--[Five-Society Joint Battle - The Night Before the Clash]
The atmosphere of Higashigumo Academy had completely changed.
The Archery Club's hawks circled in the sky, the Swordsmanship Club's training grounds flickered with the gleam of blades, the Martial Arts Club's shadows of fists clashed incessantly, and the Javelin Club's piercing sounds of javelins slicing through the air shook the earth...
Each club was making its final preparations for the coming war.
In the training room of the Magic Club, the air was tense and heavy.
Standing in front of a tactical map, Mitou Karuma swept his eyes over the assembled members. "We are not just facing individual clubs. This is a common battlefield."
Shiran grinned, arms crossed. "I'm quite curious - at the end of this 'hunting game', who will be the real hunter?"
Sitting in the corner, Yoruimi Sō tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his gaze calm and unwavering.
-In his eyes, this battle would determine the very survival of the Magic Club.
"We cannot afford to be passive," Yoruimi Sō spoke slowly. "We must strike before the battle even begins."
Mitou Karuma nodded. "That's why I've devised a two-pronged strategy."
He drew two intersecting lines on the tactical map.
"The first line will be led by Shiran - directly engaging the Archery Club to probe their latest tactical adjustments."
"The second line will be personally executed by Yoruimi Sō - seeking a breakthrough in the battlefield."
Shiran raised an eyebrow and grinned. "Throwing me right into the front line?"
"You specialise in illusionary techniques and mental interference - perfect for tearing open their defences," Mitou Karuma replied calmly.
Yoruimi Sō lifted his gaze slightly. "And me?"
"You will face Hōdō Saya." Mitou Karuma locked eyes with him. "She will be the focal point of the entire battlefield. If you can't break through it, the Magic Club has no chance of victory."
The air froze.
Yoruimi Sō's fingers paused for a moment.
"...Understood."
Archery club training grounds.
Hōdō Saya stood in the centre, her unwavering gaze fixed on the distant target.
She slowly drew her bow, her arrow shimmering with silver light - "Anti-Magic Field: Hunter Signet."
The arrow shot out, instantly dispersing into countless points of light in the air, weaving a huge hunting net!
Mikage Chigusa nodded slightly. "Your tactical adjustments are finished?"
Hōdō Saya lowered her bow and spoke softly, "Yoruimi Sō will come."
"I won't give him a single chance."
Mikage Chigusa's gaze turned subtle as she looked at her. "Don't you think... you're worrying a bit too much about him?"
Hōdō Saya flinched slightly, her fingertips tightening.
"It's just a tactical assessment."
"He's the target I need to hunt. Nothing more."
Javelin Club training grounds.
On the battle platform, Onimaru Setsura swept his cold gaze over the assembled members.
"The joint battle of the five societies is about to begin."
"There is only one goal - to completely destroy the Magic Club."
Kuroiwa Kyōjurō grinned wickedly. "Finally, we can make our move."
Onimaru Setsura scoffed and gripped his "Gokuretsu" tightly, arcs of lightning crackling along its surface.
"Yoruimi Sō..."
"I will show you the true meaning of the spear that shatters illusions."
Ding!
The school's public address system came to life, drawing the attention of every student.
"Attention, all students! The 12th Five Society Joint Battle is about to begin!"
"All participating members, report to the Dragon Fang Arena immediately!"
The battle horns had sounded!
五社联合战的号角
——[五社联合战 · 交锋前夜]
东云学园的气氛,彻底变了.
弓箭部的猎鹰在空中盘旋,剑术部的刀光在演武场闪烁,格斗部的拳影不断交错,标枪部的长枪破空之声震撼大地...
所有社团,都在为即将到来的战争做最后的准备.
魔术部的训练室内,气氛压抑而紧张.
御堂狩真站在战术图前,目光扫过在场的成员:"我们要面对的,不只是单独的社团,而是联合战局."
白蓝轻笑了一声,双手抱胸:"我倒是很好奇,这场'围猎游戏',最后谁才是猎人?"
夜见苍坐在角落,手指轻敲桌面,眼神沉静.
——在他眼里,这一战将决定魔术部未来的生死存亡.
"我们不能被动应战."夜见苍缓缓开口,"必须在战局展开之前,主动出击."
御堂狩真点头:"所以,我决定采取双线战术."
他在战术图上画了两道交叉线.
"第一线,由白蓝负责,正面对抗弓箭部,试探他们的最新战术调整."
"第二线,由夜见苍亲自执行,寻找战局突破口."
白蓝嘴角扬起:"直接让我打先锋?"
"你擅长障眼法与精神干扰,正好可以撕开他们的防御."御堂狩真语气平稳.
夜见苍抬头,目光微微一闪:"...那我呢?"
"你要面对凰堂纱夜."御堂狩真凝视着他,"她会成为整个战场的核心封锁点,如果你不能突破她,魔术部就毫无胜算."
空气,瞬间凝固.
夜见苍的手指微微一顿.
"...明白了."
弓箭部训练场.
凰堂纱夜站在中央,目光坚定地盯着远处的箭靶.
她缓缓拉弓,箭矢凝聚着银色的光辉——"破魔领域·猎杀封锁".
箭矢射出,瞬间在空中化作无数光点,构筑出一张巨大的狩猎之网!
御影千草微微点头:"你的战术调整已经完成了?"
凰堂纱夜收起弓箭,轻声道:"...夜见苍一定会来."
"我不会给他任何机会."
御影千草目光微妙地看着她,缓缓道:"你不觉得...你有点太在意他了吗?"
凰堂纱夜一愣,指尖微微收紧.
"...这只是战术判断."
"他是我必须猎杀的目标,仅此而已."
标枪部训练场.
鬼丸刹罗站在演武台上,目光冷漠地扫视着下方的成员.
"五社联合战即将开始."
"目标只有一个——彻底摧毁魔术部."
黑岩凶十郎咧嘴一笑:"终于可以动手了."
鬼丸刹罗冷哼一声,握紧手中的「獄裂」,雷光在枪身闪烁.
"夜见苍..."
"我会让你明白,破幻之枪的真正意义."
广播室的铃声响起,全校师生的目光,瞬间被吸引.
"——各位同学,第十二届[五社联合战]即将开始!"
"——所有参赛成员,即刻前往龙牙场集合!"
战斗的号角,正式吹响!
