Animation Producer in a Fantasy World

It’s often said that men are no different as adults than they were as children.

The hidden meaning of this saying is not the negative implication that men don’t mature whether they’re young or grown up, but.

It means that even after becoming adults, men’s points of enthusiasm don’t change much from when they were young.

And there’s a field that almost all men show interest and curiosity in, regardless of age or inclination.

VS play.

A game that stimulates the primal human desire to determine who is stronger and who is weaker between two people.

In fact, if you look at YouTube, don’t videos like “Who would win if Saitama and Kakarot fought?” easily surpass millions of views?

Even while knowing well that it’s just the personal delusion of the person who made the video, people don’t hesitate to click on that video.

Because VS play had something that instinctively made men’s hearts race.

And this applied not only to 21st century Earth but also to the fantasy world.

No, in some sense, the obsession with VS play could be said to be much stronger in the fantasy world than on Earth.

Because on Earth, the upper limit of human strength is at most that of a martial arts athlete, so the outcome of a match could be overturned by numerous variables, but.

In the fantasy world, unrealistic powers like aura and magic actually existed.

And humans who have trained their aura or magic to the extreme become superhumans who exert power like natural disasters.

However, surprisingly, cases of superhumans clashing with each other were extremely rare in the history of the continent.

Because even superhumans knew well.

The fact that if beings who have transcended the realm of humans clash, both might suffer fatal injuries or even die.

But curiosity about which of the heroes or superhumans who left their names in history was the strongest always stimulated people’s curiosity, and.

For that very reason, the animation “Sky of Destiny” captivated viewers’ hearts in an instant as soon as it aired.

Because this animation had a fantastic setting where heroes who left their names in history come back to life in modern times and compare their strengths.

A Galdr Cup discussing which of the heroes who existed in different eras was the strongest?

How can you resist this?

And Ragna, who produced “Sky of Destiny”, as if responding to such expectations of people, continued to deliver shocking developments one after another.

First, in episode 1, he showed the shocking development of the protagonist Yuri being killed by the lancer Chris.

In episode 2, there was a chase between Yuri, who barely survived, and Chris, who noticed his survival and came to kill him again, and.

In episode 3, he even showed an incredibly intense battle scene between the girl in knight’s attire who appeared at the end of the PV making everyone cheer, and Chris.

And, at the end of that.

“A spear with self-awareness that moves on its own, possessing the authority that once shot, it never misses. I’ve heard stories about such a spear before.”

“…The spear Arad held by the God of Light. Then your identity was the Son of the Sky of Silgea?”

“And you survived being hit in the heart by that. Ha, I see. So you weren’t just some nobody.”

Chris growls in a voice full of killing intent as if about to thrust his spear at the girl at any moment.

Seeing that, viewers held some expectation that Chris and the girl would continue fighting until one of them was finished, but.

“I’ll retreat here for today. If we meet next time, I’ll definitely pierce your heart.”

Chris retreated first, ending the fight between them.

Naturally, viewers couldn’t help but feel somewhat deflated seeing that.

“No, what is this? Isn’t it normal to fight until one side dies when your identity has been exposed?”

“Shouldn’t he at least find out the identity of that girl for it to be worth it? I guess the Federation’s hero was somewhat cowardly.”

While some people mocked Chris’s actions as cowardly like that, there were also plenty of counterarguments.

“How stupid. The Full Moon Ritual is more like a survival format, not a tournament. In other words, you don’t necessarily need to defeat the enemy in front of you yourself.”

“That’s right. Besides, there might be eyes watching around, so why risk exposing more of yourself by continuing to fight unnecessarily?”

Well, actually, even those calling Chris’s actions cowardly weren’t saying that because they really didn’t know that fact.

It’s just that the battle scene between Chris and the girl had indulged their eyes and ears so much that they were throwing a kind of tantrum wanting to see such scenes a little more.

“Damn, since they’ve been running non-stop from episode 1 to 3, it’s clear there will be a brief resting part for a while.”

“Even during ‘Machine God Chronicles’, when there was a battle between Machine Gods and External Gods, there would be one or two episodes of peaceful daily life scenes, so that’s unavoidable.”

“Well, let’s think positively. If there are too many battle scenes, sometimes the viewers get tired.”

Viewers said that while smacking their lips as if somewhat regretful.

They had already seen many works made by Ragna through works like “Machine God Chronicles” and “Book of Life and Death”, and.

Because of that, they knew what Ragna’s directing style was like, so they could roughly guess what the development of the next episode would be like.

But.

In a good sense, their predictions were off the mark.

Because, in episode 4 aired the next day.

“Hello, it’s been a while. Big brother.”

The silver-haired girl who introduced herself as ‘Ecclesia’ smiled at Yuri and his classmate ‘Sein’ who had formed a temporary alliance with him, and then.

“Well then, Achaemenes. Destroy them all.”

“■■■■■-!”

