The Irregular at Magical Worlds

"If our school were like a regular school, without being explicitly labeled in this way, then the freshmen would likely get along well with each other and form excellent friendships."

"This way, even if we end up in different classes because of our academic performance, there won't be any conflict."

"But because of the labels, when freshmen received the uniforms for first-year students, they immediately categorized themselves as first-year students, and when they received the uniforms for second-year students, they immediately categorized themselves as second-year students."

"After all, the environment influences people. If the seniors of the first-year students teach the new students that the second-year students are useless, and the seniors of the second-year students teach the new students of the second-year students, it means that the first-year students are taking away the treatment they should have received, which is unfair."

"And so the two camps continued to oppose each other without end."

Kushima Mitsunori rattled off a long string of words, and suddenly felt a burning sensation in his throat.

Seeing Kushima Mitsunori's expression, Nanagusa Mayumi thoughtfully took a thermos from her handbag and handed it to him.

"Junior Guangxuan, you must be thirsty. Have some of this first!"

Kushima Mitsunori hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and took the thermos from Nanagusa Mayumi's hand, and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

"Thank you so much, Senior Qicao."

After finishing his drink, Kushima Mitsunori returned the thermos to Nanakusa Mayumi.

"It's nothing." Mayumi Nanagusa shook her head, took the thermos, and put it back into her handbag.

"I'd rather hear how Guangxuan would handle this."

Mayumi Nanagusa looked at Mitsunori Kushima with hopeful eyes. Having heard Mitsunori Kushima's analysis, Mayumi Nanagusa was now eager to know.

She regretted that she had been deeply dissatisfied with the dual-subject system since she enrolled. However, the dual-subject system had long been ingrained in people's minds.

So even now, she doesn't know how to solve this problem. Now she wants to hear how to solve it from Kushima Mitsunori's perspective.

"Me!"

Kushima Mitsunori showed no surprise at the request made by Nanagusa Mayumi.

He paused, then continued.

"I've said before that I'm not against the meritocracy system in education, right, senior?"

"Ok!"

"The entrance exam at our school directly determines a student's status for the three years they are enrolled, right?"

"We just need to make a small change to one of the rules so that the school can be like a normal school, senior."

"Could it be that..."

Mayumi Nanagusa was born into the Nanagusa family, and her father was known for his scheming, so it's impossible for her to be unintelligent.

She naturally thought of what Kushima Mitsunori had said about what had changed.

"Yes."

Kushima Mitsunori smiled and nodded.

"Isn't there a final exam at the end of each semester? Students who do well in two subjects will advance to the first subject, and students who do poorly in the first subject will become students in the second subject."

"This way, first-class students will fear that second-class students will catch up, and they will be afraid of becoming the second-class students they used to despise and look down upon, so they will study magic diligently."

"Students in the second subject will work just as hard to become students in the first subject in order to get rid of their label of being useless and to fight for better treatment."

"What do you think, senior?"

Kushima Mitsunori spread his hands and smiled at Nanagusa Mayumi.

Mayumi Nanagusa's expression slowly changed from contemplation to joy, then calmed down after a while, and she shook her head and said.

"Junior Brother Guangxuan, magic schools are different from ordinary schools."

"Students in ordinary schools can achieve results by putting in more effort than others, but it's different for magicians. In the world of magicians, talent is the deciding factor."

That's right, in the world of magic, talent is the deciding factor.

However, magical talent is a very fragile thing, and students can easily drop out of school because they can no longer use magic after experiencing an accident.

That's why the "double major student" system came about; the double major student system was designed to fill vacancies caused by unforeseen circumstances.

This is how the second-stage student came to be a backup for the first-stage student.

"Therefore, it is simply impossible for a student with two majors to become a student with one major. The fact that only one student can become one every two or three years is not convincing at all."

Kushima Mitsunori held up a finger and shook it. "Nanakusa-senpai, you can't possibly be completely incapable of using even the smallest tricks, can you?"

"What do you mean?"

He had no idea whether this senior was pretending to be stupid or not. He didn't think that Mayumi Nanagusa was someone who wouldn't know what to do about something like this.

Kushima Mitsunori sighed and glanced around; there was no one there.

After all, this isn't something that can be easily overheard, so it's best to be a little careful.

Chapter Three: Exquisite Dolls

However, just in case, Kushima Mitsunori had a faint blue light flickering from the earring on his right earlobe, and a soundproof barrier made of koji enveloped the two of them.

"The speed at which the magic is cast is incredibly fast."

