Nakajo Azusa frantically looked left and right, trying to avoid Shiba Tatsuya's sharp gaze, but to no avail. In the end, she had no choice but to resign herself to her fate and lower her head.

"Um... the school's disciplinary committee is an organization responsible for dealing with students who violate school rules."

"The main task of the disciplinary committee is to stop students from using magic illegally on campus and to arrest them. Then, they provide evidence against the students to the head of the disciplinary committee and the student council president for joint review."

"In other words, they are equivalent to police officers or supervisors on campus."

Nakajo Azusa finished speaking in one breath, then buried her face in the table, as if she had used up all her strength to say what she had just said.

"Brother, isn't this amazing?" Shiba Miyuki turned around and looked at Shiba Tatsuya in surprise.

"No, Miyuki, there's still one thing I haven't figured out yet. Don't give me that look that I've already agreed."

Whenever Miyuki makes that expression, Shiba Tatsu, a severe sister complex sufferer, finds it hard to refuse her requests.

Shiba Tatsuya then turned his gaze back to Watanabe Mari and spoke.

"Based on what Senior Nakajo just said, I can understand that if someone gets into a fight, then I should stop them!"

This time, Watanabe Mari did not avoid Shiba Tatsuya's question.

“That’s right. If it’s before magic is used, you can decide for yourself whether to stop it. But if magic is used, then you must use your power to stop it.”

"Watanabe-senpai, I told you, didn't I? I only became a second-year student because I wasn't good enough. Now you're making me do this kind of work? You're not kidding, are you?!"

Shiba Tatsuya's voice unconsciously rose a few decibels.

However, Watanabe Mari completely ignored Shiba Tatsuya's words and instead curled the corners of her mouth into a smile.

"It's alright. When we need to use our strength to enforce the ban, I and the student council members will be there for you."

Do you have any questions now?

"But—" Shiba Tatsuya still wanted to say something about how he wasn't suitable.

"Tatsuya-kun, why do you always belittle yourself?"

"What do you mean?" Shiba Tatsuya stared at Kushima Mitsunori, who had just spoken.

"Others may think that your ability to see through other people's magic is powerful, but they won't pay too much attention to it because they don't have a real sense of it."

"But do you think that someone with the same ability wouldn't know how powerful this skill is?"

Shiba Tatsuya's gaze grew sharper and sharper, staring at Kushima Mitsunori with the intensity of a hawk.

But Kushima Mitsunori didn't seem to care at all, and after a pause, he continued.

"A person with this ability can defeat their opponent even if they have very little knowledge of strategy."

"So, Tatsuya-kun, I really don't want to agree with the idea that you always belittle your own abilities."

After a long silence, Shiba Tatsu also withdrew his gaze.

"But as it turns out, I'm now just a second-rate student."

"And if a student from a second-tier discipline were to become a member of the disciplinary committee, it would cause quite a stir!"

Seeing that the theory that strength is useless was not working, Shiba Tatsuya prepared to try to persuade everyone to give up on the matter from another angle.

"In fact, that's exactly what I'm referring to."

Watanabe Mari spoke frankly.

"The secondary reason for your joining the Disciplinary Committee is your ability, and the primary reason is your position. The two complement each other, which is why I made this decision."

"I want to change the situation where students in the first subject look down on students in the second subject, and students in the second subject are hostile to students in the first subject. What I need is for a capable student in the second subject to make some achievements to shut them up."

"So your appearance is just right for me."

Watanabe Mari stared intently at Shiba Tatsuya, her burning gaze leaving him nowhere to hide.

His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't get the words out.

Shiba Miyuki, listening from the side, became increasingly happy, and her gaze towards Watanabe Mari softened.

Originally, Watanabe Mari's impression on her was only so-so, but after noon today, Watanabe Mari's status in her heart had been greatly elevated.

After all, Watanabe Mari was indeed raising the status of the second-year students and giving his brother a bigger platform.

Shiba Tatsuya was powerless to resist his sister's expectant gaze, nor could he resist the temptation of legally possessing a CAD on campus.

"But there's the problem with my abilities—"

This was Tatsuya Shiba's last stand, though it seemed somewhat futile.

This time, Kushima Mitsunori set his sights on Shiba Miyuki.

"Shiba-kun, how is Tatsuya-kun's practical combat ability?"

"My brother is very strong. The fact that he is currently a second-class student only means that the school's rules are limiting him. In actual combat, my brother would not be weaker than anyone else."

Shiba Miyuki said firmly, her tone full of trust in Shiba Tatsuya.

