"Yes, a seashell. It opens and closes, it looks just like one."
Mahiro even gestured the action with his hands.
But for some reason, Mayumi's face suddenly turned red.
Seeing that opening and closing motion, she seemed to realize something, her expression panicked, her eyes widened, she pressed her legs tightly together, pulled down her clothes, and involuntarily took a few steps back.
"True Seeker, h!" ? ? ?
Yotsuba Mahiro couldn't help but type out a few question marks.
No, I don't think I did anything, did I? Are you misunderstanding something?
He wanted to explain, but it was too late, because the loudspeaker had already started broadcasting.
Five minutes later, the "precision shooting" contestants will enter the arena.
So he handed the calibrated competition-grade long-spear CAD to Mayumi and asked:
"Mayumi-senpai, are you sure you don't want to try it out? I've slightly simplified the activation methods for the two magic spells, 'Multiple Observations' and 'Dry Hail Meteor,' making them activate much faster than before."
"I believe you, Shin-kun. And thank you~"
The ability to simplify the activation of the two spells that make up the Magic Bullet Shooter is something even the "Seventh Research Institute" struggles to achieve.
Despite the risk of failure, she still chose to trust Yotsuba Mahiro.
"There's no need to be so polite. After all, I'm your personal technician, and this is what I should do."
"Hmph, if Mori heard that, she would be very sad."
"It's okay. As compensation, I've already prepared a gift for Watanabe-senpai, so you won't be angry."
"Gift?"
Hearing his words, Mayumi tilted her head curiously.
"Yes, it's a passive protective activation type. Once an accident occurs, the protective magic will automatically activate."
"Eh~ I didn't expect Masahiro to be so nice to Mori~" Mayumi's tone was a mix of teasing and envy.
"Don't worry, I've also prepared a gift for you, Mayumi-senpai. It should be ready to use around the time of the finals."
"Really? I'm really looking forward to it!"
"Okay, don't worry. So, senior, you'd better let me experience the charm of the 'Fairy Sniper'!"
He heard this nickname from Miyuki.
It is said that Mayumi earned this title when she was a first-year student and participated in "Rapid Fire" for the first time.
However, Mayumi herself doesn't seem to like it.
She puffed out her cheeks like a pufferfish, glared at him angrily, and said, word by word:
"Don't you dare call me that!"
Chapter 44 The Fairy's Last Dance
The nickname "Fairy Sniper" is everyone's affectionate way of referring to Mayumi.
However, it seems that some people are using Mayumi's outstanding appearance and nickname to create some doujinshi (fan-made comics).
This is why Mayumi felt extremely ashamed and resistant to this title.
I absolutely do not want anyone to call me that...
The preliminary rounds of "Rapid Fire" are about to begin.
But when Mayumi appeared, she instantly ignited the atmosphere of the entire venue, pushing the excitement to its peak!
A deafening cheer erupted like a tidal wave.
The outrageous popularity has already made some of the contestants who are going up against Mayumi back down.
That's normal.
After all, Mayumi's charm is truly stunning.
Mayumi wore protective ear protectors on her voluminous, wavy long hair, along with transparent goggles. Her team uniform consisted of stretchy trousers and a high-necked top that could be mistaken for a mini jumpsuit.
Equipped with a rifle-type calculation device used in precision shooting, it perfectly blends cuteness and heroism, making her look like a heroine from a near-future movie.
Not to mention the elegant and composed demeanor when using the "Magic Shooter".
She is simply the absolute goddess in the hearts of all male magicians!
Otherwise, how could the title "Fairy Sniper" have come about?
Mayumi decisively won this match.
It's even faster than in previous years.
Even though her opponent had only knocked out twenty discs, Mayumi had already destroyed one hundred targets.
This speed was astonishing, even Mayumi herself found it unbelievable. She had increased the speed of her Magic Bullet Shooter by at least ten percent!
The burden it causes is also much less than before.
And the other side.
The popularity of the "Surfing Speed Race" is also very high, not at all inferior to that of the "Rapid Shooting" race.
A group of girls dressed in shark-themed swimsuits were seen floating on surfboards in the waterway.
"Surfing race" is a speed race in which participants run along an artificial waterway using a spindle-shaped board that is 165 cm long and 51 cm wide.
The top speed exceeds thirty knots—approximately fifty-five to sixty kilometers per hour.
The contestants stand on a single platform without any windproof equipment and must navigate a treacherous, rollercoaster-like water track. While they cannot use magic on people, they can use magic to influence the water's surface.
