"Hey, Tatsuya, you bastard!"
Yunyi complained to Tatsuya Shiba in annoyance, but the other party watched him being verbally harassed by Mayumi Saegusa and Miyuki Shiba without caring at all, and had no intention of helping him.
After dispersing the students watching, Katsuto Jumonji walked over and looked at Yunyi with a questioning look in his eyes.
After a moment, he turned his gaze to Mayumi Saegusa and said, " Saegusa, I think Liu Yunyi is definitely capable of participating in the main competition of the Icicle Destruction. However, I feel that the magic he used just now was a bit too much. You should discuss this with him properly."
Hearing Katsuto Jumonji's words, Mayumi Saegusa nodded in agreement. Although they couldn't yet determine the exact power of the magic Yunyi had just used, they believed it was at least A-rank or higher. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible to break through "Inferno" so easily.
"I think Yunyi's magic must already have S-rank power. Such magic appearing on the field of the Nine Schools Competition will indeed cause a sensation." Tatsuya Shiba spoke up at this moment, confirming Katsuto Jumonji's judgment.
Yunyi had no objection to what they said, and in fact, he couldn't possibly use " Gramarye " to release magic on the field of the Nine Schools Competition. And even if he could convert the way magic was activated into the Activation Sequence of Modern Magic stored in CAD, it wouldn't have the same power as " Black Rope Hell ".
"Don't worry, Jumonji-kun, Yunyi-kun and I will carefully select the magic to use in the competition." After giving Jumonji-kun a reassuring answer, Mayumi Saegusa Katsuto Jumonji turned her gaze to Yunyi.
Under her gaze, Yunyi naturally guessed what she meant. He smiled helplessly but didn't say anything more.
The match between Yunyi and Miyuki Shiba came to an end. After confirming their eligibility to participate, the two did not linger at the simulation arena.
Yunyi and Tatsuya Shiba returned to Class 1-E together. Actually, Mayumi Saegusa wanted to keep him as a recruit, but because he had caused quite a commotion in the simulation area, keeping him would inevitably affect the mood of the other first-year students, so she gave up the opportunity.
Back in class, Yunyi immediately collapsed onto his desk. However, before he could even fall asleep, Tatsuya Shiba, who was sitting next to him, said, "Are you planning to sleep until school's over?"
Yunyi didn't even lift his head, just rubbed against the desk, making it look like he was shaking his head.
"No, I'm just taking a short rest."
"By the way Tatsuya, the CAD you adjusted works really smoothly. How do you have such great skills?"
Upon hearing Yunyi's question, Tatsuya Shiba paused slightly. After a moment, he replied, "My practical magic skills aren't very good, which is why I want to become a magic craftsman."
"Eh? A magic engineering technician? With your skills, you're sure to shine in the future. If I need you to adjust my CAD files in the future, you won't charge me a lot of money, will you?" Yunyi continued.
Tatsuya Shiba said somewhat helplessly, "No, we're friends."
Hearing Tatsuya Shiba say that, Yunyi blinked slightly. Then he chuckled and said, "Yes, we're friends!"
The two of them were completely oblivious to the people around them as they talked. However, most of the people around them couldn't understand what they were saying.
But this did not include Leonhart, who was sitting in front of Tatsuya Shiba. He turned to look at the two of them and asked, "What's going on? What happened?"
"It's nothing, I just asked Tatsuya to adjust the CAD for me, and I was amazed by how skilled he is!" Yunyi explained, then shut his mouth and closed his eyes.
His appearance immediately dampened Leonhart's initial excitement. He glanced at Tatsuya Shiba, only to receive a shrug in return.
The afternoon passed quickly; just as Yunyi woke up, the school bell rang.
Seeing the message from Mayumi Saegusa on his terminal, "I have Student Council work to handle, Yunyi-kun can go home first," Yunyi smiled helplessly.
"So, even pretending to be a couple requires reporting each other's schedules?"
Despite her thoughts, Yunyi replied to Mayumi Saegusa with "I understand" before leaving the school.
Inside the Student Council room, Mayumi Saegusa saw the message from Yunyi and couldn't help but pout. Actually, she wanted Yunyi to come and keep her company, but since their relationship was only sham, constantly being tied together would only make the other person feel resentful and exacerbate the breakdown of their relationship.
" Yunyi-kun, you're such a blockhead too," Mayumi Saegusa complained.
Although her voice wasn't loud, it was still heard by Suzune Ichihara who was standing nearby. However, Suzune Ichihara wasn't the type to pry into Mayumi Saegusa's affairs.
At the train station not far from First High School, Yunyi saw Tatsuya Shiba and his group again.
"Wow, you guys are pretty fast!" Yunyi greeted the group with a smile.
"Oh dear, Yunyi, didn't you wait for the student council president?" Miyuki Shiba replied with a smile.
" Shiba, please spare me! If we walk to school together and walk home together, I'll really get a sack thrown at me," Yunyi said helplessly.
"Put it in a sack?" Shizuku Kitayama seemed a little confused about what Yunyi meant, and tilted her head to ask the question.
"Oh, it's a sneaky act of covering your head with a bag."
"I see." Shizuku Kitayama looked like she had learned something, which made Yunyi's eyes twitch a few times.
While waiting for the bus, everyone chatted casually. The conversation naturally turned to the Nine Schools Competition, which led to the discussion of the projects everyone wanted to participate in.
"So, Yunyi is only participating in the Icicle Destruction?"
Upon hearing that Yunyi was only participating in one project, Miyuki Shiba asked in confusion.
"Yes, my magic is rather unique. Among the Nine Schools Competition, the only one suitable for me is the Icicle Destruction," Yunyi said.
"But I think Yunyi's magic is perfect for participating in the Monolith Code, isn't it?" Honoka Mitsui suddenly asked.
She and Shizuku Kitayama were present when the conflict occurred, and naturally witnessed the effectiveness of Yunyi's Kotodama Magic.
"But Monolith Code is a team competition of three people," Yunyi said helplessly, spreading his hands. "The other participants are probably all elites from the Course 1 Student. Would they be willing to team up with me, a Course 2 Student?"
Yunyi's answer left Honoka Mitsui somewhat at a loss for words, but just then, Shizuku Kitayama suddenly spoke up, "I have a feeling that Yunyi- kun could handle the match all by himself, right?"
