August 12
Main competition, Monolith Code, semi-finals.
"This match shouldn't be too suspenseful."
Chiba Yeyou looked at the three unknown contestants from No. First High School on the field. Although she was not familiar with them, their magical abilities were quite impressive, and it was obvious that they had used certain tactics. From the very beginning, the opponents were on the defensive, and it seemed that the outcome would not be any unexpected changes.
"Yes, we made ample preparations for this semi-final."
Mayumi Saegusa nodded; they were confident of advancing to the finals.
"Yesterday I went out with the Tatsuya to take care of some things."
Chiba Yeyou watched the match and said quietly.
"Um."
Mayumi Saegusa nodded.
Aren't you curious?
"If you're willing to tell me, you'll tell me yourself, won't you?"
Mayumi Saegusa smiled as she looked at Chiba Yeyou sitting next to her.
Should I say thank you?
"I'm joking Chiba Yeyou said.
"No need."
"Yesterday we took down the top leaders of the No Head Dragon's branch in Japan..."
Chiba Yeyou spoke, he looked at Mayumi Saegusa and carefully observed the expression on her face.
She showed no surprise whatsoever, remaining calm. Although she was watching the match, there was no trace of concealment; clearly, Mayumi Saegusa already knew before Chiba Yeyou spoke.
"Um."
Mayumi Saegusa listened carefully to Chiba Yeyou's words, nodding occasionally, without worry, tension, or surprise.
Why did you stop talking?
Hearing Chiba Yeyou silence, Mayumi Saegusa turned her head to look at Chiba Yeyou, only to find him staring intently at her.
"Thanks."
Chiba Yeyou looked at the match. He had already figured out whose people the guy had been following him twice. He had only wanted to confirm it before, since no one wants to have a little tail following them around. Once he confirmed that it had nothing to do with Mayumi Saegusa, Chiba Yeyou would definitely take swift and decisive action to completely eliminate the other party. He didn't care which faction it belonged to; it wasn't like he had no way out. He had people behind him too.
Moreover, surveillance is inherently a hostile act, and even if the other party is killed, the forces behind them wouldn't dare to say anything.
When he spotted the person a second time, Chiba Yeyou had a suspicion. Even if it was true, he wouldn't be surprised. However, he didn't expect Mayumi Saegusa Chiba Yeyou not even try to hide it. This Chiba Yeyou, but it also warmed his heart.
Although the Ten Master Clans is powerful and deeply rooted in Japan, sending a powerful magician wouldn't be difficult, but it's not something a high school student can easily mobilize, not even with written communication.
Thanks to Tiffany, Chiba Yeyou is quite familiar with the rules of these families; though they are called rules, they are actually a kind of law for self-protection.
Mayumi Saegusa must have gone to great lengths to send such a powerful magician, right?
Thinking of this, Chiba Yeyou's gaze toward Mayumi Saegusa became even more intense. If they weren't in a public place, he would have loved to hold Mayumi Saegusa in his arms and give her a good pounding.
Why?
It feels like I'm raising a cat.
Forget it, never mind!
I'm worried about your safety!
You're not angry with me, are you?
To be honest, Mayumi Saegusa Chiba Yeyou, afraid that it would cause Chiba Yeyou to misunderstand. Mayumi Saegusa lowered her head and asked cautiously.
How could that be?
I'm so grateful!
Chiba Yeyou didn't really care or misunderstand anything; she just wanted to confirm that the other party meant her no harm.
"Lift your head up; no matter how low you look, you can still see your toes."
Seeing Mayumi Saegusa's unusually childlike demeanor, Chiba Yeyou couldn't help but tease her.
"???"
"What's the meaning?"
Mayumi Saegusa baffled. What was she looking at instead of her toes?
Chiba Yeyou leaned close to Mayumi Saegusa's ear and whispered the words, "When you look down and can't see your toes, you are a peerless beauty."
"???"
"!!!"
How dare you complain that I'm too young?
Mayumi Saegusa felt a surge of anger.
"I can still grow!"
Mayumi Saegusa puffed out her chest, looked at Chiba Yeyou with a hostile expression, as if to say, "If you dare deny that I can still grow, I'll fight you to the death."
"Yes, senior, you can definitely do it! I believe in you!"
Swallowing hard, Chiba Yeyou nodded quickly, indicating that Sister Xie would definitely develop even more perfectly.
The game ended just as the two were talking and joking around.
"You worked hard yesterday."
In a tea room, Harunobu Kazama sat at the tea table and addressed Chiba Yeyou.
"No, most of the work was done by that guy Chiba Yeyou, I didn't do anything."
Tatsuya Shiba quickly denied it.
That's right, they only threw a few " Material Burst " (a type of explosive device), unlike Chiba Yeyou, who demolished the entire building. The developer was happy, but the police were furious and had to step in to appease the public, saying it was just an accidental gas explosion and the hole was blown out. They were in a complete mess.
Whether the citizens believe it or not, as long as they believe it, that's fine.
Looking back now, compared to what Chiba Yeyou did, Tatsuya Shiba intercepted a radio signal and killed two people, which doesn't seem like he really did anything. He wasn't being modest.
A moment of silence fell over the room.
I'm referring to yesterday's Nine Schools Competition venue.
Harunobu Kazama immediately changed the subject.
"He was also involved in that matter, but I still want to thank everyone for their help."
That's more like it!
That sounds much better.
"It's not just your problem. After all, it happened right before my eyes, so I couldn't just stand by and do nothing."
Yanagi Ren also spoke up.
"Besides, we collected quite a bit of data yesterday!"
Shigeru Sanada's words were clearly referring to what happened that evening.
Although they weren't with Tatsuya Shiba and Chiba Yeyou, that doesn't mean they weren't present.
"I've never seen that spell of Chiba Yeyou's before!"
Recalling the colorful stream of light she had created, Kyoko Fujibayashi couldn't help but feel a pang of admiration. "This is hardly genius," she thought.
This thing shouldn't even exist in reality, okay?
That's insane!
Even if Tatsuya Shiba combined with Masaki Ichijo Shinkuro Kichijoji couldn't compare, right?
Since he started paying attention to Chiba Yeyou, he has hardly used any of the recorded magic; all of his magic is new types that he has developed himself!
What's that magic called?
Kyoko Fujibayashi suddenly realized she didn't know what this magic was called, so she looked at Tatsuya Shiba, hoping he could answer her question.
The others also looked at Tatsuya Shiba, all of them curious about the ability to selectively attack.
"The magic is called ' Quantum Streamline '."
