" Spirit Magic?"
Mayumi Saegusa and Mari Watanabe said in unison, somewhat surprised.
"That's right, it's Spirit Magic!"
Chiba Yeyou nodded at the two of them, quite certain of her judgment.
"This kind of magic is quite rare. If I hadn't seen Mikihiko Yoshida use clever magic before, I wouldn't be so sure this time that the other person's magic is Spirit Magic."
Chiba Yeyou had never actually seen Spirit Magic use Spirit Magic before, since Spirit Magic were extremely rare, and were mostly used and passed down by Ancient Magic families; it was practically unheard of to see such people.
" Mikihiko!"
When Mari Watanabe heard Chiba Yeyou mention Mikihiko Yoshida, she knew that Chiba Yeyou's judgment was basically correct, after all, Spirit Magic was just too special.
"Their ability to easily send out Spirit Magic suggests that their strength should not be underestimated."
Mayumi Saegusa couldn't help but frown slightly, realizing just how formidable their opponents were.
"Report this to the Tournament Operations Committee. They're the only ones who can investigate; after all, they can't shirk responsibility for something like this."
"It's unlikely to be very effective."
Upon hearing Mayumi Saegusa's words, Chiba Yeyou shook her head, not believing that the Operations Committee could truly solve the problem.
The fact that the other party is so brazen means that their influence has already infiltrated the Operations Committee. They have no idea how many people are on their side. Chiba Yeyou doesn't believe that there is only one traitor in charge of testing CAD.
"You have such a low opinion of the people on the Operations Committee?"
Upon hearing Mari Watanabe's words, Chiba Yeyou simply smiled.
"Does Chiba Yeyou think that the other side might have infiltrated the Tournament Operations Committee?"
Mayumi Saegusa looked at Chiba Yeyou's somewhat meaningful smile and couldn't help but exclaim.
"That can't be right!"
Upon hearing Mayumi Saegusa's words, Mari Watanabe immediately denied them, because in her opinion, if even members of the Operations Committee had problems, then the matter was far too serious!
Moreover, putting aside other issues, the Ten Master Clans was the first to be embarrassed!
They care a lot about their reputation!
However, under the somewhat expectant gazes of Mari Watanabe and Mayumi Saegusa, Chiba Yeyou showed no intention of overturning her conclusion.
"Call!"
"Is there so much going on in this year's Nine Schools Competition?"
Chiba Yeyou glanced at Chiba Yoru Mayumi Saegusa a somewhat complicated expression, and she believed more than 70% of what he said.
Mari Watanabe still finds it hard to accept the reality that there are traitors within the Operations Committee.
"What else?"
"Do you really think that the elites of the Nine Schools Competition could pull off such an outrageous maneuver as accelerating through a corner?"
"CAD inspection personnel!"
Upon hearing Gao Chiba Yeyou's reminder, Mari Watanabe and Mayumi Saegusa immediately realized what was happening and exclaimed in unison.
Why not mention the mechanic?
That's because after the mechanics adjust the CAD settings, the contestants have to adapt to them themselves. If there's a problem in any part of the process, it would have been discovered long ago!
So the answer is obvious!
All participants must submit their CAD files to the Operations Committee for inspection before the competition!
"That..."
"I know what you want to ask, but it's useless. Unless he exposes himself now, we probably won't be able to do anything about him. On the contrary, he's more likely to turn around and bite us."
Chiba Yeyou interrupted Mayumi Saegusa's question.
"So what do we do now?"
"Now we can only wait. Since he's already made one move, he won't stop with his next little scheme. All we can do is take preventative measures."
Chiba Yeyou was helpless in this situation. After all, it was an internal matter of the Operations Committee, and he couldn't just grab Tatsuya Shiba and rush over there. Solving the problem by force was simply unrealistic.
"That's the only way."
Mari Watanabe also snapped out of her daze and echoed, because she really didn't have any good ideas either.
"Let Jumonji communicate with the Operations Committee. Don't be too obvious; just give them a heads-up."
"Well, that's the only way."
Mayumi Okusami, also expressed her agreement with Chiba Yeyou's words.
After all, in order to prevent external magical interference from causing unfairness in the competition and thus affecting its impartiality, the Operations Committee would assign magicians skilled in countering magic as competition committee members to each arena, and would also set up a large number of surveillance devices. With capable people and well-prepared arrangements, it was impossible for them not to discover this trickery.
However, it's hard to say exactly how it will turn out, since it would be too embarrassing to really investigate.
"The next matches..."
Mayumi Saegusa started to worry about the upcoming matches, since no one knew when that guy might pull some dirty tricks.
It's safe to say that the CAD machine that had the problem is now completely working again!
A venomous snake lying in wait can be quite a nuisance, especially when it's eyeing the First High School.
"In the upcoming competitions, it's pretty clear which key events we've lost will significantly impact our chances of winning first place."
Chiba Yeyou took out his computer and opened a data spreadsheet he had copied, which listed all the events that First High School had to win to achieve the top ranking.
"We only have the Mirage Bat, Monolith Code, and Battle Board left. Because the men's team lost a pre-calculated winning event, we need to win all three main events to maintain our first place overall."
"Although the rookie tournament only awards half the points of the main tournament, we can't simply give up on it."
Mayumi Saegusa looked at the data on the computer screen, analyzing it with a headache. She wasn't worried about the players' abilities, but rather about potential interference.
"And we must also guard against interference from unknown sources."
Mari Watanabe was also having a headache. Although she was confident of winning, no one knew when the arrows from the shadows would be shot.
"There's no need to be so pessimistic. I'm in charge of both of Watanabe -senpai's projects, and I can assure you that her competition will not be affected by external magical interference."
"Besides, with Tatsuya Shiba's support for the rookie tournament, there shouldn't be any major problems."
"Now we need to see Monolith Code."
However, Chiba Yeyou's words of comfort had no effect; instead, they made Mayumi Saegusa and Mari Watanabe feel even worse.
"The problem lies in Monolith Code. We can rest assured about the Jumonji set, but Morisaki's group..."
It's clear that although Fu Xingbu is also a member of that group, he obviously can't control the situation. Although Chiba Yeyou helped him once, allowing him to win decisively, that was it. Now, their group still has many problems.
Seeing that the two of them were looking at her, Chiba Yeyou could only feel helpless.
"I really don't have time, I need to take care of you two beautiful girls!"
