"I'm Masaki Ichijo -year student at Third High School!"
"Fellow first-year student at Third High School, Shinkuro Kichijoji!"
Chiba Yeyou was walking along the road, she suddenly heard two voices ahead. She instinctively looked ahead and saw two men in dark red clothes standing in front of Tatsuya Shiba and Miyuki Shiba, introducing themselves.
"I'm Tatsuya Shiba, a first-year student at First High School."
Tatsuya Shiba introduced himself.
"So, what brings ' Crimson Prince ' and ' Cardinal George ' together before the match?"
Tatsuya Shiba narrowed his eyes, looking at the two with great confusion.
Upon hearing Tatsuya Shiba's question, the two did not speak, but instead looked behind Tatsuya Shiba and Miyuki Shiba.
"This must be Chiba Yeyou."
Masaki Ichijo saw Chiba Yeyou, his expression became slightly serious. Although the guy in front of him was also very strong, he was not a contestant and could not be encountered. But the guy behind him was different. Not only did he annihilate the Third High School of them in the " Icicle Destruction " event, but he was Tatsuya Shiba!
Because these two Third High School have basically never won in women's events; the ones they did win were in events that the First High School didn't participate in.
Fortunately, the boys' team from First High School was terrible. You could say that Third High School could always beat them and rarely made a mistake. From this perspective, Masaki Ichijo is quite grateful to his male classmates from First High School, otherwise their total score would be hard to even reach third place!
After all, Mari Watanabe's projects are currently running smoothly, with consistent wins and no major surprises.
Tatsuya Shiba and Miyuki Shiba also turned around and looked behind them. Sure enough, Chiba Yeyou walked over with a calm expression.
"Oh?"
"I never expected to be remembered by the two of you. What, have I, an ordinary person, gained some kind of fame?"
Chiba Yeyou was actually quite curious about the two people opposite her. One of them discovered the Cardinal Code after disappearing, and the other joined the army at a young age. The strength of these two people was not comparable to that of ordinary high school students. Even when standing with those stronger beings, they would be among the top. This combination could be said to be invincible!
It's a bit of a pity. If it weren't for that freak Tatsuya Shiba standing in their way, the Third High School might have won this year's Nine Schools Competition. I can't help but feel sorry for those two. Now, not only is there one Tatsuya Shiba there's also another version of myself.
"Indeed, I had never heard of you before the Nine Schools Competition, but from today onwards, I will remember the name Chiba Yeyou."
Shinkuro Kichijoji looked at Chiba Yeyou very carefully, as if he really wanted to imprint this person firmly in his mind.
"Oh?"
"That's truly an honor!"
Chiba Yeyou, as if she were truly honored.
" Tatsuya Shiba, this is the first time I've heard this name before, but your outstanding achievements have also left a deep impression on me. I won't forget them. You two should be the most talented technicians since the Nine Schools Competition!"
Shinkuro Kichijoji also scrutinized Tatsuya Shiba, examining him closely.
"It seems you two both know us!"
"However, that's even better. We just wanted to see you two: one a genius magician who completely and safely crushed our Third High School in one project, and the other a genius technician as well. You're both quite worthy of our attention, aren't you?"
Masaki Ichijo's gaze kept sweeping back and forth between Tatsuya Shiba and Chiba Yeyou, finally settling on Tatsuya Shiba and answering his question.
"To be hailed as a genius by a prodigy who discovered one of the Cardinal Code at the tender age of thirteen and by a renowned figure in the military known as the Prince—I am truly flattered!"
"However, your behavior is indeed illogical!"
It's worth noting that the preparation rooms for the Third High School and the First High School are not on the same side, so it's hard not to have some suspicions about their sudden greeting.
" Miyuki, you go and prepare."
Miyuki Shiba glanced at Tatsuya Shiba, then nodded and walked away silently, with Masaki Ichijo watching her go.
"You two are really taking it easy!"
"You even had time to come and visit Tatsuya and me? Shouldn't we be incredibly grateful?"
Chiba Yeyou looked at the two of them with great interest, which made the two of them subconsciously tense up.
"Prince, shouldn't you be going to play soon?"
Tatsuya Shiba glanced at Chiba Yeyou, then spoke.
"We're going to participate in tomorrow's ' Monolith Code,' what about you?"
Shinkuro Kichijoji knew that Chiba Yeyou had only participated in one " Icicle Destruction " challenge, but they didn't know if either of them would be in charge of tomorrow's " Monolith Code," which is why they asked this question.
"Don't worry, neither Tatsuya nor I will take responsibility for that side!"
Looking at Shinkuro Kichijoji's face, which was even more expressionless than Tatsuya Shiba's, Chiba Yeyou suddenly felt that Tatsuya Shiba more endearing. After all, Shiba Tatsumi was detached from emotions but not expressionless, unlike this guy...
It's a long story!
"Is that so?"
"That's a real shame!"
A hint of provocation suddenly appeared on Shinkuro Kichijoji's expressionless face.
"I really hope that one day I can compete on the same stage as the players you're in charge of!"
"As for you, I'd much rather we compete face-to-face!"
Shinkuro Kichijoji suddenly looked at Chiba Yeyou and said seriously.
"Can I consider this a challenge?"
"Can!"
Shinkuro Kichijoji answered Chiba Yeyou's question without hesitation.
"But it's a pity, I look forward to the day we face off!"
"Of course, we will definitely win!"
"..."
"..."
Chiba Yeyou and Tatsuya Shiba fell silent.
"I've taken up your valuable time."
"However, I look forward to seeing you all again."
After finishing his Masaki Ichijo left with Shinkuro Kichijoji.
"Call!"
Chiba Yeyou and Tatsuya Shiba exchanged a glance and simultaneously let out a sigh of relief, feeling utterly helpless.
"Just admit you're gathering intelligence, why make it sound so high-sounding? Are all the Ten Master Clans like this?"
Chiba Yeyou looked at Tatsuya Shiba with great curiosity.
"Well..."
Tatsuya Shiba know how to answer either; it seemed that most people were like that.
As for the fact that this guy in front of him knew about his Ten Master Clans identity, his sister had already told him, but he wasn't that wary of Chiba Yeyou anymore.
After spending so much time together, he found that Chiba Yeyou was a very good person. Although she was a bit lazy at times, she had indeed helped his sister a lot, and he was truly Chiba Yeyou to her.
have to!
He knew it from Tatsuya Shiba's speechless expression.
However, Shinkuro Kichijoji really needs a peaceful exchange!
