Yunyi's words made everyone fall into deep thought, even Tatsuya Shiba was being treated as a criminal.
Of those present, besides Yunyi, perhaps only Tatsuya Shiba had truly considered the practical applications of magic. Similarly, he was also dedicated to developing magical techniques and so on.
Unfortunately, the latest technologies he helped develop, as well as the Magic Sequence he created, were mostly used in the military field.
Of course, Yunyi didn't want to completely eliminate the military use of magic. There's no such thing as a patent for this kind of thing. Once the Activation Sequence is made public, what the person who learned the magic wanted to do with it basically depended on the user's conscience.
It is for this reason that countries are paying increasing attention to the regulation of magicians. An out-of-control magician poses a far greater threat to society than a soldier wielding a firearm!
However, this is relative. If a magician can perfectly apply magic to daily life, the progress they make to society and even humanity as a whole is not to be underestimated. But in all these years, Yunyi Yunyi never seen a magician who can truly integrate magic completely into daily life.
"Are you still sticking to your beliefs?" Lina, who had been standing silently to the side, suddenly spoke up.
"Do you think I'll give up?" Yunyi retorted.
After a moment of silence, Lina said, "I just think your ideas are a bit too idealistic."
"So what?"
"Just because it's too idealistic, should we give up? And then become the army's dog, a killing knife?"
Hearing Yunyi's words, Lina shut her mouth. Similar arguments had played out countless times between the two of them. It was precisely because of these differences of opinion that their relationship had become increasingly distant.
" Yunyi-kun." Just as the two were facing off, Mayumi Saegusa stepped forward and took Yunyi's arm.
"It's nothing, it's just that this idiot always tries to convince me with her ideas, it's a bit annoying." Yunyi comforted Mayumi Saegusa.
He turned to look at Miyuki Shiba, Shizuku Kitayama, and the others.
"Perhaps you will find my words too idealistic, and that is indeed the reality. But if everyone stops exploring the essence of magic and instead blindly pursues techniques that alter abilities and cause destruction, then one day, magicians will be branded with a sin that the world can never erase."
"I don't want to live in that kind of world, nor do I want that kind of future to befall my children. So I will rebel, in my own way."
" Tatsuya, and Lina, if one day you pull the trigger on me because of your own stance, I won't sit idly by. I will utterly destroy you, and everything connected to you. So, when that time comes, I hope you two will make decisions based on your own will, rather than blindly following the orders of others."
Yunyi's words were heavy and shocked everyone present.
But just then, Honoka Mitsui's voice suddenly rang out.
"Um, Yunyi, why did you say that? Can't you work together with Tatsuya and Lina to explore a possibility?"
Her words stunned everyone.
Yunyi looked at Honoka Mitsui in surprise, then at Tatsuya Shiba and Shizuku Kitayama.
"You didn't tell her who I am?"
Tatsuya Shiba shook his head. All the information he had learned about Yunyi from Maya Yotsuba had only been discussed with his younger sister. Shizuku Kitayama whispered, "I'm just guessing."
"Huh!?"
At this moment, Honoka Mitsui also realized that she had never suspected that Yunyi had any special identity.
"This is really..." Yunyi was a little annoyed. Had he just revealed his own secrets?
"Hey, Miyuki, is there any way to erase Honoka's memories?" Yunyi turned to look at Miyuki Shiba.
"Eh!?" Honoka Mitsui was shocked and quickly took a few steps back, distancing herself from the others.
" Yunyi-kun, you can't do that." Mayumi Saegusa looked at Yunyi reproachfully.
Miyuki Shiba chimed in, "Exactly! Honoka will take such scary words seriously!"
Shizuku Kitayama stood in front of Honoka Mitsui, blocking Yunyi's view of her.
"It was just a joke, no need to make such a fuss." Yunyi shrugged.
This unexpected incident instantly dispelled the tense atmosphere in the battle room. However, given what had just happened, everyone was still somewhat at a loss.
"Let's talk about the future later. Right now, it's fine for you guys to continue studying the manipulation of magic. But there's one thing you need to pay attention to: don't get your thinking stuck. Knowing which spell to use in which situation to achieve your desired goal is the most basic thing about using magic. If you don't even understand this, blindly practicing will only be putting the cart before the horse and wasting your time," Yunyi said.
"Okay," Shizuku Kitayama replied listlessly.
She never expected that simply asking Yunyi to help check the results would lead to so much trouble. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have suggested to Miyuki Shiba that she approach Yunyi.
Miyuki Shiba nodded as well. She had a very complicated feeling about Yunyi. At first, Yunyi made her feel a sense of rejection, especially since Yunyi often teased her and tripped her up, which made her have quite a few complaints about Yunyi.
But as she spent more and more time with Yunyi, she felt that there might be a possibility in Yunyi. And this possibility was something that she and her brother lacked, but which they most longed to have. So, after hearing Yunyi's suggestion, she wanted to continue to try.
"The essence of magic?" Miyuki Shiba pondered silently.
The previous topic came to a close with Yunyi's summary. Everyone left the battle room together, while Tatsuya Shiba was urged by Yunyi to go on an inspection tour.
Watching Tatsuya Shiba leave helplessly, Miyuki Shiba, as his younger sister, felt no anger. She always felt that although her brother seemed to have a hard time and sometimes a headache when he was with Yunyi, the expression that occasionally appeared on his face was something they had longed for but could not have before. With this in mind, she even wanted her brother to get closer to Yunyi.
Unfortunately, this was just her personal opinion. If Tatsuya knew that his younger sister had such thoughts, would he feel betrayed?
