Magical inferiority: quantum control Chapter 009

“Activate magic: ‘Constant Force Deflection’!”

“Reverse target: Earth’s gravity!”

“Ignore information body data!”

“Activate magic: ‘Amplification and Pressurization’!”

“Target subject: Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō!”

“’Amplification and Pressurization’ twentyfold gravity!”

“Ignore magic activation ritual construction system!”

“Ignore…”

“Immediately commence suppressive fire!”

The moment the coin landed, everything was complete.

“Thud!”

“Thump!”

Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō, who was across from Chiba Yoru, had just lifted his hand halfway to touch his CAD when he knelt, followed by another sound as he lay motionless on the ground.

In that instant, Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō had only one thought: He’s going to kill me! I’m dead!

The simulation room instantly fell silent, one person lying motionless, the other standing still with a stunned expression, creating a non-static image.

“Ah ah ah….”

Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō’s mouth was open, silently screaming “ah ah.”

And Chiba Yoru was purely shocked.

“Holy crap!”

“Only twenty times and both legs are fractured?”

Chiba Yoru murmured in a low voice.

However, in the quiet simulation room, it sounded somewhat loud.

Hearing this, Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō’s eyes welled up with tears.

[Twenty times my ass!]

[You try it!]

[You’d break too if you tried!]

Chiba Yoru quickly dispelled the magic.

“Hiss!”

At this, Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō could finally speak clearly, but not much.

“Sorry, I haven’t fought such a weakling… uh, such… I don’t have much combat experience, sorry.”

Chiba Yoru realized he had said the wrong thing, then didn’t know what to say, so he just bluffed that he had no combat experience.

[I’m a weakling…]

[If you can’t speak properly, then don’t speak!]

[Who are you bluffing here?]

“Well, it’s not a big injury, just comminuted fractures in both legs and internal bleeding!”

“Oh, and some concussion, no wonder he couldn’t speak clearly.”

Chiba Yoru said as he scanned Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō’s injuries.

[Why don’t you call someone to treat me?!]

“I’ll treat you, just a moment.”

“Activate magic: ‘Quantum Remembrance’!”

“Commencing trace of complete information body state!”

“Commencing restoration!”

“Restoration complete!”

In the time it took Chiba Yoru to wave his hand, Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō’s ‘minor injuries’ were healed.

“Alright, senpai, you can get up now.”

“Senpai?”

Chiba Yoru was somewhat puzzled.

[What’s going on?]

[I already healed him!]

[Scan again!]

[There’s really no problem!]

[What are you playing at?]

[Are you trying to extort me?]

Chiba Yoru cautiously walked over and heard Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō muttering something.

“Senpai!”

Chiba Yoru suddenly raised his voice.

“Huh?”

“Ah!”

“I’m fine now!”

Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō stood up, but he seemed a bit off.

“You will definitely be able to give Saegusa Mayumi happiness, I wish you success!”

Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō showed a smile uglier than a cry, then walked out.

“Uh, just to clarify, my appreciation for Saegusa Mayumi-senpai is purely aesthetic, I just find her personality interesting, that’s all!”

“At least for now, I have no intention of pursuing her!”

Chiba Yoru finished, then added another sentence, just in case he changed his mind someday.

“Then you…”

“This simulated battle was to solve things once and for all!”

Chiba Yoru waved his hand, indicating that he was also forced.

“…”

[Solve things once and for all my ass!]

[Do I look like someone who would cause trouble?]

At this moment, Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō really wanted to cry.

Then, he remembered Chiba Yoru’s perfunctory words, and his figure darkened again.

“Are you alright?”

Chiba Yoru asked with some concern.

Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō didn’t reply and just left, but he kept muttering something, looking utterly dejected.

“Sigh!”

“Poor kid!”

Chiba Yoru felt sad for him, but the curve of his mouth, due to being too sad, seemed a bit unrestrained.

Chiba Yoru happily walked towards his classroom, humming an unknown song, his mood beautiful once again.

Student Council

“Hmm?”

“Where’s Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō?”

Saegusa Mayumi looked up and found the vice president gone.

“Clap!”

The door opened and closed in one fluid motion.

Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō was back, but his state was somewhat off. His usually bright eyes were now dull, as if he had lost his soul, sitting there and muttering continuously.

“Vice President?”

“Junior?”

“Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō?”

The senpai called several times. Usually, this guy would excitedly stand at attention as if being reviewed, but now he completely ignored Saegusa Mayumi’s calls.

Nakajou Azusa and Ichihara Suzune exchanged glances, seeing the puzzled look in each other’s eyes.

