"I'm so envious. If I had asked Uesugi or Shiba to be my technician back then, maybe I could have won too," Nanami sighed.
" Nanami, that's not quite right."
Miyuki Shiba 'Nanami words attracted the attention of many students from First High School who hadn't placed in the competition. They all looked at them with uncertain expressions, so they stepped forward and said something.
" Nana, don't blame your lack of skill on CAD," Eimi said.
"I regret it," Nanami said, realizing she had misspoke.
"But thanks to Bai Feng and Shiba, we really did perform even better than usual," said Passerby A.
"In a sense, adjusting CAD requires revealing one's inner self completely."
"So at first, I felt a little uncomfortable knowing that the technician was a man, but it was really lucky that Uesugi -kun and Shiba were able to work on the adjustments."
"We should really thank those boys who gave up Uesugi and Shiba to us."
The girl's words deeply wounded Morisaki's heart. Already dissatisfied with the boys' competition results, he couldn't stay any longer after hearing these words and walked out of the banquet hall.
After the dinner, Baifeng Uesugi, Miyuki Shiba, and Tatsuya Shiba were about to return to their rooms when they encountered a man with Third High School of education on the way.
"I am Masaki Ichijo, Masaki Ichijo first-year student at Third High School."
" Shinkuro Kichijoji, also a first-year student." (Kichijou )
"I'm Tatsuya Shiba from First High School. So, Crimson Prince and Cardinal George, did you need something from us before the match?" Tatsuya Shiba stepped forward and asked.
"Oh, you must be Tatsuya Shiba. I know you're Baifeng Uesugi's assistant this time. Although you're called an assistant, your own strength shouldn't be underestimated."
"It's quite surprising that you know not only me, but also George," said Masaki Ichijo.
"However, we're not just here to find you, we're also here to find him, Baifeng Uesugi."
" Baifeng Uesugi, Tatsuya Shiba— I've never heard of those names before, but I won't forget them after today," George said.
"You two are probably geniuses with skills never before seen in the history of the Nine Schools Competition. Although this is very impolite, we came here to meet you."
"A young genius who discovered one of the Cardinal Code at such a young age, to call me a genius is truly undeserved," said Baifeng Uesugi.
"But it is indeed beyond the realm of common sense,"
" Miyuki, you go and prepare."
Baifeng Uesugi looked at Miyuki Shiba and said.
"Prince, it seems your match is about to begin," Baifeng Uesugi said.
"We'll be Monolith Code tomorrow, what will you do?" George asked.
"What a coincidence! I'm now in full charge of this competition, so I'm really looking forward to seeing you tomorrow."
Baifeng Uesugi naturally wouldn't tolerate George's provocation; he wasn't George's father, so there was no need for him to be so polite.
"Is that so? I'm looking forward to our meeting," said Masaki Ichijo.
Next day...
Scene from Surfing Race competition.
"Hey, don't you guys find it strange that all the contestants are wearing sunglasses?" Erika Chiba asked, puzzled.
"Remember the tactics Honoka used in the last match? They're worried that Honoka will use the same trick again," Baifeng Uesugi explained.
"I see. But what tactics did you devise this time, Bai Feng?" Erika Chiba asked, puzzled.
"You'll find out soon enough," Baifeng Uesugi said with a smile.
As the competition began, the contestants all rushed out.
Honoka Mitsui closely followed the first place.
Just as the first-place player was about to turn the corner, Honoka Mitsui activated her magic.
The player in first place suddenly and inexplicably did not choose the inner circle for the corner, but instead chose the outer circle, which is the furthest away.
"What just happened?" Leo asked, puzzled.
"Suddenly a shadow appeared on the track," Erika Chiba said.
On the track, just before the second bend, Honoka Mitsui activated her magic again, using light magic to magnify the shadow of the track's fence.
The drivers ahead continued to avoid the shadows, opting to take the corners on the outside.
"I see," Yoshida said.
"What?" Erika Chiba asked.
"When athletes wear goggles, what they see becomes darker, creating the illusion that the waterway is narrowing at the boundary between light and shadow, which prevents them from entering the shadowy side," Yoshida explained.
"I can't believe illusions can be used like this!" Erika Chiba exclaimed in surprise.
"This isn't some kind of illusion, it's just some common sense," Baifeng Uesugi explained.
The winner of this match was once again Honoka Mitsui from First High School.
"Thanks to everyone's active participation, the round-robin finals of the rookie tournament girls' Icicle Destruction are currently dominated by students from First High School,"
" Shiba- senpai, Shizuku-senpai, and Eimi -senpai, you did a really good job," Mayumi Saegusa praised.
Upon hearing this, the three bowed deeply to thank Mayumi Saegusa praise.
"The tournament committee has proposed that, regardless of the final rankings in the single round-robin finals, our school will receive the same total points. Therefore, it is proposed to cancel the single round-robin format and have the three of you tie for first place."
Mayumi Saegusa Road.
"Um, actually I'm not feeling well..." Eimi said with a pained expression.
"So even before I heard what you just said, I had already decided to abstain."
"I understand," Mayumi Saegusa said.
"I want to fight," Shizuku Kitayama said earnestly.
Everyone looked surprised upon hearing this.
"I don't want to give up the opportunity to have a serious competition with Miyuki. No matter what the final ranking is, I still want to have a real showdown with Miyuki," Shizuku Kitayama explained.
"I see..." Upon hearing this, Mayumi Saegusa pondered for a moment before turning to Miyuki Shiba and asking.
" Miyuki -senpai, what do you think?"
"Since Kitayama -kun is so eager for a match with me, I have no reason to refuse," Miyuki Shiba replied.
