Gungi Zelungi
You look to be spoiling for a fight, newcomer. Not that I blame you─most everyone the captain sends my way is.
You'd do well to vent some of that pent-up rage in a match or three of Crystalline Conflict. It's the latest, greatest, and most exciting tactical training you'll find this side of the front lines!
You may think me biased, given that I'm the one who came up with the rules, but nothing could be further from the truth. We received countless calls to add more strategic elements to our training skirmishes, you see, and I simply put the entirety of my considerable skill toward answering them.
Crystalline Conflict matches challenge you to maintain control over an all-important freight, which you must transport safely to a designated location amid the heat of battle. I've even designed special arenas replete with magicked mechanisms to keep you on your toes.
- JA 舞台は近くの訓練場……なんだけど、最新の幻影投射技術で特別な景観を再現してるから、入ってみたら、きっとびっくりすると思うよ！ ‘The stage is the nearby training ground... but since it recreates special scenery with the latest illusion projection technology, I think you'll be amazed when you go in!’ English says the arenas have magicked mechanisms; Japanese says special scenery is recreated with illusion projection technology.
If that piques your interest, my first recommendation is that you learn the rules in their entirety, lest you be pulverized the moment you step onto the field. But fear not─I am more than happy to discuss them any time!
- FR Bon, avant de vous jeter dans la bataille, il faut tout de même que vous en appreniez quelques règles essentielles. ‘Well, before throwing yourself into battle, you still need to learn a few essential rules.’ English says to learn the rules in their entirety; French says to learn a few essential rules.
- JA とはいえ、バトルをめいっぱい楽しむには、最低限のルールを知っておくことが肝心だ。 ‘That said, to enjoy the battle to the fullest, it is essential to know the bare minimum of rules.’ English says to learn the rules in their entirety; Japanese says to know the bare minimum of rules.
- JA とはいえ、バトルをめいっぱい楽しむには、最低限のルールを知っておくことが肝心だ。 ‘That said, to enjoy the battle to the fullest, it is essential to know the bare minimum of rules.’ English warns you would be pulverized on the field; Japanese says the rules are for enjoying the battle fully.
I'm afraid you'll need to put on a fiercer face than that if you're to take on my training. You may survive, but you won't strategically thrive...
- DE Nur die Harten kommen in den Garten, geschweige denn in mein Paradies der strategischen Kriegsführung ... ‘Only the tough get into the garden, let alone into my paradise of strategic warfare...’ English rhymes "survive" with "thrive"; German uses the saying "only the tough get into the garden".
