'Three years ago, during the war that broke out in the new invasion of the ferry crossing, Masaki Ichijo, only fifteen years old, joined the volunteer army. He buried many enemy soldiers with Burst Magic, proving himself to be a mage with practical combat skills. Based on this achievement, Ichijo was hailed as the Crimson Prince.'
'The discovery of a genius magician who was originally just a hypothetical Cardinal Code, a renowned figure in the field of Magic Sequence principles research, and that highly anticipated prodigy—these two individuals attended the same school and were in the same year—is an almost unfair coincidence.'
'This duo should be invincible in the rookie competition, at least in terms of skill level. But this time, things might not go their way, since they're facing me and my elder brother.'
The next day,
Today is the first match of the Monolith Code. Baifeng Uesugi, Tatsuya Shiba, and Leo are all ready to start the match at any time.
"Good luck, junior Bai Feng, junior Tatsuya, junior Leo!"
It was previously said that Baifeng Uesugi could choose his own personnel, but after learning about his personnel at the beginning, Tatsuya Shiba did not object, but Leo was somewhat skeptical.
However, after Baifeng Uesugi explained the situation and told her that Leo had a brand new CAD, Mayumi Saegusa finally felt relieved.
" Bai Feng, you look terrible. Are you sick?"
Mari Watanabe noticed that Baifeng Uesugi's face was somewhat pale and asked worriedly.
"Ahem, it's nothing, I just didn't get enough rest yesterday," Baifeng Uesugi explained awkwardly.
Shizuku Kitayama, standing to the side, also blushed with embarrassment.
"By the way, Shizuku, did you hear any strange noises yesterday?" Honoka Mitsui, puzzled.
"What... what's that sound?" Shizuku Kitayama asked nervously.
"It's just so strange, I can't quite put my finger on it," Honoka Mitsui said helplessly.
If she were to describe the sound she heard at the time, she really wouldn't be able to.
" Bai Feng, are you really alright? Maybe you shouldn't play in this match for now."
Mayumi Saegusa said worriedly.
"Yes, Bai Feng, with your older brother here, we can still win this match," Miyuki Shiba said with concern.
"Okay, I'm really fine now, the match is about to start."
Baifeng Uesugi said with a hint of helplessness,
As he spoke, his gaze would occasionally drift towards Shizuku Kitayama. The events of the previous night lingered in his mind, and he never imagined that the usually quiet Shizuku Kitayama could have such a crazy moment.
Mayumi Saegusa noticed that Baifeng Uesugi's gaze kept going to Shizuku Kitayama, and she was aware of the relationship between the two, but she felt something was off about them today.
"Okay, let's go get ready."
After saying goodbye to everyone, Baifeng Uesugi and his two companions went to the arena to prepare for the competition.
Shizuku Kitayama left her seat and went to watch the video on the screen.
Because the nature of the Monolith Code competition has changed, it is no longer possible to watch the matches live; viewers can only watch the live monitoring footage.
It was at this moment that Mayumi Saegusa noticed that Shizuku Kitayama's walking posture seemed a little strange. Suddenly, combining this with what Honoka Mitsui earlier, she immediately understood what was going on.
She felt a little unhappy. Originally, she planned to take down Baifeng Uesugi after the Nine Schools Competition, but she didn't expect Shizuku Kitayama to make such a quick move. Moreover, she took down Baifeng Uesugi right after losing to Miyuki Shiba in yesterday's match.
Her gaze immediately fell on Miyuki Shiba, who knew nothing at all. She found it somewhat amusing; she had won the competition, but lost her first chance.
She had some doubts about whether this was Shizuku Kitayama's revenge, but considering Shizuku Kitayama's personality, this was something she was completely incapable of doing.
At the same time, he himself suffered a tragedy. Everything was ready except for the east wind, but unfortunately, the east wind had something to do that someone else had taken over.
Feeling down, Mayumi Saegusa started watching the live broadcast.
Before the match officially started, Baifeng Uesugi and his two companions gathered together to discuss tactics.
" Bai Feng, Tatsuya, what's our strategy?" Leo asked.
"Tactics? We don't need that stuff," Baifeng Uesugi said nonchalantly.
"Um... this..."
Upon hearing Baifeng Uesugi's words, Leo looked at Tatsuya Shiba beside him in shock.
"Don't look at me. The best tactic is no tactic, and we really don't need any tactics."
After saying that, Tatsuya Shiba caught up with Baifeng Uesugi, leaving Leo standing there in a daze.
"President, is that the end of their tactical arrangements?" Kanon asked.
"I think they might not have planned any tactics," Mayumi Saegusa guessed.
"Isn't this a bit too hasty?" Kanon said doubtfully.
"Alright, let's watch the game first."
The competition officially began at this point.
Tatsuya Shiba said after catching up with Baifeng Uesugi.
"Brother, it's a pity we didn't encounter them in the first round."
"What, you really want to run into them?" Baifeng Uesugi said speechlessly.
Is this still the same aloof Tatsuya Shiba? He actually wants to take the initiative to fight back when provoked.
"Brother, the title of the Crimson Prince is quite similar to our original title," Tatsuya Shiba said.
"Besides, they were too arrogant before, especially that one, Ichijo, the way he looked at Miyuki was really mean."
"Oh, really? What's going on?"
Baifeng Uesugi asked, puzzled.
Tatsuya Shiba recounted what had happened at the banquet earlier.
"I see. In that case, when we meet them, don't blame me for teaching them a lesson." Baifeng Uesugi said, rubbing his hands together eagerly.
The match was very predictable; Leo didn't even see the opponent before the game was over.
When Baifeng Uesugi returned, he was greeted with cheers from the crowd.
" Bai Feng and Tatsuya did a great job," Mayumi Saegusa smile.
Leo, standing to the side, could only remain silent, looking dejected. This time, no one else had seen it, which was truly embarrassing.
"But junior Bai Feng, we're quite curious about your tactics back then?" Mari Watanabe said.
"Tactics? I didn't plan any tactics. Tatsuya and I just dealt with people as we encountered them," Baifeng Uesugi said.
"Hehe, I told you, there was no strategy at all," Mayumi Saegusa laughed.
"How can this be? You can win so easily even without any tactics," Kanon said helplessly.
At this moment, Kanon's feelings were just like these piles of dots—numb.
"Alright, everyone, let's rest for now. After all, there are still matches to come," said Mayumi Saegusa.
