“This map is an internal document for you guys, isn’t it? Are you sure it’s okay to just give it to us?” Yuriko asked.
“It’s fine. This is just some peripheral information. It won’t affect us much.”
“Then thank you very much. I owe you one for this. If you ever run into trouble, you can come to me for help.”
Yuriko didn’t have anything else to offer, so she could only promise a favor for now.
“As long as I can help you, Senior. A favor? You’re making it sound way too serious.”
After a few more pleasantries, Carmilla finished checking the News Club’s situation.
“We still have other clubs to inspect. Keep up the good work~”
Yuriko led Carmilla to the Splendid Clothing Club and the Plain Clothes Club.
When the Splendid Clothing Club President saw Yuriko and Carmilla coming over, she thought they wanted to be models again.
“Senior Ruri, what brings you here? Are you here to be the star of our next activity?” the Splendid Clothing Club President asked.
“Not at all. We’re members of the Student Council now. We came to inspect club activities.”
Yuriko pointed to her shoulder badge.
“Oh, I see. Then let me give you a tour of our department.”
“No need. Just do your normal activities. Mira and I will look around on our own.”
The Splendid Clothing Club and the Plain Clothes Club were very cooperative, and it looked like they were genuinely engaged in their club activities.
That was obvious from their professional level—if they didn’t study design and weaving earnestly, how could they produce clothes that made it onto fashion magazines?
After inspecting those two clubs, they moved on to clubs Yuriko had never visited before.
The more conventional ones included the Soccer Club, Basketball Club, and Literature Club.
After inspecting several clubs in a row, Yuriko found that most clubs were seriously carrying out their activities.
There were also some clubs with ambiguous natures, so their activities were a bit vague.
But a single inspection couldn’t determine anything; further observation would be needed to confirm.
“Next up… the Magic Ball Club. That’s a rare sport.”
Magic Ball, as the name suggests, is a ball game mixed with magic.
The rules aren’t complicated, but because it requires players to have a certain level of magical ability, it’s always been a niche sport.
However, at Shengxiu Academy, which is full of geniuses, students skilled in magic are a dime a dozen.
“Have you watched a Magic Ball match before, Mira?” Yuriko asked.
Carmilla hesitated for a moment, then said, “I haven’t watched a competition like that, but I did observe the Magic Ball Club’s activities last year.”
Yuriko had also learned some of the rules of Magic Ball.
It was similar to basketball or soccer—players needed to move and dribble on the field.
But the dribbling method was different.
They had to use a special staff to control the ball telekinetically, using a designated Levitation Magic for movement.
As for other differences, this sport was more dangerous than other competitive sports.
The Magic Ball, propelled by magical energy, had extremely high acceleration.
Plus, the ball itself was made of magic-conductive metal.
Even with buffer material wrapped around it, it could still cause terrifying injuries.
That’s why the accident rate for this sport was exceptionally high.
A physician or a healer mage often had to be stationed on the field.
“I’ve never seen one either. This is a good chance to watch.”
Following the map from the News Club President, Yuriko and Carmilla arrived at the Magic Ball Club’s field.
As soon as they approached the field, the Magic Ball Club members noticed the two newcomers.
The players in the middle of the match only gave a quick glance before continuing their game.
But the members who were resting fixed their eyes on the two.
Two of the academy’s popular beautiful girls appeared on the field, making the club members unable to look away.
One particularly tall member walked toward them.
“Hello, you two. I’m the Magic Ball Club President. You’re here to inspect our club activities, right?”
This club president was probably about 1.9 meters tall, a full head taller than Yuriko and Carmilla.
He was built like a bear, looking like a small mountain up close.
“Yes, we’re here for a routine inspection.”
After confirming their purpose, the Magic Ball Club President immediately shouted to the players on the field:
“Everyone, get serious! We’ve got an audience! Show them what you’ve got!”
The members on the field paused their game upon hearing the president’s shout and looked toward him.
This time, they clearly saw the two girls beside the president and quickly recognized them.
“Isn’t that Senior Carmilla from fifth grade? Why is she here all of a sudden?”
“The one next to her is that Senior Ruri who’s been making a lot of noise lately. She really is as pretty as in the photos.”
“Who do you think they came to see?”
“Are you stupid? Can’t you see the badges on their shoulders? They’re from the Student Council. They’re here to inspect, obviously.”
The players talked among themselves, but only for a few sentences before they went back to their game.
Yuriko and Carmilla sat down in the spectator stands.
Carmilla began observing the field and recording on her form, while Yuriko watched and chatted with the Magic Ball Club President.
The conversation mostly revolved around Magic Ball.
Besides that, Yuriko asked about the president’s recent plans.
This was part of the inspection routine.
The club president cooperated fully, even acting as a referee and reminding players not to make mistakes.
Yuriko noticed the players on the field getting more and more intense.
The Magic Ball was fiercely contested among several players.
After using Levitation Magic, the players moved very quickly, and when fighting for the ball, they often caused it to shoot off wildly.
The visual impact was strong.
Because pretty senior girls were watching, the players performed with much more enthusiasm than usual.
None of them wanted to embarrass themselves in front of beautiful girls—it was all about competitiveness.
“I’m winning this time! Watch my Spiral Shot!”
One player who had the Magic Ball reached the goal, raised his staff to channel power, and was about to shoot.
“Give it here!”
Another player charged in from the side, swung his staff forcefully, and released a large amount of magic to disrupt the shooter.
When the opponent lost control of the ball, he successfully snatched it away.
This player then evaded the pursuit of several others, broke through multiple defenses, and reached the opposing team’s goal.
“Not bad. His explosive power is clearly stronger than the others, and his precision with Levitation Magic is high,” Yuriko commented.
The game looked interesting.
Yuriko almost wanted to go on the field and try it herself.
But with her magical talent, these players probably wouldn’t even be able to catch a whiff of her exhaust.
