After informing him that the Katsuto Jumonji magic had been optimized, the other party immediately responded that he would return to test it right away. Hearing this, Baifeng Uesugi couldn't help but feel a little helpless: he thought that Katsuto Jumonji wouldn't be in such a hurry, and he had planned to have him come back for testing tomorrow! However, this was fine too, so that the testing could start as soon as possible and end as quickly as possible, so that he could devote himself to the in-depth exploration of the Innate Magic.
Not long after, Katsuto Jumonji arrived. Upon receiving the news, Baifeng Uesugi left the laboratory and headed towards the living room. However, when he entered the living room, he saw an unexpected figure— Mayumi Saegusa was sitting on the sofa, leisurely watching a television program.
"Mayumi, what are you doing here?" Baifeng Uesugi asked, looking at the elegant woman before him with a surprised expression.
Mayumi Saegusa gently turned her head, a hint of sorrow in her eyes. " Bai Feng, you've finally come out..."
Just as the two were talking, Maya Yotsuba slowly walked downstairs from the second floor and interjected to explain, " Bai Feng, Mayumi arrived yesterday, but seeing you so engrossed in your work, she didn't want to disturb you."
"You two?" Baifeng Uesugi looked at Maya Yotsuba and Mayumi Saegusa with suspicion, wondering to himself. He keenly sensed an unusually harmonious atmosphere between the two, as if they had some kind of tacit understanding or intimate relationship.
Maya Yotsuba noticed Baifeng Uesugi's questioning look, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips. She patted Baifeng Uesugi's shoulder lightly and said in a relaxed tone, "What's wrong? Little one, we're family now. Aren't we allowed to get along well and strengthen our bond?"
Upon hearing this, Baifeng Uesugi immediately felt embarrassed and quickly waved his hand to explain, "Uh, Sister Maya, please don't misunderstand. Of course I didn't mean that! I'm just very happy to see you all getting along so well."
A sly glint flashed in Maya Yotsuba's eyes as she deliberately teased:
"Oh? Are you a little disappointed because you didn't see the scene you wanted to see?"
"How could that be? Sister Maya, you're overthinking it. I completely approve of you all getting along so well!" Baifeng Uesugi hurriedly explained, a fine layer of sweat even appearing on his forehead. He secretly thought to himself that if these women could get along harmoniously, that would be the best thing ever. After all, who wouldn't want to enjoy such a wonderful life, surrounded by beautiful women?
Just then, Baifeng Uesugi suddenly remembered something important. "Oh, right, Sister Maya, Jumonji- senpai has been waiting for me at the door for a long time. He needs me to help him test the optimized magic. I'm sorry, Sister Maya, I have to go find him first, so I won't be able to keep you company for now. I'll come back to keep you company after I finish testing."
After saying that, Baifeng Uesugi hurriedly stood up and prepared to walk towards the door. However, when he was halfway there, he turned back as if he remembered something and gave Maya Yotsuba an apologetic smile.
Maya Yotsuba Baifeng Uesugi, her eyes filled with affection. She said softly, "Okay, then you should go quickly. I've already instructed the servants to prepare a sumptuous meal. When you come back later, make sure you have some nourishment. You look quite haggard these past few days, and you even look a bit disheveled. You need to take good care of yourself, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Baifeng Uesugi felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He nodded gratefully, then turned and quickly left, leaving Maya Yotsuba and the other girls chatting in the living room.
When Baifeng Uesugi arrived at the area specially prepared for testing magic, he found that Katsuto Jumonji was already there, so he went over to him.
" Bai Feng, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting here for quite a while, about ten minutes now." Katsuto Jumonji saw Baifeng Uesugi's figure from afar and couldn't wait to greet him.
"I'm so sorry, Jumonji- senpai, for keeping you waiting. I ran into Mayumi when I arrived, so we chatted for a while longer." Baifeng Uesugi explained apologetically about being late, but a hint of helplessness welled up inside him: Was it really necessary to be in such a hurry? Magic doesn't just grow legs and run away.
"Oh? Mayumi's here?" Katsuto Jumonji looked surprised, then immediately recalled what Koichi Saegusa had said a few days ago, and suddenly realized, a slight smile appearing on his lips as he said, "Then I really must congratulate Junior Bai Feng."
"You flatter me Jumonji- senpai. Let's get started on the magic test." Baifeng Uesugi smiled calmly and changed the subject.
The two then began testing the optimized Phalanx, starting with its defensive aspects.
As Baifeng Uesugi operated the terminal, numerous firearms appeared around them.
The Katsuto Jumonji also used an optimized Phalanx.
" Bai Feng Shiro, I'm ready." Katsuto Jumonji looked firmly at Baifeng Uesugi above him and nodded slightly to indicate that he was ready. After receiving the response, Baifeng Uesugi did not hesitate to start manipulating his weapon and launch a fierce attack on the incredibly sturdy Phalanx in front of him.
Surprisingly, after a barrage of fire, the Katsuto Jumonji, who was positioned behind the Phalanx, was completely unharmed!
"Junior Brother Bai Feng, I can sense that the defensive power of this Phalanx has significantly improved compared to before!"
Despite the limited power of his weapon, the most proficient Katsuto Jumonji, still managed to detect the change with his keen insight—the defensive power of the Phalanx had clearly become stronger.
"That's right. I not only enhanced its defenses, but also made specific adjustments to its impact resistance and portability. Next, we will test its impact resistance and portability together."
Baifeng Uesugi explained that, considering the close relationship between the two, he decided to combine the two projects for testing.
"Understood." Katsuto Jumonji nodded slightly in agreement.
As Baifeng Uesugi's finger rapidly swiped and clicked on the terminal screen, several lifelike mannequins and a few thick, sturdy walls suddenly appeared in the empty space in the blink of an eye.
