Although Saegusa Mayumi was accustomed to calling her familiar juniors by their first names, this was the first time she had allowed a junior to address her by her own.

This fact alone made it difficult for her to shake off her suspicions.

Yet, the two of them appeared far too composed, looking nothing like people who were up to something.

"Um, while I'm enjoying this casual chat with you two seniors, there's something I need to go check on."

Kudo Mitsunobu, seeing that the two seniors seemed poised to lean against the doorway and talk for a long time, spoke up to interrupt.

He had just glanced at his watch; that fellow named Morisaki and his friends had been gone for nearly 20 minutes. If he were any slower, he feared he wouldn't even catch the aftermath.

"Do you have something urgent? If so, it's fine to go now; don't worry about us."

Watanabe Mari spoke up.

Kudo Mitsunobu glanced at his watch again, then sighed and said, "If you two have the time, would you like to come with me?"

"This matter should fall under the jurisdiction of Senior Watanabe."

Now that he was already behind schedule, it would be better to bring these two along and resolve the situation directly.

As for observing Shiba Miyuki's strength, that could wait for another opportunity.

"Oh? Tell me the details."

Watanabe Mari became interested in what Kudo Mitsunobu had to say.

"What kind of matter?"

Saegusa Mayumi's expression also turned serious; since Kudo Mitsunobu had mentioned it was under Watanabe Mari's jurisdiction, it certainly couldn't be a trivial affair.

"You two don't need to be so serious. Let's pick up the pace, and I'll explain the details while we run!"

Indeed, the three of them had already started running.

However, while it could be called running, only Kudo Mitsunobu's movement resembled a run; Saegusa Mayumi and Watanabe Mari looked more like they were gliding.

Their posture was as if they were dancing on ice wearing skates.

Pale blue Psion waves swirled around the three of them.

Kudo Mitsunobu was using a simple physical enhancement magic, a type of magic well-suited for long-distance marches by magicians.

It required a low amount of Psions, provided decent speed, and allowed for physical reinforcement while also defending against unexpected attacks.

Because Saegusa Mayumi and Watanabe Mari were wearing skirts, Kudo Mitsunobu's style of magic was not suitable for them.

The two of them were using magic to reduce friction.

By lowering the friction between their soles and the ground, they achieved movements that mimicked gliding on ice.

This type of magic was considered quite high-end; the Self-Acceleration spell was another advanced application of this principle.

Although this magic consumed a significant amount of Psions, both women were exceptionally talented, possessed high Psion storage capacities, and the distance was not far.

Therefore, they had no reservations about using it to travel.

"I see them."

Through rapid acceleration, Kudo Mitsunobu had already spotted the two groups confronting each other ahead.

"What a miscalculation."

Kudo Mitsunobu had originally assumed that after so much time, both groups would have finished their fight, which was why he had asked Watanabe Mari to come and clean up the mess.

Who could have guessed they would be so sluggish? Had he known, he wouldn't have called Watanabe Mari and would have just come to watch quietly himself.

However, since things had reached this point, Kudo Mitsunobu couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

He activated the custom-made, universal earring-type CAD on his earlobe and reached out with a flick of his hand, sending a cluster of red Psions straight toward the center of the confrontation.

"Who's there?"

The voice belonged to Morisaki Shun, who had just been aiming his gun at the opposite side.

He had been absolutely confident that this single shot would make that hulking Course 2 student suffer.

Who would have thought that just as he was about to pull the trigger, a Psion cluster would interrupt his spellcasting? How could he not be furious?

"That was close, that was close. Almost got blown up."

The hulking student looked shaken; unlike Morisaki Shun, he had been charging forward, which meant the Psion cluster had detonated only a centimeter from his feet.

Although, given his physique, a Psion cluster of that power wouldn't have caused him any effective damage, nobody wanted to get hurt for no reason!

"Stop it! Launching a magical attack against others when it isn't self-defense is not just a violation of school rules—it's a criminal act."

"I am the Disciplinary Committee Chair, Watanabe Mari."

"I intend to clarify the specific situation now, so everyone is coming with me."

Watanabe Mari and Saegusa Mayumi walked over slowly, their hands resting on their respective CADs.

If anyone present dared to resist, they would not hesitate to deploy their activation sequences and suppress the scene.

Everyone on the scene had fallen into a state of silence, and even the usually rampant Morisaki Shun no longer had the heart to search for the person who had just blasted him with a Psion cluster.

Because in his subconscious, he was certain that it had been these two who stopped them; there was no need to look at all.

However, our culprit, Kudo Mitsunobu, was currently observing something that interested him even more with great fascination.

"It seems that is Shiba Miyuki's older brother; he doesn't seem nearly as ordinary as the rumors suggest, does he?"
