately takes this chance to fly into the air. After increasing the distance between them by a comfortable amount, he turns back at the stranger.

"I... missed?" says the cloaked figure.

As she turns around to face him, the wind blows the hood off her face. He recognizes the girl immediately.

"W-wriggle?" mumbles Grimnír.

"..."

Green hair and a cute pair of antennae on her head, she looks exactly like the firefly youkai he knows. But her clothes seem a little bit different. Several of the designs on them seem to be made up of magical runes and symbols. And as he looks closer, her eyes have a strange and cold determination in them. He never thought he would see that kind of face on this girl.

"I don't know," says Wriggle. "I don't know how this is supposed to help..."

"What are you doing?" he cries. "Why are you attacking your friends?"

"But I trust my Master," she whispers. "This is my duty... as a magician."

She raises her hand toward him, and as she mutters an incantation, hundreds of glowing green orbs start forming around her. Each of them have quite a bit of power - if even one hits him he is dead. And from their angle and position, the projectiles have a... 99.9972% chance to hit him.

"Oh shit."

The spell card is still in effect.
