Upon hearing Miyuki Shiba's words, Yunyi gave her a meaningful glance. Miyuki Shiba Yunyi felt goosebumps rise on her arms from that look. Knowing Yunyi Yunyi as she did, she instantly guessed the meaning behind his gaze.
Just as Miyuki Shiba was about to say something, Yunyi spoke up first, "Speaking of which, you guys all look so worried, but Ichihara-senpai doesn't seem to be in a hurry? Could it be that Ichihara-senpai already has someone in mind?"
Upon hearing Yunyi's question, Mayumi Saegusa and the others finally realized what was going on. They had been discussing this the whole time, but Suzune Ichihara hadn't participated at all.
" Rin?" Mayumi Saegusa asked in confusion.
Suzune Ichihara glanced at Yunyi before answering Mayumi Saegusa's question.
"I do have someone in mind, but I can't be sure if they're willing to help."
Upon hearing Suzune Ichihara's words, Mayumi Saegusa immediately pressed, "Who is it? Rin, tell us, and we can help you persuade them."
Suzune Ichihara nodded, then turned her gaze to Yunyi, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Mayumi Saegusa followed Suzune Ichihara's gaze, then turned back to Suzune Ichihara.
" Rin, you don't mean to suggest that Yunyi-kun join the team for the competition, do you?"
Suzune Ichihara nodded again, confirming Mayumi Saegusa's guess.
"This is really..." Mayumi Saegusa covered her forehead, she didn't know why Suzune Ichihara would set her sights on Yunyi.
" Rin, Yunyi-kun's theory score, um..." Mayumi Saegusa didn't know how to say it.
To be honest, this doesn't seem quite right. After all, she and Yunyi are boyfriend and girlfriend, and she's a little hesitant to expose her boyfriend's shortcomings in front of outsiders. But if she doesn't say anything, Yunyi's theoretical grades are so low that if he actually participates, he'll only be the one dragging the team down, which doesn't seem like a good idea either.
" Mayumi, I know Liu Yunyi's grades very well. I want to invite him to join us, not because of his grades, but because of his opinions on certain things. Just like when Azusa was worried about the topic of general-purpose Flight Magic, Yunyi proposed the ' Closed-Loop Theory.' Suggestions like that are very helpful to us." Suzune Ichihara expressed her thoughts.
Upon hearing her words, Mayumi Saegusa and the others fell into deep thought.
Indeed, compared to Suzune Ichihara and Tatsuya Shiba's theoretical scores, Yunyi's results are rather dismal. However, from other perspectives, perhaps Yunyi's joining is indeed a good choice?
However, those present all knew Yunyi well. Given his personality, persuading him to participate wouldn't be easy. Sure enough, while they were still pondering, Yunyi had already spoken up and rejected Suzune Ichihara's suggestion.
"I'm sorry, I can help with other things, but please leave me alone when it comes to theoretical matters." Yunyi's expression was very serious; he was extremely averse to anything related to theory.
"Hmm? Liu Yunyi is going to refuse?" Suzune Ichihara was a little puzzled. She felt that since Yunyi could summarize such a theory about general-purpose Flight Magic, she shouldn't be opposed to theoretical research.
Yunyi a wry smile. After sitting down next to Mayumi Saegusa, he replied, "It's not a matter of refusing or not refusing, but rather that my own level is truly insufficient to participate in this kind of activity. That ' Closed-Loop Theory ' I came up with back then was just a summary of my experiences while learning Flight Magic; such experiences are not comprehensive."
"It seems that Liu Yunyi already knows the topic of our competition?" Suzune Ichihara asked.
"Hmm, it's a topic related to the ' Gravity Control Magic Sequence Thermonuclear Reactor, ' right?" Yunyi asked in return.
" Liu Yunyi seems to know quite a lot; it is indeed a relevant topic. Doesn't Liu Yunyi have any insights on this? I remember you applied for a simulation battle room before to study Gravity Magic?" Suzune Ichihara asked.
"That's true, but Ichihara-senpai, you might have misunderstood. My research and understanding of Gravity Interference Magic can't be applied to your topic. The general direction is completely different. I really haven't come into contact with this topic before. So I really can't help you with this." Yunyi explained with a hint of helplessness.
After hearing his explanation, Suzune Ichihara's face showed a look of understanding. Her deduction was indeed wrong this time, but if Yunyi could not provide assistance, then they would really have to choose a replacement from the remaining applicants.
"Alright, the contestants' issues can't be resolved in a short time. It's getting late, everyone should go home as soon as possible. Ichihara-senpai, Lina is waiting for you in the Public Morals Committee office. She's finished with her work and will continue to serve as your bodyguard. Miyuki, Tatsuya, you can just go there later," Yunyi said.
Suzune Ichihara and Miyuki Shiba responded, stood up, said goodbye to the others, and left.
"Well, Azusa, and Watanabe-senpai, Mayumi and I will head back first too."
After Suzune Ichihara and Miyuki Shiba left, Yunyi pulled up Mayumi Saegusa beside him, said goodbye to Azusa Nakajo and Mari Watanabe, and also left.
After the two left the Student Council room, Mayumi Saegusa immediately asked, " Yunyi-kun, is the topic that Rin and the others are working on really something you're not good at?"
Yunyi nodded in agreement, "Yes, I haven't researched this topic. Otherwise, I would have helped you out of respect for you. But unfortunately, I'm truly powerless to help this time."
"Oh, that's such a shame. This time, Rin was the lead writer, and she really valued this Thesis Competition," Mayumi Saegusa sighed.
Yunyi couldn't do anything about it; if you're not good at something, you're not good at it. All he could do was pat Mayumi Saegusa's head to comfort her and soothe her downcast mood.
