Anime, infinite dimension starting from Mahou no Yakumo

The one speaking was Mayumi Nanagusa, who was sitting to the right.

She, along with Katsuto Jumonji and Mari Watanabe, sat in front like the three giants of the navy.

"What I did is nothing. Tatsuya is the real expert. He took on an entire swordsmanship club all by himself," Mahiro said modestly.

Because he was also a participant, he was summoned here for questioning and further information.

"So, you failed to grasp the cause of the incident?"

Watanabe Mari, the head of the disciplinary committee, suddenly asked a question, which brought Tatsuya, who was observing Jumonji Katsuto, back to his senses. Tatsuya then expressed his affirmation of Mari's question.

"Yes. The Kendo Club claims that Kirihara-senpai provoked them, while the Swordsmanship Club claims that the Kendo Club struck first. We cannot confirm the veracity of either side's account."

Upon hearing this, Mahiro turned his head and looked at Tatsuya with a subtle gaze.

This guy is lying.

Even though he witnessed the whole process, from the confrontation between Kirihara-senpai and Mibu-senpai, he did not deny the falsification of the swordsmanship club.

"So, that's why Tatsuya didn't make a move from the beginning?"

This is the question raised by Mayumi.

From the beginning until now, Jumonji has only ever played the role of a listener.

"Yes! My presupposition is to intervene if I judge the situation to be dangerous. If it's a minor bruise or sprain that can be dealt with, I consider it a private matter between the parties involved."

When Mayumi asked him a question, Tatsuya gave an affirmative answer with an additional condition.

Indeed, from the perspective of the disciplinary committee, private sword fights are not within their jurisdiction; they are only responsible for violent acts involving magic.

"...Never mind. It's true that in terms of manpower, we can't send people out every time there's a fire."

According to principle, problems that occur during the admissions period should be handled internally by the student association alliance.

Mori's statement was based on this principle, so neither Mayumi nor Jumonji raised any objections.

"So, how is Kirihara-kun, who was injured by Mahiro-kun, doing now?"

"Kirihara-senpai has a fractured left wrist, a minor fracture of the clavicle, and a fractured rib. He has been handed over to the health committee for treatment."

"However, he has already admitted his mistake in the infirmary, so I judge that no further action is needed."

Tatsuya reported the truth.

But when Mayumi and Mari heard this, they both looked at Mahiro with reproachful eyes.

They were still as ruthless as ever. Morisaki Hayao was also beaten into the infirmary in the same way. It was only thanks to the advanced medical care of this era, and the existence of magic that could heal, that he survived.

Otherwise, you'd have to stay in the hospital for a long time.

However, Mahiro seemed oblivious to their gazes, turning his head to look out the window at the scenery as if it were none of his business.

Morley also withdrew his gaze and sighed helplessly:

"Hmm... okay, whether or not to prosecute the person involved is ultimately based on the judgment of the person who reported the incident."

Jūmonji, the head of the club alliance, had no objection to this.

They even expressed their gratitude.

After all, Kirihara Takeaki used a powerful magic called High-Frequency Blade.

If it is reported, even if no one is injured, the student will still have to be suspended from school.

"But will the Kendo Club accept this punishment?" Mayumi asked with some concern.

"They are guilty of the same crime for accepting provocations that lead to conflict, and they have no right to complain."

Mori refuted Mayumi's concerns with a single sentence, and Mayumi was unable to refute them further.

The head of the disciplinary committee made a ruling, the president of the student union accepted the ruling, and the student council president had no objection, thus bringing the matter to a close.

That's how it should have been.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Tatsuya was about to leave, Mahiro, who had been admiring the scenery, turned his gaze back and said, "I have an objection!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the three leaders in front all turned to him.

He asked, puzzled, "Junior Brother Zhenxun, do you have any further objections?"

"I think Watanabe-senpai's statement is problematic."

Mahiro said righteously, "I witnessed the whole conflict. It was indeed Kirihara-senpai who provoked Mibu-senpai first. Mibu-senpai defeated Kirihara-senpai, but Kirihara-senpai was still angry and used magic to even sneak attack Mibu-senpai."

"Neither the Kendo Club nor Mibu-senpai used any magic throughout the entire process."

"If we judge guilt based on the misuse of magic, then what wrong has the Kendo Club done?"

Morley frowned slightly and replied, "As I just said, they are equally guilty if they accept provocation and cause conflict."

"If that's the case, according to Watanabe-senpai's statement, it's like the saying 'it takes two to tango,' does that mean we should support the victim-blaming theory?"

"Is the senior going to ask next, 'Why does the swordsmanship club provoke the kendo club instead of others?'"

"Or rather, when someone slaps you in the face, the victim has to endure it and can't fight back?"

Mahiro's rapid-fire questions nearly made Mori dizzy. She rubbed her forehead and denied, "Mahiro-kun, what you're saying are two different things..."

"What's different? Please, Senior Mari... please, Disciplinary Committee Chairperson Watanabe Mari, please explain!"

Mahiro's rebuttal wasn't loud, but it was clear enough to reach everyone's ears.

Even to their ears, it was deafening.

Katsuto Jumonji stared at him with a serious expression, his brows conveying both authority and a hint of displeasure.

Or rather, he always had that tense expression.

Mayumi's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she covered her mouth in surprise, as if she were exclaiming "Oh my!"

Mori, who was the head of the disciplinary committee and made the judgment on what had just happened, had a wry smile on his face.

