Magical inferiority: quantum control Chapter 101

“That North Mountain player’s CAD is quite impressive!”

“That’s a general-purpose type!”

Hearing Ichijou Masaki’s words, Kichijouji Shinkurou also nodded.

“How is that possible?”

“It clearly has aiming assistance installed!”

A girl said, somewhat incredulously.

“It’s not a specialized type?”

“I thought it was a specialized type!”

“Yeah!”

“The shape of the CAD rifle is just a design, in fact, it has little in common with a rifle.”

“I’ve never heard of a general-purpose magic device in the shape of a rifle.”

“It hasn’t appeared in the catalog of any manufacturer’s products.”

With Kichijouji Shinkurou’s words, the people in the conference room began to discuss it. They had seen specialized CADs, but they had never seen this kind of general-purpose magic device with an aiming system.

“It’s indeed not sold on the market.”

“However, this unexpected situation also has clues, at least we won’t be completely ignorant like last time with Chiba Yeyou.”

Ichijou Masaki also said some relatively good news.

“Hmm, a magic device that integrates aiming assistance and general-purpose functionality does exist.”

“Really?”

“It’s a new technology presented in Düsseldorf last summer.”

Seeing the incredulous expressions of the others, Kichijouji Shinkurou showed no emotional fluctuations.

He had also investigated that experiment from last year.

“Has last summer’s technology already been put into practical use so soon?”

The participants in the meeting looked at each other. They were somewhat taken aback that a new technology still in experimentation could be put into practical use so quickly.

“Not at all!”

“Actually, I only found out after investigating this incident.”

Ichijou Masaki said calmly, but his expression was somewhat solemn.

If he felt that Chiba Yeyou’s strength was simply strong but still somewhat elusive, then Shiba Tatsuya’s strength was traceable, which made Ichijou Masaki feel a sense of relief.

Although the current situation wasn’t much better.

“Hmm, the prototype presented in Düsseldorf had not reached a practical level.”

“Slow movements, low accuracy, and various problems with magic operation, it was truly a product ‘simply assembled,’ with no practical value, merely an experimental product with technical significance.”

Kichijouji Shinkurou explained the information he had learned from his investigation.

“But this time, the magic device used by the North Mountain player from First High has not only the accuracy and speed of a specialized type but also the advantages of a general-purpose type’s multi-system magic processing capabilities. If all of this is achieved by the skill of the (Seibishi -: Maintenance technician)…”

“It’s certainly not at the level of a high school student.”

Hearing Ichijou Masaki’s analysis, they couldn’t help but fall silent.

One Chiba Yeyou was already a pain, and now another Shiba Tatsuya…

“But!”

“I believe we can still achieve victory!”

Ichijou Masaki’s sudden turn almost made Kichijouji Shinkurou, who was drinking water, spit it out.

If there was only one Shiba Tatsuya on the opposing side, he might have considered trying, but there was also an even more terrifying one. He still hadn’t figured out the original magic, 「」(Guangneng Maichong – Light Energy Pulse), from that person!

It was as if magic recognized him, but he didn’t recognize this magic.

This was truly a try-and-you-die situation, big brother!

Do you even hear what you’re saying?

Kichijouji Shinkurou looked at Ichijou Masaki with a strange expression, a sticky note with ‘Please begin your performance’ almost plastered on his forehead.

“Bang!”

“Although their (Seibishi -: Maintenance technician) are powerful and might cause us trouble, I believe in your magic abilities. We will definitely win the championship and break First High’s winning streak myth!”

Watching Ichijou Masaki slap the table and boldly boost morale, Kichijouji Shinkurou almost couldn’t hold back.

What are you doing?

His mind was full of question marks now.

Although he was confident that he and Ichijou Masaki could definitely win the heavily weighted Monolith Code event, what about the other events?

Looking at Ichijou Masaki’s gaze and then at the confident expressions of the players, he understood.

He also cheered in cooperation.

Ichijou Masaki breathed a sigh of relief; he was also helpless.

This was like a war on the battlefield. If morale was lost, half the battle was already lost without even fighting. Moreover, looking at the current situation, if they were allowed to remain silent, it was highly likely that when they faced the Third High players later, they would directly receive a pressure BUFF, and wouldn’t that lead to mistakes?

Ichijou Masaki was definitely more farsighted than these people. Regardless of the outcome of the match, they couldn’t be timid before the battle. At the very least, they had to let the players go on stage with peace of mind and show their peak condition, instead of going on stage with a built-in DEBUFF.

He certainly wouldn’t dare to say that their CADs were at least two or even three generations behind the opponent’s.

This was just an estimation of Shiba Tatsuya’s terrifying (Seibishi -: Maintenance technician) strength.

Although one (Seibishi -: Maintenance technician) couldn’t be responsible for all the players’ matches, they had two!

And each one was more outrageous than the last!

They still couldn’t figure out what that guy named Chiba Yeyou was!

Their CADs were almost the same, and there were no obvious new technology features, but theirs were just too much better than their own. This truly touched Ichijou Masaki and Kichijouji Shinkurou’s knowledge blind spots.

From now on, encountering players from Third High would basically be a tough battle.

The main point was the fear that players would be under pressure and make mistakes that shouldn’t have happened, which was Ichijou Masaki’s real concern.

However, although their team’s morale seemed to have recovered now, they still needed something to give their team members enough confidence!

Ichijou Masaki and Kichijouji Shinkurou exchanged glances, instantly understanding each other’s thoughts.

Chiba Yeyou was unaware of the headaches on Third High’s side; he would probably just smile if he knew.

He was now coming out of the venue, having already parted ways with the others.

Although this area was a military control zone, it was actually opened up to a considerable extent due to the Nine Schools Competition. However, soldiers were rarely seen on the roads here, only an occasional officer walking by.

Speaking of which, the night in this military control zone indeed had a unique charm. Perhaps it was because he had been in an urban environment for too long. Although Chiba Yeyou’s home was also in the suburbs, it was very different from the military control zone. The facilities here were complete, but much of the original natural scenery was preserved.

Chiba Yeyou walked on the small path, with occasional bird calls coming from the trees on both sides, and the rustling sound of leaves intertwining also made one feel relaxed.

The air was also much fresher. Although there were many vehicles here, it was nothing compared to the pollution in the city.

“Sigh!”

“Such environments are becoming rarer and rarer!”

Chiba Yeyou stretched comfortably, preparing to go back and rest.

As Chiba Yeyou walked, he suddenly frowned, and then a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“Interesting!”
