The Irregular at Magical Worlds

Kushima Mitsunori, with his eyelids drooping, loudly complained that in his opinion, even going shirtless was much better than that half-exposed chest-skin shirt.

"Alright, let's get in!"

"The competition is about to begin."

Standing to the side, Watanabe Mari frowned and urged him with some disappointment.

She followed Mayumi Nanakusa because she wanted to be the first to see what kind of funny clothes Mitsunori Kushima would wear.

In her opinion, this was just a normal outfit. Yingmei and I had worn the same style just two days ago. It's a wonder she stood outside the lounge for so long.

"That's right, I went to the players' area!"

Kushima Mitsunori quickly turned and left, fearing that Nanagusa Mayumi might drag him back regardless of the match time and force him to change into that extremely embarrassing outfit.

The player's elevator platform for {Ice Pillar Attack and Defense} slowly rose, and Mitsuaki Kushima also pulled out the adjusted CAD from the holster on his waist.

Perhaps it was because the {Secret Monument Decoding} event the day before yesterday was too exciting! Today's {Ice Pillar Attack and Defense} event seemed even more lively than usual.

Even when the platform rises and the audience seating is no longer visible, Mitsunobu Kushima can still hear the cheers coming from the audience.

As the elevator rose to its highest point, the figure of Akira Ichijo appeared in Mitsunobu Kushima's field of vision.

The ever-present red uniforms of the three high schools made Mitsunobu Kushima, who felt ashamed, somewhat envious, but those thoughts vanished when he saw that swollen chin.

Didn't he use magic to heal? Although magic can't help his two broken front teeth grow back, it can at least reduce the swelling!

Although he was the one who caused this situation, he really couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ichijou Hikaru's appearance.

Compared to Kushima Mitsunori's relaxed and carefree demeanor, Ichijo Masaki's eyes were already filled with the flames of fighting spirit.

It wouldn't be accurate to say that he hated Kushima Mitsunori, since both sides fought under equal conditions and it was his own skill that made him feel inferior.

The {Secret Tablet Decoding}, which can limit the destructive power of magic, ultimately has certain limitations for a magician like him, so he is still somewhat unwilling.

He didn't repair his swollen chin in order to learn from his shame and strive to regain his glory in {Ice Pillar Offense and Defense}.

"I feel so sorry for Ichijo-kun. He just went through such a brutal ordeal the day before yesterday, and now he has to go through it all again today."

"Really? I only see schadenfreude on the chairman's face, not a trace of sympathy!"

Ichihara Suzune was speechless as she watched Nanagusa Mayumi cover her mouth and chuckle.

She knew before that although President Nanagusa was a very nice person, her personality was somewhat wicked. However, she felt recently that the wickedness of her personality seemed to be getting worse and worse.

The lights will come on as the game begins.

"Jiang Hui, let's have a good match!"

Just as Ichijo Shōki, standing opposite, was about to open his mouth to respond, he remembered his current situation and could only cover his mouth with his hand, nodding to Kyushima Mitsunori.

The blue lights started flashing, and the competition officially began.

Before Ichijo Hikaru could pull the trigger to fire the magic, a dazzling blue light began to emanate from beneath the twelve ice pillars on Ichijo Hikaru's side.

The electric currents surging on the ground danced beneath a radiant icicle.

The magic that Kushima Mitsunori released was his most skilled release magic, [Lightning]. This magic forcibly extracts electrons from matter, causing a discharge phenomenon. Normally, this magic is not so easy to spread to such a large area.

However, because Kushima Mitsunobu's intention was to have a very strong interference capability, he was able to cover such a large area as twelve ice pillars at the same time.

There was no sign of panic in Ichijo Shōki's eyes as he pulled the trigger of the blood-red pistol-shaped CAD, although Kushima Mitsunori's ability to interfere with the city images surprised him somewhat.

However, the [Lightning] spell is ultimately a spell that focuses on casting speed rather than damage. Although it is very useful in human combat, allowing you to cast spells faster and paralyze enemies, it is not as effective against ice pillars.

After roughly reinforcing his ice pillar, Ichijo Hikaru finally unleashed the magic he had been preparing for nearly thirty seconds.

Manipulate the water molecules inside the ice column to rapidly heat them.

The primary research objective of the first research project was to manipulate the human body.

For example, the Isshiki family excels at manipulating their own bodies to enhance themselves, while the Ichihara family (Ichika Hara) of the Shikumo family excels at manipulating the minds of their enemies.

The Ichijo family, as the current members of the Ten Masters Clan, specializes in dispersion magic that instantly vaporizes the liquid inside an enemy's body.

Their trump card magic is [Explosion].

However, [Explosion] is a spell that can only be used on a single target and cannot lock onto all the ice pillars at the same time.

The magic he used this time was a multi-target attack magic called "Screaming Hell," which was somewhat weaker than "Explosion" in terms of power.

Chapter Sixty-Four: The Addictive Effect of Whipping a Corpse

Although it takes a while to activate, this magic can quickly heat up the moisture inside both living and non-living things.

This magic can be considered as Hikaru's trump card in his attempt to defeat Kushima Mitsunori in the {Ice Pillar Offense and Defense} game.

