The Infinite Dimensions Starting from The Irregular at Magic High School

After the commotion ended yesterday, the three powerhouses representing the school spent some time discussing the issue between Course 1 Students and Course 2 Students with the Alliance of Volunteers.

Unfortunately.

Those people cared only about making their voices heard and had given no thought at all to concrete methods. Instead, they demanded that the student council draw up a plan.

And so the student council proposed changing the format, holding a final discussion and vote in the auditorium after school today.

"Still, I thought you'd reject them with a much tougher attitude. I didn't expect you to use such a mild approach."

"Hmm? In your eyes, Mahiro, are our student council, Public Morals Committee, and Club Federation really that unreasonable?"

Faced with his upperclassman's question, he only smiled and said nothing.

It was true that he had lived in the Fourth Laboratory for fifteen years and did not know much about the outside world.

But there were still some things he understood.

For example, the position of the Ten Master Clans in Japan's magical world.

It could be said that the people of the Alliance of Volunteers were honored to be able to speak on equal terms with upperclassmen like Mayumi.

It sounded harsh, but that was simply the truth.

Whether it was Mayumi Saegusa or Katsuto Jumonji, both were direct-line descendants of two great families and future successors of the Ten Master Clans.

Their words carried the weight of the Ten Master Clans.

So even if the conversation was equal, it was still under absolute pressure.

"By the way, Mayumi, have you decided who's going to attend the discussion?"

In truth, he had only asked offhand while the conversation was flowing that way.

But unexpectedly, after Mayumi heard him, she showed a smile that seemed to say, "You've asked the key question," then pointed at her own face.

"...Mayumi, you're going up there yourself?"

Mahiro's tone was somewhat doubtful. After receiving an affirmative answer, he was rendered even more speechless.

"What about Senior Jumonji and Senior Watanabe? For something like this, shouldn't they be participating too? After all, you can only represent the student council's position..."

"No, they've already entrusted everything to me."

As she said that, she clasped her hands behind her back and even smiled at Mahiro.

"Jumonji has other things to handle, and Mari isn't suited for this kind of debate."

"Besides, there isn't that much time. If there's only one person, we won't have to worry about the other side seizing on tiny differences in our arguments, and we won't get dragged into an emotional debate because of it."

Although she did not say it outright, Mayumi seemed very confident in her own rational logic.

Was this what they called "the more you say, the more mistakes you make"?

Still, judging from Mayumi's expression, she seemed extremely interested in this discussion.

And that was indeed the case.

Mayumi gazed at the cherry blossoms scattered on the branches and said softly, as if overcome with feeling, "If they can present factual grounds and persuade me, then adopting their proposal as one of the school's operating policies wouldn't be out of the question."

"Of course, if you could come help, Mahiro, that would be even better!"

Mayumi seemed to think very highly of him.

However.

Don't joke around.

Help? There was absolutely no way he was helping.

He had only just offended the Course 1 Students, and now he was supposed to turn around and beat down the Course 2 Students?

If that happened, after the discussion was over, he probably would not be able to keep hanging around at school at all.

He might as well pack his bags and roll back to the Fourth Laboratory.

When he arrived at school, he saw those second-year and even third-year Course 2 Students going around everywhere, spreading the word and making a show of things.

On some students' wrists, however, were white wristbands framed with red and blue lines, similar to the French flag.

According to the intel, these people should all have joined Egalite.

He had not expected the dignified First High School to have been infiltrated to this extent by such a rotten, worthless organization...

And unfortunately, Mahiro was unable to find Haruka Ono. She was nowhere to be seen the entire day.

After school arrived.

Most of the Course 2 Students and some of the Course 1 Students were seated in the main auditorium.

The seating arrangement was just like during the entrance ceremony.

The only difference was that the people up on stage had changed. They had been replaced by Mayumi as the representative, along with five representatives from the Alliance of Volunteers.

However, they were not the five who had occupied the broadcast room.

"Whoa, Mayumi really is amazing..."

As a special guest, Mahiro stood near the backstage area, watching this discussion between Course 1 Students and Course 2 Students from up close.

Although it was supposed to be a discussion meeting, by now it had completely turned into a one-woman lecture by President Saegusa.

She sealed away that bewitching little-devil smile and, with a dashing presence and an open, aboveboard approach, cut them down until nothing was left.

He even heard here the same things he had said when he first met Mayumi.

