Mahiro never expected that Mayumi would actually give him a CAD!
She was truly beautiful and generous...
And very rich!
Although it was an older model "general-purpose" CAD, it seemed to be a hand-me-down that Senior Nanagusa no longer used.
But it was still surprising.
After all, a CAD used by the Seven Herbs Family's young miss, no matter how old the model, couldn't be that bad, could it?
And Mayumi even stated that.
He could keep using this one until he got his own CAD.
However, when she said this, Mayumi's face was noticeably flushed.
Mahiro could understand; after all, transferring a CAD to another person was equivalent to exposing all of one's secrets to them.
But he still refused the invitation to become a Public Morals Committee member.
Becoming a Public Morals Committee member sounded nice, but it was actually very tiring, requiring daily patrols.
The most crucial point was that the club recruitment week was approaching, which was the busiest time.
It would be better to join a club and have some fun.
But Mayumi told him not to rush his answer and to take his time considering it.
She also told him to go to the Student Council after school for CAD debugging.
"It feels so troublesome..."
It was indeed troublesome.
Especially after school, the situation became even more chaotic.
After a day of settling in and getting acquainted, small groups had basically formed and were moving together.
The good news was that his small group had gained three more members.
Besides Mitsui Honoka and Kitayama Shizuku from his class, there was also Saijou Leonhart, who was in the same class as Shiba Tatsuya.
He was a very strong-looking person, skilled in hardening magic.
But the bad news was that their small group had clashed with others.
Mahiro, who had originally come to the school gate intending to let Miyuki and the others go first, witnessed and even personally experienced such a scene.
"It's about time you gave up! Miyuki said she's going home with Yotsuba Student, so what right do you have to interfere?!"
"Who Miyuki is with is her freedom! What right do you have to decide for Miyuki?!"
Mizuki, with her cute cheeks puffed out, was loudly confronting the group of people blocking their way.
"Being together... Mi-Mizuki, have you misunderstood something?"
Hearing Mizuki's words, Miyuki, who was protected behind Tatsuya, visibly panicked.
The cause of the incident was simple.
Because there had been several frictions between the two small groups in the morning and at noon, by the time school was out, these envious and jealous male students came out looking for trouble.
Essentially, besides being infatuated with Miyuki's excellence and beauty, they also looked down on Second Course Students.
They felt that someone as excellent as Miyuki shouldn't be associated with Second Course Students.
"Miyuki, we have something to discuss with you!"
"That's right, we just need a little bit of their time!"
Their selfish remarks made Leo let out an arrogant laugh.
"Ha, you really talk to yourselves! If you really have something to say, wasn't break time enough?"
Erika also retorted with a sarcastic smile and tone.
"Since it's a discussion, shouldn't you first get the consent of the person involved? Ignoring Miyuki's wishes, how can that be called a discussion? You're all high school students, yet you don't even know such a simple principle. I truly worry about your future for your parents."
"Shut up! People from other classes, and what's more, a weed, have no right to criticize us, the Bloom!"
Due to its discriminatory meaning, school rules prohibited students from using the term "weed" to refer to Second Course Students.
Although in most cases it had become a regulation in name only, even so, it should not be used in such a public setting.
Hearing his wild words, the Second Course Students all glared angrily at that student.
The atmosphere inexplicably grew tense, and the few people on the opposite side still seemed to maintain a superior attitude.
And the first to react to this address was surprisingly Mizuki, the seemingly most fragile large-breasted girl with glasses.
"You guys..."
However, before she could speak, she was suddenly pulled back.
"Yotsuba Student?!"
Mizuki was very surprised by Yotsuba Mahiro's sudden appearance.
As he stopped Mizuki, he stepped forward and said, "Let me handle this."
"You? What's so great about just coincidentally gaining the favor of Senior Nanagusa? A mere outcast of the Yotsuba Family! Although I don't know what despicable means you used to mix in with us Ichiko Students, an outcast like you, a dropout, should be assigned to the weeds! You don't deserve to be by Miyuki's side at all!"
Morisaki Shun, the leader, glared angrily at Yotsuba Mahiro, who had stepped forward, speaking without any politeness.
His surname was Morisaki, a minor branch of the "Hundred Families," known for their rapid-fire magic.
And his impolite words had already angered many people present; at the very least, Miyuki reacted to it, a hint of anger showing on her face as she took out her CAD.
A massive thought-particle cluster was vaguely swirling around her.
However, Mahiro stopped her.
"Haha, interesting words!" He took a step forward. Despite the other party's words, which sounded like a warning, Mahiro was smiling, but the anger within could be heard.
"Yotsuba Student, don't be reckless! If you use magic on others without permission, it will violate school rules. Let's call the Public Morals Committee to resolve this." Honoka said, pulling Mahiro anxiously.
"That's right, this isn't the school's arena." Kitayama Shizuku also echoed expressionlessly.
"Do I need magic to teach them a lesson? You're overestimating them."
Mahiro scoffed disdainfully.
And his simple sentence instantly made the surrounding air stagnant.
It ignited the already thick smell of gunpowder.
"Oh dear, this is not good." Erika muttered softly, holding her head.
She knew very well that those arrogant Ichiko Students, many of whom carried "noble" bloodlines and had been known as geniuses since childhood, would definitely be provoked by such mockery from Yotsuba Mahiro.
However, anyone could see the smile on her face.
And her hand was already in her jacket's inner pocket, pulling out an expandable baton.
"Haha, you really dare to speak! Then I must certainly challenge you!"
Morisaki Shun, as a top student, aimed his pistol-shaped CAD at Yotsuba Mahiro amidst the screams of onlookers.
And pulled the trigger.
Clearly visible thought-particle waves surrounded Morisaki Shun, and the magic was rapidly forming under the simple activation sequence that prioritized speed.
"Idiot, don't you know that within five meters, a punch is faster than magic?"
Just when everyone thought Mahiro was about to be sent flying by Morisaki Shun's magic, Mahiro's figure suddenly vanished.
He kicked up a gust of wind and appeared in front of Morisaki Shun as if teleporting.
The distance between the two was so close that even the panic on the other person's face was clearly visible.
"Did he pre-release an acceleration spell?"
"No, that was just Mahiro's pure physical speed."
While the emotionless loli and Miyuki exchanged questions and answers, Mahiro had already made his move.
Under the other party's panicked and terrified gaze, his slender palm shot out like lightning, grabbing Morisaki Shun's face and instantly slamming him hard onto the ground!
Hearing that tooth-grinding thud and seeing the scene of a head shattering the ground.
Even Erika, who was about to strike, and Leo, who was about to activate his hardening magic, were stunned.
This Yotsuba Student, his Take action was a little too ruthless.
