"And there's no guarantee that nothing will happen,"
"That's true, but don't worry, Miyuki. No matter what happens, Tatsuya and I will always be there to protect you."
A voice interrupted their conversation.
"Brother is right, Miyuki, don't worry, just focus on the competition."
Tatsuya Shiba had already noticed this when Baifeng Uesugi appeared.
"Brother Bai Feng."
Miyuki Shiba was very excited to see that the person who came was Baifeng Uesugi. Coupled with what Baifeng Uesugi had just said, she felt a little shy. After a while, she realized what was going on and quickly asked.
"Brother Bai Feng, why are you walking around like this? Your injury..."
"Don't worry, I've already healed you with healing magic. I was just staying still to avoid attention. But today is your match, so of course I'm here to cheer you on."
Baifeng Uesugi said indulgently.
"Mmm." Miyuki Shiba looked at Baifeng Uesugi with a happy smile.
"Brother Bai Feng, why did you come out in such a hurry? Did you come to watch my match?"
Miyuki Shiba looked at Bai Feng Uesugi with anticipation.
" Miyuki, so you found out about this?"
Bai Feng Uesugi affectionately ruffled Miyuki Shiba's hair.
"Hehe, because I knew you would definitely come to watch my match, Brother Bai Feng," said Miyuki Shiba with a shy expression.
" Tatsuya, how's the Flight Magic going?" Bai Feng Uesugi turned to Tatsuya Shiba and asked.
"Brother, you can rest assured, everything will be fine," Tatsuya Shiba assured him.
"By the way, regarding Watanabe -senpai's matter, although they haven't made any moves lately, I don't think they'll give up so easily. Keep an eye on the Mirage Bat Competition."
If Bai Feng Uesugi remembers correctly, when that group was Mirage Bat, they would go all out and harm the contestants from First High School.
Moreover, it has already caused very serious consequences for the players. He vaguely remembered that there was also a player from First High School who directly lost his career as a magician.
"Brother, do you mean that group of people will make another move?" Tatsuya Shiba asked.
"Yes," Bai Feng Uesugi nodded.
"Brother Bai Feng, do you mean that there might be danger in the Mirage Bat?" Miyuki Shiba asked in surprise.
"Yes, as far as I know, they seem to have some kind of purpose, and they won't give up so easily before achieving it," Uesugi 5 Bai Feng explained.
"They're so awful! And what exactly are they trying to do? Why do they have to sabotage the Nine Schools Competition?" Miyuki Shiba asked, puzzled.
"You'll probably have to ask them about that,"
Bai Feng Uesugi ruffled Miyuki Shiba's hair and said.
"Brother, when do you think they might make their move?" Tatsuya Shiba asked.
"I don't know. After all, the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. All we can do now is wait for them to slip up," said Bai Feng Uesugi.
Although Bai Feng Uesugi knew when they would make their move tomorrow, he couldn't say it directly, as explaining such a thing would be quite troublesome.
Moreover, those people have no connection with Bai Feng Uesugi, so whatever happens to them is none of Bai Feng Uesugi's business, as long as Miyuki Shiba is alright.
What does it matter to him whether the others live or die?
"If we remain passive like this, something bad will happen to a student tomorrow."
"Miyuki Shiba I said with a sad expression."
Bai Feng Uesugi knew that Miyuki Shiba was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see her other classmates get into trouble.
" Miyuki, some things are beyond our control. All we can do is catch the culprit," Bai Feng Uesugi comforted her.
"Okay, Brother Bai Feng, I understand."
After being comforted by Bai Feng Uesugi Miyuki Shiba Miyuki's sadness about her classmate who might get hurt vanished instantly, replaced by a shy expression.
"Alright, the first round of the Mirage Bat Competition is about to begin. Let's go take a look," said Bai Feng Uesugi.
"Yes," Miyuki Shiba nodded in response.
Then, he linked arms with Bai Feng Uesugi and went to watch the game.
The scene of the first competition in the Mirage Bat event.
