Azusa and Suzune set Hanzo against the wall as Tatsuya walked back toward his CAD case. Behind him, Mari was quietly paying Kurisu and Mayumi. Mari then turned to face Tatsuya.
"Hold up." Mari said.
"Hm?"
"That move you just made...Did you deploy a self-acceleration spell in advance?"
Everyone looked at Tatsuya.
"That wasn't magic." He replied. "It was a bona fide physical technique."
"Flash Step, at least that's what I like to call it." Jonasan said.
Everyone looked at Jonasan as he disappeared.
"Over here guys!" Jonasan said from the other side of the room.
They turned to look and saw that Jonasan was leaned up against the wall on the opposite side of the room. He disappeared again and reappeared where he was initially.
"My brother practices ninjutsu." Miyuki said catching everyone's attention.
She lightly smiled. "He's undergoing training by Yakumo Kokonoe."
"That Kokonoe...?" Mari asked in shock.
"Who was your teacher?" Mayumi asked Jonasan.
"Kurisu can do that too by the way, and our teacher prefers her name not to be said." Jonasan replied.
"Her?" Miyuki thought.
"Tatsuya, then was the spell you used in that attack also ninjutsu?" Mayumi asked. "It only looked to me as if you'd released Psion waves..."
"That's correct. That was an Essential Singularity-type Spell, and all I did was generate Psion waves." Tatsuya said.
"Even so, that doesn't explain why Hanzo got knocked out."
"He was wasted." Tatsuya said.
"Wasted? On what, exactly?"
"Ah. You used one of the principles of magic." Jonasan said.
"Explain." Mari said.
"As magicians, we perceive Psions the same as we do visible light and sound waves. Thus, when a magician is exposed to unexpected Psions, he or she hallucinates that his or her body is being shaken. This causes the magician to experience something akin to a violent bout of seasickness." Jonasan said.
"Such a powerful surge as that...how on earth did you...?" Mayumi said looking at Tatsuya confused.
"Compound waves, right?" Suzune asked. "You created three consecutive Psion waves of varying oscillation frequencies, calibrated them so that all three would converge where Hattori was standing, then generated a powerful surge, like a triangular wave."
"Very impressive, Ms. Ichihara." Tatsuya said.
Suzune looked at her tablet which was displaying the information from the battle.
"Still, how were you able to pull that off in such a short time? With that kind of processing speed, I don't see how your technical scores could be so low."
As Tatsuya scrambled to come up with an answer, Azusa came up with one for him, unintentionally of course.
"Excuse me..." Azusa said while looking at Tatsuya's Silver Horn with a blush. "By any chance, Tatsuya, is your CAD a Silver Horn?"
"Silver Horn? As in Taurus Silver, the mysterious genius magic engineer?" Mayumi asked.
"Mysterious my ass, he's standing right in front of you." Kurisu thought.
