Magical inferiority: quantum control Chapter 137

August 12th

Main Competition, Monolith Code, Semifinals.

“There shouldn’t be any suspense in this match either.”

Chiba Yoru looked at the three First High students on the field whose names she didn’t know. Although unfamiliar, their strength seemed quite good from their magic, and it was obvious they had used a certain strategy. From the start, their opponents had been on the defensive, so it was unlikely the outcome would change unexpectedly.

“Mm, we’ve made ample preparations for this semifinal.”

Saegusa Mayumi nodded. They were confident in advancing to the finals.

“Yesterday, I went out with the Jungler to handle some things.”

Chiba Yoru said softly, watching the match.

“Mm.”

Saegusa Mayumi nodded.

“Aren’t you curious?”

“If you’re willing to tell me, you’ll say it yourself, won’t you?”

Saegusa Mayumi smiled, looking at Chiba Yoru sitting beside her.

“Should I say thank you?”

Chiba Yoru joked.

“No need for that.”

“Yesterday, we took down the Headless Dragon’s high-ranking branch in Japan…”

Chiba Yoru said, looking at Saegusa Mayumi and carefully observing the expression on her face.

There was no surprise, just calm. Although she was watching the match, there were no traces of concealment. Clearly, Saegusa Mayumi had known before Chiba Yoru even spoke.

“Mm.”

Saegusa Mayumi listened carefully to Chiba Yoru’s words, nodding occasionally, without worry, without tension, without surprise.

“Why aren’t you continuing?”

Hearing Chiba Yoru fall silent, Saegusa Mayumi turned her head to look at him, finding him intently watching her.

“Thank you.”

Chiba Yoru looked at the match. He had already understood whose people the two consecutive followers were. Before, he had only wanted to confirm, after all, no one wanted a little tail constantly behind them. Once confirmed that it had nothing to do with Saegusa Mayumi, Chiba Yoru would definitely use thunderous means to completely eradicate the other party, no matter which force they belonged to. It wasn’t like he had no fallback; he had people behind him too, alright?

Moreover, tracking and surveillance itself was a hostile act. Even if he killed the other party, the force behind them wouldn’t dare say much.

When he discovered that person for the second time, Chiba Yoru had already had a guess. Even if it was true, he wouldn’t be surprised, but he hadn’t expected Saegusa Mayumi not even to try to conceal it. This surprised Chiba Yoru, but also warmed his heart.

Although the Ten Master Clans were powerful and deeply rooted in Japan, it wasn’t difficult to dispatch a powerful magician, but it wasn’t something just any high school student could mobilize, not even with written orders.

Thanks to Tiffana, Chiba Yoru was very familiar with the rules of these families. Calling them rules, they were actually a form of self-protection.

For Saegusa Mayumi to be able to send such a powerful magician, she must have paid a considerable price, right?

Thinking of this, Chiba Yoru’s gaze towards Saegusa Mayumi grew even more fervent. If they weren’t in a public place, he really wanted to pull Saegusa Mayumi into his arms and thoroughly cuddle her.

Eh?

Why did it feel like he had adopted a cat?

Forget it, never mind!

“I was worried about your safety!”

“You won’t be angry with me, will you?”

Regarding sending someone to follow Chiba Yoru, Saegusa Mayumi was honestly a bit nervous internally, very afraid of causing Chiba Yoru to misunderstand. Saegusa Mayumi lowered her head and asked cautiously.

“How could I be?”

“I’m grateful, if anything.”

Chiba Yoru genuinely didn’t mind and didn’t misunderstand anything; he just wanted to confirm that the other party had no ill intentions towards him.

“Lift your head. No matter how much you bow, you can still see your toes.”

Seeing Saegusa Mayumi’s rare girlish demeanor, Chiba Yoru couldn’t help but tease.

“???”

“What do you mean?”

Saegusa Mayumi was full of question marks. If she bowed her head, what else would she look at besides her toes?

Chiba Yoru leaned close to Saegusa Mayumi’s ear and softly whispered the phrase, “If you bow your head and cannot see your toes, then you are a peerless beauty.”

“???”

“!!!”

“You dare to call me small?”

Saegusa Mayumi’s heart instantly surged with anger.

“I can still develop!”

Saegusa Mayumi puffed out her chest and looked at Chiba Yoru with an unfriendly expression, as if to say, ‘If you dare to deny that I can still develop, I’ll fight you.’

“Mm, senpai can definitely do it, I believe in you!”

Swallowing his saliva, Chiba Yoru quickly nodded, indicating that his senpai could definitely develop even more perfectly.

While the two were talking and teasing, the match also ended.

“You worked hard yesterday.”

In a tearoom, Kazama Genhachiro sat at the tea table, speaking to Chiba Yoru.

“No, the main things were done by Chiba Yoru. I didn’t do much.”

Shiba Tatsuya quickly denied.

That’s right, he only threw a few ‘Cloud Dissipation’ spells, unlike Chiba Yoru, who demolished the entire building. The construction developers were happy, but the police department was cursing up a storm, having to step in to appease the public, claiming it was just an accidental gas explosion and the hole was blown out. For a time, they were overwhelmed.

Anyway, whether the citizens believed it or not, as long as they believed it, it was fine.

Now that he thought about it, compared to Chiba Yoru’s method, Shiba Tatsuya intercepting a radio signal and killing two people really didn’t seem like much. He wasn’t being humble.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment.

“I was talking about the Nine Schools Competition venue yesterday.”

Kazama Genhachiro directly changed the subject.

“He was also involved in that matter, but I still have to thank everyone for their help.”

That’s more like it!

That sounded much more comfortable to hear.

“It wasn’t just your matter; after all, it happened right before my eyes, so it was impossible not to intervene.”

Yanagi Retsu also spoke.

“Besides, we collected a lot of data yesterday!”

Sanada Shigeru’s words clearly referred to the events of the evening.

Although they hadn’t followed Shiba Tatsuya and Chiba Yoru, it didn’t mean they weren’t on site.

“I’ve never seen Chiba Yoru’s magic before!”

Fujibayashi Kyoko recalled the colorful light stream from the previous day, feeling a sense of awe. How was this genius?

This kind of thing shouldn’t even exist in reality, alright?

It was too abnormal!

Even if Shiba Tatsuya, Ichijou Masaki, and Kichijouji Shinkurou combined, they couldn’t compare, could they?

Since she started paying attention to Chiba Yoru, he had hardly ever used pre-registered magic, only newly developed spells!

“What’s that magic called?”

Fujibayashi Kyoko suddenly remembered that she didn’t know the name of this magic, so she looked at Shiba Tatsuya, hoping he could enlighten her.

The others also looked at Shiba Tatsuya. They were all very curious about that magic that could selectively attack.

“The magic is called ‘Quantum Streamline’.”
