Anime, infinite dimension starting from Mahou no Yakumo

It's indeed inevitable that people would have this thought.

“I think there’s something wrong with what you said, Watanabe-senpai,” Yotsuba Mahiro suddenly said.

Morley looked at him, puzzled, and asked, "What's the problem?"

Mahiro explained, "Indeed, in the Nine Schools Tournament, the magic craftsmen can be a factor in winning, but they are by no means the whole story."

"After all, magic engineers are not gods and cannot arbitrarily control the battle. All we can do is try to discover the potential of the players, but in the end, it still depends on the players' own efforts."

"Leaving aside Mayumi-senpai, just take □, who I'm in charge of, for example. It's precisely because □ is excellent enough that she's able to use the tactics I designed for her."

That's true, and everyone has to admit it.

After all, whether it's the vibration magic similar to "Magic Bullet Shooter" in "Rapid Fire", or the phonon blast and spell dispel used in "Ice Pillar Offense and Defense".

Without massive computing power and quantum computing capabilities, it would be impossible to utilize this technology.

Not to mention operating two CAD programs.

At this moment, Mahiro spoke again:

"If that's not enough, then let me use myself as an example."

"In the recent competition, I not only had to debug CAD and study tactics for Mayumi-senpai, □-classmate, and Mori-senpai, but I also had to make adjustments for myself and accept the unequal rules from the Nine Schools Tournament Committee. In the end, didn't I still win two championships?"

"Take Hattori Norizo, for example. Although his engineering skills weren't very strong, Hattori overcame that and still won the championship, didn't he?"

"So, if you're bad at something, just practice more. There's no need to emphasize any objective reasons. If you lose, you lose. Trying to find a way to save face is just too ugly."

Although his words were harsh and contained some self-aggrandizement, they were undoubtedly the truth.

Moreover, winning the championship despite being targeted by the committee is certainly something to boast about.

If it were anyone else, they would probably have already told God and others.

“That’s right, what Mahiro-nii said is very true. If you don’t work hard enough, it won’t help even if you give them engineers like your older brother and Mahiro-nii.” Miyuki was the first to speak up.

Moreover, the evaluation is more incisive than that of Makoto.

Next up was Ichihara Suzune: "I also agree with Yotsuba's statement. The boys' team should really reflect on their own actions instead of emphasizing other excuses."

"Um... I think so too." Nakajo Azusa, exuding a petite, weakly raised her hand and said.

Kitayama chimed in, "Masashi is right, the worse you are, the more you practice. Just like that idiot Honoka, who had Nakajo-senpai in charge of the 'surfing race' event, and she still won the championship."

"Huh? Why are you suddenly talking about me?!"

Upon hearing □ suddenly comment on her, Honoka couldn't help but shyly clench her cup.

"Wow, I didn't expect so many people to speak up for you."

Mori spoke subtly, glancing at the girls present with an ambiguous look.

It's impossible for Ichihara Suzune and Nakajo Azusa to get together. Having worked together for so long, she knows their personalities very well.

As for Shiba Miyuki and Kitayama □...

Ultimately, she set her sights on □.

"Speaking of which, junior Beishan, I heard you've been recruiting junior Siye recently, planning to make him your personal engineer?"

“Yes, that’s right.” Kitayama admitted, “I did have that idea at first, but now it’s okay even if I’m not my personal engineer.”

Thankfully, this time she didn't use ambiguous language to say those nasty things.

"Oh? What do you say, Junior Clover?"

As if joking, Morley's gaze, emanating from his dark golden eyes, fell upon him.

Beishan□: (□□□)

stare--

□'s sharp gaze also silently fixed on him.

With no other option, Mahiro raised his hands in surrender and said, "Please let me go, I can't accept this."

"Can you tell me why?" Kitayama asked.

Although she had expected this outcome, she still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"Hey, don't look at me like that. I'll just give you one reason and you'll understand: what if I were to return to the Yotsuba main family someday?"

"what...."

Beishan couldn't help but let out a small gasp.

Aside from the Shiba siblings, everyone else looked at him with great surprise.

Mayumi was about to ask, "Is there still a possibility of this?", but then she remembered that the head of the Yotsuba family had come to the Nine Schools Tournament to watch Makoto's match, so she swallowed her words.

It's really possible.

"So it's not that I don't want to accept it, it's that I can't."

If he really accepts the job as Kitayama's exclusive technician, then Yotsuba Maya will probably be able to use her connections to completely exploit the Kitayama family.

He can't do something like this.

But that doesn't mean he can let Watanabe-senpai, who deliberately stirred up trouble, off the hook.

"W-What are you doing...?"

His ambiguous, half-smiling gaze made Morley feel a little uneasy.

"Nothing, I'm just curious about something. By the way, Watanabe-senpai, where's your boyfriend? He was injured in the Nine Schools Battle, but he didn't even come to check on you."

"On the contrary, he's always freeloading at my place."

"This is somewhat substandard..."

It's one thing to freeload, but to act like such a high-wattage third wheel every time is another.

As a result, Sayaka would always discuss swordsmanship with him, and only at night would Sayaka belong to him alone, enjoying brief moments of tenderness.