"First up is the first match that Kobayakawa -senpai will participate in," Tatsuya Shiba introduced.
"You seem really motivated, senior," said Miyuki Shiba.
"It's understandable that our performance in today's 'Mirage Bat' event is crucial to securing overall victory. Just try not to be overly nervous."
Bai Feng Uesugi looked at Kobayakawa on the field, a very cute upperclassman, but she was a little too nervous right now.
At this moment, she gripped her CAD tightly with both hands, and beads of sweat began to trickle down her forehead.
In the stands of the competition venue, Mizuki Shibata and others also came to watch the first match of Mirage Bat, but Mizuki Shibata was obviously different from usual at this time.
Erika Chiba was standing nearby, also saw this and asked about it.
" Mizuki, take your glasses off. Are you alright with so many people here?"
"To be honest, I'm feeling a bit down right now, but I don't think I can keep running away from my abilities," Mizuki Shibata said, her face showing distress.
"I don't think you're running away Mizuki," Erika Chiba said.
"Yes, but when you have no choice but to look, not facing what you can see is definitely a mistake. If I could have taken off my glasses when Watanabe -senpai was injured, I could have helped Bai Feng and the others a little."
Mizuki Shibata clutched her injured eye, her face filled with remorse as she spoke.
" Mizuki, even so, do you not wear your glasses all day? Is your body okay with that?"
Erika Chiba asked with a worried expression.
"If what Tatsuya and Uesugi suspect is true, and the other party really is using Spirit Magic to cause trouble, then Shibata's eyes are indeed the most reliable," Yoshida analyzed.
"I've set up a barrier around him to mitigate the stimulation from the spiritual energy radiation; that should make Shibata feel a bit better."
"Wow, I didn't expect you to be so sweet, Miki," Erika Chiba said in surprise.
"In that case, I'll have to leave Mizuki in your care today, Miki. Of course, it's a gentlemanly thing for a guy to take care of a girl."
"This isn't the time to talk about these things," Miki said helplessly.
"But the uses of Miki's abilities are rather special," Erika Chiba said excitedly.
"None of your business," Miki retorted.
Leo watched the two bickering from the side and sighed helplessly.
You have such a wicked heart.
" Erika, stop talking, the match has already started. Let's focus on watching the game," Mizuki Shibata reminded her.
On the field, Kobayakawa tried her best to score points, but due to excessive tension, her jump magic became somewhat rusty.
Just as Kobayakawa used CAD again, a black light flashed on the CAD screen.
Mizuki Shibata, who was watching the match at that moment, also witnessed this scene.
"Ah." Mizuki Shibata exclaimed in surprise without thinking, and Erika Chiba and the others all looked at Mizuki Shibata.
But before Mizuki Shibata could speak, an unexpected incident occurred on Kobayakawa's side.
As Kobayakawa leaped into the air, intending to use CAD to activate the next spell, he suddenly felt that CAD malfunctioned, and the spell also failed.
"Ah."
Kobayakawa let out a scream and then fell straight down from the sky.
The audience in the arena gasped in surprise, as such an event had never occurred in previous Mirage Bat, making today's unexpected incident truly shocking.
Fortunately, there was a referee present, who, at the crucial moment, used magic to catch Kobayakawa as she fell.
Kobayakawa had already fainted due to excessive fright.
The referee gently placed the unconscious Kobayakawa in a safe place and then began to call for medical personnel.
"The crisis experienced due to the failed magic spell led to doubts about magic, which will become the main reason why she can no longer cast spells. Senior Kobayakawa may never recover from this."
Watching the medical staff carry Kobayakawa away, Baifeng Uesugi analyzed the situation.
Just then, Tatsuya Shiba's terminal rang.
"Is that Mizuki?" Tatsuya Shiba, answering the terminal.
" Tatsuya- kun, um..."
Having not worn her glasses for a long time, Mizuki Shibata was visibly tired.
"Did you figure something out?" Tatsuya Shiba asked.
