"Is he insane?!"
After seeing a flash of red light, Mayumi Saegusa was startled to jump up from her seat as a huge, thick, and incredibly white pillar of light slammed down from mid-air onto the ice pillar matrix in front of Rin Kudou.
She still vividly remembers that fiery hell; how could such terrifying magic be used in a Nine Schools Competition competition?
"Don't get excited, Saegusa. I believe Chiba Yeyou won't use such terrifying magic; after all, this is just a competition."
We must believe him!
The Jumonji" spoke up to remind him.
Sure enough, as soon as the Jumonji finished Kanon, the white pillar of light split into several, each of which enveloped an ice pillar. Then, the entire ice pillar began to burn eerily.
That's right, it's burning!
How is that possible?
"Water can actually be burned as fuel?"
Does such magic exist?
When was it developed?
"That's right!"
How come I didn't know?
"How could such magic exist?"
Why is water used as fuel?
"This is completely unreasonable, isn't it?"
Not only was Rin Kudou stunned, but the audience was also stunned. This kind of magic, which was beyond their understanding, was incomprehensible and hard to accept.
The fire burned silently, without any water vapor or evaporation, without making a sound. It burned eerily, and when the flames reached their peak, they suddenly went out. The whole process took less than two seconds!
A deathly silence fell over the scene, followed by an explosion of energy.
We won!
He really won!
All that remained for a moment was cheering. To hell with all the confusion and the shock to our understanding!
This moment belongs only to the victors' dazzling moment!
"We won!"
Mayumi Saegusa stared intently at the figure in First High School uniform standing on the elevator platform, her eyes sparkling as if she wanted to capture the figure in her gaze.
"See? I told you Chiba Yeyou come up with a suitable response, didn't I?"
Seeing Mayumi Saegusa's expression, Jumonji made a rare teasing remark at her.
Mayumi Saegusa turned around and glanced at this guy who basically didn't change his expression, then rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.
"You've stood up too!"
"..."
The Jumonji" was completely speechless.
That's right, he was actually worried just now. After spending so much time with him, he also discovered that Chiba Yeyou was a very special guy, with a somewhat lawless personality. So when he saw the white pillar of light, he was a little excited, but the words he uttered were just words of comfort.
"Is this the magic used in that incident?!"
Suzune Ichihara's eyes were also sparkling. She wasn't there that time, and the news was later blocked, so he only had a vague idea of what happened and didn't know the specifics. As for the details, he had no way of knowing them.
"What's the name of this spell?"
Suzune Ichihara was holding a small notebook, looking at Mayumi Saegusa a question while writing something down.
Upon hearing Suzune Ichihara's question, everyone around turned their attention to Mayumi Saegusa.
"It seems to be called ' Flame Hell '!"
"Why do I feel like Chiba Yeyou can freely control the range and power level of her magic?"
After a long silence, Mari Watanabe suddenly spoke.
"Why?"
"Can't you just practice repeatedly to control the power of magic?"
Honoka Mitsui looked at Mari Watanabe with great confusion.
"No!"
Tatsuya Shiba suddenly spoke up, rejecting Honoka Mitsui's idea.
"That's not the point; some of us have seen this magic before."
As he spoke, he looked at Mayumi Saegusa and Jumonji, who both nodded in agreement.
"That spell could be considered pseudo-strategic, but this spell has been compressed into an extremely narrow range, and its power has been controlled with extreme precision."
"Look there!"
Tatsuya Shiba pointed to the spot where the ice pillar matrix had been placed. The ice pillars had been cleared away, but surprisingly, the intense flames had no effect on the ground. The charred remains and other debris that should have been present were completely absent.
"Hiss!"
Mari Watanabe and the others gasped in shock.
"Such precise control over magic!"
A look of surprise appeared on Shizuku Kitayama's face.
"This level of magic isn't something that can be easily suppressed or its range controlled. The computational complexity of suppressing this level of magic increases exponentially. Could it be that he..."
Suzune Ichihara suddenly looked up at Chiba Yeyou in the arena, her expression one of utter shock, as if she had seen some terrifying monster.
"..."
Everyone fell silent after hearing Suzune Ichihara's analysis.
Tatsuya Shiba was equally puzzled; could such magical calculations truly exist?
It's important to understand that the release of magic can be considered a kind of guidance of a phenomenon, and interference with matter also needs to follow certain rules. Just like his strategic anti-magic spell. " Mass Explosion," it would be impossible for him to compress " Mass Explosion " into this shape!
But Chiba Yeyou actually did it!
Therefore, Chiba Yeyou's method can definitely reduce the amount of computation significantly.
While Tatsuya Shiba was pondering, he failed to notice his younger sister's unusual behavior.
Unlike the last time when she observed from a distance, this time the magic was released at very close range, which made Miyuki Shiba feel a sense of familiarity.
Yes, it's like the multiple spell casting ability that Chiba Yeyou taught her, a skill she still can't master!
"Isn't that a bit of a foul?"
Inside another room, Chiba Yeyou's match was also being watched.
"Indeed, this guy's strength is so high that it's hard to find someone with this kind of ability even in the military, let alone a high school student."
Liu continued.
" Kyouko, can you analyze it?"
Major Kazama looked at Kyoko Fujibayashi.
"The magical structure is very complex, but its combustion properties completely defy the rules of combustion. I judge that conventional fire extinguishing methods are probably useless and cannot stop the combustion of the material. The level of the magic is at least A-rank or higher."
Kyoko Fujibayashi frowned as she continued to analyze the situation.
"Is it impossible to analyze other data related to the magic?"
There's nothing we can do for now.
Kyoko Fujibayashi's answer was very straightforward.
Major Kazama remained silent.
While Harunobu Kazama and the others were focusing on Chiba Yeyou, another person was sitting in a chair on the top floor of the Tournament Operations Committee, watching the competition.
This is an elderly man with white hair; just sitting there, he exudes an aura of authority.
"That's impressive!"
"How exquisite!"
"It's actually possible to compress multiple spells?"
"Yes, and there are some other things too."
"Using micro-magic to form a small magical cluster, and then using the magical cluster to form a large magical spell—that's quite an unconventional form of magic!"
