Freed from that unusual gaze, Kudo Mitsunobu fell into a rare moment of tranquility, turning his eyes back to Saegusa Mayumi.

Listening to the soft murmurs of Saegusa Mayumi in her sleep, Kudo Mitsunobu smiled knowingly.

He adjusted her position with his hands so she could sleep more comfortably, and after finishing, Kudo Mitsunobu closed his eyes to rest as well.

After a long while, Kudo Mitsunobu drifted into a light sleep without realizing it.

"Danger!"

Kudo Mitsunobu and Saegusa Mayumi were startled awake by a sharp shout from Chiyoda, a second-year student.

Following her voice, the two, along with other students who hadn't noticed, cast their gazes toward the highway outside the window.

Approaching from the opposite lane was an SUV slightly smaller than the bus they were riding in; the vehicle was charging forward in a tilted state, scraping against the ground and sending up a spray of sparks.

Someone shouted that a tire had blown.

Others suggested that a wheel must have fallen off.

There was a reason for their nonchalance.

As everyone knew, the two opposing lanes of the highway were completely separated, with a very sturdy guardrail in the middle.

Under normal circumstances, no matter what happened to the car on the opposite side, it would be impossible for it to affect them, so they naturally had the leisure to watch the show.

Then, at that very moment, the large vehicle suddenly jerked its steering wheel, charging straight into the guardrail, and with the probability of winning a lottery, it landed perfectly in their lane.

It also happened to maintain its high speed while on fire, heading straight for their bus, which was filled with key competitors.

Many students were screaming; such a collision would definitely cause a major accident.

The three bus drivers were certainly experienced, and with one hard stomp on the brakes, everyone was thrown forward due to inertia.

Although some students who weren't wearing seatbelts suffered minor injuries from hitting their heads, the three buses successfully came to a stop.

"Blast it away!"

"Disappear!"

The students on the bus all stood up, preparing to use their own defensive magic to forcibly stop the vehicle.

"Idiots!"

Kudo Mitsunobu was exasperated by their actions.

Originally, this situation wouldn't have been difficult to resolve, but these people were casting magic simultaneously without any order, and targeting a single object would lead to magical interference; not only would the magic fail to activate, but it would also waste the precious time left for rescue.

"[Electromagnetic Field]."

Kudo Mitsunobu activated his magic first with unimaginable speed, but his target was not the burning SUV.

Because the types of magic he knew were of little use in this scenario—if he were outside the vehicle, he would have chosen to blast the car away directly with [Atomic Ray]—but now, he chose to interfere with the students on the bus.

The practicality of the Electromagnetic Field technique was poor because its range was very short, and it lacked the ability to directly destroy a CAD, at most causing a momentary malfunction.

But for the current situation, this was the most appropriate magic.

A momentary electromagnetic interference caused several CADs that were in the process of activating to fall into a temporary state of malfunction.

"Senior Jumonji."

Kudo Mitsunobu turned his gaze toward the person capable of completely resolving this danger.

But what met Kudo Mitsunobu's eyes was not the calm and steady demeanor he was used to, but an anxiety that almost never appeared on Jumonji Katsuto's face.

"Damn it."

Kudo Mitsunobu wondered if he should break the window and forcibly blast the car away himself.

"I will handle the flames."

The one who stood up to resolve the predicament before them was Shiba Miyuki.

She held her phone-shaped CAD, the magic sequence already prepared, and seeing this, Jumonji Katsuto also began to construct his [Phalanx].

The moment Shiba Miyuki activated her magic, the raging flames on the vehicle vanished instantly.

This was [Freezing Fire]; it was not a method of instantly freezing the burning vehicle, but a precise, calculated way to extinguish the fire by cooling it to room temperature in an instant.

The moment the fire was extinguished, Jumonji Katsuto, who had long been ready, also activated his magic.

A light wall reflecting seven colors manifested in front of the out-of-control SUV. The car was crushed into a pile of scrap metal by the immense impact force; just looking at the exterior of the vehicle, there was no possibility of the driver inside surviving.

"Is everyone alright!"

After the crisis was resolved, Watanabe Mari quickly stood up and asked about the condition of everyone on the bus, though even if they were injured, it was likely just from hitting their heads on the seats, resulting in a bit of redness and swelling.

It would not affect anything at all.

Kudo Mitsunobu glanced at the few female students currently gathered around Shiba Miyuki.

"The Shiba siblings are truly doing a remarkable job!" Kudo Mitsunobu could not help but exclaim in admiration.

"Ah, Miyuki is doing very well, even I must admit I am inferior to her, but what does that have to do with Junior Shiba?"

Saegusa Mayumi asked, looking completely bewildered.

"Did you not notice? The chaotic psions in the vehicle were blown away in an instant; that was the effect of Cast Jamming."

Kudo Mitsunobu raised an eyebrow, as he did not believe that someone with Saegusa Mayumi's psion perception ability could have failed to notice that momentary anomaly.

"I never imagined that was actually done by Junior Shiba!"
