The Myriad Worlds Shuttle Starting from Demonic Inferiority Chapter 10

"But his Psion count is truly only at the level of a Course 2 Student..."

"Yet, what is this faint, lingering sense of threat?"

The Eye of Truth-Shattering was an extra-system magic that Kudo Mitsunobu had independently developed at the age of ten.

As long as a magician's strength was equal to or below his own, they could never escape the observation of his Eye of Truth-Shattering. While his Eye of Truth-Shattering lacked the terrifying ability to instantly discern exactly what magic an opponent was preparing, it could perfectly observe the current state of an opponent's Psion count and the programming of their magic sequence as it activated.

Naturally, he did not believe that Shiba Tatsuya could evade the observation of his Eye of Truth-Shattering.

Shiba Tatsuya's brows furrowed slightly; from a moment ago, he had felt as if he were being watched by a gaze.

He had originally intended to abandon his plan to step out and resolve the situation, but seeing his younger sister's slightly anxious expression, he sighed softly. He could not bear to see his sister unhappy or wronged; after all, these were the only emotions that remained within his heart.

"My apologies, we were acting a bit too rowdy."

Shiba Tatsuya stepped out from beside his sister, bearing the gazes cast upon him by everyone present.

"Hm?"

He noticed that the moment he spoke, the gaze probing him seemed to vanish.

However, now was not the time to dwell on that.

"Rowdy? Are you joking with me?"

Watanabe Mari said with a half-smile, though despite the smile on her lips, there was no sign that she was in a good mood.

"Yes, it is because we suddenly said we wanted to witness the [Swift-Cast] passed down through the Morisaki family for generations. It was just because it was so incredibly realistic that we acted without thinking."

The people present fell into silence.

Even Kudo Mitsunobu was stunned, a rare sight for him; he had clearly seen the male students behind them already preparing their magic activation sequences just a moment ago.

The girl with short red hair standing behind Shiba Miyuki also looked as if she were about to rush forward and strike with the baton-shaped CAD held in her hand.

"I never expected that you, Shiba Tatsuya, could tell such a transparent lie so brazenly?"

Kudo Mitsunobu truly felt he had seen something new today.

Clearly, Watanabe Mari had no intention of believing Shiba Tatsuya's nonsense either.

Did he think her eyes were blind?

"Then what about the offensive magic that red-haired girl beside you was activating?"

"That was merely a self-acceleration magic sequence; Erika did not attach any offensive magic to her CAD."

Shiba Tatsuya spoke nonsense with a straight face.

If Kudo Mitsunobu hadn't already seen, through his Eye of Truth-Shattering, that the girl named Erika had already flooded her baton with Psions in that instant, he might have actually believed him.

"It seems you are capable of seeing through the magic sequences when a CAD is activated."

"I am not skilled at practical techniques, but I am quite good at analysis. After all, I am just a Course 2 Student." Shiba Tatsuya pointed to his chest with a serious expression.

"No, that is not 'just' anything."

Kudo Mitsunobu felt this was the first time in his life he wanted to retort out loud. And what was with everyone else present acting as if this were a matter of course?

Had they all wasted their education? At the very least, he had never heard of anyone else possessing this ability besides himself.

What this ability meant was that as long as you activated a magic sequence, the opponent would know exactly what magic you were using, allowing them to use counter-magic or create an opening based on your sequence.

At this moment, Shiba Miyuki, who had been standing behind Shiba Tatsuya, also stepped forward. With her hands crossed over her lower abdomen, she bowed deeply toward Watanabe Mari and Saegusa Mayumi.

"I am sorry, this was truly just a misunderstanding."

"We are sorry to have troubled you, Seniors."

Shiba Miyuki's sincere apology caused even the usually imposing Watanabe Mari to look on in surprise, a thought even crossing her mind to let them off the hook.

"Mari, let's leave it at that!"

"Junior Shiba, are you certain that you truly only wanted to watch it once?"

Saegusa Mayumi stepped between the two and winked at Watanabe Mari.

Shiba Tatsuya seized the opportunity immediately.

"That is correct, that is all."

"Honestly."

Watanabe Mari rubbed her furrowed brow, then spoke in an educational tone.

"Since the President has already said so, I will not pursue this matter further. You must understand that such a situation must never happen again, do you understand?"

Everyone present straightened their posture to show they understood, watching as Watanabe Mari and Saegusa Mayumi walked away.

After taking a few steps, Watanabe Mari suddenly stopped. She did not turn back, but asked in a rather cold tone.

"What is your name?"

"First-year Class E, Shiba Tatsuya."

Kudo Mitsunobu had followed Saegusa Mayumi and Watanabe Mari for only a short distance.

Suddenly stopping in his tracks, Saegusa Mayumi looked back at him with a puzzled expression. "What is it, Mitsunobu-kun? Are you not coming?"

"When it comes down to it, Senpai, I was originally planning to leave the school directly. Why am I even walking back with you two?"

"That is true, isn't it!" Watanabe Mari replied, her tone feigning surprise.

"Then let's meet at the Student Council room tomorrow at noon! Since you are officially joining the Student Council, we should get to know each other."

Saegusa Mayumi nodded, simultaneously pulling a magnetic card from her handbag and handing it to Kudo Mitsunobu.

"This is for the Student Council door lock. You haven't registered your fingerprints yet, so if you arrive early tomorrow, just use this card to get in."

After taking the magnetic card, Kudo Mitsunobu tucked it straight into his pocket. He exchanged farewells with the two of them and headed toward the school gate.

"Would you like to go to a cafe and chat for a while later?" Mitsui Honoka asked.
