After Islington's loud announcement, the Train Knights taking part in the first event were all thrown off the ground at once into a different realm. |
They were suddenly thrown to the edge of an incredibly high cliff facing the ocean. |

"Aïe aïe aïe aïe aïe..." |

"I thought we were going to do it on the ground level... damn." |
![Story Islington.png](/images/6/6f/Story_Islington.png) Islington |
"Well, the athletic meet has started! For the first event, I'm going to accompany you into this other realm to explain about it!" |
![Story Islington.png](/images/6/6f/Story_Islington.png) Islington |
"Ah, I forgot to mention that the events will all take place in Shimoamazu the First's specially created alternate dimensions. This here's gorgeous!" |
![Story Islington.png](/images/6/6f/Story_Islington.png) Islington |
"Kay, get up everyone! Let's start the first event~" |
![Story KarasumaSP.png](/images/f/f0/Story_KarasumaSP.png) Karasuma |
"What are we going to do on this cliff?" |
![Story Islington.png](/images/6/6f/Story_Islington.png) Islington |
"Pft, I've been waiting to hear that line. I'm going to let you all fly now. The first event is caaaaalled~" |
![Story Islington.png](/images/6/6f/Story_Islington.png) Islington |
"AVIAN HUMAN CONTEST!" |
![Story BeijingSP.png](/images/0/04/Story_BeijingSP.png) Beijing |
"I have a bad feeling about that name." |
![Story AyalaSP.png](/images/c/c3/Story_AyalaSP.png) Ayala |
"Talaga? It sounds like fun! We're at the ocean after all!!" |
![Story Islington.png](/images/6/6f/Story_Islington.png) Islington |
"The rules are simple: Representatives from each country fly off a cliff in turn, and the country with the most artistic flight wins!" |
![Story Islington.png](/images/6/6f/Story_Islington.png) Islington |
"I've prepared lots of items there for you to fly, so you can choose any of them." |
![Story BeijingSP.png](/images/0/04/Story_BeijingSP.png) Beijing |
"There are things like cannons and trebuchets here." |
![Story RouenSP.png](/images/d/df/Story_RouenSP.png) Rouen |
"There's also a giant hand fan and a Nishiki kite. It's stupid, but maybe they're magic items..." |
![Story Islington.png](/images/6/6f/Story_Islington.png) Islington |
"Also, your scoring ends when you fall into the sea. Don't worry, contestants who fall in are automatically returned to the ground level♪" |
![Story Islington.png](/images/6/6f/Story_Islington.png) Islington |
"Now, feel free to use them and show us your amu... I mean, alluring flight!" |
![Story KinugawaSP.png](/images/2/2b/Story_KinugawaSP.png) Kinugawa |
"This is an event that tests each country's teamwork." |
![Story KarasumaSP.png](/images/f/f0/Story_KarasumaSP.png) Karasuma |
"Really? Doesn't it depend on the items?" |
![Story KinugawaSP.png](/images/2/2b/Story_KinugawaSP.png) Kinugawa |
"Some items require strength, while others require magic. The team has to choose what they excel at and work together to make one of them take flight to win." |
![Story Islington.png](/images/6/6f/Story_Islington.png) Islington |
"Finally of course, everyone back on the ground is watching what's going on here on the gigantic miststone screen." |
![Story Islington.png](/images/6/6f/Story_Islington.png) Islington |
"Ground to Paddington, are you getting a good picture of what's going on over here?" |
![Story Islington.png](/images/6/6f/Story_Islington.png) Islington |
"Hellooooo?! little siiiiis~?!" |
Paddington |
"Nomnom... Miss Ohana's handmade ohagi are so delicious! I'll have another one♪" |
Finchley |
"Paddington, respond!" |
Paddington |
"HAWAWA!?" |
Paddington |
"Thi-this is Paddington on the ground level! The ohagis are delicious! That's all from here live!" |
![Story Islington.png](/images/6/6f/Story_Islington.png) Islington |
"The live site is here though..." |
