Chapter 3 - Academy in Turmoil! The Rise of the Dark Horse from the Magic Club

News of Yoruomi Sō's victory over Kazekiri Rin swept through Tōun Academy like a raging storm.

In this school where strength reigns supreme, the four major clubs have long reigned supreme, while the Magic Club has been reduced to a forgotten relic of the past. But today's duel has shattered all preconceived notions.

-The Magic Club... actually won... and not with brute force, but with 'magic'!

It wasn't just ordinary students who were shocked by this battle, even the upper echelons of the major clubs were alarmed.

Swordsmanship Club: Anger and Resentment "Kazekiri Rin... lost?"

The atmosphere in the training hall of the Swordsmanship Club was cold and oppressive.

A group of students in kendo uniforms sat around the sparring platform. In the centre stood a silver-haired youth, his sword resting quietly beside him, his sharp, cold gaze betraying a hint of intrigue.

This was Shirakawa - the vice-captain of the Swordsmanship Club, Rin's senior, and one of the true core figures of the club.

"I told him before - his sword is too simple. It works against brawlers, but against unconventional opponents, its openings are too obvious". Shirakawa spoke in a calm tone, but his eyes shone with a chilling light. "Still... for the Magic Club?"

A nearby member hesitated before suggesting, "Should we have the captain step in and crush this Yoruomi Sō completely?"

Shirakawa looked up, a slight smirk curling his lips. "No hurry. I'll test his strength myself."

Martial Arts Club: Battle Lust Ignited "Hahaha! This is exciting!"

With a thunderous boom, a burly youth slammed his fist into a wooden training post, shattering it into splinters.

This was Gōsenji Retsu - the top fighter of the Martial Arts Club, a battle maniac obsessed with hand-to-hand combat.

"That wizard actually defeated Kazekiri Rin? Hah, excellent! I was just getting bored without a new sparring partner!"

One of the members frowned. "But... he uses magic. That's not really fighting."

"Magic? Hah! As long as my fists are fast enough, what tricks could he possibly pull?" Gōsenji Retsu licked his lips, his eyes burning with dangerous excitement. "Go send a message - I challenge Yoruomi Sō!"

Archery Club & Javelin Club: Observation and Strategy In the archery club's training grounds, a golden-haired girl sat under a tree, calmly polishing her longbow. This was Hōdō Saya - one of the club's elite archers.

After hearing the report, she merely smiled faintly. "Winning against the Swordsmanship Club doesn't mean he can dodge my arrows."

"But, Hōdō-senpai, if he can really disrupt fights with magic..." Saya gently pulled back her bowstring. A golden arrow shot through the air, hitting the bull's-eye a hundred metres away with pinpoint accuracy.

"Illusion, trickery, whatever it is... my arrows will not be fooled." She spoke softly, her gaze deep. "Still... let us watch a little longer."

Meanwhile, in the strategy room of the Javelin Club, a group of tall, athletic individuals reviewed the footage of Yoruomi Sō's duel.

"Magic attacks are unusual. We need more data." Said a calm young man - the vice captain of the Javelin Club, Mikage Sōichi.

"If his abilities truly affect the battlefield, we must develop countermeasures."

"When will you challenge him?"

Mikage Sōichi smiled weakly. "There is no need to rush. He will come to us eventually."

Magic Club: A Long-Lost Hope Back in the Magic Club's training hall, the atmosphere was lively for the first time in ages.

Old members who had once given up returned, and even new students, inspired by Yoruomi Sō's battle, were eager to join.

"President! Does this mean that we can finally request better training resources?" "Yoruomi-senpai, can we really become stronger?"

Yoruomi Sō smiled and flicked his wrist. A playing card spun through the air in a mesmerising dance.

"Of course."

But he knew that the real challenge was just beginning.

His victory had drawn the attention of the entire Academy. The strongest warriors from the four great clubs were closing in on him.

When would the next battle take place? Who would be his next opponent?

Staring at the playing card in his hand, Yoruomi Sō's lips curved into a subtle smile.

