Chapter 7

MAYUMI SAEGUSA

Mayumi was beginning to get a headache as she watched Mari glare at Inei-kun, who was smirking, basically advertising his own enjoyment as they gathered in the Student Council office to discuss the matter.

"He is lying. He used magic. Everyone saw it, some kind of mental interference magic or some other thing," Morisaki-kun said, leveling the accusation. She turned towards Inei-kun, who scoffed.

"Like I would need to use magic on you," he said as he turned towards her.

"I deny these accusations, and have presented a student as witness. As much as it may not seem that way, I need to get my beauty sleep in, so could you please wrap this up quickly," he requested as he yawned, pissing her friend Mari off more than she already was.

And she saw Shiba Miyuki's lips turn up as she slapped her head, shaking her head. And she would have done the same if not for her image as the school student council president.

"He has more witnesses, and we still have not gotten to the point. On how Shiba-kun could tell whether you cast any magic or not," Mari cut in.

"Because he can read activation sequences," Inei-kun's statement drew gasps from everyone in teh room as Mari scoffed.

"That's impossible, no on..."

"He can, Shiba..." Inei-kun cut in as he raised his hand, and she saw magic activate as a magic sequence appeared.

"Light-Type simple Interference magic, Magnificance," and she watched as, in the next moment, a hole was burnt in the wooden desk from the magic Inei-kun had cast.

And it was indeed magnificence, a light-type magic that was used to concentrate light at a single point. She watched as everyone in the room turned towards Shiba Tatsuya, the first-year boy who had gained a perfect score on the engineering section of the exam.

"And there you have it," Inei-kun said as he looked at Mari.

"He is lying. This is a setup. He is trying to undermine me...." and Inei-kun shook his head.

"I don't care about you enough to undermine you. Damn, I don't even remember your name," he said, and she saw Morisaki-kun get angry as he reached for his CAD.

"Morisaki-kun," she admonished the boy as she also turned towards Inei kun.

"Would you please stop antagonizing your classmate, Inei-kun," she said, and he shrugged.

"I will try," and she rolled her eyes as she turned towards Mari.

"Inei-kun is right, Miyuki cut in," as she stepped forward.

"He did not use any magic, and as my brother demonstrated, he can indeed read magical sequences. Inei-kun did not use any magic at all," she added and that was it, and Mari knew it as well.

"Then what was that if not magic?" Mari questioned.

"Why was Morisaki-kun on his knees?" she added as she glared at Inei-kun.

"Like this," and in an instant, his expression shifted from the lazy and weary boy to one of an ominous diety as the room became suffocating.

THUMP. THUMP.

It took all her self-control not to fall of the chair as Inei-kun stood there, his eyes glowing again.

"That would be enough, Yotsuba-san," and then the pressure vanished, and she was surprised as she saw Yotsuba-kun had walked up to Inei-kun and had placed his hand on his shoulder, and she felt that she could breathe again as the pressure vanished.
