Magical inferiority: quantum control Chapter 100

“???”

“What do you understand?”

Chiba Yoru looked at Mayumi Saegusa, who had an expression that seemed to say, “I get it.”

“The reason you don’t want the magic university to record ‘Light Energy Pulse’ is because other people can’t use this magic, right?”

“Oh?”

“So that’s how it is?”

Hearing Mayumi Saegusa’s words, Mari Watanabe looked thoughtful.

Indeed, Chiba Yoru had just said that the reason she could use it was because he had provided help.

“Hey, hey, hey!”

“Doesn’t this mean I violated the competition rules?”

Mari Watanabe suddenly remembered the rules of the Nine Schools Competition and her face changed drastically.

One must know that cheating in a major competition like the Nine Schools Competition would definitely result in severe punishment. Mari Watanabe’s face turned pale at the thought.

“What are you thinking?”

“I just provided you with defensive measures to ensure that you can successfully use the ‘Light Energy Pulse’ magic and that your body will not be damaged, that’s all.”

Chiba Yoru did not lie to Mari Watanabe about this point. This magic was indeed very dangerous, and he had spent a lot of effort designing it. Otherwise, even with his help, no one would be able to use this magic.

There is a saying that speed is power, and it perfectly describes the power backlash brought by “Light Energy Pulse”.

“Oh, I see!”

Mari Watanabe immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“Then I’ll just reject them directly on the grounds that the magic is still immature.”

Suzune Ichihara then made a note.

“What about Tatsuya-kun?”

“I have no problem here, but…”

Tatsuya Shiba stood up. No one knew what he wanted to say next. Only Chiba Yoru had an expression that said, “As expected.” Even if he was there, it didn’t seem to have much impact.

“However, if asked for the developer’s name, please answer with Kitayama’s name.”

“That won’t do!”

“This is your original work, Tatsuya.”

Shizuku Kitayama couldn’t sit still when she heard Tatsuya Shiba say that. She didn’t want to hide Tatsuya Shiba’s excellence.

Especially the person she recognized!

“It’s also common to register the name of the initial user as the developer of a new type of magic.”

Tatsuya Shiba cited a fact, trying to persuade everyone present.

“I think you’re overthinking it.”

Chiba Yoru suddenly spoke up, refuting Tatsuya Shiba’s words.

“Sometimes, constantly hiding things can attract attention, can’t it?”

Hearing Chiba Yoru’s words, Tatsuya Shiba’s pupils suddenly contracted.

“You really know a lot!”

Tatsuya Shiba’s words suddenly had a sense of distance, which was a sign of his wariness towards others.

“It’s alright.”

Chiba Yoru spread his hands, looking at Tatsuya Shiba with a smile.

“…….”

“Just use Tatsuya Shiba’s name.”

Chiba Yoru looked at Suzune Ichihara and gestured.

Suzune Ichihara looked at Tatsuya Shiba, and seeing that he didn’t object, she nodded.

“Um…”

Mayumi Saegusa was a little confused, looking at the two’s inexplicable conversation, and then Tatsuya Shiba suddenly fell silent.

“I just don’t want others to know that I developed a magic that I can’t use myself.”

Tatsuya Shiba glanced at Chiba Yoru and then explained to the others.

However, Tatsuya Shiba thought about it now, it seemed that he wasn’t that conspicuous in this Nine Schools Competition after all. After all, the most conspicuous guy was standing right in front of him. It seemed he had overthought things.

“Huh?”

“How do you confirm the operation of a magic that you can’t use yourself?”

Mari Watanabe looked at Tatsuya Shiba with some suspicion.

“It’s not completely unusable.”

“It just takes too long to activate, making it impractical.”

“Alright, alright, let’s not discuss this matter anymore. Aren’t we supposed to celebrate our athletes and engineers now?”

“It’s a great achievement to get off to a good start!”

Mayumi Saegusa saw that the atmosphere was starting to get serious, and quickly interrupted the discussion, changing the subject.

After all, everyone has their own secrets and privacy, and she didn’t want Mari Watanabe to keep digging, in case she hit a landmine.

“Tatsuya-kun, I hope you maintain this state in other competitions as well!”

Mayumi Saegusa walked up to Tatsuya Shiba and encouraged him.

“Of course, Chiba Yoru-kouhai must also maintain his condition.”

……….

A certain conference room

The sign on the door indicated that Third High was in use. The same tables and chairs, the same layout, the same people. The screen displayed the total scores and rankings of various high schools, and discussions constantly emanated from within.

That’s right, they were having a meeting again.

“So, Masaki, do you think First High’s performance isn’t due to their individual abilities?”

A member of Third High asked.

“Indeed, I must admit that the champion, Kitayama, has extraordinary magical power, but I don’t feel that extraordinary excellence from the other two.

“It shouldn’t be possible to achieve the result of taking both second and third place just by magical power.”

Masaki Ichijou, sitting in the main seat, held his shoulders and analyzed with a headache.

One Chiba Yoru was already headache-inducing enough, and now there was another. He remembered saying that it was impossible to have another one, but who would have thought…

What kind of hellish level is this?

Chiba Yoru and Tatsuya Shiba are actually in the same school? Are you kidding me?

Masaki Ichijou’s original confidence had been severely battered, and now he was truly a bit tired.

“And the current performance in the Wave Board Race is simply unwatchable. The combination of Mari Watanabe and Chiba Yoru is too unbeatable.”

George Kashikura also added insult to injury.

Third High is in agony right now. Forget about first place, they might not even be able to hold onto second place. Their strong events are almost all within First High’s attack range. What the hell are they supposed to play now?!

“The strength of Chiba Yoru and Tatsuya Shiba is by no means at the high school level. To be honest, Chiba Yoru even makes me a little confused.”

George Kashikura was also helpless. Although there were no useless teammates, they couldn’t stand against two gods!

Hearing George Kashikura’s words, Masaki Ichijou felt a little tired again.

However, even though he was very tired, as the captain, he had to boost morale. Otherwise, the subsequent matches would be unwatchable. He had no hope for first place, but he couldn’t possibly come back in third place, could he?

If that were the case, Masaki Ichijou would really have no face to see anyone.

“As George said, we didn’t lose because of the skill of our players, but because of the skill of our engineers.”

Hearing Masaki Ichijou’s words, the faces of the people sitting below looked bad, but there was nothing they could do. They were indeed inferior in skill!

They didn’t even have a chance to refute.

“However, although the engineer responsible for rapid-fire, Tatsuya Shiba, is highly skilled, he’s not on the same level as Chiba Yoru.”

As Masaki Ichijou’s old partner, George Kashikura naturally wouldn’t undermine him and also had to try to salvage the low morale.

“Hmm, even so, that Tatsuya Shiba should not be underestimated. You noticed, right?”

“Mm!”
