Magical inferiority: quantum control Chapter 070

The entire hall suddenly plunged into darkness, and this sudden scene left everyone stunned.

“What’s going on?”

Chiba Erika’s body, which had just taken a few steps, immediately tensed up and moved closer to Chiba Yoru, adopting a defensive posture.

“You’re suffering from sequelae from the last incident, aren’t you?”

Chiba Yoru looked at Chiba Erika’s nervous appearance, finding it somewhat amusing.

One should know that this was a military facility, not easily breached, let alone at this time. The security measures here were several times stricter than those at the Nine Schools Competition venue.

“Uh, that was just an unconscious reaction.”

Chiba Erika came back to her senses and explained awkwardly. After Chiba Yoru’s reminder, she also realized that this was not First High School. The guards were very strict, and safety naturally increased by several levels. She was indeed a bit too nervous.

“Bang!”

As the two spoke, a beam of light suddenly appeared on the stage of the venue, revealing the figure of a woman. This made the elites from various high schools in the venue feel a bit confused. Although their confusion deepened, the vigilance on their faces completely disappeared. After all, the name “military facility” was enough to reassure them.

“See, it’s just a little trick.”

Chiba Yoru gestured to Chiba Erika.

“Is this woman going to give a speech?”

“How come I didn’t know about this part?”

Chiba Erika knew some of the procedures for the dance, but at this moment, she also became confused.

“No, look behind that woman. Right, that guy activated mental interference magic. Although it’s not very advanced, it’s quite exquisite. Here, now you should be able to see clearly.”

Chiba Yoru said, then patted Chiba Erika’s shoulder.

Chiba Erika instantly saw Kushima Retsu, an old man with a full head of white hair and a serious expression, hidden in the shadows.

“Was that a large-scale magic that covered the entire venue?”

“That’s right. The reason those guys didn’t react was just because they weren’t observing carefully, plus they weren’t on guard at all. If you observe carefully, you can also see the people behind.”

Chiba Yoru explained to Chiba Erika, but it was a bit strange. Did no one explain the situation to this guy beforehand when he came on stage?

Or rather, something like “Welcome, Lord Kushima’s speech.”

It seems there’s been a change?

Chiba Yoru pondered, looking at the old man.

Kushima Retsu said something in the woman’s ear, then the woman stepped out of the shadow’s edge, revealing Kushima Retsu’s figure.

Kushima Retsu didn’t speak directly but smiled in Shiba Tatsuya’s direction, then looked at everyone in the hall, preparing his speech.

It seems Shiba Tatsuya’s identity is crystal clear in the eyes of some people!

I wonder how much you all know about me?

Chiba Yoru couldn’t help but show a hint of a smile, finding it very interesting.

“First, I apologize for making everyone play this prank with me. What I just called magic would be more accurately described as a slightly advanced illusion. However, from what I’ve seen, only six, no, only seven people saw through this illusion.”

Kushima Retsu originally wanted to say six people, but his gaze suddenly turned towards Chiba Yoru, then changed to seven people.

For Chiba Yoru, a grand figure like Kushima Retsu, an elder of the Ten Master Clans, would certainly not pay much attention, but he would definitely know Chiba Erika, the daughter of the Chiba family, who was by his side.

And Chiba Yoru could detect and help Chiba Erika, which indicated that he noticed the moment he activated the magic, which led to such a calm and composed reaction. This made Kushima Retsu curious about Chiba Yoru.

“In other words, if I were a terrorist and wanted to attack with poison gas or a bomb.”

Then you would have died at least twice by the time you made your move, Chiba Yoru silently interjected in his mind.

“Only seven people would be able to stop me from acting.”

As soon as Kushima Retsu’s words came out, the faces of all the elites present changed.

“Juniors learning magic, magic is just a means; it is not an end in itself.”

“The magic I just used was very large in scale, but extremely low in intensity.”

“Yet you were deceived by such weak magic, and few of you even recognized my presence. Efforts to improve magical ability must not be relaxed, but I hope you remember that such efforts alone are not enough.”

“A great magic used incorrectly is inferior to a small magic meticulously refined in its use. Juniors learning magic, I look forward to your meticulous refinement.”

The elites present were stunned at first, then couldn’t help but feel sincere admiration for Kushima Retsu’s speech, spontaneously beginning to applaud.

“As expected of a great educator, his words are indeed different.”

Chiba Yoru also applauded and praised him.

“Great educator?”

Hearing Chiba Yoru’s words, Chiba Erika looked at Chiba Yoru with some curiosity.

“Hmm.”

“He taught Yotsuba Maya, Yotsuba Miyuki, and Saegusa Hiroichi, a truly formidable person.”

Chiba Yoru truly admired this old man. This was truly a case of a famous teacher producing brilliant students.

“Then that’s…”

Chiba Erika looked at Chiba Yoru with a surprised expression, wanting to confirm if they were the three people she was thinking of.

“That’s right, it’s just as you think.”

“Hiss!”

“He’s indeed a formidable person.”

Chiba Erika immediately agreed with Chiba Yoru’s assessment.

Standing at the pinnacle of magicians in this country, that’s a grandmaster!

“It seems this was the main purpose of this social gathering!”

Chiba Yoru sighed.

“Hmm, it should be so.”

Chiba Erika nodded in agreement.

After Kushima Retsu’s speech, the people in the hall gradually shifted the topic to what had just happened. The restless atmosphere caused by seeing beautiful girls or handsome boys calmed down quite a bit.

Before long, the social gathering began to disperse. After all, what needed to be said had been said, and what students from various high schools needed to know, they had learned. Those who didn’t understand wouldn’t be told anyway. In any case, the social gathering had come to an end.

“I think he must be one of them.”

As Chiba Yoru walked out of the venue, he heard a familiar voice. Turning back, it was indeed Saegusa Mayumi and Watanabe Mari.

“Chiba Yoru!”

Watanabe Mari waved to Chiba Yoru, asking him to wait for them.

The few of them quickly walked up to Chiba Yoru.

“Saegusa Mayumi just said that you must have discovered the magic just now, right?”
