August 1st.
The departure date for the Nine Schools Competition finally arrived.
Otaru's Eighth High and Kumamoto's Ninth High would leave earlier due to their respective locations, whereas First High, conveniently located on the eastern outskirts of Tokyo, usually departed for the competition dormitories the day before the contest begins.
Rather than attaching any strategic importance to this, it was mainly because the remote schools had priority access to the training facilities.
The official competition arena was restricted until the day of the competition, so there was no real reason to arrive earlier
"That's how it is."
"Is that so......
At any rate, thank you for your simple explanation."
Tatsuya wanted to ask Mari, in a tone laden with sarcasm, if there was any reason she was telling him all this, but he patiently waited for her to finish her explanation and quickly shook his head to dispel this ridiculous impulse that wouldnt serve anyone.
The two of them were speaking beneath the blazing sun reigning in the middle of the blue sumr sky. Exactly why were they making themselves more heated on this hot and humid day? Even if you asked him, Tatsuya had no answer for that one.
This was not in his interest. "Sorry~!"
This exclamation was accompanied by the music of sandals lightly tapping on the pavent. Looking towards the sound's source, Mari let out a sigh and smiled beneath her parasol while Tatsuya, completely heedless of the sun beating down on him, wordlessly checked off the last mber of the roster on his terminal device.
One and a half hours late, everyone was finally here. "Mayumi, you're so slow."
"Sorry, sorry."
Both the reprimand and the apology were just as concise.
The two of them proceeded to embark onto the bus as if nothing had occurred.
At least, until Mayumi ca off the bus empty-handed. "......Did you forget sothing?"
Tatsuya asked, slightly concerned that his poker face was slipping.
Spare change of clothes, costics and other living supplies
Miyuki was obviously the one who taught him that costics were a must-have for overnight stays
have already been bundled into the storage compartnt, and the checklists mailed from each of the contestants' families have already been matched with the luggage, so nothing was missing.
Even if sothing was left behind, the dormitories had plenty of spares. This was at most a two hour bus trip, so there shouldn't be a need for much luggage.
"No, it's not that......
Tatsuya-kun, I apologize that you had to wait so long for ."
"Please don't concern yourself with that. Im well aware of your situation."
Mayumi wasn't tardy because of so preposterous reason like oversleeping or getting the ti wrong.
Three hours ago, she suddenly sent word that she would be late due to family business.
In her ssage, Mayumi asked for everyone to depart without her and that she would et them at the destination later. Still, the 3rd Year students unanimously agreed to wait for her, so they asked Mayumi to get here as soon as she could.
This wasn't because she was next in line for the Saegusa Family. She had two older brothers.
Even if she was a direct descendant from the Ten Master Clans, Mayumi was the little sister who was still in high school, so there were very few cases where she was responsible for handling family business. That being said, the very fact that the family recalled her the day of the school's official event clearly hinted that this was extrely important.
From Mayumi's perspective, if the other students set off on ti, she could get there at a more leisurely pace rather than hurrying along. However, since everyone
Tatsuya actually disagreed in private
was set on waiting for her, Mayumi was forced to pick up the pace.
Thus, Tatsuya was not going to call her out for being one or two hours late.
"Isn't it too hot?"
"It's still in the morning, so it's OK, and this temperature isn't bad at all."
Tatsuya was the only 1st Year student in the auxiliaries, so he was responsible for roll call.
There were 40 contestants, 4 strategic advisors, and 8 technicians.
Of the 12 people that were not contestants, only Tatsuya was a 1st Year student.
Of course, there were other auxiliary mbers besides these 12 people. Not counting the strategy and technician team, there were also 20 volunteers that perford all the busywork, but they already departed for the premises, so there wasn't even a faculty mber present. Only the drivers and the official participants were taking the bus and four cargo vehicles.
"But you're sweating like a horse......
Wait, what? You're not really sweating that much."
"No, I have at least enough magic to ward off the sweat...... but I'm not gross enough to not sweat at all during the sumr."
He was using magic to purify the sweat and releasing it through the skin and clothes.
Tatsuya's intrinsic magic "Dissolution
