Chapter 37: A Technician Surpassing Silver

Kudo Mitsunobu calmed his mind and placed his hand on the bracelet-type CAD to input commands. It had been a long time since he had used a CAD requiring manual input, so he felt slightly unaccustomed to it for a moment.

Pale blue electricity appeared at the tips of Kudo Mitsunobu's fingers. Although it made no sound, the scorched mark branded onto the wall served as proof that he had successfully activated the magic.

"Mitsunobu, how do you feel?"

It was Saegusa Mayumi who spoke; she had rushed into the testing room the moment Kudo Mitsunobu finished casting [Electric Shock].

"Don't worry."

Kudo Mitsunobu first comforted Saegusa Mayumi, then explained to Jumonji Katsuto and the others who were eagerly awaiting the results.

"The activation of the magic sequence was smooth, and I felt no discomfort. Even if I were to perform the adjustments myself, the effect wouldn't be any better than this."

No one present disagreed with Kudo Mitsunobu's words; even the first-year students who had been challenging them were left with no room to speak.

Because they had seen it clearly with their own eyes: the magic activation sequence had run smoothly, the magic had been successfully released, and there was no sign of discomfort on Kudo Mitsunobu's face.

This made it impossible for them to stubbornly claim that Kudo Mitsunobu was just faking it.

"Then it is decided. Shiba will join the technical team and be responsible for the CAD adjustments for the male competitors in the Freshman Tournament."

Jumonji Katsuto nodded in satisfaction, finalizing the matter on the spot.

However, he still did not violate the regulations to the point of letting Shiba Tatsuya be responsible for the CADs of the second and third-year main competitors.

"Apologies, President, I do not wish to accept Shiba Tatsuya adjusting my CAD."

Morisaki Shun stood up abruptly, and the several other Course 1 Students sitting with him stood up as well.

"President, we cannot accept this either."

The strong protest from these individuals caused Jumonji Katsuto to knit his brows, while Saegusa Mayumi and Watanabe Mari also looked extremely troubled.

Under normal circumstances, Jumonji Katsuto would have definitely scolded Morisaki Shun and the others for their ignorance and told them directly that this was an order—that they had to accept it whether they liked it or not.

But this was a different situation. If a competitor could not get along with the technician adjusting their CAD, it would inevitably lead to an accident.

Yet, the current situation also made it impossible to let Shiba Tatsuya be responsible for the female competitors' CADs, as previously discussed.

A magician's CAD is equivalent to their entire body and mind; having a male be responsible for the CADs of unmarried women would surely trigger even more dissatisfaction!

"President, please let Tatsuya-kun be responsible for my CAD!"

"Mine as well!"

Mitsui Honoka and Kitayama Shizuku stood up and declared firmly.

In the end, the people Shiba Tatsuya took on were not limited to just these three; after hesitating for a while, the remaining girls also requested Shiba Tatsuya as their technician.

Saegusa Mayumi breathed a sigh of relief at that moment.

After all, they couldn't have a situation where a technician like Shiba Tatsuya was wasted by only being responsible for one person.

After the meeting ended, the technicians took their respective team members to hold their own meetings.

As for Kudo Mitsunobu and Saegusa Mayumi, who could both fully adjust their own CADs, they had nothing to do.

Saegusa Mayumi had originally wanted to drag Kudo Mitsunobu out for a stroll, but Kudo Mitsunobu declined, claiming he had important business to attend to.

He wasn't making excuses to Saegusa Mayumi; he truly had business. The place he was heading to now was the company he intended to establish after the Nine Schools Competition.

"Apologies, Young Master, for making you rush over under the scorching sun on a day like this."

Standing at the entrance of the company to welcome him was Kuki Ken, the butler of the Kudo Family.

"I should be the one apologizing. All of this is work I should have been doing myself."

"In the end, I left it all for Grandpa Kuki to worry about."

Kudo Mitsunobu scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Also, Grandpa Kuki, who is this?"

Kudo Mitsunobu naturally noticed the man behind Kuki Ken.

He looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with a refined appearance that didn't make him look like a magician specialized in combat.

"This is my eldest grandson, Kuki Uichi."

"He just graduated from the Magic University last year. Because he isn't interested in the combat side of things, I thought I would have him come and work for the Young Master's company."

"Please feel free to order him around as you please!"

"To say 'order around' is too much, Grandpa Kuki."

"From now on, I'll have to trouble you with the company matters, Uichi-niisan. After all, I still have to attend school and don't have that much time to be at the company."

Kudo Mitsunobu said to Kuki Uichi.

Kudo Mitsunobu understood immediately that this definitely had his grandfather's blessing. He had heard Retsu Kudou mention Kuki Uichi before, even though he hadn't walked the path of a combat magician.

Yet, when it came to the technology for developing CADs, even his own grandfather had nothing but high praise for him.

How could someone so immensely talented be as insignificant as Kuki Ken had described?

This matter could only indicate that Retsu Kudou had informed the Kuki and Kudomi Families that he would be assuming the position of the next head of the family.

The Kuki Family and the Kudomi Family had also acknowledged his strength, which was why they had brought their own grandchildren along to pledge their allegiance.

This was something his biological father, Kudo Shingen, had failed to achieve in his entire lifetime.

There were two conditions required for the Kuki Family and the Kudomi Family to pledge their loyalty to a successor of the Kudo Family from the same generation.

The first was the acknowledgment of Retsu Kudou.

The second was the acknowledgment of strength by the Kuki Family and the Kudomi Family.
