look?"
"Sure, I'll take a look later."
Tatsuya stopped typing and accepted a small booklet from Mari.
"Huh, a hard copy. How strange."
"Anything related to the Nine Schools Competition wouldn't be surprising. Virtual terminals would hurt the Magic Power's conceptual foundation. On the other hand, besides Magicians, there are very few people that actually use substantial terminal devices, and the number of Magicians using virtual terminals has also increased."
"I see, so that's why the Nine Schools Competition uses hard copies instead of terminal devices."
"Eh? So Tatsuya-kun prefers the usage of virtual terminals?"
She probably heard the critical elements in Tatsuya's undertone.
With Mari's normally brash manner and her amusing tendency to be "poor at organizing", it was easy to forget that she was a very perceptive individual.
Tatsuya took this under consideration and selected his words — without stopping his typing motions — more prudently.
"There is some basis that virtual terminals negatively impact Magicians that have not reached maturity. Especially for students under twenty that are still developing their power, I think they should avoid using virtual models. But for adult Magicians whose Magic Power has been fully developed, I don't feel that there's any reason to stop them from using virtual models."
". . . . . . That's another way to look at it. Forcing adults to abandon the efficiency gained from virtual models simply because it poses harm to children seems a little overkill."
There was a brief lull in the conversation. Tatsuya was busy reviewing the information he inputted on the screen, so he had no way of discerning Mari's current expression, but he guessed that she would be considering his earlier comment.
No matter how ridiculously she usually acted, there was no way for her to disguise her inner sense of righteousness.
For some reason, that fact caused Tatsuya to smile a bit.
". . . . . . We've drifted off topic."
Mari seemed to have arrived at some conclusion of her own before she turned the conversation back to the Nine Schools Competition without any forewarning.
"The competition is separated into the Official and Newcomer Divisions, each requiring 10 men and women, for a grand total of 40. Only 1st Year students may participate in the Newcomer Division while the Official Division has no restrictions. That being said, each contestant may perform only in two contests, so no 1st Year student has ever competed in the Official Division. Even if it wasn't in the rules, there's no way for 1st Year students to stand up against the firepower of a 2nd or 3rd Year student.
Until last year, the Newcomers Division was not separated by gender, but from this year onward, both the Official and Newcomers Division will be. Also until last year, no 1st Year female student had to compete in multiple contests, but that may be unavoidable this year."
Mari's words were out of concern for Miyuki, which was obvious without naming her aloud.
Continuously participating in magic competitions was extremely taxing on the female body. Even though Miyuki had undergone training beyond that of a normal person, her physical stature was by nature more feeble. It would probably be best that he provided as much aid as he could, Tatsuya thought.
"Of the six contests, four are not gender specific. 'Monolith Code' is men only and 'Mirage Bat' is women only. . . . . . Since 'Monolith Code' is the only event where live combat is guaranteed, it's not surprising that the event is men only."
Mari might have been saying this, but her facial expression clearly didn't agree.
According to the information Tatsuya gathered from the Public Moral Committee, Mari's magic specialized in anti-personnel combat, so she must have resented being excluded from this particular event.
"The maximum number of participants per contest is three from each school, with men and women calculated separately. So including the Official and Newcomers
