Chapter 1819: Is there something that he can"t do?
In the maintenance room, Haru and Shizuku stayed together.
Shizuku was about to enter her first event which was Speed Shooting, but before the start of the event, she checked her rifle-shaped CAD that had been tuned by Haru, and her deadpan expression, couldn"t help but showed a surprised expression.
"What do you think of the CAD condition, Shizuku?" Haru asked.
"It"s flawless." Shizuku held her CAD, checked all of the entire, and said, "It is more comfortable than my own."
"That"s good, if you have something that you want to change, then just tell me," Haru said while looking at the rifle-shaped CAD that he had lent to Shizuku.
"Um." Shizuku nodded.
Haru then noticed Shizuku"s state was a bit wrong, and asked, "What"s wrong?"
"Um, Haru, can you form an official contract with me to perform my CAD maintenance?" Shizuku suddenly asked.
"......." Haru was stunned, then smiled. "My price isn"t cheap."
"How much?" Shizuku asked directly. She knew that Haru might not lack money, but she still asked him anyway.
"........" Haru looked at Shizuku who wanted to hire him as her private engineer, but he wasn"t that surprised, considering how rich this girl"s family was. She was so rich that even if all the net worth of the clans of the Ten Master Clans were combined, it might not be able to compare to her family, and if it was compared to his family, then it would be similar. He could make his family even richer, but he felt that it was enough so he didn"t add more wealth, considering he was only interested in the power of media and a bank.
Media and investment bank, it was two businesses that were developed by Haru for the Rokkaku clan in this world.
Haru might develop more in the future, but not now. He looked at Shizuku then patted her head and said, "Well, I can"t sign a contract with you, but I can help you to maintain your CAD from time to time, if I"m not busy, of course."
"Um." Shizuku nodded and she closed her eyes, showing bliss on her face.
Haru had to admit that Shizuku was cute, but then, it wasn"t the time to do this kind of thing. "Anyway, I"ve talked about your strategy. With the new magic, I"m sure that no one can defeat you in this event. So now, go out and get 1st place!"
"Yes!" Feeling the gentle pat on her back, Shizuku nodded without hesitation, showing a confident smile since she knew that she was going to win this tournament.
Sitting on the audience seat, everyone was watching Shizuku who stood at the podium curiously, waiting for the event to start since they wanted to know her performance in this event. They knew how that the one who handled her CAD maintenance was Haru, which was why they wanted to see how Haru was going to bring Shizuku to victory.
"I can"t wait to see how CAD he"s fine-tuned from scratch and how it will perform at the event," Mayumi said with some expectation.
"Starting with Ms. Kitayama, he seems to be getting high praise from the athletes. Apparently, some athletes even went to the trouble of bringing their own CADs with them today..." Suzune said.
"Hey, hey, isn"t that going to cause trouble?" Mari asked.
"Regarding that, it seems that everything is under control. Apparently, he"ll be servicing them after the matches are over," Suzune said with a sigh since Haru was so popular, right?
"Suzune, as his girlfriend, don"t you feel jealous?" Mayumi asked.
"It"s alright, even if there"s a lot of girls around him, isn"t that normal? I mean, considering his real ident.i.ty, but even so, all of them are just fans, and they"re not his girlfriend, so what"s the use of feeling jealous?" Suzune said calmly with a smile.
"......" Mayumi and Mari.
"Or do you want to be my sister, Mayumi?" Suzune asked with a smile.
"Wh - What are you talking about?!" Mayumi"s face was so red that it was as if there was smoke on her head.
"Still, we need to tell him about the change in the Board Battle," Suzune suddenly reminded them.
Mari felt a bit weird and asked, "Is that alright?"
"If we want to win, then we can only let him enter the compet.i.tion, since besides him, who can do it?" Suzune asked.
"........" Mayumi and Mari knew that there was no suitable person other than him and knew that it was simply impossible for anyone other than him to change the position of the athlete so suddenly.
While they were talking the event started and Shizuku showed her might while using the new magic that was developed by Haru.
The moment the clay was shot into the designated s.p.a.ce, it was shattered by Shizuku.
The magic that was used by Shizuku was a magic that was developed by Haru in the past, but it only showed its might on this event. The name of this magic was Active Air Mine.
Active Air Mine is magic that enables the user to tag all solids that enter the Magic Activation Zone with magic vibratory waves, destroying the targets. By generating compression waves inside the target, it undergoes repeated partial expansion and contraction. The rapid heating and cooling are repeated and hence, even solid rock weakens and collapses.
This magic sets numerous epicenters within the area where the targets are present, which generate virtual waves that give rise to vibratory waves within the targets. Instead of directly applying the waves to the targets with magic, the user sets up an area that causes the phenomena of applying such waves to the targets. The moment the waves from the epicenter come into contact with such a target, the virtual waves become real waves within the target and affect it in reality.
The Activation Sequence sets a cube within the target area which is 10 meters on each side, with the vertices and the center, nine points in total, being designated as epicenters.
If someone compared both Shizuku and Mayumi, then Mayumi would be like a skilled sniper who had never missed. On the other hand, Shizuku was like setting up an ambush trap.
They were very stunned when they saw the performance of Shizuku and knew that it was because of Haru, which made them even more dumbfounded at him, thinking that this guy was superman, right?
But Haru"s performance wasn"t over since on Shizuku"s next match, she came out while bringing a generalized CAD with the shape of a rifle.
There were two types of CAD which were specialized and general and if someone asked what was the difference then the specialized was like a dedicated gaming machine, and as for the general type, was like a personal PC.
The best thing about the specialized type of CAD was that there was an a.s.sistance system on it, and it could only use one type of magic, on the other hand, the general CAD didn"t have that and it could use a lot of different types of magic, but Shizuku"s CAD was different. Even though her CAD was a general type, there was still an a.s.sistance system that helped her to aim the clay, and she could also use two different types of magic which were Convergence and Oscillation type of magic, so even though she faced someone in this event, she defeated her opponent with a very huge difference in point, which made them even more dumbfounded.
Tatsuya had a complex expression on his face and somehow wondered how there was such an unfair existence in this world.
On the other hand, Shizuku was showing a sweet smile, thinking that her CAD was perfect.
As for Haru, he nodded and was satisfied with Shizuku"s result, but he didn"t realize that there was trouble that was about to come toward him.