She nonchalantly reveals the name of the hero she commands and then orders them to ‘kill’ those people.

And as soon as he saw the hero commanded by the silver-haired girl, Yuri felt as if all his senses were freezing.

It’s on a different level.

That is a being of a different dimension from ordinary heroes.

Not a being that can be fought and defeated, but a being like a natural disaster that must be avoided and fled from.

And Yuri’s intuition was not wrong.

Kwaaang-!

Just by the giant taking a step, cracks form on the ground, and every time he swings his sword, the atmosphere itself shakes.

The girl and the archer commanded by Sein try to somehow cross swords to counter the giant, but.

Crack-!

“…Ah.”

Their resistance doesn’t even buy time.

No, to be more precise, the attacks performed by the girl don’t properly work on that giant.

A strange feeling as if fate itself is interfering with her attacks.

But even so, the girl was somehow managing to establish a battle with the giant through transcendent swordsmanship and combat sense.

And as if mocking such resistance from the girl, Ecclesia burst into laughter and opened her mouth.

“It’s futile. If nothing else, there’s no way you can win here.”

“…What?”

“You should know if you’ve seen the myth? The fact that he never lost even once in his lifetime. Therefore, the ability he possesses when summoned here is-”

“The ability to definitely win thirteen times in all battles.”

“…!”

Everyone standing there was shocked by Ecclesia’s nonchalant words.

And the viewers watching this were also shocked in turn.

“No, what… That’s completely cheating!”

“I’ve read fairy tale books featuring Achaemenes too… Did he have such an ability?”

People unconsciously looked at Professor Hermione, who could be said to be the most knowledgeable being here, and.

Professor Hermione slowly nodded her head and opened her mouth.

“…No, I have heard of it. According to myth, there was a tradition that Achaemenes received a curse to never be defeated by receiving God’s blessing. I think Ragna the director gave him such an ability by referring to that tradition.”

“I see. As expected, Director Ragna produced the animation while being faithful to the myth…”

People who were bursting with admiration for Ragna for producing anime without deviating from historical accuracy even in small details, soon looked at the screen with somewhat bewildered expressions.

“But how do you beat something like that? That’s absolutely unbeatable.”

“Ecclesia, was it? I can understand why that child boldly revealed the hero’s true name and ability.”

“There are a total of seven heroes summoned to the Full Moon Ritual, right? Then if you just fight one-on-one seven times, that guy would just win?”

“Well, there might be a hero among the other heroes participating in this ritual who has the ability to break that?”

“What nonsense… How do you counter an ability that unconditionally wins?”

People who were having various conversations while watching television like that, suddenly seemed to remember something and tilted their heads looking at the bloodied girl.

“But… that girl is also quite amazing. Isn’t this already the third time she’s fighting today? And yet she’s persistently hanging on to Achaemenes while fighting three times in a row.”

“Seeing how she fought equally or even better than Chris, she must be a hero who left her name in history.”

“But… Was there a girl who looked like that among the female knights in history? I’m not sure.”

“Come to think of it, there was a female knight named Iseria about a hundred years ago, could her identity be that?”

While people gathered at the tavern were having various conversations about what the identity of that girl might be.

“…Could the identity of that woman be the Knight King?”

“Hm?”

A certain young man whose face wasn’t clearly visible because he was wearing a black hood opened his mouth in a very careful tone.

“The dress-like armor that girl is wearing is similar in style to the armor mainly worn by female knights of the Rihart Kingdom. Also, isn’t the golden sword the girl is holding very similar to the sword that the Knight King is said to have wielded in legend? Then I think there’s a sufficient possibility that girl is actually the kingdom’s Knight King.”

“…..”

“…..”

At the young man’s words, the tavern was instantly enveloped in silence.

But, that was only for a moment.

“Puhahaha! This friend is saying something very funny! Hasn’t our friend read fairy tales? The kingdom’s Knight King was a man, not a woman!”

“That’s right! What was it again. I’m sure it was a fairy tale about a knight having an affair with the king’s wife? Was that content related to the kingdom’s Knight King?”

“If the Knight King was a woman, then the magician under her or even the son who rebelled must have actually been women too! Right?”

So people were busy laughing and mocking the words of the young man wearing a black hood.

“…..”

It was all too similar to the appearance of a certain man who had been humiliated after saying that the identity of the hero who fought against Chris in a tavern in the Federation was an archer.

But, the decisive difference between that man and the young man here was none other than.

‘…Stupid fools. I took pity on you and gave you a special spoiler, yet you treat me like this.’

Thinking that, Kaisel had to quietly suppress his anger inside.
Well, fine.

Unlike you who just make various guesses while watching anime, this side even produced settings related to the Knight King together with the director who makes “Sky of Destiny”.
So what would you know?
About a month until the girl’s ‘true name’ is revealed.

The calm before the storm.

I won’t refute you who are laughing at my words now.

The result will tell whether you are pathetic or I am pathetic.
