It kept spitting out white foam, and saliva and snot were dripping all over the ground.
His memories are being forcibly and rapidly reviewed by Yotsuba Mahiro.
This is something that other families would definitely not be able to do, but for the Yotsuba family, who are skilled in mental magic, it is a piece of cake.
As for whether there will be any long-term effects, he doesn't care at all.
Persistence pays off. After scanning the man's memories, Yotsuba Mahiro found what he was looking for.
The international criminal organization "No Head Dragon," the gambling ring surrounding the Nine Schools War, and the insider within the Operations Committee...
A dangerous glint flashed in Yotsuba Mahiro's eyes.
"Now, we've finally caught you by the tail."
Chapter 49 The Mouse That Stepped on the Cat
"What happened?"
Just as the room fell silent, and everyone watched in horror as Yotsuba Mahiro squatted on the ground and brutally beat up the head of the operations committee, an old man's voice slowly rang out.
The voice was very calm, without any sense of oppression or authority, and it felt very familiar to Makoto.
"Grandpa Kushima, it's been a long time."
He tossed the man, who had become mentally disabled, onto the ground as if he were throwing away trash.
Adhering to the most basic courtesy, he rose and bowed to Kushima Retsu.
"Yes, it has been a long time. The matches the other day were very exciting, and you performed very well. But can you tell me what happened here?"
"I discovered that this bastard illegally added techniques to the CAD files of our school's contestants, so I dragged him out for a little questioning."
As a gesture, he also kicked the idiot at his feet.
"That's it."
Everyone who had just been frozen by Yotsuba Mahiro's violent aura and killing intent believed it was a lie.
They don't believe anyone can add techniques to CAD using a scanner.
Moreover, this is far from a mere questioning.
They witnessed firsthand how Yotsuba Mahiro brutally beat up the person in charge.
It was more like revenge than interrogation.
Everyone present knew that the operations committee had banned the use of magic spells yesterday because Yotsuba's magic power was too strong.
So, isn't this really revenge?
But with Retsu Kushima present, they didn't dare to interrupt.
"Was it this CAD file that was illegally tampered with?"
"Yes."
The old magician, once hailed as the most skilled and ingenious, took the CAD from the inspection machinery, examined it closely, and nodded.
"...There was indeed a foreign object mixed in. I remember this thing. It was an electronic cicada that appeared in the East China Sea Islands war zone when I was still an active-duty soldier."
After Kushima Retsu finished speaking, he cast a cold glance at the man lying on the ground, drooling.
The electronic cicada is a special magic that infiltrates electronic machines via wired connections, paralyzing high-tech weapons.
It is not an ordinary magic spell.
The person behind this is quite intriguing.
With this in mind, Kushima Retsu walked towards that person.
But then, Yotsuba Mahiro's voice rang out.
"Old Master Kushima, if you want to get anything out of this person, you should give up."
He said, "I have forcibly read this man's memories, turning him into a dementiac. If you want to know anything, just ask me."
These words sent a chill down the spines of several committee members.
Before they could speak, Makoto continued:
"However, the background of the person behind this is somewhat unusual, so I'd like to discuss this with you after the Nine Schools Tournament is over, what do you think?"
As he spoke, his gaze inadvertently swept over the group of people following behind Kushima Retsu.
Those men immediately felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast, and cold sweat poured down their backs. They involuntarily took a few steps back.
Is this boy really a student?!
Kushima Retsu understood the implied meaning and immediately smiled happily.
"Let's do it this way. Come find me after the competition. It's been so many years since we last met, and I'd like to have a good chat with you, little guy."
"As for the CAD, let's use the spare parts. Since this has happened, there's no need to re-examine it—Chairman of the Assembly, don't you think?"
Kushima Retsu's sudden remark made the people following behind him nod hastily, like mice caught off guard by a cat.
"The fact that an undercover agent infiltrated the operations committee and tampered with things is an unprecedented scandal. You need to explain this properly."
The chairman of the conference looked like he might faint at any moment, but still managed to give a barely affirmative response.
Thanks to Kushima Retsu's intervention, this matter has come to a close.
......
When Zhenxun returned to the headquarters tent of No. 1 High School with the CAD, he found it completely silent.
The gazes cast upon him were quite subtle; some felt ashamed, some wavered, some were terrified, and some were grateful.
He didn't know why these senior students had so many emotions.
Until Mayumi appeared.
"Oh dear, it's really looking for a junior."
As the student council president and the student representative, Mayumi greeted him with a warmer gaze and a calmer voice than anyone else.
