After the duel ended with Tatsuya's victory, Ishihara senpai started to answer the bewildered student council president about what might have just happened, I was taken aback for a bit and couldn't help but applaud and praise her for her Magical Engineering talent .
She for some reason blushed at me doing this, she then noted how powerful was Tatsuya talent as well and she couldn't help but wonder out loud, on how can someone with such attainments be a course 2 student and not excelling in the entrance exam .
Just as he was about to bluff her as always, the orange haired petite senpai suddenly approached him with stars in her eyes as she looked at the CAD of his, she was surprisingly well-informed about the model, Silver Horn was the name of the CAD .
She kept on trying to reach for the pistol from his hand, but how tall was Tatsuya, I saw that her face showed a sign of disappointment and she looked around hoping that someone would help in granting her wishes of holding one .
She swept me with her glance and I couldn't help but wink at her while pointing my finger at the case behind her, where 2 more CAD of the same style laying there, he noticed my actions, but in the end he just sighed and allowed her to hold it finally .
The girl started to erupt in cheers which made the others look at here with interest as well, she thought that they might be trying to take it from here and she held it in her arms tightly, Ishihara and the student council president showed a great interest on how did Tatsuya acquired this CAD that had only been released in the market .
The reason this CAD was unique, was because it was the most suitable for Loop Casting, a technique that enables magicians to endlessly repeat a magic sequence without restarting the activation sequence on their Casting Assistant Devices, CADs .
It copies the last parts of the Activation Sequence back into the sequence itself, reducing time consumed and more efficiency in releasing magic, the CAD here was the best model suited for that special technique .
After the girls kept grumbling on their inability to discern who might be Taurus Silver, the person who created this CAD, I couldn't help but look at Tatsuya and his face frowned upon me doing this, so before he punch me, I decided to just laugh it out, it caught the attention of the three who were engrossed in contemplating and guessing who might he be .
They squinted their eyes at me and I don't know how come they reach such a conclusion, but after a while, the student council president and the other two suddenly suggested that I might know who he really was, being a Yotsuba Family member and such .
I sensed a glare in the back of my head and even though I had already decided silently to not blow his cover, I couldn't help but wonder what might happen if I told them about who Taurus Silver actually was .
Just as I thought like this, another glare hit me and I understood that he was aware of what I was thinking, so I turned to the girls with expectant eyes and shook my head and said :
" Well, since he didn't seem like a person who wanted lens to focus on him, it's best to leave the matters be, don't you think ? .
I thought that what I said sound reasonable, but it seem that it wasn't enough for them to drop the topic, instead they started to guess among themselves who he might be and how much older than them he was, after their opinions differed with some thinking that he was quite an old man, surprisingly Tatsuya had joined in and said :
Well, he might be a normal high school student .
But just like with me, his words hit a wall made of fantasy and fortified with unnatural expectations, they ignored him like like they did to me, then Ichihara Suzune seemed to have realized something from Nakajou Azusa explanation just now and looked at Tatsuya with disbelief, saying that even with Loop Casting, how was able to pull something like that .
He talked about how he inputted Variables in the Magical Sequence to change the structure of his magic, she was once again shocked by his understanding and control of magic, just as she was thinking about what he just said, the unconscious Hattori had finally woke up and with a still rigid breathing he said :
So that's how entrance exam can fail to detect someone this talented, it focused on testing other subjects .
The student council was surprised to see him waking up this quickly, but she called him Hanzo-kun, which made him feel as if someone pricked him by a needle and he instantly stood up and regained his lost valor and he apologized to both Tatsuya and Miyuki for his harsh words before, then stepped out of the room after taking permission from the president .
" You aren't a bad person, Hanzo .
Hearing someone calling him Hanzo, he almost collapsed on the floor, he really seemed to hate that name, but that's the reason that I'm starting to use it to tease him, he just glared at me then the student council president then got out of the room .
As he did, the school bell responsible for announcing the start of our second school day went off, I thought that this was my signal to head to my class, but as I was about to step out, the president of the Public Morals Committee Watanabe Mari had stopped me saying that I will need to accompany her to the office first .
Tatsuya had been finally admitted to the vacant seat in the Public Morals Committee that the student council can allocate, he was still a bit grumpy about this turn of events, but Miyuki's expectant gaze made him unable to refuse .
I bid farewell to Juvia and told her to not stress herself, seeing traces of her magic being used to ease the side effects of the workload that the students council had to deal with, she nodded happily at this and I got out of the room behind Mari-senpai, who was feeling a bit uncomfortable standing with me alone like this .
Tatsuya hadn't came out yet, she did seem like she had something to say to me, but she wasn't able to gather her strength and muster the words or the courage to say what in her mind, as she seemed to finally bring able to do that, Tatsuya had finally joined us, which made the courage that she had gathered crumple and her face become quite passive again and she led us to the Public Morals Committee room .
Which was quite close to where our current location was, as we entered the room, the first thing that the two of us noted was that the place was quite messy, items were thrown across the ground, CADs were piled randomly, documents were everywhere, the whole place seemed to be in need of a serious cleaning up .
Would Watanabe-senpai had any issue with me cleaning up, as a person who aspire to be a Magical Engineer, I find the current circumstances of this room quite repelling .