She really learned fast...

Even though there were five people on the other side, one person had argued them into silence.

To him, these people felt like they had been dragged here just to make up the numbers.

"Of course." Senior Watanabe said with a smile, her pride making it seem as if the person onstage were herself.

"After all, Mayumi is very good at catching the flaws in other people's words! And her processing ability is extremely strong. Unless the other side's argument is absolutely flawless, numbers mean nothing against her."

That said, when Senior Watanabe looked at the five people onstage and the people below wearing wristbands, disappointment and coldness showed in her eyes.

[Egalite]

Perhaps Tatsuya had leaked it, but information like this could not possibly have been kept from them anyway.

The problem was that no one knew what these people intended to do, so for the time being, they could only stay in the auditorium and keep watch over these allies.

BOOM!!!

Just as the discussion reached its climax and everyone was listening to Mayumi's speech—

Suddenly, an intense tremor and roar swept through the auditorium.

Explosions and thunderous blasts rang out one after another.

The students who had just been immersed in Mayumi's speech also snapped back to themselves.

The Public Morals Committee members mobilized for this operation all moved at once.

They swiftly subdued and arrested the alliance members each of them had been assigned to monitor, their movements so clean and efficient that it seemed as if they had rehearsed them countless times.

But the attack did not end there.

Some spindle-shaped objects smashed through the window glass and flew inside.

The moment they landed, they hissed and released great clouds of white smoke.

"It's tear gas!"

The Student Council immediately coordinated with the Public Morals Committee.

Psion light wrapped around the spreading smoke and compressed it back inward. Before it could spread over a wide area, the gas grenades, smoke and all, flew out the window and vanished. The entire process looked like a film played in reverse.

This was a surprise attack they had expected in advance. Although the use of explosives and chemical weapons was more extreme than anticipated, it was still suppressed quickly according to the plan.

But this was only the beginning of the attack.

Bang!

The doors of the auditorium were kicked open.

Several terrorists wearing gas masks and black uniforms all over, looking like plumbers, burst in.

"Nobody move!"

Seeing this, Mari had already raised her hand, preparing to release magic.

But in the next second—

"Everybody get the hell down—"

Before he could finish speaking—

Their bodies suddenly began to twist unnaturally. Immediately afterward, they burst apart like balloons, turning into the finest dust and scattering through the air.

The sight was as though they had been forcibly erased by some power.

Only the firearms that fell to the floor proved they had ever existed in this world.

Mari Watanabe froze.

She did not know what had happened.

Or rather, whose magic was this?

Brother's Mist Dispersion?!

Miyuki covered her mouth in surprise. She recognized this magic.

But was it really all right to expose his decomposition ability in a place like this, under so many eyes?

However, Tatsuya, who was in charge of subduing the alliance members nearby, shook his head in denial.

He had not even taken out his CAD.

Could it be... Mahiro?

She turned her gaze.

Sure enough.

She and Watanabe-senpai saw it together: Mahiro had one hand raised, fingers shaped like a gun, his fingertips aimed straight at the main lecture hall's doors.

The glow of psions still hanging in the air had yet to fade.

"Man, a gun-shaped CAD really is easier to use..."

Mahiro let out a slight sigh of appreciation.

Although he could read activation sequences and cast directly without a CAD, having a gun-type CAD made the sensation much more comfortable.

"Yotsuba-kun, what was that...?"

Mari Watanabe looked somewhat stunned.

If she had guessed right, the destructive power of that magic just now should have been above A-rank. Did he normally store such terrifying magic in his CAD?

Most importantly, his CAD had not been handed over to the storage office!

"Nothing much. Just a little unorthodox trick."

Mahiro smiled.

"Oh, right, senpai. Since these people are terrorists, there's no problem with killing them outright, is there?"

He turned back to look at Mayumi on the stage and Mari Watanabe below it, a calm smile still on his face as he asked.

"...Eh, yes... But if you encounter students from our school, focus on restraining them."

"Got it. No problem. Then please leave the rest to me."

"Be careful!"

Under normal circumstances, intercepting and eliminating terrorists like this should have been handled by a team formed by the Public Morals Committee.

The problem was that, right now, aside from Yotsuba Mahiro, who was able to move freely, everyone else in the main lecture hall was occupied with restraining the alliance members.

So Mari Watanabe did not refuse the help of this "unofficial member."