"When I heard from the conference headquarters that the students of our school had suddenly rioted, I was worried that you, junior, were going to cause trouble for the committee because of your dissatisfaction with yesterday's events. I didn't expect that you were protecting our contestant, Morley."
Although this statement is nine-tenths inaccurate and has a somewhat mocking tone, it is generally true.
Even Watanabe-senpai came up to him to express her gratitude.
"Thank you, junior. The organizers have already notified us about the conflict."
But what exactly happened during the CAD inspection?
Not only Watanabe Mari, but everyone else was also very curious.
The conference notice was very ambiguous and did not provide any specific details, perhaps because they were afraid of losing face.
"It's just a coincidence that we caught a petty thief adding illegal spells to the CAD during a scan. It's nothing serious."
As he spoke, he handed the completed CAD file to Watanabe-senpai.
"Although the organizers allowed us to use the spare parts, it doesn't mean we don't need to test them. But I've already cleaned up any illegal spells in this. Senior, you should continue using this."
"?"
Morley paused for a moment, then asked curiously, "If we can use spare parts, why go through all this trouble?"
In response, Mahiro shrugged helplessly and said, "There's too little time left, and the competition is about to start. There's no way to write down the protective spell, so you'll have to make do with what you have on hand, Senpai."
Or... does my senior not trust me and is afraid that there might be remnants of illegal spells inside that could affect the competition?
He spoke the second half of the sentence in a joking tone.
But this also made Watanabe's voice rise a few decibels.
"How could that be?! I just... felt it wasn't necessary to go through all that trouble..."
"Oh, Mori! Shinji is only thinking about your safety."
Mayumi said, "It's always good to have a protective spell as insurance. Mori, you don't want any accidents to happen during the competition, do you?"
"That's right..."
"In that case, Mori, you'd better hurry up and prepare for the match!"
Mayumi urged Watanabe-senpai to hurry up and then pushed her back, forcibly pushing her out of the No. 1 High School's camp area.
But after turning back.
Mayumi then pulled him into a more secluded room, her expression turning serious.
"Junior Brother Zhenxun, tell me honestly, is this matter very troublesome?"
"You deliberately sent Watanabe-senpai away just to ask me about this?"
Mayumi didn't say anything, she just stared at him.
Although she didn't know exactly what had happened, as the eldest daughter of the Nana family, she could already sense the danger.
"Okay. I'm sorry, I can't tell you about this right now."
"why?"
"Because this is what Grandpa Kushima Retsu wanted."
Chapter 50 Meteor Shower
Although this was simply a ploy to intimidate Mayumi and discourage her from seeking the truth, there was nothing that could be done.
What good will knowing do?
In the end, it will only increase your troubles.
Time moves forward.
When the ice pillar attack and defense semi-finals came around, the stadium was still packed with people.
But compared to yesterday's cheers, today there were many more whispers.
Especially when she saw Yotsuba Mahiro still wearing that obviously engineer's outfit.
"Heh, what's there to be so arrogant about? He just knows an A-rank destructive spell."
"No, no, the magic that guy used has been upgraded to tactical level by the competition organizers and has been banned by the operations committee."
"Really? Does that mean he can't use it? How is he going to compete now?"
"This is going to be interesting!"
.....
Although the voices of these people were not loud, they became quite clear as more people joined in.
It happened to reach Sayaka's ears as she was preparing to watch the match.
She turned around and glared angrily at those people, then turned back to those around her and asked:
"What are these people talking about? What kind of magic is forbidden in the competition?"
Upon hearing this, Miyuki, Kitayama, and Honoka, who were both contestants and insiders, all looked away and remained silent.
Especially Shen Xue, whose hands couldn't help but clench the hem of her skirt tightly.
The things the committee did were, to anyone's eyes, far too much!
However, she still believed in Yotsuba Mahiro, just as she said yesterday, so what if the clouds didn't clear up?
Mahiro has so many magic tricks he can use; he can still slap these people in the face!
Sayaka was the only one who had no idea what was going on, and she looked at them hoping to get an answer.
At that moment, Erica gently patted her shoulder and said:
"It's normal that you don't know, Xiangxiang. Just last night, the official Nine Schools Tournament issued a notice that they have upgraded Yotsuba's magic to the tactical level and banned its use."
"What?! How could this be...? How could they do something so outrageous?!"
Sayaka's reaction was almost the same as when they first found out: both bewildered and angry.
Even though she wasn't a contestant in the Nine Schools Tournament, she knew the rules after watching so many matches.