This kind of extreme racing competition, which focuses on combat and speed, will be loved by people in any era.
Meanwhile, on the waterway, the contestants from each school were ready.
They were all kneeling on one or both knees in preparation for the sprint, except for Morley, who stood upright.
This scene primarily reflects the difference in the contestants' sense of balance, but viewed from another perspective, she resembles a queen who commands the other contestants to submit.
Many female fans in the audience were also shouting the same thing: "Queen of Surfing Racing!"
Mayumi and I each took a seat among the younger students in the audience.
However, the queen was now responding somewhat absentmindedly to the cheers that supported her.
He stared into thought as he looked at the CAD on his wrist.
"Is this really necessary?"
After obtaining the CAD and learning that it had been fitted with protective magic, Mori immediately sought out Makoto.
As is well known, adding other spells to a speedrun CAD may slow down the activation of other spells.
Therefore, it usually only contains a few spells needed for the competition.
"Don't worry, Watanabe-senpai, I know you're worried."
The passive protective spell added to you will not affect the activation speed of any spells; it's just a safety measure.
I know Watanabe-senpai's magical power is enough to dominate the "surfing race," but it's never a bad thing to be careful.
In particular, terrorists have also set their sights on the First Affiliated Hospital of Peking University.
However, Mahiro did not say this to her seniors, so Mori was unaware of it.
She glanced at the CAD on her wrist and muttered to herself:
"Isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill?"
She has participated in surfing competitions for the third year and has never had an accident.
But since it was a kind gesture from her junior, she ultimately chose to accept it silently.
And just as Morley was confident, this preliminary round proceeded without any surprises.
Even when competitors from other schools created spectacular waves on the waterway, they couldn't stop her gliding speed.
Like a ruler of the ocean waves, she won first place in the preliminaries with an absolute advantage, to the point that her opponents could no longer appear on the same screen as her in the broadcast.
"Congratulations, Watanabe-senpai, you've won first place in the competition!"
Morley shook his head modestly: "It's nothing, this is just the preliminary round. The final the day after tomorrow is the key."
Winning first place in the preliminary round was entirely expected; the more important thing is the subsequent competition.
"By the way, I heard you prepared a big surprise for Mayumi, is that true?"
"of course it's true."
While sitting in front of the screen, Mahiro skillfully adjusted the CAD settings and said with a mysterious smile, "I can't tell you the specifics, but I can say that this is definitely a match that will shock everyone."
"Wow, you're being so mysterious. But since you put it that way, I'll look forward to it a little."
Upon hearing this, Morley crossed his arms, looking quite interested.
For both her and Mayumi, this was their last time participating in the Nine Schools Tournament. If they could create unforgettable memories, that would naturally be a good thing.
Mahiro didn't say anything more, just kept smiling.
After all, this is the "Fairy Sniper's" final dance, so how could it not have a grand and magnificent exit ceremony?
It's time for the last match of the afternoon.
Under the blazing sun, scorching heat slowly rose from the ground, the absurdly high temperature enough to distort the air.
But the number of audience members was even greater than in the morning!
Everyone was there to witness the "Fairy Sniper's" final dance.
Soon, Mayumi, the main character, entered the venue, dressed in the same outfit as in the morning, and exuding the same spirited demeanor as always.
But for some reason, her expression was very serious, unlike her previous relaxed demeanor.
"What's wrong with Mayumi?" Mori, sitting in the audience, muttered in confusion.
Although it is the final, Mayumi shouldn't be making that kind of expression.
Not only her, but several other senior students sitting in the audience also had the same question.
The sense of solemnity was amplified, especially when setting up the CAD software.
A silent tension gradually filled the air, even affecting her rivals who were vying for the championship title!
"The match is about to begin."
Someone said this, and the audience fell completely silent.
Three signal lights of different colors slowly lit up, and when the last red light appeared, countless targets instantly flew into the sky with a light launch sound.
The moment Mayumi pulled the trigger in the next second completely shocked everyone.
"Th-that's—!!!"
Chapter 45: The Advanced "Magic Bullet Shooter"
"Th-that's—!!!"
Upon seeing Mayumi's magic, Mori let out a gasp that echoed through the audience.
As Mayumi's close friend, he has an extraordinary understanding of the Magic Bullet Shooter.
However, the magic that Mayumi is using now.
Rather than calling him a magic bullet shooter, it's more accurate to say...
That's a completely new type of magic after the advancement!
The number of dry ice bullets fired has increased from one to two!
Then four more followed.
Eight...
Twelve!