-No matter who it is, I will show them the true power of magic!

学院震动!魔术部的黑马崛起

夜见苍战胜风切凌的消息,如同飓风般席卷整个东云学园.

在这座以实力为尊的校园中,四大社团各自称霸,魔术部早已沦为废弃角落.然而,今天的擂台战,彻底打破了所有人的认知.

——魔术部,居然赢了?

——而且,靠的不是蛮力,而是"魔术"?

这一战震惊的不只是普通学生,连各大社团的高层都被惊动.

剑术部:愤怒与不甘

"风切凌...输了?"

剑术部的训练场中,气氛冰冷压抑.

一群身穿剑道服的学生围坐在擂台边,中央站着一名白发少年,他的剑静静地插在身旁,眼神中透着几分锐利与冷酷.

他就是剑术部的副部长——白川,风切凌的师兄,也是剑术部真正的核心人物之一.

"我早就说过,他的剑太过直白,对付格斗部的家伙还行,但遇上奇怪的对手,破绽太多."白川语气平静,但目光却泛着寒光,"不过,魔术部...居然能做到这种程度?"

坐在一旁的剑术部成员低声道:"要不要让部长出手?彻底碾碎那个夜见苍..."

白川抬头看了他一眼,嘴角微微上扬:"不急.我会亲自试试他的斤两."

格斗部:战意沸腾

"哈哈哈!有意思!"

轰的一声,格斗部的训练馆内,一名壮硕的少年一拳砸在木桩上,木屑纷飞.

他正是格斗部的头号战将,豪战寺烈,一名狂热于拳脚战斗的怪物.

"那个魔术师,居然能赢风切凌?哈哈,太好了,我正愁没有新的练拳对象!"

旁边的格斗部成员皱眉道:"可是...他用的是魔术,不是实打实的战斗方式."

"哼,魔术?只要我的拳头够快,他能变出什么花样?"豪战寺烈舔了舔嘴唇,眼中闪烁着危险的光芒,"去帮我传个话——我要挑战夜见苍!"

弓箭部与标枪部:观望与分析

弓箭部的训练场内,一名金发少女坐在树下,悠然地擦拭着自己的长弓.她的名字叫凰堂纱夜,是弓箭部的精英射手.

听完手下的汇报后,她只是淡淡一笑:"能赢剑术部,不代表能躲得了我的箭."

"可是,凰堂前辈,如果他真的能用魔术干扰战斗..."

凰堂纱夜轻轻拉弓,一道金色箭矢瞬间破空而出,精准地穿透百米外的红心.

"幻术也好,障眼法也罢,我的箭,不会被欺骗."她轻声说道,目光深邃,"不过...还是先观察一下吧."

与此同时,标枪部的会议室中,一群身材高大的选手正在看夜见苍的比赛录像.

"魔术的攻击方式很特殊,我们需要收集更多信息."一名沉稳的少年说道,他是标枪部的副部长,御影宗一.

"如果他真的能影响战局,那就必须制定专门的应对策略."

"你打算什么时候挑战他?"

御影宗一微微一笑:"不用急,他会主动来找我们的."

魔术部:久违的希望

魔术部的训练馆内,此刻热闹非凡.

许多被欺压的旧成员纷纷回归,甚至有不少新生被夜见苍的战斗所吸引,想要加入魔术部.

"部长!我们是不是可以申请更多训练资源了?"

"夜见前辈,我们真的可以变强吗?"

面对众人的兴奋与期待,夜见苍笑了笑,抬手轻轻一甩,一张扑克牌在空中旋转飞舞.

"当然可以."

然而,他也清楚,真正的挑战才刚刚开始.

他的胜利,已经引起了整个学院的关注,而四大社团的强者们,正在暗中逼近.

下一场战斗,会是什么时候?对手,又会是谁?

夜见苍低头看着掌心的纸牌,嘴角微微上扬.

——无论是谁,我都会让他们见识到,魔术的真正力量!