Ichijo Masahiro's thoughts are quietly changing the internal affairs structure of Kushima Mitsunori.

After all, the Ichijo family is very good at this, often vaporizing the enemy's body and detonating it before the enemy can even react.

However, none of these things could be hidden from Mitsunobu Kushima's eyes.

"There is absolutely no need for defense."

Even if he didn't defend at all, it would be impossible for Jōki to heat such a thick icicle from the inside to completely melt it in less than half a minute.

Kushima Mitsunori's next spell was ready, and an orange-red beam of light shot from the muzzle of his gun into the blue electric field.

The scene has changed.

The ice pillars that had stood firm against Kushima Mitsunobu's [Lightning] attack were now melting at a visible rate.

A surge of heat rolled through the radiant battlefield, and large amounts of water droplets slid off the icicles, forming puddles on the ground in just three seconds.

The air was burning intensely, and even standing on the elevator platform, Jiang Hui could feel the scorching heat below.

"It's actually the [Blazing Divine Realm]!"

Ichijou Shigeaki gritted his teeth. He knew that Kushima Mitsunobu's release of [Lightning] earlier couldn't have been just for the simple reason of fast activation.

I never expected that he was actually setting up [Blazing Divine Realm].

Normally, the [Blazing Domain] cannot achieve such intense high temperatures. However, in a field where a large number of electrons are already active, Mitsuaki Kushima can create a high-temperature electromagnetic field by simply separating cations once the [Blazing Domain] is triggered.

"We can't defend anymore!"

Despite casting the second [Intelligence Enhancement] spell, Ichijou Masahiro was still not very good at defensive magic.

No matter how much he increased the release of the seeds, he couldn't stop the icicles from melting.

Change tactics.

Ichijou Shōki decided to abandon defense, and even stopped the [Screaming Hell] that he had been barely maintaining.

He knew that his [Screaming Hell] could not melt the ice pillars as quickly as Kushima Mitsunori's [Blazing Divine Realm].

Pouring all your thoughts into it, pull the trigger.

The ice pillar that had stood unbroken since the preliminaries of Kushima Mitsunori shattered for the first time.

Now it's a race against time; both sides have completely abandoned their ice pillar defenses and are focusing on attacking.

"What a pity, Jiang Hui! The change in tactics came a little too late."

Kushima Mitsunori also increased his output of ideas.

The temperature generated by the electromagnetic energy field is getting higher and higher. The scorching temperature is not only raging in the players' field, but also in the spectators sitting in the nearby seats. They feel their throats are dry and their skin is burning.

The area directly above the electromagnetic field was unbearably hot, with large drops of sweat sliding down his forehead.

However, he had no time to pay attention to those things now, and was simply mechanically pulling the trigger, continuously detonating the ice pillars of Kushima Mitsunobu.

The sounds of melting water droplets and cracking icicles mingled in the arena.

"I've been thinking about this for the past couple of days: are all first-graders these days monsters?!"

Feeling a bit thirsty, Watanabe Mari took a sip of water and said with a wry smile to Ichihara Suzune, who was watching the game with her.

"Indeed, the [Blazing Domain] used by Junior Brother Kushima today and the [Ice Mist Domain] used by Junior Sister Shiba yesterday are both high-level spells that even A-rank mages would find difficult to use."

"It's unbelievable that a high school student could produce this level of work."

Ichihara Suzune returned the same expression to Watanabe Mari, but what actually dampened her confidence was Kushima Mitsunori and Shiba Tatsuya's ability to adjust CAD.

After all, she was a technical engineer, and she didn't care much about combat.

Furthermore, a battle mage's ability to unleash high-level offensive magic is more dependent on their natural talent, while an engineer, although also requiring talent, is more dependent on their accumulated knowledge.

What frustrated her was that even though she was already a third-year senior, her level of CAD adjustment was completely different from those two juniors.

This means that not only is my talent inferior to theirs, but my diligence in studying is also far inferior to theirs.

No, those two cheated! (Author's comment)

The game ended.

Only five icicles remained standing alone within Kushima Mitsunobu's territory.

"It seems like it hit him even harder!"

Seeing that Ichijo Shūki looked somewhat lost and dejected, Kushima Mitsunori didn't pay him much attention.

Having been defeated by him twice in a row, offering words of comfort at this point would only be perceived as provocation.

Kushima Mitsunori stepped lightly off the platform. His competition was finally over today. He had been envious of Nanagusa Mayumi, who had finished her competition much earlier.

Moreover, he wasn't really keen on participating in the competitions to begin with, but this year he was forced to participate in three events, and in between he had to deal with a headless dragon, which had already left him physically and mentally exhausted.

He quickly went back to the players' lounge to change out of the clothes that he found extremely embarrassing.

Pushing open the door to the viewing room, all that was there to watch his match today were three people: Mayumi Nanakusa, Mari Watanabe, and Suzune Ichihara.

Everyone else went to watch Shiba Miyuki's {Illusory Star Picking} preliminary round. Although he was somewhat familiar with them, he was still no match for Shiba Miyuki, with whom he had a deep friendship. When their matches clashed, they would naturally choose Shiba Miyuki.

"Thanks for your hard work!"