Mayumi Nanakusa's beautiful eyes sparkled; she truly lived up to her reputation as the leading figure of the younger generation of the Kushima family.

Kushima Mitsunori looked at Nanakusa Mayumi and spoke.

"Then let me tell you my method. Senior, your family must have a few branches that haven't been publicly announced, right?"

Mayumi Nanakusa nodded without saying a word.

This situation actually exists in every magical family; these families are essentially the private armies of the main family.

"I suggest that the children from those families should be more discreet during their entrance exams, so that they can smoothly advance to the next subject when they take the major exams in their second and third years. This method shouldn't be too difficult for you, senior!"

Mayumi Nanakusa fell into deep thought. In fact, the solution that Mitsunori Kushima gave was also her idea.

How could the eldest daughter of the Nanakusa family not understand such simple political maneuvering!

In fact, when Mitsunobu Kushima gave her the solution, this was the first solution that came to her mind.

She just wanted to hear if Kushima Mitsunori's problem-solving approach was the same as hers.

"Ok?"

Kushima Mitsunori noticed a girl even shorter than Nanagusa Mayumi rushing towards the two of them.

Kushima Mitsunori quickly removed the soundproof barrier surrounding the two of them.

"Senior Nanagusa, it seems your friend is here."

Kushima Mitsunori quickly reminded Nanagusa Mayumi, who was still deep in thought.

Interrupted from her thoughts, Nanagusa Mayumi quickly looked up, waved to the petite girl approaching her, and smiled knowingly.

"President, what are you still doing here?"

The girl's voice was soft and sweet, like that of a wounded little animal, and just standing there made you want to bully her.

"Junior Guangxuan, let me introduce you. This is our student council secretary, Zhongtiao Zi."

"Commonly known as, Zijiang".

Mayumi Nanagusa walked up to Azusa Nakajo, patted her head, and said with a mischievous grin.

Before Kushima could even say anything, Nakajo Azusa's cheeks immediately puffed up at a visible speed, just like a pufferfish that had exploded with anger.

The two little hands were also constantly moving up and down.

"President, please don't call me Xiaozhi in front of the younger students. I also have the position of a senior."

Although the senior student tried her best to maintain the demeanor of a senior in front of Mitsuhiro Kushima, in Mitsuhiro Kushima's eyes she looked more like a small animal.

It's probably a rabbit!

Although Kushima Mitsunori had this thought in mind, he was absolutely meticulous in his etiquette.

"Hello, Senior Nakajo."

"My name is Mitsunobu Kushima. I look forward to working with you from now on."

Nakajo Azusa seemed to be receiving such respect from her junior for the first time, her small face showing a satisfied expression.

"Oh right, President, the rehearsal is about to start. Let's hurry!"

"Oh, right."

"I'm sorry, Mitsunobu. The auditorium is just ahead, you can go there by yourself!" Mayumi Nanagusa smiled apologetically at Mitsunobu Kushima.

She finally remembered that she still had important things to do, pointed out the location of the auditorium to Kushima Mitsunori, and then quickly left with Nakajo Azusa.

When Nakajo Azusa left, she had a high regard for Kushima Mitsunori, her junior who respected her greatly, and she even said goodbye to him before leaving.

"Never mind, let's just walk over there slowly!"

Kushima Mitsunori glanced at his watch; there was still plenty of time before the opening ceremony.

When I entered the auditorium, I found that many students were already seated in the spacious hall.

There were plenty of empty seats in front of them, but not a single student from the second department was sitting there. Kushima Mitsunori didn't seem to be trying to be different.

Although he wasn't afraid of others causing trouble, dealing with problems on the first day of school wasn't something he wanted.

He randomly found an empty seat among the students, sat down, and closed his eyes to rest.

"Next is the freshman address, delivered by freshman representative Miyuki Shiba."

Kushima Mitsunori had originally planned to close his eyes and rest until the end of the opening ceremony; he hadn't come directly from the house he bought that morning.

Instead, he got up very early and rushed over from the main residence of the Kushima family, so he was a little sleep-deprived.

Moreover, the opening ceremony doesn't have any special significance; it's just a group of people taking turns going up and saying some meaningless things.

However, as the freshman representative took the stage, the increasing murmur of the surrounding students made Kushima Mitsunori open his eyes.

Of course, he wasn't really interested in this so-called freshman representative, since if he participated in the final practical test, then this freshman representative couldn't be anyone else.

It can only be him, Mitsunobu Kushima.

But the moment he opened his eyes, he knew he was wrong; he had developed a strong interest in the girl standing on the stage.
