Although the final of the Mirage Bat Competition should have been one of the most anticipated events, the appearance of Flight Magic made the competition's biggest highlight—the battle for the championship—completely predictable.
The moment Mayumi Saegusa appeared, many people, both in the stands and among the contestants, sighed.
"Alright Mayumi, it's the final match, go and have some fun." Yunyi gently nudged Mayumi Saegusa, gesturing for her to hurry up and go on stage.
Mayumi Saegusa Nanagusa turned around and glared at Yunyi, seemingly very dissatisfied with his description of "hopping around for a while".
The match began soon.
Apart from Mayumi Saegusa, the other contestants seemed somewhat disheartened. However, this couldn't be blamed on them; after all, the championship of this competition had already been decided by that "fairy" flying around in the sky. No matter how hard they tried, they could only manage second place. However, there were still some who refused to give up. This contestant from Third High School, despite giving it her all, was still left far behind by Mayumi Saegusa.
This time, Mayumi Saegusa didn't return to the stone pillar to rest midway, but continued to score points. After resting for an afternoon, she seemed to be in even better shape than during the morning's preliminary rounds. Perhaps it was because Yunyi massaged and relaxed her body that her condition improved?
In the VIP spectator seats, Retsu Kudou and several high-ranking members of the organizing committee were watching the match.
"What you did was really ugly."
After listening to the report from the organizing committee members, Retsu Kudou sternly reprimanded them.
"Since the rules don't explicitly prohibit the use of Flight Magic in the competition, even if a contestant uses such a spell, you can't demand it from them just because of the competition. What's the difference between that and robbery? Even if it were some kind of Ancient Magic or Modern Magic, he wouldn't object to it being included in the ' Mokuroku ' if he didn't want to reveal it. Are you trying to force him?"
"The loopholes in the rules will be corrected in future Nine Schools Competition. I don't want this mistake to happen again. This isn't just about today's events; the fact that terrorists infiltrated the area is truly the biggest scandal in history!"
" The Jumonji Family, along with the Ichijo Family and Saegusa Family, have already lodged protests with the association and the Master Clans Conference regarding the issues surrounding this Nine Schools Competition. I expect you to provide a reasonable explanation for how to resolve this. Now, shut your mouths; I want to watch the match."
The high-ranking officials who had been reprimanded by Retsu Kudou now looked ashamed. Even if Retsu Kudou told them to shut up, they couldn't say anything useful.
The match ended quickly, with Mayumi Saegusa winning the championship with an overwhelming score.
Seeing the score displayed on the big screen, even Tatsuya Shiba, who was standing outside the arena, sighed and said, " Yunyi, the magic you chose might be more suitable for this kind of competitive event than my flight spell."
Yunyi responded.
While both his technique and Tatsuya Shiba's technique can be considered Flight Magic, their focuses differ. His composite magic is indeed more suitable for Mirage Bat than general-purpose Flight Magic. After all, in this competition, the light orbs will only appear in a fixed area. To concentrate the light orbs, one must approach them quickly. And his technique is much faster than general-purpose Flight Magic in terms of short-distance acceleration.
As the game ended, Mayumi Saegusa descended from the sky.
Yunyi chuckled and stepped forward, catching Mayumi Saegusa who had canceled the spell mid-air and jumped down.
"Did you have fun?"
Hearing Yunyi's question, Mayumi Saegusa smiled and nodded. She had never tried this event before when she participated in the Nine Schools Competition. Being able to participate this time was quite an interesting experience.
The end of the Mirage Bat competition means that First High School will ultimately win the overall score. In this situation, there's no problem with celebrating now. However, there's the Monolith Code competition for the boys' group tomorrow, and the idea of opening champagne halfway through is something that Katsuto Jumonji Suzune Ichihara, and the others are somewhat reluctant to do.
Finally, a slightly disappointed Mayumi Saegusa followed Yunyi back to their hotel room. Since she couldn't celebrate with everyone, she would celebrate with her boyfriend instead.
But as soon as they entered the room, Yunyi whispered in Mayumi Saegusa's ear, "Alright, the competition is over, it's time to pay your reward, Mayumi?"
Upon hearing this, Mayumi Saegusa's cheeks flushed crimson. She gently shifted her body, which was being held by Yunyi, and whispered, "Here?"
"Going back is fine too, it's up to you." Yunyi didn't care; anyway, this vixen couldn't escape, so letting her hide for a couple more days wouldn't hurt.
Mayumi Saegusa glared at Yunyi Yunyi, then shoved him aside and went into the bathroom.
"Then let's wait until we get back!"
Seeing the little imp escape, Yunyi couldn't help but laugh. However, his smile didn't last long before it was dispelled by a message coming from the terminal.
" Yunyi, I interrogated Douglas Huang. He is indeed Richard Sun's confidant, but the last time they met was six months ago! In the past six months, Douglas Huang has been communicating with him through encrypted communications, so now, I can't be sure if Richard Sun is still hiding in the United Kingdom."
When Yunyi saw this message, it would be impossible for him not to be emotionally affected. However, Douglas Huang was the person he knew who was closest to Richard Sun. If he couldn't confirm the information in his head, he could only look for a breakthrough through Zhou Gongjin.
However, Zhou Gongjin is far more difficult to deal with than Douglas Huang. While his biggest master is indeed Old Black Bug Gu Jie, he has more than one master. Within the alliance, several powerful faction leaders are all intricately connected to him. Moving against him definitely requires careful planning. Otherwise, if they take action and before they even find Old Man Gu Jie, the alliance will come looking for trouble, which would be a huge loss.
"It seems we need to bring our covertly developing forces into the open first. Otherwise, implementing the next plan will be quite troublesome."
