Nine Schools Competition Part II
1 7-17-2095 / FLT R&D Center Young Master! Welcome, Young Master! Young Master! Sorry to intrude.
Where can I find Chief Ushiyama? You wanted to see me Mister? Forgive me, Chief.
For requesting an audience when you're so busy.
Whoa this won't do, you know.
All of us here are your subordinates.
If the great Mr.
Silver himself acts too humbly around us, it'll set a bad example.
It's an honor for us all to be able to work under you.
There'd be no Taurus Silver if it wasn't for you, Mr.
Taurus the head of this facility.
Without your technical prowess, Mr.
Ushiyama, the Loop Cast System would never have become a reality.
Hey, enough of this.
Never mind that.
Why don't we talk business now? Okay, Mr.
Ushiyama.
As for today's prototype this is it.
Would this be a flying device, by any chance? Yes.
I took the hardware mock-up that you built, and programmed a Sustained Gravity Control Type Magic Spell activation sequence into it.
Tetsu, how many T-7 models do we have on hand? That would be ten, sir! You idiot! Why the hell didn't you replenish the stash? Bring over all we have! Yes, sir! We're talking about a Flying Spell! The history of modern magic is about to change! All systems go.
Start the experiment.
Yes, sir.
Lift-off confirmed.
No spike in ground contact pressure due to the reaction force.
Margin of error for upward acceleration rate is within acceptable parameters.
CAD operation is stable.
Upward acceleration rate decreasing Zero.
Now ascending at a constant speed.
Upward acceleration rate now negative.
Upward acceleration rate, zero.
He's come to a stop.
Horizontal acceleration detected! Keep going.
He moved He's flying Acceleration stopped.
He's moving horizontally at 1 meter/second.
Tester One to Observation Deck.
At this time, I'm walking through the air No I'm flying across the sky.
I'm free! We did it! It's a success! Congratulations, Young Master.
Thank you very much.
You guys, are you all morons, or what? Starting a game of tag in mid-air? Really? No way can you use Sustained Gravity Type Magic for that long.
Just as I thought, the successive processing of the activation sequence would be too stressful if we left it like this.
Well, sure.
Compared to you and our princess here, the average magician has a scant amount of Psions at his disposal.
We'll have to make the CAD's automatic Psion absorption scheme more efficient That, I'll figure out on my end.
If we can get the hardware to do more of the processing, it should take some of the load off.
Actually, I was planning to consult you on that very thing.
Well, now What an honor! Well, well, Ms.
Miyuki It's certainly been a while.
It's been a long time, Mr.
Aoki.
And Father You look well.
Yes.
Mr.
Aoki I'm not the only one here, you know.
If I may, Young Miss, being that I am the Yotsuba family's butler, I can't be expected to bow my head to a mere bodyguard.
After all, there is such a thing as order.
He is my brother! Forgive me for saying so, but everyone in the Yotsuba household wishes you to succeed as the next head.
You are on quite a different level than that mere escort standing there.
Well, now, Mr.
Aoki Perhaps it's rude of me to interrupt, but those are quite serious claims you're making.
What you just said don't you think you're being far too inappropriate towards the other candidates? Or has my aunt already named her successor? Ms.
Maya has yet to voice her intentions.
I am astonished.
You, the fourth-highest ranked member of the Yotsuba household Am I to take it that you've just planted speculation into the head of a candidate for succession? Now who would you say was being disruptive, I wonder? It's not speculation.
We are all on the same page, so we can relate to one another.
Though surely a heartless, bogus magician like yourself can't hope to grasp that.
This heartless, bogus magician you speak of was created by my mother, Miya Shiba, the elder sister of Maya Yotsuba, the current head of the Yotsuba family.
The former Miya Yotsuba, that is.
By calling me bogus, you're also insulting the current head of the Yotsuba family, as well as her sister.
Tatsuya, that's enough.
You shouldn't speak ill of your mother.
Not that your hatred of your mother isn't totally unwarranted Tatsuya Dad, you've got it all wrong.
I don't hate Mom at all.
I-Is that right? I don't have a heart that's capable of hatred.
All that I have left is Good morning! We heard the news, Shiba! That's awesome! Good luck, Shiba! They made you an engineer? Show them what you've got! Word really travels fast, huh? You're right about that.
After all, they only just made the decision.
Now that you mention it, aren't they making the official announcement during today's Launch Ceremony? That would be fifth period, right? You'll be taking part, too, won't you, Tatsuya? Yeah You're the only Course 2 student, right? Those Course 1 guys I hear they're totally pissed off about this! Yeah, but the athletes are all Course 1 students Well, it can't be helped.
Jealousy isn't based on reason, after all.
Oh, you'll be fine.
Unlike recruitment week, they won't be hurling magic at you.
Nine Schools Competition Launch Ceremony Next, Class 1-A, Ms.
Honoka Mitsui.
Pretty nerve-wracking, huh? Yes, it is.
Class 1-E, Tatsuya Shiba.
Nine Schools Competition Launch Ceremony And now, please give First High's finest a nice round of applause.
I'm Shiba of the technical staff.
Aside from fine-tuning CADs, I'll be involved in creating training regimens and providing strategic support.
I'd rather have a girl for my engineer! Makes no difference to me.
As long as he does his job right, that is.
Look here, Eimi! You're being rude, too, Subaru! Tatsuya's skills are professional-grade, you know! Oh? You're on a first-name basis, then? What is he, your boyfriend? O-Of course it's not like that Right, Shizuku? Yes.
I call him by his first name, too.
Shizuku calls him by his first name, too? Who are those two to your brother, anyway? Honoka and Shizuku are friends of my brother's.
