The next day.
Yunyi and Mayumi Saegusa left the room. However, the expressions on their faces were completely different.
Yunyi wore a smile, clearly in a good mood. In contrast, Mayumi Saegusa still had a hint of anger on her face. Especially when she thought of the unequal treaty she had signed last night, her cheeks flushed slightly. However, by the time the two arrived at the Mirage Bat competition venue, their expressions had already subsided.
" Tatsuya, how are the preparations going?" Yunyi approached Tatsuya Shiba.
" Mikihiko's CAD software is ready to be handed over to him," Tatsuya Shiba said.
"No, I mean, the one you prepared for your sister."
You mean the flight technique?
"This is just the preliminary round; there's no need to use that technique right away. Besides, it's a trump card, so I think it's better to save it for the finals," said Tatsuya Shiba.
"I see." Yunyi chuckled. "So, if the opponent is too weak, Shiba might not need to use that technique?"
"Yes, that's correct." Tatsuya Shiba said, "But Yunyi, how well has she mastered the technique you prepared for the guild leader?"
"She's a little lacking in skill, but it's enough. Besides, there are still two days before the main competition, which is enough time for her to consolidate her skills," Yunyi said.
"But Yunyi, aren't you worried about this technique being leaked? The CAD file needs to be submitted to the organizing committee for testing. What if it gets leaked?" Tatsuya Shiba somewhat concerned about this.
"Don't worry, that's just a simplified version of the magic. Even if it gets out, it won't matter. The real spells are much more complex than what you've seen," Yunyi said.
"I see."
Hearing Yunyi's explanation, Tatsuya Shiba finally understood why he always felt something was off when he first saw the spell. It turned out that it was just a simplified version of magic.
"It seems this is a technique meant for the chairman's emergency use," Tatsuya Shiba thought to himself.
While the two were chatting, the contestants for the first round of the competition entered the arena.
The match began quickly, and among the players in this round was Honoka Mitsui. Her smooth jumps, shots, and landings captivated many in the audience with their up-and-down rhythm.
"As expected of your specialty, Loop Cast, right? That's a very practical technique," Yunyi praised.
"Yeah, I think so too," Tatsuya Shiba chimed in.
"By the way Yunyi, can I ask you a question?"
Yunyi was taken aback; this was the first time Tatsuya Shiba had ever asked him a question.
What do you want to ask?
" Modern Magic can use techniques like Loop Cast to continuously cast the same spell at a fixed rhythm. Does Ancient Magic have such a technique? I'm curious, if you were a user of Ancient Magic, how would you operate when you need to reuse a spell?" Tatsuya Shiba raised his question. This was a topic raised by someone when FLT was developing Loop Cast, but over the years, there has never been a definite answer.
"I don't know about others, but when I'm faced with this situation, I use a method called Copying." Yunyi briefly explained the Copying technique, but Tatsuya Shiba, felt like he was hearing gibberish.
During their conversation, Honoka Mitsui's match ended. She successfully advanced to the next round.
Just as the next round of contestants entered, Yunyi stood up. He wasn't very interested in this jumping competition, so he decided to go out for a stroll.
"By the way, Tatsuya, regarding the ' No Head Dragon ' stronghold, has your friend still not replied?" Before leaving, Yunyi pressed Tatsuya Shiba. The answer was still "not found." This made him somewhat puzzled.
"Is it that this guy isn't taking it seriously, or is it that Haruka Ono isn't taking it seriously?"
Tatsuya Shiba was naturally unaware of Yunyi's doubts. However, he had urged Haruka Ono to expedite the matter of the " No Head Dragon's " hideout, but they still hadn't been able to find its location, a result that made Tatsuya Shiba himself somewhat worried.
Not long after leaving the competition venue, Yunyi saw Masaki Ichijo and Shinkuro Kichijoji walking out from another exit.
"Hey, hello you two." Yunyi raised his hand and greeted them.
"Perfect timing, I was just about to contact you." To everyone's surprise, Masaki Ichijo said this after seeing Yunyi.
"Hmm? Is there a result regarding what happened that night?" Yunyi immediately guessed.
"Ah? Oh, sorry. That matter hasn't been resolved yet. I'm talking to you about something else," said Masaki Ichijo.
" Masaki, Liu Yunyi, this isn't the place to talk. Let's find somewhere else to chat," Shinkuro Kichijoji reminded the two.
Yunyi didn't have anything to do at the moment, Mayumi wanted to stay with the contestants a little longer, so he didn't refuse Shinkuro Kichijoji's invitation.
After the three of them arrived at a relatively secluded corner, Masaki Ichijo finally spoke up, "I heard you'll be replacing your school's injured player in the Monolith Code competition?"
"That's true. What, are you scared?"
When faced with Masaki Ichijo, Yunyi simply threw back a direct retort.
"Afraid? Masaki and I won't lose!"
Before Masaki Ichijo could speak, Shinkuro Kichijoji retorted to Yunyi.
Looking at Shinkuro Kichijoji, Yunyi felt that this so-called genius magician was prone to losing his composure whenever it involved Masaki Ichijo.
After making a horizontal comparison, he came to a conclusion. Shinkuro Kichijoji and Miyuki Shiba are somewhat similar; they are both "affectionate with a certain character".
However, compared to Miyuki Shiba, Shinkuro Kichijoji is arguably superior. From what I recall, this guy seems to have an unusual relationship with Masaki Ichijo's sister.
Sensing Yunyi's scrutinizing gaze, Shinkuro Kichijoji cautiously took a half-step back. His reaction made Yunyi chuckle softly.
"So, you came to me to ask this question?" Ignoring Shinkuro Kichijoji's actions, Yunyi turned his attention back to Masaki Ichijo.
"No, I came to you to convey a proposal. Would you like to transfer to Third High School?"
