Magical inferiority: quantum control Chapter 037

Quantum Magic: “Area Shield”

Tatsuya Shiba was startled.

Can the spell decomposition be done from so far away?

That must be nearly four hundred meters, right?

The attacker also let out a surprised cry, but he wasn’t as engrossed as Tatsuya Shiba.

The moment Tatsuya Shiba was stunned, the man attacking him, dressed in a hoodie and mask, completely concealed, saw that his probe had failed and quickly fled.

By the time Tatsuya Shiba reacted, the man had already run far away, but as he swung his arms, a bracelet with red, white, and blue rings was revealed, clearly the attacker’s CAD. Tatsuya Shiba silently noted this important clue.

“How are you?”

“Are you okay?”

Chihaya Yoru quickly ran over, looked at Tatsuya Shiba, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong.

Although this guy can self-repair, if he gets injured, even after self-repair, traces will remain.

In fact, Chihaya Yoru was also very curious about Tatsuya Shiba’s ability and wanted to see what kind of magic his strongest magic was, but unfortunately…

But there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

“I’m fine.”

Tatsuya Shiba retracted his gaze from the distance and began to focus on Chihaya Yoru.

“Do you know this person?”

“Do you have any disputes with him?”

Chihaya Yoru asked knowingly.

“I don’t know this person, nor do I have any connection with him. I’m also very curious about his purpose in attacking me.”

Tatsuya Shiba withdrew his gaze, continued to look in the direction the man fled, and said with some bewilderment.

“Since his purpose wasn’t achieved this time, he’ll contact you again in other ways, so just wait.”

Tatsuya Shiba heard Chihaya Yoru’s words, found them very reasonable, and nodded in agreement.

“Since that’s the case, let’s go and support them over there first.”

“Mm, let’s go quickly.”

Tatsuya Shiba heard Chihaya Yoru’s words and stopped thinking about this bizarre incident.

Then, the two immediately set off for the scene.

Upon arriving at the scene, they discovered that it wasn’t as serious as they had imagined. There had been no magical brawling, but there were too many people, and the scene was too chaotic. The disciplinary committee members on site were severely understaffed, which was why they had to call for help on the communication.

Under reasonable deployment, the crowd of onlookers was dispersed, several extremists were given verbal warnings, and after being punished according to regulations, the matter came to an end.

……..

“Ah!”

“This critical period is finally over!”

First-year Class A, Chihaya Yoru stretched his back. Running all over the academy all day long was indeed quite exhausting.

“Is patrolling as a disciplinary committee member that tiring?”

“Oh!”

“Honoka Mitsui!”

Chihaya Yoru looked at the two students standing in front of him—Shizuku Kitayama and Honoka Mitsui.

Originally, these two didn’t have much interaction with him, belonging to the most ordinary type of classmates. However, after discovering that they also knew Tatsuya Shiba, their communication increased.

“It’s not that the position of disciplinary committee member is tiring. It’s mainly because I’ve been lying on the bench for a bit too long these past few days, so I’m a bit stiff.”

“But the disciplinary committee does have a lot of things to do.”

Chihaya Yoru sighed.

“Um, um…”

Honoka Mitsui’s hesitant manner made Chihaya Yoru a bit confused.

“Can we invite you to lunch with us?”

Honoka Mitsui seemed to have summoned great courage, and after saying this, she visibly relaxed.

“Oh?”

“Is it lunchtime already?”

Chihaya Yoru looked at the clock hanging in the classroom, and indeed, it was lunchtime.

“Then let’s go together!”

Chihaya Yoru and his companions quickly arrived at the cafeteria, got three meals, found a table, and sat down.

“Why didn’t you two go find Tatsuya Shiba and the others?”

Chihaya Yoru asked with some confusion.

“Tatsuya and Miyuki went to the student council.”

“I see.”

Chihaya Yoru understood after hearing Honoka Mitsui’s words.

He didn’t say anything and continued to bury his head in his food.

“Yoru, why didn’t you go to the student council?”

Shizuku Kitayama, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

“I didn’t receive an invitation!”

Chihaya Yoru didn’t care about this at all.

To be honest, the student council, as an excellent group, held a huge appeal for others, but for Chihaya Yoru, it was just so-so.

Just like Tatsuya Shiba, Chihaya Yoru treated it equally. Although he didn’t have Tatsuya Shiba’s military background, the Silvia family was even more formidable than the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and had a greater influence.

Not to mention a mere one of the Ten Master Clans, the Yotsuba family!

Having a background and not using a background are not the same thing. Although Chihaya Yoru generally wouldn’t let Tiffana mobilize her family’s power to help him, if someone really dared to think he was easy to bully, then they would be in trouble.

After all, Chihaya Yoru wasn’t a worshipper of individualism. If he had power behind him, he wouldn’t hesitate to use it.

So, for such opportunities that could add bonus points and prioritize good resources in the future, in his opinion, they were just so-so.

For now, he just wanted to enjoy his school days, handle his own affairs when something came up, and watch various excitements when there was nothing to do.

After all, the future of First High was not peaceful at all; on the contrary, it was quite lively!

Seeing Chihaya Yoru’s indifferent expression, Shizuku Kitayama wasn’t surprised. She just couldn’t help but remember what she had said at the bus stop that day: there were no ordinary people in this school.

“Um, if I may be so bold as to ask, Yoru-kun should have his own CAD, right?”

Shizuku Kitayama poked the steak on her plate a few times with her fork, seemingly a bit conflicted, though her expression remained blank.

“That’s right!”

“What’s wrong?”

Chihaya Yoru didn’t even lift his head and continued to eat.

“You maintain your CAD yourself, right?”

Shizuku Kitayama looked at Chihaya Yoru seriously.

“Hm?”

“How can you tell?”

Chihaya Yoru was a bit puzzled. He didn’t seem to have shown any magical engineer abilities, did he?

“Um, actually, a few days ago, when Yoru-kun was debugging equipment in the magic workshop, I accidentally saw it.”

At this point, Honoka Mitsui said weakly.

“Oh.”

To the surprise of the two girls, Chihaya Yoru nodded faintly, not blaming Honoka Mitsui’s curious peek.

“And then?”

Chihaya Yoru asked faintly, looking at the two girls.

“Aren’t you going to blame me?”

Honoka Mitsui was a bit surprised that Chihaya Yoru didn’t blame her for peeking, and she also used an honorific.

“It’s nothing. The magic workshop isn’t a particularly private place.”

Actually, Chihaya Yoru had known at the time and hadn’t cared at all; he had just forgotten about it.

“I want to invite you to work at my house!”
