After dissipating the flames in his hand, Yunyi removed the CAD from his wrist.

" Tatsuya, I'm sorry to trouble you again."

Seeing his expression, Tatsuya Shiba simply nodded slightly. He was actually quite interested in the Activation Sequence written by Yunyi. However, he still had one question in mind.

" Yunyi, your magic's Activation Sequence is far more complex than Modern Magic and most Ancient Magic. This will make it difficult to use in the Nine Schools Competition. After all, the CAD systems used in the Nine Schools Competition are all specific models, certainly not as advanced as the high-end ones you're using now."

Upon hearing Tatsuya Shiba's question, Mayumi Saegusa nodded. "That's right."

"Can't we find a way to simplify the Activation Sequence?" Mari Watanabe asked.

"It should be possible," said Suzune Ichihara. "However, it would require a huge amount of work, and given the current timeframe, it might not be able to make it in time."

Yunyi had also considered this problem, but converting the activation of magic into Activation Sequence mode was already the limit of what he could do. Simplifying it further would be too much for him.

Suddenly, he remembered Tatsuya Shiba's "eyes," and a new idea came to him.

Originally, if Tatsuya Shiba had helped adjust the CAD settings, the Activation Sequence would definitely have been made public to him. Now that he already knows, why not take advantage of his skill to make some adjustments?

Thinking of this, Yunyi walked to Tatsuya Shiba and said, " Tatsuya, as an engineering technician, you must have come into contact with a lot of magical Activation Sequence, right? Do you have any good suggestions for this situation?"

Tatsuya Shiba pondered for a moment, weighing the pros and cons before replying, "I can try adjusting the Activation Sequence to speed up the deployment without reducing its power. Of course, the rewritten Activation Sequence might not be able to replicate the way you use magic now, Yunyi."

"You mean simplifying the steps for Psions the transformation? That's fine. As long as the power is guaranteed, it's good. After all, this is a technique prepared to win. If we lose the match because of insufficient firepower, then it would be putting the cart before the horse," Yunyi said.

"Hey, you! That sounds like you're saying you're confident you can win even without changing the Activation Sequence? Don't underestimate the contestants in the Nine Schools Competition!" Mari Watanabe retorted from the side.

"That's exactly what I'm thinking," Yunyi explained. "Anyway, among the contestants, there shouldn't be any opponents who can wipe out all nine ice pillars in just a few seconds, right? My defensive spell is still quite effective! As long as I stall for a little while until my Activation Sequence is complete, I can launch a counterattack and win!"

"The same applies to Crowd Ball. It doesn't matter if the opponent gets a few balls or scores a few points. As long as my spell is successfully executed, the opponent will have no chance at all."

"Wow, Mayumi, look at this guy, he's so arrogant!" Mari Watanabe exclaimed.

"Yeah, Yunyi-kun, you're really arrogant." Mayumi Saegusa chimed in, agreeing with Mari Watanabe.

"Tsk!" Yunyi his tongue. "These days, are you not allowed to speak the truth anymore?!"

"If you really encounter a very strong opponent, Yunyi, what are you going to do?"

Just as Yunyi and Mayumi Saegusa were bickering, Suzune Ichihara raised a question.

"If the opponent is really strong..." At this point, Yunyi's gaze swept over Tatsuya Shiba.

"In that case, we'll have to use our trump card!"

"Anyway, the Nine Schools Competition stipulates the use of CAD models, but it doesn't say that CAD is mandatory, right? If I don't use CAD and directly use the original casting method, then how will you deal with it, Ichihara-senpai?" Yunyi asked rhetorically.

"You mean, the Gramarye '?" Suzune Ichihara pondered for a moment before saying, "Then there's no problem."

"Hmph~"

However, while Suzune Ichihara was fine, Mayumi Saegusa gave a soft snort. Others might not know, but she certainly did. If it really came to that, Yunyi wouldn't have used that method.

Seeing her whimpering, Yunyi pinched her nose in annoyance. This action greatly displeased Mayumi Saegusa, who raised her little fist and began to retaliate against Yunyi.

The two of them were playfully bickering, giving Mari Watanabe and the others a bit of a headache. Of course, this didn't include Miyuki Shiba, who was watching them with envious eyes.

After joking and laughing with Yunyi for a while, Mayumi Saegusa suggested that everyone go back to the Student Council room.

"Alright everyone, let's go back and rest for a bit. By the way, Azusa, haven't you finished your project yet?"

"Ugh! I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it, President!" Azusa Nakajo had been following the group around and had completely forgotten about her unfinished project!

Seeing her boisterous appearance, Mayumi Saegusa reached out and ruffled her hair to soothe her.

"Alright, alright, let's go back together. As for your project, everyone will help."

Once everyone returned to the Student Council room, Azusa Nakajo took out her terminal and showed everyone the report.

"The 'Three Major Technical Challenges of Weight-Bearing Magic'? Azusa, isn't this a question that appears every year?" Mayumi Saegusa slid her finger across the terminal, checking the content on the screen, and also saw the part that Azusa Nakajo had already completed.

"Hasn't a large part already been completed?" Mayumi Saegusa asked in confusion.

"Yes! I've figured out the other two, but I can't properly explain the problem of the general-purpose Flight Magic failing," Azusa Nakajo said dejectedly.

Upon hearing her words, Tatsuya Shiba and Suzune Ichihara wore expressions of "I see," while Yunyi, who had already sat down in Mayumi Saegusa's seat, yawned, looking like he was about to take a nap.

"So, you mean, Nakajo, you can't accept the viewpoints put forward after the current research and development failed?" Suzune Ichihara asked, and after receiving Azusa Nakajo's agreement, she fell silent again.

"That's true." After recalling what she knew, Mayumi Saegusa commented, "Magicians who specialize in acceleration and weight-enhancing systems can achieve quite good results with just one spell. But as for Flight Magic, successful cases seem to be limited to some Ancient Magic."

At this point, Mayumi Saegusa looked at Yunyi and asked, " Yunyi-kun, do you know this kind of magic?"

Yunyi, who was contemplating whether to go to sleep, heard Mayumi Saegusa's question and answered without much thought, "Yes, it's a very simple technique."

As soon as he gave his answer, everyone in the Student Council room immediately turned their attention to him.

"What the heck, what's wrong with you guys?"
