Chapter 91: Accident(Summary)

It was the seventh day of the Nine Schools Competition and the fourth day of the Newcomers Division. Today was the preliminaries of the Newcomers Division Monolith Code event, which was widely regarded as the most important event within the Nine Schools Competition.

Today Arthur and his teammates will have a match with the Fourth High School but something unexpected happens in the match.

The match between First High and Fourth High is held in the abandoned urban area and because of that, the position of monoliths code will be inside one of many buildings in there.

The accident happened after the Fourth High use battering ram magic and accidentally hit the pipeline containing flammable gas, the explosion makes the building where Arthur and his other teammates stayed turn to rubble and buried them under it.

The reason Arthur and his teammates didn't move from their place after the match starts because his other teammates didn't want to stay and protecting the monoliths, they want to prove themselves if they are also players and not just an extra to make up the number.

And because of that, they didn't have enough time to evacuate when the explosion is happening, when the observers come to rescue Arthur and his teammates they send to the hospital as fast as possible.

Arthur's condition is better than his other teammates who need to stay in the hospital for a week and receive further treatment. And for Arthur, after the doctor gives him full-body check Arthur can leave the hospital because he just has light external wounds and his left hand is fracture and already get treatment use healing magic.

When he comes back to the hotel and console Emilia there is Mayumi who comes searching for him.

Arthur was invited to the meeting room where there is Juumonji, Mayumi, Mari, Suzune, Azusa, and Hattori in the room waiting for him.

"Sorry to make you coming here when you need to rest, Arthur" Mayumi is the one who invites him here so it was her who speaks first and greet him

"How is your condition?"

"I'm fine, I can move my left hand quite well, thank you for your concern Mari-senpai"

"It's good if you're fine" Mari have a sigh of relief after getting confirmation from Arthur if he is in a quite good condition

"Thanks for your concern, I can still participate but I want to be the one who decides my new teammates"

"It's not time to play around, Arthur" Hattori feel Arthur already crossed his line if he wants to be the one who decides new players for monoliths code

"The reason is?" But Juumonji didn't reject Arthur right away and ask the reason behind it

"It was slightly embarrassing, but the reason for me can't react fast enough when the accident is happening because I was in the middle of argument with the two big head who think they're better than me and they also want to make everyone recognize their talent so they want to be vanguard rather than defending the monoliths" it was very embarrassing, in fact, Arthur can choose to back down and let them do what they want, but if the two of them is defeat by the enemy and he is alone Arthur will be in a quite hard position because there are many limitations in this tournament.

'The fact that I forget there will be an accident in the first match is also my mistake'

After hearing what Arthur say Juumonji closes his eyes and silent for a moment before he agrees to Arthur condition "Understanding between teammates is very important on the monoliths code"

"So, who will you choose as your teammates?" Mayumi curious with Arthur choice because she knew he didn't get along well with many people

"1E Shiba Tatsuya and 1E Yoshida Mikihiko" Arthur choose the two of them because they are the best candidates, not just because they are the true team in the original world but Mikihiko ability is better than some course one student and suitable for monoliths code especially his sense tuning, as for Tatsuya it was didn't need to be explained.

As for Leo, other than his physical strength his other ability is undeveloped and if he tries to remember, Arthur, feel the opponent is very weak when they're fighting against Leo, it's like they're just a passerby who picks up randomly and put there as Leo's opponent to make him have an appearance in the series.

"As I said stop play around Arthur! It was acceptable if you want to choose your own teammates but now you pick course two students as a replacement?" Hattori is the one with the biggest reaction, no matter what he still has some prejudice and elitism inside his heart over the course two students

"One of them is defeated you in the mock battle without giving you any chance to retaliate, Tatsuya and me is study under the same teacher and in some aspects he is better than me" Arthur's comment make Hattori shut his mouth and make everyone remember the fight that happened in the day Tatsuya recruited to the Public Moral Committee.

"You also didn't need to worry about Mikihiko because it was not because of his talent he ends up in course two but it was because of his mentality"

"It's enough, Hattori. Are you confident?" Juumonji stopping Hattori who want to deny Arthur's statement

"There are no more people who are very suitable in my mind"

"Then Nakajou, please search the two of them. You can find Shiba first and ask him to call for Yoshida and explain to them about this"

➡️➡️➡️

In the room for maintenance of CAD, there is Arthur, Tatsuya, Emilia, Mikihiko, and Azusa

"Are you serious about this, Arthur?"

That's two different reactions that Arthur get after Azusa explain everything to Tatsuya and Mikihiko

"You need to help me, there is no one who is better than you two"

"So, you're not joking?"

"There is no way for Nakajou-senpai coming here just to fooling you, Mikihiko. If you didn't believe in me you can find Mayumi-senpai and Juumonji-senpai and ask it yourself to both of them"

"No, I believe in you now"

"There is a lot of people, you didn't need to choose me" Tatsuya feel it was very troublesome if he needs to participate in the tournament not just as technically but also as the player

"Miyuki, you know it too right, if now there is a lot of people who recognize Tatsuya's ability as an engineer but there is still a lot of people who underestimating his battle power right?" Arthur didn't answer Tatsuya but he changes his target to Miyuki "This is the best chance to prove his ability to everyone and after they knew his greatness then there will be no one who dares to belittle him again right?"

The best way to make the siscon agree to participate in the tournament is to incite the brocon and make her understand it will be very beneficial if Tatsuya participating.

"Arthur you..." Tatsuya understand why Arthur choose to speak to Miyuki rather than answer his questions, it was because Arthur knew him very well if he won't reject to participate if it was Miyuki's wish

"Onii-sama..."

"... alright I will be participating" when he looked at Miyuki who is full of expectations for him, Tatsuya can't make her disappointed in him so he agrees to participate reluctantly

"I know you will agree to participate, Tatsuya" Arthur grins when he sees Tatsuya annoyed face "With this we can leave CAD maintenance to Tatsuya and Nakajou-senpai, Tatsuya you need to take care Mikihiko too, I will going now, see you tomorrow"

"And you leave me with all of this mess?"

"I'm a victim of an accident here, see?" Arthur raise his bandaged hand to Tatsuya and didn't forget to smile at his busy schedule after this "Oh it was late already, do you need me to escort Miyuki to her room?"

"Haah... Miyuki, you need back to your room and take a rest"

"I understand, don't overwork yourself Onii-sama"

Miyuki and Arthur leave the room and walk together to the hotel directly.

"You also want him to recognize as a magician rather than as an engineer right?"

"That's also true" Miyuki didn't deny that for her what is the most important is her brother's happiness but she also didn't want him being underestimated every time people inquired about his magical ability "Speaking of which, are you really fine, Arthur?"

"I'm fine, I can't use my left hand for the time being but it won't affecting me too much"

"Emilia very worried when she looks at the accident happened from the screen, it's good if there is nothing bad happened to you"

Arthur smile when he remembering her worried face, it feels very good if there is someone who cares for your well being. They talk about several things, it was very rare for the two of them have time for conversations without any other people with them.

But when they arrived at the hotel's lobby Arthur and Miyuki meet with an unexpected person.
