Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei

Volume 31 - Ch 6



A+A-

August 1 st .

No one in Japan (whether it be the government, the military, or even the Ten Master Clans) was aware of the looming threat.

The topic of the phone call Miyuki received this sultry afternoon was something very peaceful.

Huh? To hold a Nine Schools Competition? By yourself?

In early May, the Nine Schools Competition event was cancelled for this year because the magic that was developed by Tatsuya and used by Shizuku at the Competition , Active Air Mine , was later used by guerillas as a large-scale weapon of slaughter. Followed by the series of military incidents involving magicians, the question of the Competition resumption wasnt even considered. Additionally, its been rumored that the Competition is to be abolished altogether.

So to suddenly hold the Competition at only the initiative of magic high school students - Miyukis surprise was reasonable.

Its not going to be the full Nine Schools Competition, just Monolith Code matches.

Honoka heard this too from Igarashi, the Club Management Group leader, when she came into the school library to access additional reference material in preparation of the university entrance examination.

Its kinda sad without exchanging friendly matches between the nine schools like the usual Nine Schools Competition - this topic has been hyped among all of the Club Management Group leaders of each school. First High is taking the lead for the preparations.

Quite a good guy, thats pretty much Igarashi-kun.

The angle of the image on the monitor suddenly changed and displayed Honokas feet.

Next there was a panicking voice: uwa uwaa heard from the speakers, the monitor went blank and a melody for waiting on hold started playing.

Tatsuya and Miyuki looked at each other. For them it wasnt hard to imagine what happened. Very likely, Honoka bumped her head against the camera when bowing down. Miyukis room had a video phone with a monitor that had an integrated camera, but a common compact mobile video phone model had a separate, adjustable camera. [It could be assumed that Honoka had the latter of the two models .]

The video phone returned to the call state after about 10 seconds.

Im really sorry

The monitor displayed the stooping Honoka with a tear-stained face.

I have heard the story. Itll be difficult to finish until the end of the month.

Tatsuya thought that awkward attempts to comfort her would be counterproductive, so he immediately talked about the main issue.

If we had a longer timeline, it would be possible to gather private sponsors, but since theres only one month left before the Matches the most plausible optionis is having military cooperation.

Military cooperation? But how?

Honoka, whose attention was luckily distracted from her disgraceful behavior, asked with a tilted head. Judging by the expression on her face, they had seemingly reached the same conclusion as Tatsuya, but theyd failed to find a concrete plan to do it, and reached a deadlock.

We asked almost all of the alumni who joined the military, but they all refused due to the lack of time.

The graduates are required to be ready for dispatching as combat magicians. They may want to lend a helping hand to the current students, but have no free time.

Despite the fact that the New Soviet Unions invasion was repelled, the NSU only lost a fraction of its naval power. Compared to the Great Asian Union, which lost 30% of their entire fleet in one attack at the end of October 2095, it was really an insignificant amount. Now, when their alliance with the USNA is unstable, the Self-Defense Forces personnel looking after the border should stay in combat readiness for another NSU invasion.

Hmm, right The deceased His Excellency Kudou was always looking forward to the Nine Schools Competition every year. If you ask the militarys Public Relations Department to hold memorial Inter-School Matches in his memory, theyll probably at least help with preparing the venue.

I see! I think thats a very nice idea!

From the monitor, it seemed Honoka leaned forward suddenly No, she actually got her face closer to the camera.

Tatsuya was almost taken aback by her eyes filled with glittering light, but he maintained a poker face while adding this line:

Theres no other choice but to collect the accommodation and transportation expenses from donations - Ill ask FLT for some assistance.

I understand. Ill tell that to Igarashi-kun.

After nodding cheerfully, Honoka suddenly began fidgeting.

Uhm, Tatsuya-san. Actually, weve all planned to go to Shizukus villa the day after tomorrow. So, if it doesnt bother you, can we drop by there on the way?

No, it wont be a bother.

Miyuki broke into the conversation right after Tatsuya nodded in assent.
