The CAD testing site for the First High School area is a separate open space, where tents have been erected to store equipment for the Operations Committee staff and to conduct pre-competition testing.
There were people guarding the perimeter of the tent to prevent anyone from colluding with the staff inside. Therefore, there were people watching the entire testing process, including the personnel in charge of the testing. However, Chiba Yeyou felt that it was more of a symbolic gesture.
At the opening of the tent stood a row of maintenance engineers from various universities. Although they wore different uniforms, they all had one thing in common: they all carried various CAD software.
Listening to the constant sounds of machines operating inside, the people on the wall left one by one. Finally, after the person in front of Chiba Yeyou finished their test, it was Chiba Yeyou's turn.
"Next!"
Upon hearing the sound, Chiba Yeyou placed Mari Watanabe's spare CAD on the control panel. The guy quickly identified the player information in the CAD and began operating it continuously.
Chiba Yeyou clearly saw that this guy's pupils contracted slightly when he saw Mari Watanabe's information.
interesting!
Chiba Yeyou humorously and subtly unfolded the " Quantum Domain ".
After this guy made his move, a blue aurora began to slowly sweep across the CAD.
In Chiba Yeyou's eyes, the CAD itself hadn't changed at all; it all seemed like a simple check. This made Chiba Yeyou somewhat suspicious. Could it really not be this guy, but someone else?
After all, the difference between anime and live-action is enormous, and for a moment Chiba Yeyou really couldn't figure out whether the member of the organizing committee in front of her was friend or foe.
Just as the CAD test was about to be completed, an abnormal piece of code suddenly intruded into the CAD system.
Chiba Yeyou didn't rush to make a move, and just watched as the guy finished his operation.
"Next."
When the people behind tried to step forward, Chiba Yeyou stopped them with a gesture.
The maintenance worker clearly recognized Chiba Yeyou, or at least had witnessed Chiba Yeyou's display of power. Upon seeing this, he stopped and watched with curiosity.
Are you sure the test is complete?
Chiba Yeyou didn't even glance at the CAD on the table, simply looking indifferently at the member of the Operations Committee's inspection team.
"Student, I've finished the inspection. Please don't disturb my work or delay other people from performing CAD inspections."
The inspector remained calm and did not reveal any flaws.
"Oh?"
Are you sure?
"Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Chiba Yeyou looked at the other person and smiled.
Then, he pulled out a CAD tool from his pocket and pointed it at the businesslike inspector.
What are you doing?
"Put the CAD file down right now!"
Those nearby were startled when they saw Chiba Yeyou pull out the CAD, and immediately became anxious.
"Put aside CAD for whatever comes up; we can deal with it slowly!"
"I don't consider myself as kind Tatsuya Shiba, so I'm asking you one last time, are you sure there's nothing wrong with this CAD file right now?"
Chiba Yeyou's expression also turned cold.
"Or you can simply tell me the faction, name, and coordinates of the person who instructed you to infiltrate the CAD using the detection device."
"I... I don't know what you're talking about?"
The inspector finally started to panic, his voice trembling slightly.
As the team in charge of the Nine Schools Competition, they couldn't just appoint someone with unknown information, so this guy was most likely bribed.
"I'm just doing my normal job..."
"Buzz!"
"Ah!"
A beam of pure white fiber pierced through the inspector's left shoulder; his left arm had been magically severed, causing him to break out in a cold sweat and scream in agony.
The two people who rushed in were also shocked by Chiba Yeyou's decisiveness and ruthlessness.
However, they also understood that the guy in charge of inspecting the CAD probably tampered with the contestant's CAD file and the contestant found out.
For a moment, the members of both Operations Committee were also at a loss as to what to do.
"It seems you don't want to reveal anything at all."
"Then what's the point of your life?"
After glancing at this guy, Chiba Yeyou knew that no matter how incompetent the members of the Operations Committee were, she couldn't be the one to execute them. So she decided to try again to see if this guy really didn't know, or if they didn't care about him, or if they had cut off the contact between him and the person who was in contact with him.
We should give it a try no matter what.
Whether there are any good results or not, let's try our luck a couple of times first.
What happened?
"They're actually using magic to attack here?"
Just as Chiba Yeyou was about to raise the CAD to scare the guy, a voice came over.
The appearance of this voice brought those still in shock at Chiba Yeyou You's audacity in attacking without any restraint back to their senses.
Chiba Yeyou turned around and glanced at the person who had come in; it turned out to be Retsu Kudou.
Chiba Yeyou thought she would miss Retsu Kudou's affair because of the time difference.
"So it's Kudou Kushima."
"The CAD testing personnel of the Operations Committee tampered with the CAD files of our school's contestants, intending to disrupt their performance in this way."
"We were just interrogating the prisoner."
Retsu Kudou gestured to the person next to him, who then took the CAD software from the control panel.
Meanwhile, the two people who had entered earlier also detained the inspector.
"I see."
"If I remember correctly, you're Chiba Yeyou from First High School, right?"
Retsu Kudou stepped forward, his gaze fixed with some curiosity on the young man who had become famous overnight because of the Nine Schools Competition.
"That's right."
"Yesterday's game was exciting, but..."
"Never mind, just focus on completing your studies."
Retsu Kudou wanted to say something, but then gave up.
He turned his gaze to the CAD file his assistant handed him.
"Yes, there is indeed a foreign object mixed in."
"That was when I was still serving in the military. After that ancient country in the east mysteriously disappeared, the Cosmic Nation, with the strong support of Europe and America, brazenly occupied the East Sea Islands. The magicians of the Cosmic Army used this kind of Electronic Golden Silkworm."
Upon hearing this, a look of despair flashed across the pale-faced inspector.
" Electronic Golden Silkworm are delayed-action techniques used to infiltrate electronic devices and cause them to malfunction."
"Our army suffered a lot before figuring out how this thing worked."
Retsu Kudou seemed lost in memories as he recounted the origins of the Electronic Golden Silkworm in great detail.
Do you know what this is?
"No, this is the first time I've seen this either, but I can still tell if my system has been hacked."
Chiba Yeyou only knew the name; he didn't actually know what this thing was or had ever seen it before.
"Um."
"Your eyesight is surprisingly good!"
Retsu Kudou gave Chiba Yeyou a meaningful look.
If someone says the word 'look' at you, it might mean they noticed something unusual through some kind of reaction. But Chiba Yeyou might actually have seen it.
Ultimately, when it comes to micro-level operations, this seems to be the only known case in the world so far.
"So, where did you get this technique from?"
