"..."
Seeing the incredulous look on Mikihiko Yoshida's face, Tatsuya Shiba felt at a loss for words.
Shouldn't that be my line?
This script is wrong!
Tatsuya Shiba was even planning to give him some pointers!
wrong!
also?
Tatsuya Shiba astutely grasped this key word.
Oh, right, Chiba Yeyou can do that too, so it's alright then.
Then, Tatsuya Shiba fell silent, which was unusual for him.
"Why!"
"That's right, I can read the Activation Sequence content and analyze the Magic Sequence just by looking at it."
Tatsuya Shiba sighed and didn't hide anything. Since there was a precedent like Chiba Yeyou, it didn't feel strange that he could do it.
"..."
Now it was Mikihiko Yoshida silent.
Goodness, is the First High School really that terrifying?
It's only been a semester, and he's already encountered two perverts!
Mikihiko Yoshida looked up at the sky, wanting to shout, "Please stop your supernatural powers! What have I done to deserve this?!"
At this moment, Mikihiko Yoshida was truly depressed. For the First High School time, he felt like a weakling, incredibly weak, definitely at the bottom of the pack.
"Ahem, don't be so discouraged. You're not bad at all. Spirit Magic is quite powerful, and you're quite proficient in its positive Spirit Magic manipulation. Besides, Chiba Yeyou is right. You should change your approach and eliminate those unnecessary Magic Sequence. Of course, you should consider these things yourself. I'm just giving you a suggestion."
Seeing Mikihiko Yoshida looking dejected, Tatsuya Shiba couldn't help but offer words of comfort.
"Let's put that aside for now and get rid of these people."
Seeing Mikihiko Yoshida's expression, Tatsuya Shiba decisively changed the subject, focusing his attention on the three criminals lying on the ground.
"Um."
Mikihiko Yoshida's thoughts were pulled out of his dejection. He regained his composure, agreed, and then took out a talisman from his pocket. A green light flashed on the talisman, and he ran off into the distance. He needed to call the garrison stationed here to deal with the three people.
"Looks like he's really taken a hit!"
The sudden sound didn't surprise Tatsuya Shiba; he already knew about it when Major Kazama appeared nearby.
Sure enough, the next person to emerge from the shadows Harunobu Kazama.
"Major."
Tatsuya Shiba and gave a military salute.
Major Kazama also stood at attention and returned the salute.
"That being said, it's quite rare to see someone like this, someone who usually doesn't care much about others."
"It's not to the point of being completely indifferent."
Upon hearing Harunobu Kazama's words, Tatsuya Shiba retorted.
"Yeah?"
Harunobu Kazama glanced at Tatsuya Shiba. Although he didn't receive a reply from Tatsuya Shiba, he could still sense that Tatsuya Shiba was no longer as indifferent as before.
"Perhaps you and that boy have some similar experiences, since you two seem to have similar troubles."
"No, I overcame that level of trouble a long time ago."
Hearing Tatsuya Shiba's answer, Harunobu Kazama was not surprised. Tatsuya Shiba's personality was very steady, and his mental strength far exceeded that of his peers, which many soldiers could not compare with.
"So, you're thinking back to yourself from back then?"
"I guess so."
When confronted with Harunobu Kazama's question, Tatsuya Shiba only gave an ambiguous answer.
"Major, is there something you need from me at this hour?"
Tatsuya Shiba inquired about Harunobu Kazama's purpose in coming.
"Nothing special happened, I just happened to see it, that's all."
Harunobu Kazama did not come specifically to see Tatsuya Shiba.
" Harunobu Kazama?"
Chiba Yeyou watched silently from upstairs at the renowned Major Kazama, then returned to his seat and looked at another CAD machine— Mari Watanabe's. Her competition was about to begin, and Chiba Yeyou needed to hurry and finish setting it up. Fortunately, he didn't need to provide any tactical guidance for the two of them; after all, they were strong enough. He only needed to help them become even stronger, and the rest could proceed according to their usual habits and at their own pace.
"Hmm, let me add a little something for you!"
Chiba Yeyou thought for a moment and then smiled slightly.
With a series of keystrokes, Chiba Yeyou resumed her work.
The Nine Schools Competition, August 3, 2095 (Gregorian Calendar)
"How's it going?"
Mari Watanabe stood next to Chiba Yeyou and looked at him, asking a question.
"Don't worry, my skills are absolutely top-notch!"
Chiba Yeyou smiled confidently.
"Yeah?"
"Then I'll have to give it a try."
Mari Watanabe spoke, she picked up her own CAD software and began to run a magical experiment on the CAD software that had been adjusted by Chiba Yeyou.
"Hmm, the magic runs very smoothly, and the speed has indeed increased by 30%, and more. Did you optimize my original CAD system?"
Mari Watanabe felt utterly amazed by the fact that the competition machine was even smoother than her own custom CAD software.
"Yes, we've adjusted the internal structure of your system, removed unnecessary and redundant operations, integrated several common features, and simplified the complex and cumbersome running procedures."
Chiba Yeyou nodded and continued to explain to Mari Watanabe.
"And it's not just that the operating speed has increased; the ability to intervene in events has also been enhanced. Try it out, so you won't be unaccustomed to it during the match later."
"Of course, considering you'll be going on stage in a few hours, if you're not comfortable with it, you can activate the internal slowdown program to restore it to the same state as your personal CAD."
Whether or not you want to maximize performance is up to you.
"How about it?"
Are you confident you can adapt?
Chiba Yeyou looked at Mari Watanabe and asked, if she was confident she could adapt, then it could be said that she had already secured the victory in the Battle Board.
"Of course!"
Mari Watanabe responded to Chiba Yeyou's expectations with great confidence.
"Congratulations! You've secured the victory!"
"Aren't you being a bit too confident, junior?"
When Chiba Yeyou Mayumi Saegusa Chiba Yoru's confident words, she felt that they were a bit exaggerated. After all, the elites from other high schools were not ordinary people, and they should not underestimate them.
"No, I feel that Chiba Yeyou is absolutely right."
Mari Watanabe said to Mayumi Saegusa with a serious expression.
"Also, I've added a little gadget for you. It only lasts for half a second at a time and can only be used on long straightaways. Whether you use it or not is up to you, but if you do, remember, it can only be used on long straightaways. Otherwise, if you go too fast, you won't have time to turn and will go off the track!"