After all, Tatsuya Shiba didn't believe this incident was just a simple accident, and the fact that Mizuki Shibata contacted him at that time proved that it was that group of people who had taken action.
"Yes, Kobayakawa -senpai's CAD was radiating light... or rather, it felt more like an elf exploding with a 'pop'."
Mizuki Shibata described what she had just witnessed.
"I see, I see," Tatsuya Shiba replied.
"That..."
" Mizuki, you did a great job. That information was very useful," Tatsuya Shiba praised.
"Thank you so much." Mizuki Shibata was very pleased to hear Tatsuya Shiba's praise.
Previously, I always felt like I was a burden to everyone, but now that I can finally help them, Mizuki Shibata is very happy.
"Brother, what exactly happened?" Miyuki Shiba asked, puzzled.
" Mizuki just said she saw a special glow on Kobayakawa -senpai's CAD drawing," Tatsuya Shiba replied.
"Oh, if that's the case, it seems someone tampered with Kobayakawa -senpai's CAD software."
Baifeng Uesugi pondered.
"Is Miyuki's match later? Should we take the CAD software to do a pre-match computer check later?" Baifeng Uesugi asked.
"Yes," Tatsuya Shiba replied.
Since Baifeng Uesugi was injured, the task of adjusting the CAD has been entirely entrusted to Tatsuya Shiba Tatsuya Shiba handles other miscellaneous matters.
"I'll go with you during the checkup later," Baifeng Uesugi said.
"Yes."
" Miyuki, we'll be back soon," Baifeng Uesugi said to Miyuki Shiba.
"Mmm." Miyuki Shiba handed the CAD to Baifeng Uesugi and nodded obediently in response.
Military headquarters.
Technicians from various schools are bringing the contestants' CAD files to conduct relevant checks.
"Brother, do you suspect that someone tampered with the CAD during the inspection?" Tatsuya Shiba asked suspiciously.
"Well, after all, we did the CAD calibration ourselves before the competition. The technicians at First High School are all familiar people, so it's impossible for them to be insiders. Therefore, the problem lies in the period when the CAD was out of our sight."
"And this is the only time we have a chance to tamper with the CAD software. After we check it here, the CAD software won't let us check it again; it will be handed over directly to the contestants for the competition. So the chances of something going wrong here are very high," Baifeng Uesugi explained.
"Yes, elder brother, your analysis makes a lot of sense." Tatsuya Shiba nodded in agreement.
"Observe carefully when you go in later. If things don't look right, take action immediately," Baifeng Uesugi said coldly.
After all, these people have already started targeting Miyuki Shiba, Baifeng Uesugi can't just sit idly by. A dragon has its scales, and those who defy it will surely die. These people are now about to attack Miyuki Shiba; how can Baifeng Uesugi stand idly by?
"Yes, elder brother," Tatsuya Shiba replied.
Soon it was the turn of the CAD inspection at First High School. Baifeng Uesugi stepped forward and handed the CAD to the inspector.
Just as the prosecutors were reviewing the CAD's owner information, their pupils visibly dilated.
Baifeng Uesugi gestured to Tatsuya Shiba, instructing him to use the Elemental Sight to observe.
After all, these people tampered with the CAD software through magical programs, something that Baifeng Uesugi couldn't detect with the naked eye, nor could he detect it using perception magic. The only way was to check the CAD software's magical programs again.
But Tatsu Shiba is different; he possesses the Elemental Sight, which allows him to detect any tampering they might be doing, no matter where it is Elemental Sight.
Tatsuya Shiba understood Baifeng Uesugi's meaning and immediately activated the Elemental Sight.
Just as the testing instrument swept across Miyuki Shiba's CAD, Tatsuya Shiba saw a black light flash.
"Brother, it's a virus and some other things, but I don't know what the other things are yet," Tatsuya Shiba whispered.
"Heh, Tatsuya, we really underestimated you. You dared to tamper with things right under our noses."
