"New magic?"
Mayumi Saegusa tilted her head and looked at Miyuki Shiba, her eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.
"Hmm, this is a spell that suits me quite well. Compared to ' Inferno,' this Psion consumes less energy and is more powerful."
Miyuki Shiba explained.
You'll find out soon enough.
Accompanied by the clatter of keyboard keys, Chiba Yeyou's voice came through.
Mayumi Saegusa and the others couldn't help but feel a little excited about the upcoming match, while Tatsuya Shiba stood behind Chiba Yeyou, carefully studying Chiba Yeyou's code. He would sometimes frown, sometimes suddenly realize something, and then look at Chiba Yeyou some admiration.
Icicle Destruction arena.
On the giant screen, information about two contestants was displayed on the left and right sides: Ayaka Shimizu from Fourth High School on the left and Miyuki Shiba from First High School on the right.
"Is this rookie battle anything to watch?"
A girl in a red school uniform complained to someone next to her. Clearly, this person didn't want to waste time here. Anyone who could say something like that was definitely an upperclassman. They must have participated in at least one Nine Schools Competition, so they found the rookie tournament somewhat boring. Apart from the few rookies they were focusing on, the others were not worth observing.
"This is the women's Icicle Destruction competition!"
What happened to the women's team?
The girl looked at the male classmate with some curiosity.
"Have you forgotten the old tradition of Icicle Destruction in the women's team?"
Another male classmate reminded him.
This so-called old tradition naturally refers to a chaotic free-for-all of costume styles!
How could they not know?
"Cut!"
"A bunch of idiots!"
"Just to clarify, we're just SPs, but we're not old!" x2
These unanimous words silenced the female classmates nearby.
"Seriously, are you really going to dress like this?"
Looking at the kimono-clad girl in front of her, Chiba Yeyou wondered if this girl was really here for the competition.
"How?"
Is there a problem?
Miyuki Shiba looked at Chiba Yeyou and asked him a question, then looked at her brother.
"It suits you perfectly!"
Tatsuya Shiba smiled slightly, looking like a valiant older brother supporting his younger sister.
Chiba Yeyou felt uneasy. Good heavens, I'm still here!
So this is how it begins?
"Alright, hurry up and go to the match, get on the field!"
After saying that, he ignored the two of them and quickly walked towards the venue.
On the left side of the arena, Chiba Yeyou sat looking towards the center of the arena where the props were already prepared.
"Contestants, please take your positions!"
Then, two elevators simultaneously brought up a girl from each end of the arena. She wore a loose white robe on top and a red skirt on the bottom, with a silver hair clip on her head and a flower at her waist. She was a typical Yamato Nadeshiko, a girl in a kimono!
The other one looked more normal, wearing a pink top, a wristband on his right wrist, and a baseball cap, looking like a baseball player—well, not exactly serious either!
"Wow!!!"
"That girl in the kimono is so pretty!"
"That girl in the baseball uniform is pretty good too!"
"Really!"
"The women's Icicle Destruction competition is definitely a must-see!"
"The women's Icicle Destruction competition is the best!"
"President, when did this competition start to look like this?"
Chiba Yeyou listened to the various discussions around her. The scene was incredibly lively, even more so than shopping in a mall or night market. However, the topics of discussion seemed to have nothing to do with the competition, and occasionally they were even a bit frivolous.
"How?"
"Isn't it beautiful?"
Instead of answering Mayumi Saegusa Chiba Yeyou asked for his opinion.
"I think my student council president would look even better in a kimono!"
Please let me see it!
Chiba Yeyou looked at Mayumi Saegusa, as if she were making an important request.
Mayumi Saegusa rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. She was willing to bet that if she said even a single word that hinted at agreement, he would immediately agree with it.
So, it's best not to tease him.
"It's really hard to say exactly when it happened, since nobody really cares about these things. From the very beginning, the Nine Schools Competition never stipulated what uniforms were required for the competition; only certain specific competitions had such regulations."
"However!"
"Doing this can help the contestants relax and boost their confidence!"
"Why aren't we watching the match in the players' preparation area? Why are we here?"
Mari Watanabe spoke up.
"Wouldn't that feel better?"
"Ding~"
"Ding~"
"Thump!"
As the starting signal sounded, the two players quickly began operating the CAD software. Two beams of light emanated from the werewolf's body. However, it was clear that Miyuki Shiba was quite confident. He only started operating the CAD software after his opponent had started, but this allowed him to gain the upper hand despite being a latecomer.
" Miyuki's magic casting speed has increased!"
Mayumi Saegusa and Mari Watanabe both exclaimed in surprise.
After spending so much time together, the two of them believed they had a certain understanding of Miyuki Shiba, but the speed at which she was activating this magic was something that Miyuki Shiba in her normal state could not do.
"Has Miyuki -senpai become this strong without us even realizing it?"
Mayumi Saegusa murmured to herself, somewhat lost in thought.
It should be noted that the speed at which Miyuki is currently casting magic is beyond their comprehension.
"How is this possible!"
"Oh my god!"
Is this really a newcomer?
"You should really say, is this something a high school student could do?!"
There was a flurry of discussion and exclamations of amazement on the field.
"This should be even faster than Liu's, right?"
Tatsuya Shiba somewhat surprised. Although he had looked at the code, this speed still exceeded his expectations.
Let me ask you this: I can cast three spells while you can only cast one. How are you going to fight me?
"It seems to be a characteristic of this magic!"
After thinking for a moment, Tatsuya Shiba said to himself with certainty.
He knew his younger sister's skill level very well. She was indeed very strong, but not to this extent. This was almost on par with his " Flash Cast "!
A fierce blizzard suddenly swept through the ice pillar arena in front of Miyuki Shiba, and the temperature plummeted to an appalling level. The ground itself began to succumb to the frigid heat, cracking open in numerous fissures. As the ice pillars rapidly crumbled, they vanished, their massive forms shrinking at a visible pace!
The opponent was clearly flustered by this, but quickly regained his composure and changed his plan. The CAD operation became even faster, and the attack intention was temporarily altered. Finally, the magic was successfully activated.
However, it was no use anymore. The ice pillar matrix exploded with a roar, unable to withstand the biting cold wind any longer, and disappeared completely.
Magic: " Extreme Cold Region "!