"Junior Zhenxun, are you still holding a grudge against me because of what happened last time? Is that why you're using this to get back at me?"

“Mori-senpai is overthinking it,” Mahiro said frankly. “I just hope the school can make a fair judgment, instead of favoring the sword club or the students in the first department.”

This surprised even Morley.

Even though Yotsuba Mahiro is also a first-year student, he insists on offending the first-year students' clubs to the death.

Is there any benefit to doing this?

She considered a possibility, a playful smile appearing on her face. She slowly sat up straight, crossed her arms, and relaxed, saying:

"Alright, so how does Masahiro-kun intend to handle this? Should we discipline the swordsmanship club? Or perhaps suspend Kirihara-kun from school or expel him?"

“I have neither such thoughts nor such rights.”

Knowing he was being teased, Mahiro remained unfazed and calmly addressed the high-ranking individuals:

"I just feel that everyone in the swordsmanship club, especially Kirihara-senpai, owes Mibu-senpai and the kendo club an apology!"

Chapter 14 Tatsuya Shiba, You're Lying

Evening after school.

A group of students from No. 1 High School sat together in a coffee shop near the station.

Despite the obvious distinction between first-year and second-year students, they did not sit separately as opposed to each other as they would in school.

Everyone gathered together to chat about their various experiences of the day—

For example, what happens in the club you joined, how boring it is to look after the recruitment booth, or someone using recruitment as a pretext to flirt with you.

But what everyone is most concerned about is, as expected, the riot that occurred at the second small stadium.

"That second-year student named Kirihara used a level B magic, right? As expected of the Yotsuba family, he managed to escape unscathed."

"It's nothing. The high-frequency blade mainly increases the lethality, but the range is still limited to the wooden sword. At most, it's just like a real sword with a sharpened blade. It's not a big problem."

Leo had been full of admiration since the beginning, while Mahiro seemed to be stating something insignificant.

After all, compared to the experiments of the Fourth Research Institute and Maya's magic, a single high-frequency blade is indeed not enough.

"But wouldn't that be like trying to stop someone from wielding a real sword with your bare hands? Wouldn't that be dangerous?"

"If you're not careful, you might lose your life," Kitayama stated expressionlessly.

"Huh?! Is it true?" Honoka exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh, it'll be alright. You all underestimate Yotsuba. You have no idea how different the way Mibu-senpai looked at Yotsuba after she was rescued was."

"Yes, Mizuki, Kitayama, and Honoka, in terms of physical skills, are just as good as their older brother, Mahiro."

Erika, as always, made lighthearted jokes, or rather, she had been using the matter to tease Makoto all the way.

Meanwhile, Miyuki calmly comforted Mizuki, who looked unwell, Kitayama, who was expressionless, and Honoka, who looked terrified, but her gaze kept falling on Mahiro.

Mibu-senpai...?

"It's not as exaggerated as you say, Miyuki."

Mahiro looked away from the terminal and met Miyuki's gaze. He smiled.

"Compared to your brother Tatsuya, I'm still far behind. After all, Tatsuya single-handedly took down the entire sword club, while I only defeated Kirihara-senpai."

"Brother Zhenxun is always so humble."

"Yeah, both of them are clearly perverts."

Miyuki and Erika chimed in, and the others agreed as they sipped their tea.

They were speechless.

Aside from Erika, who was present, everyone else had heard about Shiba Tatsuya's one-on-one challenge against the sword club, but nothing was as impressive as what they had actually witnessed.

In Erika's opinion, Kirihara's swordsmanship was undeniably sharp and his destructive power was by no means inferior.

She hadn't expected Yotsuba Mahiro to break through her attack with a single sword strike, his body completely devoid of any extra force, indicating that he hadn't even subconsciously felt any tension or fear.

Although the Aikido techniques that Shiba Tatsuya used later were also impressive, they were somewhat inferior in comparison.

This gave her the idea of ​​having a competition with Yotsuba Mahiro.

'Perhaps what I said before about defeating Sayaka Mibu wasn't just empty talk.'

The others, on the other hand, recalled the scene when Mayumi beat up Morisaki.

The only difference is that the protagonist who gets beaten up is Kirihara-senpai.

Thinking about it that way, it really is tragic.

"No, I don't think I'm as good as Yotsuba-san."

At that moment, Tatsuya, who had been quietly sipping his coffee, suddenly put down his cup and spoke, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"Oh dear, does Tatsuya-kun have some dirty secret to reveal?"

It was Erika who spoke; upon hearing about Yotsuba Mahiro's revelation, she immediately became interested.

The others also looked at Tatsuya with interest.

"Actually, it's not exactly a scandal. It's just that when Yotsuba was at the club alliance headquarters, she single-handedly refuted the decision made by the three major figures in the school and insisted that Kirihara-senpai apologize to Mibu-senpai."

Tatsuya calmly recounted everything.

But as soon as he said this, the others gasped in surprise and looked at Yotsuba Mahiro with incredulous eyes.

It's as if they're saying, "How daring..."

Even though Shinjiro is known as Yotsuba, in their minds he is a discarded pawn, yet he dares to openly oppose Nanagusa and Jumonji.

That's a powerful figure who holds real power at the school!

"And Yotsuba successfully persuaded them, successfully getting the Club Alliance, the Student Council, and the Disciplinary Committee to back down and change their judgment," Tatsuya added casually.

Makoto's face had turned completely dark.

He still clearly remembers what happened.

"If it's just an apology, I agree. Let's handle it this way, okay?"

"I have no opinion."
