The inspectors were taken away, but the farce wasn't over yet.
" Chiba Yeyou- kun, it's about time to head back and leave."
"You can use the backup CAD software."
"You don't need to bring the CAD file for inspection anymore."
After Retsu Kudou finished speaking, he looked at the senior members of the Operations Committee behind him, his expression quite unpleasant.
"The fact that someone on the Operations Committee has engaged in misconduct is an unprecedented scandal!"
Upon hearing Retsu Kudou's words, the group turned pale.
"You'd better explain this to me properly later!"
Seeing this, Chiba Yeyou that since this bad apple had been eliminated, there was no need for him to get in the way. The rest was an internal matter for the Operations Committee and had nothing to do with him.
" Chiba Yeyou, your magical talent is the highest I have ever seen. I hope you will use your power with caution."
Just as Chiba Yeyou turned to walk away, Retsu Kudou suddenly spoke.
I don't like causing trouble.
"Yes, we can have a good chat sometime."
"Good."
Chiba Yeyou nodded and then walked outside.
I don't like causing trouble, but I'm not afraid of it either!
Chiba Yeyou thought to himself with a touch of humor.
The First High School Area.
"I'm back!"
Chiba Yeyou looked at the people inside the tent, mainly at Mayumi Saegusa.
"You just made a move?"
"What's wrong?"
Chiba Yeyou looked at Mayumi Saegusa, somewhat puzzled.
Are you alright?
Upon hearing Chiba Yeyou's words Mayumi Saegusa immediately reached out and began to search and examine Chiba Yeyou's body.
What could possibly be wrong with me?
Seeing this, Chiba Yeyou could only raise her hands and Mayumi Saegusa examine her.
"Don't be so impulsive in the future. What if the other party uses some underhanded tactics?"
I don't want you to get hurt.
Mayumi Saegusa was relieved after checking everything and finding no problems.
"However, speaking of which, you actually dared to make a move in the Operations Committee's work area. You've got some nerve!"
Mari Watanabe walked over and remarked with some admiration.
"Trying to sabotage the players I'm responsible for by pulling dirty tricks in front of me is a complete disrespect to me. I'm definitely going to teach them a lesson!"
Is that really the case?
Chiba Yeyou spoke as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, but Mari Watanabe didn't believe him.
Not only Mari Watanabe didn't believe it, Mayumi Saegusa Tatsuya Shiba didn't believe it.
"All right."
"I tried using some forceful methods to see if I could extract any useful information."
Chiba Yeyou stopped joking and began to explain seriously.
And the result?
Tatsuya Shiba inquired.
"Clearly, nothing was gained."
Chiba Yeyou shrugged.
"That guy isn't a key figure, or even a peripheral one. I seriously doubt he's even met anyone he's been in contact with."
"It seems the mastermind behind this is planning something more."
Mayumi Saegusa looked worried.
"Let's meet force with force and water with earth!"
August 11th.
Main competition, Mirage Bat, Round 2.
"How's that magic practice going?"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely win!"
Mari Watanabe looked at Chiba Yeyou with a confident expression.
"Then let's give them a little surprise from First High School!"
"Learn!"
"So, don't you have anything to say?"
Mari Watanabe swayed her slender waist, her eyes constantly gesturing towards Chiba Yeyou.
"Senior Mari, when did you become so feminine?"
"What did you say?"
Mari Watanabe was furious upon hearing Chiba Yeyou's words.
"Cough cough cough..."
"This suits you perfectly, senior!"
"Snort!"
That's more like it!
On the field, each contestant stood on a circular pillar, holding a CAD file, ready at any moment.
"Players, to your positions!"
"Thump!"
As the competition began, one by one, people dressed in pink outfits that looked like elves danced gracefully in the air, sometimes rising and sometimes falling.
However, there was one person who was different from them all, and that was Mari Watanabe. This guy hovered in the air and rushed towards one target after another, sweeping across the entire arena with all sorts of completely unreasonable trajectories.
"What?"
The people around were completely stunned.
"How is this possible?"
Every time Mari Watanabe brushed past a contestant, that contestant's mindset would subtly shift.
"Thump!"
The match ended quickly due to Mari Watanabe's reckless and aggressive play. The entire match was a personal stage show for Mari Watanabe, with all the other contestants relegated to supporting roles.
"It's flight magic!"
When was this developed?
How come I didn't know?
"It seems someone posted this last month!"
Tatsuya Shiba glanced at Chiba Yeyou beside him, not too surprised. The flying magic that person mentioned, which had been published last month, was developed by Tatsuya Shiba himself. Chiba Yeyou already had the ability to fly before that.
However, according to Chiba Yeyou, it wasn't a magic for flying, but merely a way to gain the ability to fly.
" Tatsuya, the Operations Committee will definitely be coming to ask for the formula for flight magic later. Could you please help me?"
Chiba Yeyou suddenly turned around and spoke to Tatsuya Shiba.
So you knew who I was.
Tatsuya Shiba's pupils contracted slightly. He had always felt that Chiba Yeyou. Silver never expected that it would actually come true.
"While your magical abilities may not be outstanding, your magical crafting skills are exceptionally powerful. Furthermore, you possess the most advanced CAD technology from Yotsuba Clan Technology. With such unique abilities, it's hard not to notice, isn't it?"
Is that really the case?
What do you think?
That's right, everyone has their own secrets. There's no need to pry. As long as the other person isn't hostile and genuinely wants to be your friend, that's fine.
Leave it to me!
Tatsuya Shiba nodded.
It seems that Chiba Yeyou's magic is quite unique!
Looking at the happy Mari Watanabe in the arena and the disappointed and unwilling competitors around her, Chiba Yeyou didn't feel that this was unfair. Who told your mechanics to be incompetent?
However, the Tournament Operations Committee wouldn't see it that way.
Sure enough, not long after, someone came and took away Tatsuya Shiba's flying magic formula.
The so-called inspection was actually just a way to ensure fairness by having all contestants use flight magic.
Consider it a favor I owe you.
"Is it inconvenient for you to reveal that magic?"
"Um."
"It's a deal then, you owe me a favor."
"You care so much about a favor I did for you!"
Chiba Yeyou smiled as she looked at Tatsuya Shiba.
"If it were someone else's, I probably wouldn't care, but yours, I care a lot!"
Tatsuya Shiba nodded with a serious expression.
"I think I've lost out!"
Chiba Yeyou patted her head in slight regret.
