Chapter 92: Nah... (I Recommend To Skip This Chapter)

In the lobby Arthur and Miyuki encounter Masaki and George who just come back from the training room, it was an interesting scene for the onlookers because of the duo ace from Third High defeat by Arthur in the previous event they participate in. And id there is nothing wrong they will meet again in the monoliths code.

"It seems you are in good condition" George is the one who talks while Masaki staring at Miyuki but the other side didn't give any response to him and just takes a step back as if taking cover behind Arthur's back.

"Do you still participate in the monoliths code event?" Seeing he didn't get any response Masaki retracted his gaze and ask Arthur

"You didn't need to worry, you can try to come at me for revenge"

"It's true we're losing to you in the individual event, but monoliths code is team battle. With your team condition and the possibility of other players who can act as a substitute, it was nearly impossible for you to win in this event"

"You didn't have information for all of the students from First High so it was still too early for you to make a conclusion" Arthur didn't bother to reveal who will be the substitute to George "Let's go, Miyuki"

Arthur and Miyuki walk away leaving Masaki and George in the lobby while the onlookers whispering to each other.

"They have good talent, but it was impossible for them to win with me and Tatsuya as an opponent" even if the scene of final in the original world is a bit to force, no matter what it was impossible for them to win if Tatsuya still standing.

"I have met with them this morning, they are quite a good boy"

"Oh, what they need from you?"

"No, what they want to meet is Onii-sama" Miyuki shakes her head and she has a smile on her face "They want to meet with a genius technician who won in all of the events he participates for"

"So that's the reason why you call them good boy"

There is a faint red color on her face, Miyuki didn't answer Arthur and quicken her pace and want to leave Arthur, even if she didn't feel embarrassed to act very close to her brother in front of everyone it was quite embarrassing if there is someone who can understand about her and say it aloud.

It was very unusual for her to act like this, but Miyuki feels it's fine to act like that in front of Arthur or Emilia. It was slightly different with how she will act if it was with Erika and the rest, maybe it was because the time the siblings spent with Arthur and Emilia is longer than the time they spent with others.

The next day

Today First High will have a match with Second High in the first round and Eight High in the second round before they can advance to the elimination round.

The appearance of First High is attracting a lot of attention because of the fact that First High's replacements were not registered players was the source of much confusion and gossip. Rather than selecting their substitutes from the top ten representatives of their cohort, they went with an injured Arthur, a member of the technician team as well as a newly recruited member.

When Arthur, Tatsuya, and Mikihiko walk to the arena it was arousing more curiosity for the audience.

"So you will choose to defend the monoliths?"

In the preparations room, they discuss what is their position for this match and Arthur chooses to be a defender, Mikihiko as support and Tatsuya as a vanguard. If Tatsuya can take care of it then Arthur will leave it to him and would rather stay defending the monoliths.

"The opponent is not that strong and I'm an injured person here, how can you let me be a vanguard? If I've become vanguard then you and Mikihiko is didn't need to be here"

"You just want to leave all of the troublesome things to me, right?"

"If others can do it, then let them do it. That's my motto, so because you can defeat them then I will leave it to you"

"You seems to believe in him very much, Arthur "

"You're with him when the school is invaded by the terrorist before, right? In combat, there is a very little amount of people who can beat him and for technical skills, I think you're satisfied with his work"

"Yes... it's very hard to believe he can modify my family's magic and improve it without changing the nature of my magic"

For Mikihiko who suffered an accident and known as a prodigy of the Yoshida family before that, after watching how Tatsuya works with his magic and getting advice from him Mikihiko has some confidence over himself that he lost because of the accident.

"There will be a time for you to shining, but for now let me take care of it"

There is a vanguard of Second High come near to their location but Unfortunately, he is spotted by Arthur. Raising his CAD in his right hand Arthur use weight type magic on the Second High player and make him unable to move after that Arthur uses another magic and sends the opponent flying and colliding with a tree and knocking him out.

"One out the remaining is two, do you want to help Tatsuya?"

"How can you spot him when he still quite far from us?"

"He didn't try to conceal himself so it was easy to spot him, oh it's over now"

As for the second match against the Eighth High Mikihiko become a center of attention because using his sense tuning he can type the code inside Eighth High monoliths from a faraway place after Tatsuya open the monoliths and for Arthur he once again just use weight type magic to knock out the vanguard of Eight High.

With these two victory First High advance to the elimination round along with Third High, Eight High and Nine High, even if the Eight High loses to the First High they still have larger points than the other school like Second High, Seventh High, and the other school.

➡️➡️➡️

The finals would take place after the compensatory round. Regardless of how long matches lasted, each match for Monolith Code never exceeded thirty minutes. Thus, the finals were comfortably set for 3:30 PM, which was two hours from now.

After defeating the Ninth High in the previous battle the First High is advance to the final along with Third High who is defeating the Eighth High after Masaki makes a solo performance.

Inside the First High headquarters the atmosphere quite tense because the performance of Masaki in the previous match put a lot of pressure on the First High top brass. From the previous match it was seen if Tatsuya and Mikihiko is very suitable for sneak attack but their advantage is lost because the arena where the final will be held is an open field, and even if Arthur didn't hinder by his injury the fact he just use weight type magic in all of the matches didn't make them feel better.

But the players themselves didn't feel much pressure and they have lunch together in the cafeteria.

"I will be the vanguard this time" Arthur take the initiative to talk about the formation for the final

"I thought you will be stay behind all the time" Tatsuya who know there is no way for Arthur hinder by his injury quite surprise for him to be a vanguard after he stays in behind all the time

"So you want to take them alone?" Mikihiko thinks it will be very comfortable if he and Tatsuya just watching the battle from behind.

"No, it was a team battle so Tatsuya will disperse their magic, Mikihiko you will have a fight with their support and I will take care Masaki"

"That quite plausible idea, I already prepare countermeasure for Cardinal George's invisible bullet for Mikihiko because I didn't feel there is a need for me and you to wear it"

"What you prepare for me Tatsuya?" Mikihiko ask suspiciously when he heard it was just for him

"You will know it when the time come" Tatsuya stand up and pick up his tray "I will go for calibrating our CAD"

"I will go to find Emilia, I think she will be with Miyuki, do you need to tell her something?" Arthur stand up too and following Tatsuya

"Just tell her where she can find me"

Arthur and Tatsuya walk away from the cafeteria leaving the dumbfounded Mikihiko who is staring at the two figures who is getting further away from him

"Didn't he say we are a team, then why both of them leave me alone here without asking me?"
