Magical inferiority: quantum control Chapter 141

“Why do I feel like it’s become so much more boring after the Nine Schools Competition?”

Inside the student council room, Chiba Yoru Yuu listlessly poked a fried chicken cutlet with his fork. Even his favorite fried chicken cutlet couldn’t pique his interest.

“The Thesis Competition is coming up soon, that’s quite an interesting event.”

Saegusa Mayumi reached out and took the fork from Chiba Yoru Yuu’s hand.

“You can spare this piece of fried chicken!”

“Come, open wide, ah~”

Saegusa Mayumi broke off a piece of the chicken cutlet, speared it with the fork, and brought it to Chiba Yoru Yuu’s mouth, directly feeding him.

“Awoo!”

“The fried chicken that Senior Saegusa forks up tastes even better!”

“I say, there are so many people here, can you two please pay attention?”

“It’s been so long since the Nine Schools Competition, aren’t you two tired of it?”

Watanabe Mari looked full, with a pained expression, watching the two openly display their affection.

Uh, it seemed she was stuffed.

Ever since the Nine Schools Competition, when Chiba Yoru Yuu and Saegusa Mayumi’s relationship was made clear by that one bite, the two had become increasingly brazen.

“Right now, it seems like the only ones who can compare to them are those two, right?”

Chiba Erika also had a look of utter despair, pointing her index finger at the Shiba siblings next to her. That’s right, Shiba Miyuki was imitating them.

“Miyuki, actually, I can do this myself.”

Shiba Tatsuya felt a bit awkward from being watched and said to Shiba Miyuki.

“It’s fine, isn’t it only natural for a younger sister to feed her older brother?”

Shiba Miyuki looked at her brother with deep affection.

“Ew~”

“Alright, alright, quickly put away your powers, even I, a young man in love, find this mushy.”

“Can’t we just not stimulate you two anymore?!”

Chiba Yoru Yuu got goosebumps watching their actions.

“Speaking of which, you two really don’t look like you’re acting.”

Ichihara Suzune delivered a direct critical hit.

Shiba Miyuki looked a bit embarrassed, her small face flushed.

“Oh, right, speaking of the Thesis Competition, I’ll tell you a secret!”

“Actually, Shiba Tatsuya was invited to be a co-author this time.”

Watanabe Mari revealed a not-so-secret secret.

“Oh?”

“Really?”

“Mm.”

Shiba Tatsuya nodded.

“Actually, I was invited by Senior Ichihara.”

Shiba Tatsuya explained.

Hearing Shiba Tatsuya’s words, everyone’s gaze fell on Ichihara Suzune.

“That’s right.”

“The Thesis Competition has one main author and two co-authors. One person couldn’t participate due to illness.”

“And my thesis topic is the technical feasibility of a gravity control magic-formula thermonuclear fusion reactor, which aligns perfectly with Tatsuya’s research direction. With only three weeks left, I couldn’t find a better choice than him.”

Ichihara Suzune explained.

“What exactly is the Thesis Competition for?”

“Is it just to present theses?”

Chiba Erika asked curiously.

“The Thesis Competition is a place for high school students to present their research findings in magicology or magic engineering. The presented theses may be included in the Magic Encyclopedia. After all, not everyone dislikes publishing their research findings like Chiba Yoru Yuu; many people are willing to publish them for discussion.”

“You’re introducing it, why bring me up?”

That’s right, during the Nine Schools Competition, Chiba Yoru Yuu rejected all the people from the Magic University who came to collect magic.

Are you kidding? Chiba Yoru Yuu’s magic, how could it be casually included?!

Of course, Ichihara Suzune was just taking a small revenge on Chiba Yoru Yuu, who refused her invitation!

That’s right, Chiba Yoru Yuu also had some research in this area, but he didn’t delve deep into it, so he refused Ichihara Suzune’s invitation.

“Of course, if the published results can be realized and proven to have practical application value, they may also be used by universities or enterprises. Naturally, the presenters will definitely receive a certain remuneration.”

“The competition starts on the last Sunday of October every year.”

“The venue alternates between Kyoto and Yokohama.”

“This year’s venue is the Yokohama International Conference Center.”

Ichihara Suzune briefly introduced it, not mentioning the latter part, as they weren’t participating in the Thesis Competition anyway.

“One of the three major problems of gravity magic?”

“A good topic.”

Chiba Yoru Yuu nodded.

“I didn’t expect Tatsuya to also have research in this area!”

Nakajou Azusa, who had been silent, said in surprise.

“Mm, I found out by chance.”

Ichihara Suzune said, glancing at Chiba Yoru Yuu.

Chiba Yoru Yuu didn’t mind; he was quite willing to help with technical research, but as for theses, forget it. Hands-on work was more meaningful.

After all, practice makes perfect!

………………..

Late at night, Chiba Yoru Yuu was alone doing his research. In the dimly lit room, a flash of light suddenly appeared.

“Hoo~”

“Did it fail again?”

“How many times has this been?”

Chiba Yoru Yuu took out his terminal and looked at the experiment log.

“ 4, 674, 545 times?”

“This problem has been solved.”

Looking at the data, Chiba Yoru Yuu crossed out a line of problems.

“Damn it!”

“Why are there ten more?!”

“Are they multiplying here?”

“Solve one and a whole litter pops out, huh?”

Chiba Yoru Yuu scratched his hair, somewhat exasperated.

He sighed and recorded the problem again.

“Ding-a-ling~”

“Senior Tifana, is there something you need me for?”

Chiba Yoru Yuu looked at Tifana on the screen with some confusion.

“I do have something I need your help with.”

“Take a look at this.”

Tifana sent over a document detailing an experiment in D 4 experimental zone.

On the screen, a magician stood within a magic interference field, calmly performing various magic experiments.

“Are you doing anti-anti-magic experiments?”

Although the content was simple, Chiba Yoru Yuu immediately understood what they were doing.

“That’s right.”

“We’ve used anti-magic stones to interfere with spellcasting and conducted many experiments. Just yesterday, this project was completed for the first time, but it’s still in repeated testing.”

“And just now, this technology was declared mature. I want you to try if this magic formula can withstand your magic.”

Tifana explained.

“Don’t even think about it, it’s impossible.”

“My magic ‘Quantum Vacuum’ and anti-magic stones are not the same thing at all. That magic formula simply cannot produce any effect in front of me.”

Chiba Yoru Yuu shook his head and decisively gave his answer.

In fact, Chiba Yoru Yuu already knew the result without even experimenting.

“Are you saying that other magicians can be easily controlled by you in front of you?”

Tifana was a bit unsettled.

“How is that possible?”

“There are great restrictions, alright!”
