"This is really a headache," Mayumi Saegusa complained.
"Regardless, let's get permission for the substitute player to participate first. Jumonji, is this task yours?" Suzune Ichihara suggested.
"Yes, no problem."
"Then, the task of selecting replacement members from the remaining first-year members will be handled by the president and me," Suzune Ichihara continued.
Mayumi Saegusa naturally had no objections to her arrangements. At the same time, she also called Mari Watanabe to discuss the matter together.
However, after seeing the existing list of participants, the three of them had an even bigger headache.
Shun Morisaki and others were already the most suitable candidates selected from this pool, and now they have to choose substitutes from the remaining players and also achieve good results. In any case, these conditions are too demanding.
While the three of them were suffering from headaches, Yunyi was rather bored. Just as he was about to slip away, Mari Watanabe noticed him.
"Hey, you come over here and give me some advice, don't just stand on the sidelines and watch the show!"
Yunyi rolled his eyes. "These guys on the list, let alone going up against that kid from the Ichijo Family, they'd be in trouble even against players from other schools. You might as well just give up and not waste your time on them."
" Yunyi-kun, you can't say that. If we really give up, it will be a huge blow to our morale," Mayumi Saegusa Nanagusa said helplessly.
"The only remaining events are Mirage Bat and Monolith Code, right? With Tatsuya providing support for the Mirage Bat rookie competition, winning is a piece of cake. Whether you can win the main competition depends entirely on whether you can master Flight Magic. As for Monolith Code, with the Chief Jumonji, even the three contestants from the other schools combined can't break through the ' Phalanx, ' right? In that case, what's the point of talking about morale?" Yunyi asked in bewilderment.
"Although what this guy said was harsh, it's the truth. Mayumi, what do you think?" Mari Watanabe, unusually, didn't argue with Yunyi, but instead agreed with his opinion.
" Rin, what if we give up?" Mayumi Saegusa hesitated for a moment before asking the question.
"Then the championship will slip through our fingers," Suzune Ichihara replied calmly.
Based on the current score comparison, the difference between First High School and Third High School is indeed not that much. And most importantly, having Mayumi Saegusa replace Mari Watanabe in the Mirage Bat event was a risky move in itself. If they lose the fifty points from the Rookie Battle Monolith Code, then the championship will definitely be out of reach.
"I can't win three consecutive championships." Mayumi Saegusa was a little disappointed. Before the competition, she thought her chances of winning this year were much better!
Seeing her like this, Yunyi sighed softly and said, "There is a way to win, but the people on the list are definitely out of the running. You need to find outside help."
"Huh?" Suzune Ichihara exclaimed in surprise.
" Yunyi-kun, do you mean to find someone from outside the contestant list to participate? But who should we choose?" Mayumi Saegusa understood Yunyi's meaning, but who should they choose?
" Tatsuya Shiba! Shouldn't you already know how strong that guy is?" Yunyi stated the answer directly.
"Ah! This is a real blind spot!" Mayumi Saegusa exclaimed in surprise.
"Yeah, we've been focused on the contestants and forgot about this guy," Mari Watanabe chimed in.
"However, this will affect the feelings of the other contestants..." Suzune Ichihara was still somewhat worried.
"We don't need to worry about those guys! These kinds of things are all about who's good enough. The only reason they weren't chosen is because they're too bad! That's their original sin, and we have to accept it!" Yunyi said the cruelest reality without a care in the world.
"Alright then, if that's the case, let's prepare accordingly. Convincing Tatsuya-kun won't be easy," Mayumi Saegusa said.
"You don't need to worry about that Mayumi," Mari Watanabe thought differently.
"Your husband is very good at handling that guy. So entrusting this matter to him will definitely not be a problem. Am I right, Yunyi?" Mari Watanabe looked at Yunyi with a teasing expression.
"Alright, alright, I'll help you figure something out." Yunyi waved his hand helplessly. He was just offering a suggestion, how did he end up getting involved again?
However, Yunyi still had a way to control Tatsuya Shiba. He picked up Mayumi Saegusa's terminal, found Miyuki Shiba's contact information, and sent her a message directly.
Not long after, Miyuki Shiba arrived at the logistics area alone. She, Tatsu Shiba, and two other contestants had been preparing for the rookie battle in the Mirage Bat competition, and rushed over immediately after receiving the message from Mayumi Saegusa.
"President, what brings you here?" As soon as she sat down, Miyuki Shiba asked the question that had been on her mind.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Miyuki, it wasn't me looking for you, it was Yunyi-kun," Mayumi Saegusa said apologetically.
" Yunyi?" Miyuki Shiba was even more puzzled. What did Yunyi want with her again? Did he want to cause trouble for her and make a scene again?
"Don't look at me like that, I've called you here for good news!" Yunyi pouted. Even a fool could understand the look in Miyuki Shiba's eyes.
"I really didn't expect Yunyi to have any good ideas for me," Miyuki Shiba retorted expressionlessly.
"Is it a good thing that your brother has shone so brightly?" Yunyi's tone was indifferent, but his words were an incredibly tempting lure for Miyuki Shiba.
"Brother? Shining brightly? Yunyi, what are you planning to do now?"
However, Miyuki Shiba wasn't so easily fooled, and she cautiously asked another question.
"You should already know about what happened during the Monolith Code competition Mayumi and the others are planning to send their substitutes to the remaining matches. However, you know very well the strength of those students in Class 1; they're nowhere near Tatsuya's level. Therefore, I suggested to them that Tatsuya lead the team to the competition."
At this point, Yunyi paused slightly. He saw the flicker of interest in Miyuki Shiba's eyes, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
"Little girl, it's so easy for you to use your brother to manipulate you, and then use yourself to manipulate your brother."
"However, as you know, Shiba- kun, your brother is too low-key. He likes to keep everything to himself, which isn't good. So, to get him to agree to participate in the Monolith Code competition, we need your help. What do you say, Shiba- kun? Do you want to help?"
"No problem, I'll help you persuade your brother!"
No sooner had Yunyi finished speaking than Miyuki Shiba's reply came out.
