Magical inferiority: quantum control Chapter 068

“………”

Hattori Gyobu was rendered speechless by Kirihara Takeaki’s idiot-like gaze.

“What exactly is the specific situation of that matter?”

“I asked the President, but she refused to reveal anything, and no information could be found. It was all sealed.”

Hattori Gyobu’s curiosity, which had dissipated, was rekindled by Kirihara Takeaki’s words.

“Since the President is unwilling to speak, I certainly won’t reveal anything to you, but I advise you to find a more realistic goal!”

Even President Saegusa was unwilling to reveal it, so Kirihara Takeaki certainly wouldn’t easily blurt it out. He just patted Hattori Gyobu’s shoulder as a gesture of comfort.

“Hmm?”

Kirihara Takeaki turned his head and suddenly saw Shiba Tatsuya pushing his luggage and talking to Shiba Miyuki beside him.

“What’s wrong?”

Hattori Gyobu, who had a complex expression, heard Kirihara Takeaki’s voice and followed his gaze.

“Shiba-kun.”

“This brother and sister are probably not simple either!”

Ignoring the vice-president beside him who was muttering about girls, he murmured as he looked at the two people opposite, sighing.

“Hmm?”

“What’s wrong with Shiba-kun?”

Hattori Gyobu looked at Kirihara Takeaki in confusion.

“Can’t you stop only paying attention to female students?”

Kirihara Takeaki gave Hattori Gyobu a look of disdain.

“What?”

“President Saegusa is already taken, so you’ve started looking for your next target?”

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

Hattori Gyobu firmly opposed this and expressed anger at Kirihara Takeaki’s slander.

“Weren’t you also staring at Mibu Sayaka all this time!”

“You’ve been staring for several years, haven’t you? You know her so well.”

“You!”

Kirihara Takeaki, who had been calm, also lost his composure when he heard Hattori Gyobu’s merciless counterattack.

“We are true love!”

“And don’t change the subject!”

Kirihara Takeaki recovered his expression and continued to calmly look at the brother and sister in the distance.

“That brother is very not simple. Although the killing intent he revealed when he heard about the mastermind was only for a moment, I still sensed it. It was truly terrifying, not at all weaker than the killing intent on my Navy old man and his comrades.”

“No, it should be even stronger than the killing intent on them, like a cloak enveloping him. He must have killed before.”

Kirihara Takeaki looked at the brother and sister in the distance with a somewhat serious expression. Although what he said leaned towards speculation, his tone was very certain.

“Is Shiba-kun the same?”

Hattori Gyobu frowned and looked at Kirihara Takeaki with a serious expression.

“Why don’t you ask Chiba Yoru first?”

“Then what about Chiba Yoru?”

“……”

Hattori Gyobu’s reaction made Kirihara Takeaki rub his forehead.

“Don’t misunderstand, it’s just that only the Shiba siblings are within my line of sight, so of course I’d ask Shiba Miyuki first!”

Hattori Gyobu quickly explained.

“Alright, alright.”

“But no matter the reason, I’m happy for you that you can give up your masochistic thoughts.”

“Chiba Yoru doesn’t have that much killing intent, but he’s not bad when he kills either. Hmm, you’d better not provoke him.”

Kirihara Takeaki glanced at Hattori Gyobu, and the meaning in his eyes was crystal clear.

“Don’t worry, I only had pure admiration for the President. Just the Saegusa family behind her is enough to make me stop short. I can still distinguish between dreams and reality.”

Hattori Gyobu’s expression, as if to say, “Do I need you to remind me?”, made Kirihara Takeaki feel that his reminder was not in vain.

“As for Shiba Miyuki, although I haven’t seen her with my own eyes, she’s definitely not an ordinary girl.”

“But isn’t ‘the superiority of a magician not determined by the strength of their magical power’?”

“What exactly do you want to say?”

Hattori Gyobu was completely baffled by Kirihara Takeaki’s sudden words, completely at a loss.

This sentence was very much like a mockery of himself, or rather, it already was, after all, he was once a loyal believer of this sentence. Unfortunately, now that the dream is shattered, this sentence only sounds more harsh.

“If the President heard this from your mouth, she would be overjoyed.”

Kirihara Takeaki ignored Hattori Gyobu’s subsequent reaction and walked straight to the arranged dormitory.

“The President?”

Hattori Gyobu understood the meaning of Kirihara Takeaki’s words. If he could still say this sentence now, it would mean that he was still so confident, right?

Hattori Gyobu felt that he had indeed been looking at the sky from the bottom of a well, which was somewhat ridiculous.

“However, I’m not someone who loses confidence that easily!”

Hattori Gyobu murmured and caught up with Kirihara Takeaki’s pace.

Hearing the footsteps catching up to him, Kirihara Takeaki couldn’t help but curl his lips.

“Whether it’s a Course 1 student or a Course 2 student, isn’t it just the result of the practical exam before enrollment?”

“There are quite a few capable people among the current Course 2 students, especially in the first year.”

“And there’s also a Course 1 student who, based on what has been revealed so far, can be called a demon king. This year is truly lively!”

Kirihara Takeaki hugged his head and muttered to himself.

“More than that!”

“It really puts a lot of pressure on us seniors!”

Hattori Gyobu’s mind flashed with various faces: Chiba Yoru, Shiba Tatsuya, Shiba Miyuki, and Chiba Erika, with whom he often had friendly exchanges. These were the people he knew so far, and there might be others he hadn’t discovered yet.

“Did you just think that wasn’t an accident?”

Shiba Miyuki asked, following beside her brother.

“Yes, I just had a brief exchange with Chiba Yoru. Although the vehicle has been destroyed, based on his feedback, it can be confirmed that there are traces of magic.”

“He also brought up this issue.”

Shiba Tatsuya walked and pondered while pushing his luggage.

“But I didn’t see anything…”

“Do you remember the magic compression he taught you?”

“Are you saying, magic of extremely small scale?”

Shiba Miyuki was reminded by her brother and immediately thought of this.

“Yes, the magic scale is very small, but it’s not your kind of compression ability. It’s originally very small magic, and the power is also reduced to the lowest point, just enough to ensure that it can be triggered and take effect. The execution is also instantaneous.”

“There were a total of three advanced spells with no residual psions from the magic formulas.”

“The first was a spell to make the tire burst, the second was a spell to make the car spin, and the third was a spell to apply an upward diagonal force to the car, causing it to leap using the barrier as a springboard. All of them should have been released from inside the car.”

“Perhaps, it was to conceal the use of magic and make this conspiracy look more like a traffic accident!”

Shiba Tatsuya carefully analyzed the conclusions he and Chiba Yoru had reached for Shiba Miyuki.

“Then the person who released the magic is…”

“Probably the driver.”
