The Myriad Worlds Shuttle Starting from Demonic Inferiority Chapter 43

The meeting regarding the selection of participants concluded quite rapidly, as such matters had already been decided behind closed doors beforehand.

Essentially, the representatives put forward by each club were already the designated participants for the Nine Schools Competition, making this meeting little more than a formality.

Just as this procedural ritual was drawing to a close, Saegusa Mayumi, standing at the podium, proposed that Shiba Tatsuya serve as the technician, causing an immediate uproar among those below.

The female Course 1 Students were fine with it, as they had a good relationship with Shiba Miyuki, and Kitayama Shizuku and Mitsui Honoka in particular were on excellent terms with Shiba Tatsuya, so they had no objections.

However, those male Course 1 Students who usually looked down on Shiba Tatsuya immediately began hurling insults.

How excessive; they clearly have no idea how exceptional Tatsuya's technical skills truly are.

Mitsui Honoka, who harbored admiration for Shiba Tatsuya, immediately began to speak up in his defense.

Although Kitayama Shizuku did not speak, her gloomy expression made it clear she had strong opinions on the matter.

As for Shiba Miyuki, it went without saying; she was currently struggling to suppress her magic, lest she freeze these few who dared to insult her brother into ice statues.

"I understand. It seems everyone simply hasn't witnessed Shiba's techniques and is therefore harboring doubts!"

Jumonji Katsuto's steady voice silenced the murmuring crowd.

"In that case, let Tatsuya demonstrate on the spot. I believe no one present will have any complaints after that!"

Watanabe Mari proposed the simplest and most efficient method, a plan that effectively silenced the male students.

"Then who is going to be the guinea pig?"

A male student below sneered as he spoke.

The people present fell into a silence, for when a magician uses a CAD, they integrate the activation sequence into their own mental realm.

In layman's terms, a magician's mind is completely defenseless against their own CAD.

This meant that if the CAD tuning was not precise, the consequences would be severe.

At best, it would cause a disturbance in one's own mental realm, leading to adverse reactions such as dizziness, vomiting, or mental instability.

At worst, it could directly cause permanent mental damage, or in more serious cases, result in the loss of one's qualification as a magician entirely.

Furthermore, according to Shiba Tatsuya's own account, he had only ever adjusted CADs for his own family members, so regardless of how well they got along, no one dared to take such a risk on the spur of the moment.

"Then I shall—"

"Forget it. Since I proposed this, I will do it."

Kudo Mitsunobu interrupted Jumonji Katsuto, who had intended to take on the risk himself.

While others might not be aware, Kudo Mitsunobu knew that the technical skills Shiba Tatsuya had displayed in the Student Council room that day were of a very high caliber, and compared to him, they were not inferior in the slightest.

Therefore, Kudo Mitsunobu did not feel the same psychological pressure that Jumonji Katsuto did when he made that statement.

Kudo Mitsunobu's voluntary sacrifice caused Jumonji Katsuto to exhale in relief, albeit unconsciously.

Saegusa Mayumi, meanwhile, looked at Kudo Mitsunobu with concern; she no longer possessed the excitement she had felt when resolving the internal issue just moments ago.

Kudo Mitsunobu returned a reassuring look to Saegusa Mayumi, then removed his CAD from his ear, handed it to Shiba Tatsuya, and stepped onto the Adjustment Platform.

After taking the CAD, Shiba Tatsuya sat in the chair, and Nakajo Azusa handed him a Competition Type bracelet CAD.

"What are your requirements?"

After connecting the two CADs, Shiba Tatsuya asked Kudo Mitsunobu.

"Just randomly select five magic sequences and transfer them into it."

The Competition Type CAD was somewhat similar to the Specialized Armed Type, in that it could not store too many magic sequences itself.

"Understood. Actually, I don't really approve of this direct transfer method."

"It is better to reprogram from scratch when dealing with CADs of different specifications..."

Although Shiba Tatsuya's hands were dancing across the keyboard, he still expressed some dissatisfaction with such a crude method.

"I also think this method isn't ideal, but who can argue when it saves time!"

Even though Kudo Mitsunobu was standing on the Adjustment Platform, he still had the leisure to chat with Shiba Tatsuya, prompting Saegusa Mayumi to quickly cast a sharp glance his way, signaling him not to lose focus.

However, when the people below saw that Shiba Tatsuya was actually performing the adjustments manually, they felt they had caught him in the act of pretending to be an expert.

They began to mock him unscrupulously, completely unaware that this was merely due to their own ignorance.

Saegusa Mayumi was already prepared to use her authority to force those below to shut up; Shiba Tatsuya was currently adjusting the device for Kudo Mitsunobu!

If Shiba Tatsuya were to be influenced by the people below and a small error occurred in the process, wouldn't that endanger Kudo Mitsunobu's safety?

"Calm down, Mayumi."

Watanabe Mari quickly pulled Saegusa Mayumi back, signaling her to observe Shiba Tatsuya's state.

Saegusa Mayumi looked over; she was capable of CAD adjustment, though she could only adjust her own, yet she could still understand the process of others adjusting theirs.

At the very least, in her view, Shiba Tatsuya's mindset was very peaceful, and the expression on his face remained calm throughout.

From her perspective, the code he was inputting manually did not seem to contain any errors.

Even though it was manual input, the speed at which Shiba Tatsuya completed the task was no slower than the automatic adjustment function of a Tuning Machine; in fact, it was even a few notches faster.

"Finished."

Shiba Tatsuya pulled his hands away from the keyboard with a calm expression, completely unaware of what a monumental feat his recent actions were to the technical team led by Nakajo Azusa.

"Then I shall give it a try!"

Kudo Mitsunobu stepped down from the Adjustment Platform, fastened the CAD to his wrist, and walked into the testing room at the back.

Every CAD adjustment room in the school had an accompanying testing chamber. Although the space could not be called large—only about thirty square meters—the room was sturdy enough to withstand the destructive power of anything below an A-rank magic.

This was to make it convenient for students to conduct magic tests immediately after their adjustments.

Everyone present turned their attention to Kudo Mitsunobu, who was now on the other side of the large glass window.

Saegusa Mayumi, Jumonji Katsuto, and the others were worried about Kudo Mitsunobu's safety.

The male Course 1 Students were practically praying for Kudo Mitsunobu to run into trouble immediately, so that they could logically kick Shiba Tatsuya out of the team.

As for Kudo Mitsunobu's well-being, that was not within the scope of their concerns.

What's more, in their eyes, Kudo Mitsunobu, who had spoken up to help Shiba Tatsuya, was already a traitor to their Course 1 Students' group.
