"Um!"

"Now, let's get down to business. Saegusa, tell us about the project you participated in."

"Okay."

Faced with Chiba Yeyou's sudden serious and solemn demeanor and rather formal tone, Mayumi Saegusa also surprisingly became formal as well.

"The events I participate in are mainly shooting events, such as ' Speed Shooting ' and ' Crowd Ball.' Once the equipment for these two events is set up, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Understood."

Chiba Yeyou made a note of it on her mobile terminal.

Where is Mari Watanabe- senpai?

"My main project is ' Battle Board,' and my main responsibility is adjusting the equipment for that project."

"Of course, adjustments to other projects will only be possible after the specific circumstances we face are confirmed."

Mari Watanabe added some further details.

What are your preferred magic systems?

"I'm particularly skilled in acceleration magic, compound magic, and perception magic."

"I understand. Where's Mari Watanabe- senpai?"

After finishing recording, Chiba Yeyou Yoru looked at Mari Watanabe.

"My most frequently used magic types are acceleration, weight, and hardening magic, but I'm more proficient in acceleration and movement magic."

"Okay, I understand."

Chiba Yeyou nodded.

"You two can go and do your own things now."

Chiba Yeyou walked to a table and sat down, beginning to develop an adjustment plan for the CAD based on the three competition projects.

"Aren't you going to give us an analysis of the tactics and winning conditions?"

Mayumi Saegusa turned around and looked at Chiba Yeyou, who was sitting behind her, with some confusion.

Mari Watanabe turned around and looked at Chiba Yeyou as well. She was clearly also puzzled and hoped that Chiba Yeyou could give her an answer.

"Both of you are very strong individually, capable of excelling in many areas, so why would we need tactical planning?"

"Wouldn't it be better to simply overwhelm them with sheer strength?"

"Besides, Saegusa, the project you're participating in mainly focuses on two core aspects: 'precision shooting' and 'rapid shooting.' The terrain is constant, so under these conditions, I don't think any other unnecessary operations are needed."

After speaking to Mayumi Saegusa Chiba Yeyou looked up and then turned to look at Mari Watanabe beside her.

" Mari Watanabe- senpai, if I increase your strength in your area of expertise by 30%, and you still can't easily take first place, then I can only say, you should find someone else!"

After Chiba Yeyou finished speaking, she ignored the surprised expressions on their faces and continued to busy herself with what she was doing.

"Is this... is this really possible?"

Mari Watanabe asked uncertainly. She could hardly imagine what it would be like if her strength increased by 30%, but she knew the result: a crushing defeat!

Mayumi Saegusa Mari Watanabe. The idea of crushing the opponent was incredibly tempting. They had never experienced being informed before even setting off that they could use technological support to enhance their strength and directly crush their opponents without needing anything else.

That's incredibly arrogant!

"Have you all forgotten that almost none of the magic I use is included in the magic catalog system?"

Chiba Yeyou watched, feeling that the two had forgotten that she was not simply a mechanic providing technical support.

"Okay, then I'm all set."

Mayumi Saegusa suddenly realized what was going on and remembered some of the bizarre magic formulas that Chiba Yeyou had independently developed, and she was instantly relieved.

"I'm fine with it now, I'm even starting to look forward to it."

Mari Watanabe looked at Chiba Yeyou with some excitement, as if determined to defeat his former rival.

"Alright then, you two don't need to bother me anymore."

"Alright, thank you for your hard work, junior!"

After Mayumi Saegusa waved goodbye, Chiba Yeyou began to get into work mode.

Before we knew it, the sun was setting again, filling the room with a dim, golden light.

"Is it already this late?"

Chiba Yeyou looked up at the mobile terminal.

"Um?"

What kind of fluctuation is this?

Chiba Yeyou suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation within the third room to her right.

Under the silent influence of " Situational Awareness," nothing could be hidden. A short-haired boy in Course 2 Student school uniform was holding a strange piece of paper with his eyes closed, as if he were performing a ritual. Around him were strange things in indigo and purple.

Centered on that room, the entire building seemed to be radiating a bluish-green light, with will-o'-the-wisps dancing wildly.

"I remember the third room from the right in this room was the pharmacy lab."

"Um?"

"This is?"

Chiba Yeyou silently got up, preparing to go and see these strange things.

When Chiba Yeyou stepped out of the room, she saw the figure she had sensed earlier. This figure was none other than Mizuki Shibata.

At this moment, Mizuki Shibata had taken off her glasses, opened the door to the drug laboratory a crack, and was peeking inside with one eye.

"Um?"

"This guy's up here too. Has he finished arranging things for those people?"

Tatsuya Shiba saw Chiba Yeyou Chiba Yeyou and nodded to her.

Who is it?

A loud shout suddenly came from inside the room.

"Ah!"

Mizuki Shibata screamed and fell to the ground.

As soon as the sound appeared Tatsuya Shiba immediately dispelled the will-o'-the-wisps.

" Tatsuya, and Chiba Yeyou?"

Mizuki Shibata snapped out of her daze and then noticed Tatsuya Shiba and Chiba Yeyou behind him.

"Calm down, Mikihiko, don't misunderstand, we have no intention of starting a conflict here."

Tatsuya Shiba raised his hands to indicate that he had no intention of harming the other party.

oh!

It was just this guy!

Are these will-o'-the-wisps elves?

This thing, Chiba Yeyou, looks exactly like a will-o'-the-wisp; it doesn't resemble an elf at all.

I really don't know who came up with that name.

The second son of the prestigious Yoshida Family, a family of Ancient Magic, he was once hailed as a child prodigy of the Yoshida Family. His talent surpassed that of his older brother, who would become the next head of the family, and the family placed high hopes on him.

He suffered an accident the year before entering the First High School, which damaged his magical power. In order to make up for his lost power, he turned to Modern Magic to find a way, and secretly studied CAD knowledge and Modern Magic theory, and also learned martial arts to enhance his strength. Despite this, his practical skills in the entrance exam were not very good, and he could only be admitted as a Course 2 Student. In the first semester, he ranked 3rd in the theory exam, only behind Tatsuya Shiba and Miyuki Shiba.

Silently recalling this guy's information, Chiba Yeyou then turned his gaze back to these will-o'-the-wisps. Hmm, he still preferred to call these things will-o'-the-wisps.