Friends? That's right, friends.
Something's fishy They're his friends.
I'd like to get this meeting started, everybody Nine Schools Competition Part II 8 days till the Nine Schools Competition! Let's set our sights on victory and do our best!! Medicine Experiment Room Corridor This scent Medicine Experiment Room Spirits? Yoshida? Who's there? Tatsuya! Get a hold of yourself, Mikihiko.
I'm not getting into it with you here and now.
My bad, Tatsuya.
That was never my intention.
Not a problem.
In the first place, Mizuki's the one to blame for disturbing a spell-caster's composure.
I'm to blame? No, it's not her fault.
It was because of my inexperience.
Thanks, Tatsuya.
Thanks to you I avoided injuring Ms.
Shibata.
Even if I hadn't stepped in, you wouldn't have hurt her.
Anyway, that was one of the Ancient Magic spells, Spirit Magic, wasn't it? I guess it's too late to try and hide it now.
Just like you said, Tatsuya, I was using Water Spirits to practice my Summoning Magic.
Water Spirits, huh? What did they look like to you, Mizuki? Let's see There was blue, pale blue, and indigo blue All I could see was orbs of light in shades of blue.
You could see the different shades of color? Um Uh Um If this is consensual, then I'm out of here.
But if not, we have a problem.
Sorry.
No I'm sorry.
I don't see any reason for you to apologize, Mizuki.
Really I'm sorry.
When I thought that you might actually possess the Crystal Eyes, I just couldn't help myself Let's forget about this, Yoshida.
You just startled me, that's all.
But it did embarrass me, so please don't ever do that again, okay? I'm really sorry.
Mikihiko, these Crystal Eyes what are they? If you don't mind, could you explain them to me? Sure.
It's not that big of a secret anyway.
Those of us who manipulate Spirits identify each Spirit by color.
But it's not as if we can really see them in a true sense.
In other words, you're not seeing them visually, but interpreting their vibrations through magic? Great answer.
So it varies by school, how the colors are perceived.
For example, my school sees water as blue.
Fire is red.
So each color is applied uniformly in our minds.
But Mizuki was able to see that.
I'm guessing that you're perceiving the differences in each Water Spirit's power and nature as different shades of color.
Such eyes as yours are known as "eyes that can see God," the "Crystal Eyes," in my school.
Meaning that Mizuki is the kind of person you'd sell your souls to get your hands on, right? Right.
A year ago, I would've been mesmerized, and I might have claimed her for myself by force.
Hold up! Right now I don't have those kinds of desires or tendencies, okay? Still, that doesn't mean that I'm inclined to tell the other spell-casters that the "key" to a "divine" kind of magic exists.
Good idea.
I'm going to keep this to myself, as well.
What are you talking about? 8-1-2095 I'm so sorry! You're late, Mayumi! You're an hour and a half late.
2095 Nine Schools Competition Roster Name of Athlete / Strategy / Skills Mayumi Saegusa Katsuto Jumonji Mari Watanabe Koutaro Tatsumi Keiko Kobayakawa Sorry, sorry.
I'm so sorry, Tatsuya.
For keeping you waiting so long on my account.
It's fine, as I was informed of the situation.
I hear that you had a family emergency? By the way, Tatsuya What do you think of this? That truly becomes you.
Really? Thank you! Although if you'd been more bashful complimenting me, that would've been perfect.
I can see that you're stressed.
Serving as a member of the Ten Master Clans the Saegusa family, no less You must have a lot on your mind.
Now, then, let's get going.
You'll be able to get some rest on the bus.
Wait! Um Tatsuya? You're misreading the situation, aren't you? Really! That Tatsuya Just what kind of person does he think I am? And I was going to ask him to sit next to me, too! It was the right decision.
I stated that it was the right decision to avoid falling prey to you, Chairwoman.
Hey that's harsh! Of course, Shiba is known to have the ability to nullify his opponent's magic.
It's possible that your Bewitching Face might not have any effect on him.
Oh say what you want! Chairwoman? So you're not feeling well, then? Hanzo Um actually, it's not as if I Not wanting the rest of us to worry That thoughtfulness of yours is to be respected, I know, but I wouldn't want you to push yourself to the breaking point Vice Chairman Hattori! What are you looking at? N-Nothing in particular! I just thought the chairwoman might need a blanket Then be my guest.
What do those guys think they're doing? Kanon? Yes? It shouldn't take us more than two hours, tops, to reach our lodgings.
Why can't you even wait that long? Oh, but that's pretty harsh of you! Of course I can wait that long! Even still I was looking forward to going on a bus trip with Kei today! Yeah, yeah.
And besides, isn't it perfectly natural to want to be with your fiancé? First of all, why should the technical staff have to take another bus? This bus is nowhere near full There was no reason to split us up! Kanon, knock it off.
But but Um Miyuki, would you like some tea? Thank you, Honoka.
But I'm sorry.
I'm really not that thirsty yet.
After all, I wasn't forced to stand outside in this heat like my brother was.
Right.
Why'd you have to go and remind her about her brother? That one was beyond my control! I'm sure there was no need to make him wait outside.
Why did Brother have to suffer so? Hey, but Miyuki, I think that's what makes your brother such a great guy.
No one would complain if they had to wait inside the bus, but seeing a job to the end without slacking off in the least, even if it's something tedious like taking attendance Not many people can do that.
Right.
I think your brother's a totally awesome guy, Miyuki.
You're right.
Really, my brother can be kind to a fault in the strangest ways.
All right! Look out! Vanish! Stop! Idiots! Stop it! Nine Schools Competition Part III NEXT TIME
