Seeing Chiba Yeyou's serious warning, Mari Watanabe became extremely curious about the little gadget Chiba Yeyou had mentioned.
"Okay, I've remembered your reminder."
Subsequently, Mari Watanabe also stated with a serious expression that she would keep this warning in mind.
"By the way, what is this little gadget?"
Mayumi Saegusa looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.
"Uh, I'm experimenting with that too."
Mari Watanabe gave an awkward laugh.
She had only been working with the CAD software for less than half an hour.
"This little gadget is an interesting spell: ' Light Energy Pulse.' It can only be used for half a second, and it cannot be used multiple times in a row, otherwise your magic power definitely won't last until the end of the match. This Psion requires a lot of energy; you'll probably need about five uses before you can no longer use magic."
"So how do I use this?"
Mari Watanabe looked at Chiba Yeyou and asked how to use it.
"You're quite skilled at hardening magic. If I'm not mistaken, you'll use magic to fix yourself to the surfboard during the competition, right?"
"That's right, that's what I've always done."
Mari Watanabe nodded.
"Using hardening magic to anchor oneself to the surfboard, and then applying Self-Acceleration Spell to the whole body, is a very useful method."
"When entering the long, straight waterway, adjust your angle the instant you enter to ensure you can go straight, then activate ' Light Energy Pulse.' You will then reach the end of the track in half a second at the start of this straight section."
Hearing Chiba Yeyou's explanation, Mayumi Saegusa frowned.
"But wouldn't it be very dangerous if Mari didn't operate it properly?"
It wasn't that Mayumi Saegusa lacked confidence in Mari Watanabe, but rather that achieving the acceleration required to travel from the beginning to the end of the waterway within half a second would be terrifying, and the impact force generated by such immense acceleration would be even more terrifying. Moreover, what would happen if they slowed down at the end?
"You can rest assured about that. Although it's said to be half a second, the acceleration is only momentary, followed by deceleration. I've added a safety protection system internally, so you don't need to worry about any discomfort or injury. Moreover, I've also limited the usage time of the ' Light Energy Pulse.' This half-second usage is the limitation; it doesn't require manual control."
"Actually, you just need to judge when to use it. Of course, it would be best if you could easily win without using ' Light Energy Pulse ' in the end."
Chiba Yeyou naturally hoped that Mari Watanabe would win easily.
Is that so?
Mayumi Saegusa Chiba Yeyou's explanation.
"Don't worry, Chiba Yeyou's skills are superb. If I can't win easily with that, then I'd be letting him down."
Mari Watanabe's answer was confident and proud, and the smile on her lips looked more like a victory smile.
The National High School Magic Competition, commonly known as the Nine Schools Competition, has finally begun.
"Like previous years, this year's competition will be divided into a main tournament and a rookie tournament, each lasting five days, for a total of ten days."
"This year's focus is whether First High School can achieve a three-game winning streak, or whether No. Third High School will end First High School's winning streak?"
Above a huge square venue, a massive steam-powered sphere-shaped broadcasting and projection system was displaying the emblems of various magic high schools, the progress of the competition, and introducing the competition events, while simultaneously building up everyone's anticipation.
"How about it?"
Are you getting used to it?
On the preparation area of the competition venue, Chiba Yeyou looked at Mari Watanabe and asked her earnestly about her condition.
Don't worry, it's perfectly fine!
Mari Watanabe probably felt her strength had improved after these few hours of adaptation, so she spoke more confidently and had an unwavering belief in victory.
"Then, please begin your performance!"
Chiba Yeyou waved to Mari Watanabe and prepared to go watch the match from the sidelines.
"The third round of the women's Battle Board preliminaries is about to begin. Athletes, please proceed to your designated positions to prepare."
"So, anything new?"
Noticing that Chiba Yeyou had sat down beside her, Tiffany asked without turning her head.
"There's something new, but I don't know if she'll know how to use it."
Chiba Yeyou looked at Mari Watanabe in the arena and replied.
"That girl in purple?"
"Right."
Chiba Yeyou nodded.
" Mari Watanabe, a third-year student at First High School."
"Wowhhhhh~"
"Lord Mari!"
Mari waved to the people who were shouting.
"This guy has quite a few fans!"
"Um, who is this...?"
Tiffany sitting next to Mayumi Saegusa Chiba Yeyou with some confusion.
"This is my older sister, Tiffany."
"This is Mayumi Saegusa, the Student Council of our First High School."
Chiba Yeyou gave each of them a brief introduction.
Only then did Tiffany notice that there was a pretty young woman accompanying Chiba Yeyou.
Then, Tiffany kept looking at Mayumi Saegusa before finally extending her hand.
"Hello, Mayumi Saegusa Nanakusa."
"Ah, oh, hello, Sister Tiffany."
Mayumi Saegusa was still dazed when she heard that this person was Chiba Yeyou sister, and only came back to her senses when she heard Tiffany's call again.
However, when Mayumi Saegusa tried to pull her hand away, the other person didn't let go, but stared at her, making Mayumi Saegusa panic.
"Hmm, a nice girl."
Tiffany withdrew her gaze and outstretched hand, continuing to watch the match.
Mayumi Saegusa Mayumi Saegusa at the match with some trepidation, but she also felt that she was being met with inexplicable hostility.
It must be my imagination!
These two... don't seem to be siblings!
Then Mayumi Saegusa began to secretly observe the woman next to Chiba Yeyou, having lost all interest in watching Mari Watanabe's match.
Tiffany, standing nearby, was also subtly observing Mayumi Saegusa Tiffany. The two engaged in an intelligence war, scrutinizing her face, her chest, and her legs.
"On your marks!"
"Smack!"
With the sound of a gunshot, all four contestants moved simultaneously.
"Boom!"
A girl in white suddenly cast a spell on the water behind the four, stirring the surface and causing it to become unstable. The four began to sway on the water, but compared to the person who cast the spell, Mari Watanabe and the person who cast the spell swayed much less, and could even be said to be basically unaffected. However, taking advantage of this opportunity, Mari Watanabe rushed out from beside the three, far ahead of them, and entered the first group.