"Miyuki, you're exaggerating too much."

"Tatsuya-kun, your sister has already said that. Are you still going to say it?" Kushima Mitsunori asked.

Shiba Tatsuya hesitated.

A slight smile appeared on Kushima Mitsunori's lips.

"Then, Tatsuya-kun, how about we have a semi-public simulation battle?"

"How about we make the spectators members members of the student council and the discipline committee?"

"Of course, Mayumi-senpai, please also inform Jumonji-senpai."

He had only just thought of this, using the fact that Shiba Tatsumi couldn't refuse his sister's request to conduct a simulated battle with him to observe his strength.

"Wait, why did the topic suddenly jump to this?"

Shiba Tatsuya was clearly having trouble accepting it; he refused to serve as a disciplinary committee member precisely because he didn't want to attract attention or cause trouble.

It would be much more eye-catching to fight the next head of the Kushima family of the Ten Masters Clan in full view of everyone!

"Of course, the simulation battle won't be too restrictive, such as not being able to use offensive magic above level C. How about a two-minute time limit?"

Kushima Mitsunori added that he couldn't push Shiba Tatsuya too hard, as Shiba Tatsuya would definitely refuse a full-on battle.

Before Shiba Tatsuya could say anything, Shiba Miyuki's eyes clearly lit up.

Shiba Miyuki was initially hesitant when she heard about the mock battle, as it went against her brother's wish to keep her identity hidden.

But after Kushima Mitsunori finished speaking, Shiba Miyuki felt she had nothing to worry about.

The entire school's leadership will be watching the battle, which is not very large in scale.

The older brother was facing Kushima Mitsunori, the next head of the Kushima family.

If you can maintain a winning streak for just two minutes, you can earn everyone's respect without revealing too much information.

Shiba Tatsuya took a deep breath, under his sister's expectant gaze.

"Okay, I agree."

Chapter Fourteen: Unleashing a New Wave

When Kushima Mitsunori pushed open the door, he could feel that the atmosphere in the student council was a bit dull. Hattori Hanzo stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking outside, seemingly lost in thought.

"Senior, what's wrong?" Kushima Mitsunori sat down next to Nanagusa Mayumi and asked quietly.

"Vice President Hattori is angry because Junior Shiba joined the Disciplinary Committee!"

The one who answered him was not Mayumi Nanami, but Watanabe Mari, who was sitting opposite him.

"Hanzo-kun is just a bit stubborn," Mayumi Nanagusa said, still trying to lighten the mood.

Hattori Hanzo turned around, his voice low and somber. "Mitsunori, why did you agree to let Shiba Tatsuya join the student council?"

Kushima Mitsunori immediately understood that Hattori Hanzo was actually a staunch believer in the supremacy of single-subjects.

He couldn't help but glance at Mayumi Nanagusa sitting next to him. He noticed that everyone in the student council seemed to hate the dual-subject system, and he assumed that everyone felt the same way.

But he never expected that Hattori Hanzo, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would be an obstacle.

"I just think Tatsuya-kun has the ability, Hattori-senpai."

Kushima Mitsunori also bluntly stated that even if he had some goodwill towards Hattori Hanzo before, it didn't mean he would readily accept Hattori Hanzo's questioning.

"Strength? He's just a second-tier student. If he were truly capable, he wouldn't have been assigned to the second-tier program."

Hattori Hanzo spoke with great emotion, completely unlike his gentle and refined manner when he first met Kushima Mitsunori.

“I don’t think my judgment is wrong!” Mitsunobu Kushima retorted.

"Besides, didn't I say that I would have a mock battle with Tatsuya-kun later?"

"Should I convince the senior students that I will lose?"

Kushima Mitsunori said in a commanding tone.

Although he believed that Shiba Tatsuya had some strength, no matter how strong Shiba Tatsuya was, he didn't think he would lose.

However, as the next head of the Kushima family, he cannot accept anyone questioning his abilities.

"I did not mean that."

"I was just saying that he wasn't qualified to compete against the students from the first department, so why bother? If you want to add new members to the student council, there are plenty of outstanding talents among the students from the first department."

"There is absolutely no need to specifically select a student with two majors."

Hattori Hanzo explained that although his family was quite powerful, it was still incomparable to the Kushima family of the Ten Masters.

He didn't want his words to be misinterpreted by Mitsunobu Kushima, causing unnecessary trouble for his family.

Kushima Mitsunori then sighed, "If I may add something, is Hattori-senpai a believer in the supremacy of academic achievement or meritocracy?"
