Shinonome Academy, Central Tactical Review Hall.
Thunderous footsteps echoed through the marbled corridors, as if a storm was approaching. Inside the hall, representatives from the five major societies and members of the Student Council's Provisional Governing Body sat around the circular table.
In the middle was a piece of paper, the handwriting still wet.
"Comprehensive Evaluation of the Magic Department's Combat Performance"
Level Recommendation: Strategic Level Experimental Society
Submitted by: Advisory Department, School Strategy Office, Observer No. S-09
There was a lot of discussion in the audience.
"What? A magic department that has only been established for a few days really wants to get a strategic-level certification? "
"This is an insult to our old community!"
"Besides, magic ... should not be relegated to the category of combat. "
With his hands in his pockets, Funk stood under the judge's bench without saying a word. Alfie looked thoughtfully down at her notes, while Rhine crossed her arms and looked blankly at the condescending looks around her.
As the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, a cold voice sounded:
"Silence."
In the middle, Ritsu Tatsumiya, the temporary acting president of the student union, dressed in a black trench coat and a silver hair scarf, slowly stood up. His gaze fell on Funk as if he were looking at an unresolved chess piece.
"After this tactical observation and evaluation, the magic department has indeed shown a number of excellent indicators, such as the adaptability of unconventional strategies, the ability to combine techniques on the spot, and the response of extreme suppression solutions."
"But..."
His tone stopped abruptly.
"Magic is not an established system of combat. Its existence is a heresy and an experiment. "
Funk was unhurried: "It is because you fear defeat that you need heretics to try the odds of victory that are not allowed. "
With this sentence, the scene suddenly fell silent.
Just when everyone's emotions were about to boil over, a cold female voice suddenly sounded from the side seat:
"Then give them a chance to 'correct their names in actual combat'."
The voice was spoken by a woman sitting in the delegates' seat of the Archery Department, dressed in a deep infrared cloak, with long hair tied up and eyes as sharp as cold stars.
Her name is Huangtang Yuli, the first tactical coordinator of the Archery Department and the direct heir of the Huangtang family.
"It is suggested that the Magic Department can obtain the 'Strategic Experimental Club Qualification', but it must defeat any of the official martial arts clubs in the school challenge within three months before it can be transferred to the official list."
Chen Gonglu was silent for a few breaths, and then slowly nodded: "Pass the resolution. Accepted. "
Final word.
The audience was shocked. The representative of the Swordplay Department suddenly stood up and stopped speaking, and the deputy of the Martial Arts Department cursed in a low voice, but Huangtang Yuli didn't seem to hear it, just glanced at Feng Ke with a complicated meaning in his eyes.
What she sees is the source of future turmoil.
In a few days, the Magic Department will have an exclusive classroom
The daylight shone through the worn curtains, reflecting the figures of the three of them.
Funk hung a blank piece of paper on the wall and wrote some big words: "Magic Department, Tactical Mission Board."
"We are no longer an underground group."
"As of today, we must have the fighting power to defeat a community."
"The goal is clear: defeat the Sword Club, the Fighting Club, or ... Others. Rhine leaned against the wall and nodded, "Just order, I don't want to waste my fists." Alfie pushed off her glasses and a rare smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Then let's begin, the second stage of the tactical experiment." In the corner of the wall was a set of worn targets and a pile of unsolved spell scrolls, casting a slightly wavering shadow as the sunlight shone down. Not far from the door, a familiar figure turned to leave. Standing at the end of the stairs, she glanced at them and then disappeared into the light. Character Quote: Funk "You block the future with rules. Then I'll use magic to break your rules. "
