Is this really a competition?
"This is not even in the same league!"
How is that possible?
"I remember Mayumi Saegusa wasn't this scary last year, was she?"
"..."
The silence lasted only a dozen seconds, followed by a barrage of questions and disbelief.
No one thought that Mayumi Saegusa cheated. Putting aside the fact that the Operations Committee was supervising the entire competition to ensure the fairness of the competition for the elites from various universities, Mayumi Saegusa, as a member of the Saegusa Family, would never do something so unwise as to bring such shame to her family.
This surprised fans who had been following the " Fairy Sniper " for a long time, as the progress was truly terrifying.
"As expected, with just a little optimization of CAD, she can easily crush her opponents. It seems she was quite capable all along!"
Seeing that the match had ended just as he had expected, Chiba Yeyou couldn't help but sigh.
"No matter how strong she is, if she can't unleash her full potential, it's not truly hers; it's ultimately an illusion. The key is that you've unleashed her true power, allowing her to perform at her best."
Tiffany clearly did not approve of Chiba Yeyou ignoring her help to Mayumi Saegusa and strongly disagreed with it.
"Yes, Sister Tiffany is right. With your help, my strength has improved significantly."
Mari Watanabe clearly agreed with Tiffany's words; Chiba Yeyou's help was absolutely indispensable.
"Why?"
Chiba Yeyou looked at the two women with some surprise. When did these two become so familiar?
Since moving into her own home Tiffany has kept a very low profile; unless she wants to, no one can know that she is in Chiba Yeyou's house.
"The two of you?"
Chiba Yeyou's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them, her eyes full of confusion.
Putting aside the fact that one of them was wearing a school uniform and the other was wearing a purple dress and a sun hat that covered half of Tiffany's face, making them seem like an unlikely match, and considering their age difference of several years, how did they become so close?
Did Tiffany tell Mari Watanabe her identity?
That won't happen!
Chiba Yeyou, expressing her utter bewilderment.
I've given up on thinking about it and will just give up.
Sometimes, two women can truly agree on something just from a single sentence!
"What, are you surprised?"
Mari Watanabe smiled slightly.
"Indeed, it seems like you two don't have much in common."
In Chiba Yeyou's memory, Tiffany seemed a little different from Mayumi Saegusa. She was quiet, had a queen-like demeanor, wasn't very interested in anything, and was very distant. Only in front of Chiba Yeyou did she act like a friendly older sister next door.
Speaking of which Tiffany does seem to treat Mayumi Saegusa and Mari Watanabe a little differently!
Chiba Yeyou thought to himself with a touch of humor.
"How?"
"Can't I even make two friends?"
Tiffany looked at Chiba Yeyou with feigned displeasure, her gaze fixed on him, which made Chiba Yeyou feel inexplicably strange, as if she wasn't telling the truth!
"Can."
Although Chiba Yeyou always felt that Tiffany had some ulterior motive, she couldn't be bothered to care anymore; at most, it was just...
Forget it, I can't find a reason, so I'll just stop thinking about it!
"Alright, the president's match is over, we should go congratulate him, bye-bye!"
Seeing that the two contestants in the arena were preparing to leave, Chiba Yeyou stood up and waved to Tiffany.
"Well then, I'm off too. See you later!"
Mari Watanabe waved to Tiffany.
Tiffany watched the two leave, and simply nodded.
He then looked at Mayumi Saegusa, who was leaving the stage, with a somewhat inscrutable gaze.
" The Saegusa Family?"
Before Chiba Yeyou had to wait long, Mayumi Saegusa Chiba Yeyou out with a happy expression. Upon seeing Chiba Yeyou, she immediately ran over and jumped into his arms.
Did you see that?
I won!
Mayumi Saegusa had won before, but for some reason, she felt particularly excited this time, as if all her previous victories were fake and this victory was the only real one.
The joy that came from within wasn't because of winning a small competition, but because of Chiba Yeyou's participation in this victory.
"I saw it! A clean, decisive, and beautiful victory, my president!"
Chiba Yeyou, holding Mayumi Saegusa, smiled happily.
I said, I'm still here!
Never before had Mari Watanabe felt so superfluous, so that she shouldn't exist.
"Ah!"
" Mari, why didn't you say anything just now?!"
Mayumi Saegusa Chiba Yeyou's embrace, her face slightly flushed, and she looked at Mari Watanabe with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
"Ah!"
Mari Watanabe sighed softly, rubbing her forehead, feeling that her Student Council president and friend was beyond saving.
She finally understood what the phrase "to forget one's principles for the sake of beauty" meant.
For a moment, Mari Watanabe didn't know what to say.
Congratulations on winning!
Mari Watanabe promptly changed the subject to avoid being overwhelmed by the two's display of affection.
"Thanks!"
"Alright, let's hurry and find Suzune Ichihara; they're waiting for us to compile and analyze the data."
Chiba Yeyou reminded the two of something.
"Well, after the morning's matches are over and the data is compiled and calculated, it will become very clear whether our First High School can secure first place."
Mayumi Saegusa nodded as well.
"However, we need to win as many games as possible to ensure that our First High School can stand out and achieve our goal of a winning streak."
Mari Watanabe still wanted to lay the groundwork for First High School's winning streak as much as possible, in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
"That's not a problem. The competition is progressing exactly as we predicted. All the events we were certain to win have resulted in victories. The competition is developing in the direction we expected, and there shouldn't be too many surprises in the remaining key events."
Unlike Mayumi Saegusa Mari Watanabe wasn't worried. The current situation was developing in a way that was favorable to them, so there was no need for her to be so concerned.
"However, Mari, your Battle Board is significant, so it's important. That guy is your equal, and you really need to take your opponent seriously."
Mayumi Saegusa suddenly remembered something and reminded Mari Watanabe.
"Don't worry, but don't forget, I have this guy!"
Mari Watanabe pointed at Chiba Yeyou with a confident smile, her face beaming.
"Yes, that makes sense."
Mayumi Saegusa then remembered that she had a powerful mechanic by her side.
"Let's go, let's hurry and meet up with Rin and the others."
Upon hearing Mayumi Saegusa's words, Mari Watanabe turned and glanced at the arena before following the two.
I'm not going to get entangled with you on that bend this year!