“Um, Vice President?”

Nakajou Azusa tried calling him, but Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō still didn’t react.

Ichihara Suzune walked to Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō’s side and finally heard what he was muttering, her face filled with shock.

Seeing this, Saegusa Mayumi and Nakajou Azusa also walked to Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō’s side.

“I’m a weakling, I’m a weakling….”

“???”

“!!!”

What was going on?

Where did our bright and cheerful vice president go?

Who hit him so hard?

He’s been saying he’s a weakling!

This guy hasn’t lost a single match since he enrolled!

The three girls exchanged glances, it seemed this guy was hit hard.

Saegusa Mayumi quietly walked to Ichihara Suzune’s side and whispered in her ear, “Suzune, go check where Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō-junior went just now, who he met, and what exactly happened between them!”

“Okay, I’ll go check right away!”

Ichihara Suzune nodded with a grave expression and left without hesitation.

“Junior!”

Saegusa Mayumi suddenly slapped Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō’s shoulder.

“Ah!”

Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō jolted, almost falling to the ground.

“Pre-President!”

Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō finally noticed there were people around him, and more than one.

Seeing that he had finally returned to normal, Saegusa Mayumi couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“Why are you so distracted? What happened?”

Saegusa Mayumi frowned, looking at Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō.

“No… nothing!”

Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō showed a smile uglier than a cry.

He considered himself someone who could accept defeat and wasn’t afraid of being laughed at.

But being utterly crushed by a freshman, not only easily severely injured but also being told he was too weak and that the opponent hadn’t fought someone so pathetic, he really couldn’t hold it together, it was too demoralizing!

His physical injuries were healed, but his mind was once again severely wounded.

Saegusa Mayumi helplessly rubbed her forehead. How could she console him if she didn’t even know what happened!

[Being a student council president is too hard!]

[Not only do I have to worry about the students, but also the vice president.]

[Which bastard did this!]

[I’m tired, just destroy it all!]

Saegusa Mayumi felt a bit exhausted.

“Clap!”

Ichihara Suzune returned.

“Got results?”

Saegusa Mayumi’s eyes lit up when she saw Ichihara Suzune return.

“Uh…”

Ichihara Suzune really couldn’t say.

It was easy to track a vice president’s movements within the academy, but Ichihara Suzune found the result somewhat unacceptable.

She didn’t even know how to open her mouth. How was she supposed to say it?

Should she just blurt out that Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō went to pick a fight for Saegusa Mayumi and was instantly defeated in a simulated battle?

Then Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō wouldn’t just be temporarily depressed, he’d get clinical depression.

“???”

Hearing Saegusa Mayumi’s question, Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō suddenly remembered that the simulation room not only had battle records but also surveillance footage, high-definition and with sound, just like a live broadcast.

[Damn it!]

[How could I forget that?]

[It’s over, my vice president image is gone!]

Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō suddenly stood up and then sat back down, looking even more dejected.

“???”

Saegusa Mayumi and Nakajou Azusa became even more confused.

However, Ichihara Suzune understood Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō’s thought process.

“Don’t worry, I already deleted it!”

Hearing Ichihara Suzune’s words, Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō instantly brightened up.

“Thank you!”

Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō looked at Ichihara Suzune with gratitude.

“However, I copied a version.”

Ichihara Suzune’s next sentence directly stunned Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō.

[Give me back my gratitude!]

“Don’t look like that. I’m quite interested in him. It’s a good idea to play the video. President and Azusa, come and watch together and analyze it.”

Ichihara Suzune said, then brought up a recording. The scene in the video was Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō being instantly defeated.

After watching it, the three girls looked at the vice president, whose eyes were still dull, and then spent some time comforting him. Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō finally returned to normal.

However, he also made up his mind that he would absolutely never seek death with that guy again. This time, he truly felt death, realizing how close it could be.

After all, he was still just a high school student. Although teenagers in this world generally matured early, they hadn’t experienced much of society’s harsh realities, and their mental fortitude still needed to grow.

“Vice President, you are the direct victim. Can you tell us about his magic?”

Ichihara Suzune didn’t hold back and directly asked.

[You’re too direct, aren’t you?]

Although he mentally complained about Ichihara Suzune, he still said, “Hmm, it should be gravity-type magic. The effect is increased weight. The reason I instantly collapsed wasn’t due to any external attack, but because I was crushed by the sudden massive increase in my own body’s mass.”

“According to him, he increased it by twenty times. You can hear it from here.”

Saying that, Hattori Gyobu Shosuke Hanzō pointed to the video. Since they had all seen it, there was nothing to hide.
