The afternoon classes were still practical skills sessions, and what was even more surprising this time was that there were teachers present.
" Tatsuya, don't you find it strange? We haven't seen the teacher as many times as we've seen him in the last few days," Leonhart said, looking at the teacher instructing students in the distance.
"The school had no choice but to do this because of unforeseen circumstances," Tatsuya Shiba said.
Upon hearing his words, Leonhart turned his gaze to Yunyi, who was leaning against the wall, looking somewhat drowsy.
"That guy, I always feel like he's going to fall asleep any minute now."
Erika Chiba had just walked over, followed Leonhart's gaze and immediately made a sarcastic remark when she saw Yunyi.
"Same feeling." Mizuki Shibata agreed.
"If Yunyi stays here, he'll probably fall asleep soon. But that's unlikely; someone will come looking for him soon," said Tatsuya Shiba.
As if in response to Tatsuya Shiba's words, not long after he finished Kanon, three pretty figures appeared not far away.
"Oh? Miyuki, Shizuku, and Honoka? What are they doing here?" Erika Chiba asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Are you here to see Yunyi?" Mizuki Shibata asked.
"Yes, that's right." Tatsuya Shiba confirmed, "You should have heard what he said yesterday afternoon, right?"
"Yeah, this guy is as arrogant as ever, and as incomprehensible as ever," Erika Chiba, scratching her head.
What Yunyi said yesterday had the biggest impact on her. After all, her personal inclination was more inclined towards the National Defense University.
"Putting aside his remarks, the practical skills he displayed were quite advanced. In this respect, Miyuki and the others still have a lot to learn. You should understand why they came here, right?" Tatsuya Shiba explained.
"I see." Mikihiko Yoshida, who had been standing silently by, responded.
"But, Tatsuya, you should be able to do that too, right?"
Upon hearing his question, Tatsuya Shiba nodded in response, "It's possible for me personally, but I can't help others with their enlightenment. Perhaps this is just another way of using his Kotodama Magic. Anyway, if you want to learn the relevant techniques, you can ask him for guidance. I think he won't refuse in this matter."
"I'll pass," Leonhart shook his head. "I'm not very good at that kind of delicate magical manipulation."
While the discussion was still going on, Miyuki Shiba and the others approached Yunyi.
When Yunyi heard that they wanted to learn how to improve their Condensation Magic, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Leaving aside the exceptionally talented Miyuki Shiba, Shizuku Kitayama's expertise lies in handling large-scale Activation Sequence. As for Honoka Mitsui, being from Element Lineage, the best way for her to improve is to find a lover. Having these three learn from him in this area is somewhat of a waste of their talents.
However, Yunyi did not refuse, but still gave the three of them a reminder.
"Teaching you is no problem, but whether you can learn it and to what extent you can master it depends on yourselves. Also, after you learn it, don't go around saying that you learned it from me, is that alright?" Yunyi asked.
"Why?" Shizuku Kitayama asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Of course it's about our status! Don't forget, we're classmates. If this gets out, it won't be a good thing for you!" Yunyi said.
Hearing him say that, Shizuku Kitayama realized what he meant. She lowered her head and muttered softly, "You don't care about these things anyway."
"What did you say, Kitayama -kun?" Her voice was very soft, so Yunyi barely heard what she said.
"No, it's nothing." Shizuku Kitayama shook her head.
" Yunyi- kun, we're friends now, so please just call us by our names if you're willing. Calling us ' Kitayama- kun' and 'Mitsui- kun' all the time just feels a bit distant," Honoka Mitsui suggested at this moment.
"Yes, Yunyi, you can just call us by our names. We'll call you Yunyi just like our older brother does," Miyuki Shiba added.
"Sure, I have no problem with it. I'm just worried you might not be used to such intimate terms of address between strangers." Yunyi shrugged, genuinely unconcerned about it.
"Not someone I know well? I thought we were already friends." Miyuki Shiba complained, a hint of annoyance in her voice.
"Haha, that's truly my honor," Yunyi chuckled.
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore, let's get back to the main topic. If you want to learn the technique of solidification magic, the best way is still through practice. However, continuously casting large-scale Magic Sequence consumes a lot of Psions. So, let's choose some small spells to try first, learn the method, and then use them on larger spells after we've mastered them."
"Let me think... For Miyuki, we could consider using a teacup or a water glass. When casting a slowing spell, we could target half of the liquid in the glass and freeze it to the maximum extent possible without affecting the other half."
"It's simpler for Honoka; her expertise in light magic allows her to practice things like solidifying and reducing the area of effect. It's more complicated for Shizuku, though."
At this point, Yunyi paused slightly, then looked up at the three people behind him and said, " Tatsuya, do you have any good suggestions for Shizuku's training methods?"
Hearing his words, the three immediately turned around to look behind them. It turned out that Tatsuya Shiba, who had been chatting with Leo and the others, had also walked over at some point. Hearing Yunyi's question, he also fell into thought.
Shizuku Kitayama's specialties are mostly large-scale techniques, so practicing these techniques is indeed more difficult and exhausting for her than for the other two.
"I think the best option is to use Information Fortification to strengthen this technique, enhancing a specific part of a single target while leaving the rest unchanged. What do you think?"
"Hmm, Tatsuya's suggestion should be acceptable. Shizuku, what do you think?" Yunyi asked Shizuku Kitayama.
Shizuku Kitayama nodded; she didn't object to their opinions. However, if they chose this training method, it would be difficult for her to complete the training independently.
"Alright, let's try out what we just discussed and see how it goes. Miyuki and Honoka, you two stick with Tatsuya and let him observe for you. After all, his 'eyes' are excellent, and it would be a waste not to use them. Shizuku, you can team up with me, and I'll help her try it out. If it doesn't work well, we'll think of another method," Yunyi said.
"I mean..." Tatsuya Shiba was speechless. He just came to see his younger sister, how did he end up being conscripted by Yunyi again? This feeling reminded him of how he was dominated by Yunyi's reckless actions during the Nine Schools Competition.