![Story Islington.png](/images/6/6f/Story_Islington.png) Islington |
"Well, anyway, I think you can see that people are watching what's going on here." |
![Story Islington.png](/images/6/6f/Story_Islington.png) Islington |
"Now then, time to get started. The first team will be... St. Iris!" |
![Story DetroitSP.png](/images/d/d3/Story_DetroitSP.png) Detroit |
"Alright, let's do this!" |
![Story EustonSP.png](/images/2/29/Story_EustonSP.png) Euston |
"You're really fired up, Miss Detroit." |
![Story DetroitSP.png](/images/d/d3/Story_DetroitSP.png) Detroit |
"Course I am. If we're going to do this, we're going to win by a landslide. That's what a competition is all about." |
![Story DetroitSP.png](/images/d/d3/Story_DetroitSP.png) Detroit |
"So, I was wondering, can you let me take flight this time?" |
![Story EustonSP.png](/images/2/29/Story_EustonSP.png) Euston |
"You like you have the odds in our favour. That's fine, I'll do my best to support you." |
![Story EustonSP.png](/images/2/29/Story_EustonSP.png) Euston |
"So, Miss Detroit, what kind of equipment are we going to use?" |
![Story DetroitSP.png](/images/d/d3/Story_DetroitSP.png) Detroit |
"But of course, the cannon. That's going to make me fly the furthest out of all of them!" |
![Story DetroitSP.png](/images/d/d3/Story_DetroitSP.png) Detroit |
"Actually, I've been thinking for a long time about how far I'd fly in a cannon. There were nights when I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about it so much." |
![Story EustonSP.png](/images/2/29/Story_EustonSP.png) Euston |
"Miss Detroit, you're so passionate about cannons...!" |
![Story EustonSP.png](/images/2/29/Story_EustonSP.png) Euston |
"I'm very impressed. That's the kind of passion that represents St. Iris so well." |
![Story EustonSP.png](/images/2/29/Story_EustonSP.png) Euston |
"Now, Come on into the cannon, let us show them all how St. Iris flies." |
![Story DetroitSP.png](/images/d/d3/Story_DetroitSP.png) Detroit |
"It's surprisingly comfortable to fit myself in here. I think I can have a posture with my right hand outstretched..." |
![Story DetroitSP.png](/images/d/d3/Story_DetroitSP.png) Detroit |
"Right, we're ready. Euston, fire it up." |
![Story Islington.png](/images/6/6f/Story_Islington.png) Islington |
"You sure? While distance is important, the most important thing is 'how captivating' you are to the judges." |
![Story DetroitSP.png](/images/d/d3/Story_DetroitSP.png) Detroit |
"Yeah, I know. I'm going to show the judges that I'm going to 'fly' straight into their 'hearts'." |
![Story EustonSP.png](/images/2/29/Story_EustonSP.png) Euston |
"Then let's go. Fire!" |
![Story DetroitSP.png](/images/d/d3/Story_DetroitSP.png) Detroit |
"St. Iris's representative Detroit, let's go out with a bang!" |
![Story DetroitSP.png](/images/d/d3/Story_DetroitSP.png) Detroit |
"......" |
![Story DetroitSP.png](/images/d/d3/Story_DetroitSP.png) Detroit |
"Huh? Did the lit fuse go out on the way?" |
![Story EustonSP.png](/images/2/29/Story_EustonSP.png) Euston |
"But the fuse went all the way to the end..." |
![Story DetroitSP.png](/images/d/d3/Story_DetroitSP.png) Detroit |
"Then, I'll have to look at it from inside the cannon. Damn, it's pretty hard to check upside downーー" |
![Surprise Goodbye Cannon.jpg](/images/b/b2/Surprise_Goodbye_Cannon.jpg) |
Detroit |
"THIS IS SO STUPIIIIIIIIDーーー!" |
Islington |
"Oooh, contestant Detroit from St. Iris blasted away with the cannon igniting the moment she checked inside! Nobody expected her to be fired upside down!" |
Euston |
"Miss Detroit, the way you take flight is so daring...!" |
Rouen |
"Non, it looks more like she just made a mistake..." |
Islington |
"St. Iris, that was a fantastic flight! Don't try this at home, kids!" |
Rouen |
"Who would even try this!?" |