Well, I hadn't heard any complains from the other guys, but this place indeed seem to be in need for a good cleaning, I would lend you a hand with that, but...wait...., you want to be a Technical Magic Engineer even when you have such a terrifying combat attainments .
I didn't have much to share with these two guys, so I began to use magic to set everything in order, she noticed this and said :
Even though I had given you now a permission to use Magic on campus, I still would like for you to use your own hands in helping us cleaning or just stand by the side, people of the Public Morals Committee need to lead by example, don't tell me that you as a Yotsuba Family member frown upon doing something like this .
Hearing what she said, I couldn't help but wonder what would my mother say if she were to get news of something like this, I had made the family reform, but that didn't mean that I had stripped them of the pride that had already been engraved on their bodies and souls .
So this indeed might create some unnecessary troubles, but once again, I don't think that either of them Tatsuya and her will report me if I were to actually do this, but just for the sake of argument, I stopped using Magic and stood up from my seat and started to use my actual hands to sort the messy room, but not without tilting my head in her direction and saying :
" Well, if we looked at the whole facilities in the school, you would be able to see that it completely run on magic, so I don't really understand the reason for the forbiddance on the use of magic in campus .
My words had made her stop in her tracks for a little bit, then she shook her head and said :
Well, when you have more than 300 students and you have two different courses that hate each other's guts, then such a forbiddance would only be something necessary for stopping troubles from happening, but you already know that, does baiting me bring you this much fun .
Seeing the smile on my face as she was continuing to say this, she realized what I was doing and I saw here roll an old piece of paper in her hands and seemed to be ready in teaching me a lesson, I coughed a bit awkwardly and said while looking at the stuff on ground in her side of the room :
" Well, it's always better to get one hands busy .
She gritted her teeth, but still continued to sort the stuff around here, I then started to get busy with my own part of the room, then I heard her talking about what happened yesterday and how that guy Moriasaki was a good guy, but he just hanging on to his sense of superiority .
Tatsuya was wondering about the reason to why she brought this up, then she said that he too would be joining the committee, making both me and Tatsuya a bit surprised at this, but then she seemed to have already anticipated this and she said that she would be sure to discipline him or us if there was a need to, she said this while using her Magic to edit the Eidos of the paper in her hand to look like a blade .
We both shook our heads mentally and carried on our business, at least I did, Tatsuya on the other hand, still feeling a bit salty about his new position, he still wanted to make his thoughts about this being a bad move clear, him being picked to join the force while being a Course 2 student and how it may create disputes and the unwillingness of both the seniors Upperclassmen and even the Freshmen .
She was able to understand his worries from the upperclassmen, but the fellow freshmen being angry at this wasn't a concern for her, she said that she too was sick of the situation and relationship between the Course 1 and 2, she said that he should just do his responsibilities to the best he could and that she believed that this new arrangement might mend the relationship between the two Courses, signaling a new beginning .
As for the upperclassmen, she seemed to be treating them as if they were grumpy old men, she told Tatsuya that she would be taking responsibility for everything he does, so he should do his job, but he didn't to be so uptight about it .
I was listening from the sidelines, not interested in joining this type of conversation, but she suddenly asked for my opinion regarding this, I wondered for the reason to why she was interested, but her answer made me halt in what I was doing, she said :
I want to know your thoughts regarding this, but also want to consult you since, the letter appointing you as my righ hand or maybe even my new boss might come any second now, so it's better to discuss any issues like this beforehand .
So that was what she was on about, I couldn't help but feel a little bit ashamed by this, I couldn't help but wonder the structure of this committee didn't mention that their was any position like a vice-chairman or an assistant of any kind, so could what she just said actually happen and the school reform the committee like this .
" Well, I don't know anything about what you are thinking regarding me appointed in some position like that, but if you are asking about what I think regarding the Courses, then I would tell you directly that I don't like neither of the two .
" I know it might sound shocking, but I would like to break that system someday, the only thing it does is creating an atmosphere filled with resentment and feeling a grea deal of inferiority and unproven superiority .
After I finished saying this, the two of them looked at each other and she finally said :
Well, even though I feel that your line of thoughts are dangerous, I'm at least glad that I know you mean well, you mean well, right ? .
I could have nodded instantly as I did indeed intended to do the good thing at least in my opinion, but seeing her worried gaze, I stayed silent for a while to give her an excuse to doubt me .
Just as I did this, the room doors were suddenly opened and two guys barged in, they were upperclassmen and were wearing a red Armband that had the words public morals committee on them, at least the initials of each word was there .
The moment they came in, they started to give their reports to her, one of them called her big sister, while the other called her boss, the first got his head beaten by a folded piece of paper for having called her that, the latter just checked his surrounding and saw us now standing there watching all this unfolding and signaled his partner .
Are we having guests today, this is the guy I saw in the newspaper, Yotsuba Ryuu, right, what is he here for, had someone troubled him ? .
Before he continue with asking even more questions, the chairman had began to massage her head, seem to be suddenly having a mild headache and she finally introduced us as the new recruits, one of the two guys looked at Tatsuya and he seemed to be sizing him up and down, then he suddenly said :
Unmarked, huh !!!.
