You Could Get Addicted to Kicking Someone While They're Down

Kudo Mitsunobu, with his eyelids drooping, loudly complained that in his opinion, even going shirtless was much better than that half-exposed chest-baring shirt.

"Alright, let's get in!"

The match is about to begin.

Standing to the side Watanabe Mari frowned and urged him with some disappointment.

She followed Saegusa Mayumi because she wanted to be the first to see what kind of ridiculous outfit Kudo Mitsunobu would wear.

In her opinion, this was just a normal outfit. Yingmei and Yingmei had worn the same style just a couple of days ago, and she had stood outside the lounge for so long.

"That's right, I went to the players' area!"

Kudo Mitsunobu quickly turned and left, fearing that Saegusa Mayumi might drag him back regardless of the match time and force him to change into that extremely embarrassing outfit.

The player's elevator platform for { Ice Pillar Break } slowly rose, Kudo Mitsunobu also pulled out the adjusted CAD from the holster on his waist.

Perhaps it was because the { Monolith Code } event the day before yesterday was so exciting! Today's { Ice Pillar Break } event seemed even more lively than usual.

Even when the platform rises and the audience seating is no longer visible, Kudo Mitsunobu can still hear the cheers coming from the audience.

As the elevator rose to its highest point, the figure of Ichijo Masaki appeared in Kudo Mitsunobu's field of vision.

The ever-present red uniforms of the Third High School made Kudo Mitsunobu, who felt ashamed, somewhat envious, but those thoughts vanished when he saw that swollen chin.

Didn't he use magic to heal? Although magic can't help his two broken front teeth grow back, it could at least reduce the swelling!

Although he was the one who caused this situation, he really couldn't suppress the urge to laugh when he saw Ichijo Masaki's appearance.

Compared to Kudo Mitsunobu's relaxed and carefree demeanor, Ichijo Masaki's eyes were already filled with the flames of fighting spirit.

It wouldn't be accurate to say he hated Kudo Mitsunobu, since the fight was conducted under equal conditions and it was his own skill that was lacking.

The { Monolith Code }, which can limit the destructive power of magic, ultimately has certain limitations for a magician like him, so he is still somewhat unwilling.

He didn't repair his swollen chin in order to learn from his shame and strive to regain his glory in { Ice Pillar Break }.

"I feel so sorry for Ichijo-kun. He just went through such a brutal lesson the day before yesterday, and now he has to go through it again today."

"Really? I only see schadenfreude on the chairman's face, not a trace of sympathy!"

Ichihara Suzune was speechless as she watched Saegusa Mayumi cover her mouth and chuckle.

She knew before that although President Nanagusa was a very nice person, her personality was somewhat wicked. However, she felt recently that the wickedness of her personality seemed to be getting worse and worse.

The lights will come on as the game begins.

"Masaki, let's have a good match!"

Just as Ichijo Masaki was about to open his mouth to respond, he remembered his current situation and could only cover his mouth with his hand, nodding to Kudo Mitsunobu.

The blue lights started flashing, and the competition officially began.

Before Ichijo Masaki could pull the trigger to fire the magic, a dazzling blue light began to emanate from beneath the Ichijo Masaki's side.

Electric currents surged across the ground beneath Ichijo Masaki icicle.

The magic that Kudo Mitsunobu released was his most proficient release magic, [Lightning Flash]. This magic forcibly extracts electrons from matter, causing a discharge phenomenon. Normally, this magic is not so easy to spread over such a large area.

However, because Kudo Mitsunobu's intention was to have a very strong interference capability, he was able to simultaneously cover such a large area as twelve ice pillars.

There was no sign of panic in Ichijo Masaki's eyes as he pulled the trigger of the blood-red pistol-shaped CAD, although Kudo Mitsunobu's ability to interfere with the city images had somewhat surprised him.

However, [Lightning Flash] is ultimately a spell that focuses on casting speed rather than damage. While it is very useful in human combat, allowing for faster casting and paralyzing of enemies, it is not as effective against ice pillars.

After roughly reinforcing his ice pillar, Ichijo Masaki finally unleashed the magic he had been preparing for nearly thirty seconds.

Manipulate the water molecules inside the ice column to rapidly heat them.

The primary research objective of the First Research Division was to manipulate the human body.

For example, the Isshiki family excels at manipulating their own bodies to enhance themselves, Numbered Families excels at manipulating the minds of their enemies.

The Ichijo Family, as the current members of the Ten Master Clans, specializes in dispersion magic that instantly vaporizes the liquid inside an enemy's body.

Their trump card magic is [Baryon Lance].

However, [Baryon Lance] is a spell that can only be used on a single target and cannot lock onto all the ice pillars at the same time.

The spell he used this time was a multi-target attack spell called [Screaming Hell], which was somewhat weaker than [Baryon Lance].

Chapter Sixty-Four: The Addictive Effect of Whipping a Corpse

Although it takes a while to activate, this magic can rapidly heat the moisture inside both living and non-living things.

This magic can be considered Ichijo Masaki's Kudo Mitsunobu in the { Ice Pillar Break } game.

Ichijo Masaki's thoughts are quietly changing the internal affairs structure of Kudo Mitsunobu.

After all, the Ichijo Family is very good at this; they often vaporize the enemy's body and detonate it before the enemy can even react.

However, none of these things could be hidden from Kudo Mitsunobu's eyes.

"There is absolutely no need for defense."

Even if he didn't defend at all, it would be impossible for Jōki to heat such a thick icicle from the inside to completely melt Ichijo Masaki in less than half a minute.

Kudo Mitsunobu's next spell was ready; an orange-red beam of light shot from the muzzle of his Kudo Mitsunobu into the blue Lightning Flash field.

The scene has changed.

The ice pillars, which had remained unmoved by Kudo Mitsunobu's [Lightning Flash] attack, were now melting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ichijo Masaki battlefield, and large amounts of water droplets slid off the icicles, forming puddles on the ground in just three seconds.

The air itself was burning intensely, and even standing on the elevator platform Ichijo Masaki could feel the scorching heat below.
