Magical inferiority: quantum control Chapter 114

“I am Ikagura from Third High School, first year!”

“Also a first-year from Third High School, Kichijoji Shinkuro!”

Chiba Yoru walked along the road when he suddenly heard two voices from ahead. He subconsciously looked forward, and what came into his view were two people in dark red clothes, standing in front of Shiba Tatsuya and Shiba Miyuki, introducing themselves.

“I am Shiba Tatsuya, a first-year from First High School.”

Shiba Tatsuya introduced himself.

“So, what brings the ‘Crimson Prince’ and ‘Original George’ here before the competition?”

Shiba Tatsuya squinted his eyes, looking at the two with great confusion.

Upon hearing Shiba Tatsuya’s question, the two did not speak but instead looked behind Shiba Tatsuya and Shiba Miyuki.

“This must be Chiba Yoru, right?”

Ikagura saw Chiba Yoru, his eyes slightly solemn. Although the guy in front of him was also very strong, he was not a competitor, so they wouldn’t encounter each other. But the guy behind him was different; not only did he instantly defeat their Third High School team in the ‘Ice Pillar Defense’ event, but he was also a maintenance engineer even stronger than Shiba Tatsuya!

Because these two from Third High School had barely won anything in the girls’ division, their only victories were in events that First High School did not participate in.

However, thankfully, First High School’s boys’ division was terrible. It could be said that their Third High School always won against them, rarely losing. From this perspective, Ikagura was quite grateful to the male students of First High School; otherwise, their current total score might not even be enough for third place!

After all, there were no issues with Watanabe Mari’s events now; she basically secured victories consistently, without any surprises.

Shiba Tatsuya and Shiba Miyuki also turned to look behind them. Indeed, Chiba Yoru walked over with a calm expression.

“Oh?”

“I didn’t expect to be remembered by you two. What, does a plain and ordinary person like me also have a reputation now?”

Chiba Yoru was actually quite curious about the two people opposite him. One discovered the original code after disappearing, and the other entered the military from a young age. The strength of these two was incomparable to ordinary high school students. Even when standing with stronger existences, they were among the top tier. This combination could be said to be invincible!

It was just a pity that if Shiba Tatsuya, that pervert, hadn’t been in the way, Third High School might have taken the lead in this year’s Nine Schools Competition. He couldn’t help but feel sad for these two; now, not only was there Shiba Tatsuya, but also himself.

“Indeed, I had never heard your name before the Nine Schools Competition, but starting today, I will remember the name Chiba Yoru very well.”

Kichijoji Shinkuro looked at Chiba Yoru, scrutinizing him carefully, as if he really wanted to engrave this person firmly in his mind.

“Oh?”

“That’s truly an honor!”

Chiba Yoru chuckled lightly, as if genuinely honored.

“Shiba Tatsuya, this is also the first time I’ve heard your name, but your brilliant record has also left a deep impression on me. I will not forget it. You two must be the most talented technicians since the Nine Schools Competition began!”

Kichijoji Shinkuro also looked at Shiba Tatsuya, examining him closely.

“It seems both of you know us!”

“However, that’s even better. We just wanted to see you two: one, a genius magician and also a genius technician who completely crushed our Third High School in one event, and the other, also a genius technician. It’s certainly worth us coming to say hello, isn’t it?”

Ikagura’s gaze kept sweeping back and forth between Shiba Tatsuya and Chiba Yoru, finally settling on Shiba Tatsuya as he answered his previous question.

“To be praised as geniuses by a genius boy who discovered one of the original codes at the age of thirteen, and by someone renowned in the military as a prince, is truly flattering!”

“However, your actions are indeed out of the ordinary!”

It was important to note that the preparation rooms for Third High School and First High School were not next to each other, so such a sudden visit to say hello made it hard not to overthink.

“Miyuki, you go prepare first.”

Shiba Miyuki glanced at Shiba Tatsuya, then nodded and quietly left. Ikagura watched her departure.

“You two are really leisurely!”

“To even have time to specifically visit me and Tatsuya, should we be grateful?”

Chiba Yoru looked at the two, his intrigued gaze making them instinctively tense up.

“Prince, you should be going on stage for your match soon, shouldn’t you?”

Shiba Tatsuya glanced at Chiba Yoru, then spoke.

“We’re participating in tomorrow’s ‘Monolith Code.’ How about you two?”

Kichijoji Shinkuro knew that Chiba Yoru only participated in ‘Ice Pillar Defense,’ but they didn’t know if either of them was responsible for tomorrow’s ‘Monolith Code,’ which led to this question.

“Don’t worry, neither Tatsuya nor I are responsible for that!”

Looking at Kichijoji Shinkuro’s face, which was even more expressionless than Shiba Tatsuya’s when he spoke, Chiba Yoru suddenly felt that Shiba Tatsuya was cuter. After all, he was emotionally detached but not paralyzed, whereas this guy…

It was hard to describe!

“Is that so?”

“That’s truly a pity!”

A hint of provocation suddenly appeared on Kichijoji Shinkuro’s expressionless face.

“I truly wish that one day I could compete on the same stage with the player you are responsible for!”

“And you, I hope we can face each other directly!”

Kichijoji Shinkuro suddenly looked at Chiba Yoru and said seriously.

“Can I consider that a challenge?”

“Yes!”

Kichijoji Shinkuro answered without hesitation upon hearing Chiba Yoru’s words.

“But unfortunately, I look forward to the day we clash!”

“Of course, we will definitely win!”

“…”

“…”

Chiba Yoru and Shiba Tatsuya both fell silent.

“We’ve taken up your valuable time.”

“However, I look forward to meeting you again.”

Ikagura finished speaking and walked away with Kichijoji Shinkuro.

“Phew!”

Chiba Yoru and Shiba Tatsuya exchanged glances, both sighing simultaneously, feeling quite helpless.

“If you’re going to gather information, just gather information. Why make it sound so high-minded? Are all Ten Master Clans like this?”

Chiba Yoru looked at Shiba Tatsuya, very curious.

“Uh…”

Shiba Tatsuya didn’t know how to answer. It seemed like they really were mostly like that.

As for the guy in front of him knowing about his Ten Master Clans identity, his sister had already told him. However, he was no longer as wary of Chiba Yoru.

After spending so much time together, he found Chiba Yoru to be a very good person. Although occasionally lazy, he had indeed helped his sister a lot, and he was grateful to Chiba Yoru from the bottom of his heart.

Right!

From Shiba Tatsuya’s speechless expression, he knew.

However, Kichijoji Shinkuro, this kid really needed a peaceful discussion!