"Um... Junior Shinji, don't you know?"

"what do you know?"

When Mayumi asked him a question, Mahiro looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Exactly, Morrie doesn't even have a boyfriend."

"what???"

Now it was Mahiro's turn to be surprised.

Is it true that Watanabe-senpai doesn't have a boyfriend?

But it is what it is.

There were people who pursued the transitional border town of Mori.

That was when she was training at the Chiba family dojo, and was pursued by Chiba Shuuji, the second son of the Chiba family, who was Erika's brother and was known as the "Chiba family's prodigy".

However, he was rejected by Mori at the time, which made Chiba Shuji very sad and disappointed.

Erika deeply respected her brothers, which led her to become hostile towards Watanabe Mari.

......

.....

.....

The competition was held as scheduled the following day.

With only two days left in the official competition, all the universities are showing off their skills.

Although the fact that No. 1 High School won the championship is irreversible, the other universities are still putting in their best efforts for the upcoming competitions.

Everyone is striving to win second place.

However, Watanabe Mari still won the "Star Picking in the Illusion" title on the first day, marking the end of her three-year career.

While not as breathtaking as flight magic, the continuous movement and hardening of the composite spells used to leap repeatedly, like climbing a ladder to heaven, is enough to amaze everyone.

That's right.

This time, there was no headless dragon to stop them.

During the rookie tournament, Tatsuya once again used flight magic on Miyuki.

The reason is that after being comforted by Mahiro that day, Miyuki seemed to have figured something out and decided to face the competition in her best form.

So, Miyuki used the flight magic that Tatsuya had just invented, shocking the nine high schools.

The following "Decoding the Secret Stele" is the perfect finale.

Katsuto Jumonji, leading Kotaro Tatsumi and Norizo ​​Hattori, displayed excellent tactics and magic during the match, earning everyone's recognition.

Especially his final battle against Sango Ichijo Shōki, which can be considered a model of real combat.

Unfortunately, the air bomb encountered the "walled square formation" of the Jumonji Katsutoshi, and even with all his might, Ichijo Shōki could not defeat it.

Therefore, they suffered a crushing defeat.

He created the first ever losing streak myth of the Ten Masters Clan, even though all the opponents he fought were members of the Ten Masters Clan.

However, perhaps because this was an internal struggle within the Ten Masters Clan, the old man, Kushima Retsu, surprisingly appeared in a special seat to watch the match.

After the performance ended, Kushima Retsu seemed to notice the gazes coming from the audience below.

She slowly lowered her head, and her eyes met those of Yotsuba Mahiro.

"Grandpa Kushima, as agreed, I have come to see you."

After the Nine Schools Battle, Yotsuba Mahiro met with Kushima Retsu as promised to discuss the international criminal organization "Headless Dragon".

But the difference is.

This time, Kushima Retsu was accompanied by a black-haired woman.

Wearing a white dress, with a tall and mature figure, she was none other than the granddaughter of Kushima Retsu, the lieutenant of the Independent Magic Armor Squadron—[Electronic Witch] Fujibayashi Kyoko.

"Hi~ Mahiro, it's been a long time since we last met, hasn't it?"

Kyoko Fujibayashi smiled sweetly, waved to him, and greeted him naturally.

“Yes, Ms. Fujibayashi, it’s been three years since we last met since Okinawa.” Mahiro replied calmly, “But since Ms. Fujibayashi is here, I guess I don’t need to say anything more about the Headless Dragon, right?”

He slowly shifted his gaze to the old man across from him who was drinking tea.

"Yes, I already know about the [Headless Dragon] matter, and the mole within the Nine Schools Battle Operations Committee has also been dealt with."

Under his gaze, Kushima Retsu put down his teacup, his calm smile revealing a joy or sorrow that was impossible to fathom.

"On behalf of the officials of the Nine Schools Battle, I thank you for your help, and I personally would like to meet you."

"really?"

Mahiro smiled slightly: "I can believe the first half of what you said, but if you want to see me... there's no need for such polite words, is there?"

He didn't think that this wicked old man would wait for him to come here and chatter idly.

"I think, of all the people I know, and who know me, you're probably the only one who least wants to see me outside the Fourth Research Institute, Mr. Kushima, right?"

"After all, the title 'Forbidden Zone of the Fourth Research Institute' was given to me by you, Mr. Kushima."

Upon hearing this, the air froze, filled with a deathly silence.

Kyoko Fujibayashi, who was serving Retsu Kushima, couldn't help but hold her breath.

She hadn't expected that Yotsuba Mahiro would show absolutely no respect for her grandfather...

"Hehe, you little rascal, your mouth is as sharp as ever." Kushima Retsu seemed to have expected this, showing a gentle smile and completely ignoring his disrespectful words.

Mahiro felt as if he had punched a cotton ball.

That's the only bad thing about this group of shameless old men; they're all incredibly thick-skinned.

He could only sigh helplessly and take his leave.

"Since there's nothing else, I have to go back. The victory celebration banquet at the Nine Schools Battle is waiting for me, so please excuse me for not being able to continue our conversation."

After saying that, Shinji got up and left.

There was no drag at all.
