Sis-Con with Dimensional Chat Group

After their conversation, Erika stayed in the van of the engineering team since she had nothing to do and she also asked both Haru and Kei about the CAD. Her baton CAD was bought from Kei's family and the metal bat CAD was given by Haru, her talent with magic was limited so what she needed to do was to train harder on swordsmanship and to get a better weapon. Frankly, she loved Haru's thick and long weapon so much, but she was wondering whether there was something even better, especially with the shape of katana, if possible.

"Well, it should be possible, but the process is more complicated since I need to create the katana from zero, and you know... it is very expensive," Haru said. Without a doubt, he could create that katana-shaped CAD, but he had said before, it was very expensive since he needed special metal if Erika wanted to be the best weapon. "Money is one thing, what is important is the material since you need special metal to create this CAD. Even though the magic might be able to create a sword without a sword, but with a sword, there is various magic that can be applied on it."

"Such as?" Kei asked curiously. He didn't mind Erika staying in the van, since he and Erika's family had a long-term business partner so the relationship between them was quite amicable.

"Hmm..." Haru rubbed his chin and said, "Maybe, the blade that can scatter like sakura leaves, then those leaves might according to the user's thought and attack the enemy with sakura leaves shaped blade without mercy. Of course, the blade is so sharp that just one touch from it is enough to create a lethal wound on the target. Or you can use a combination of your family's magic, so use half of the blade to create a blade with a half blade with magic, and the other half of the blade, you can scatter them into a sakura-shaped blade use them for an attack. It is like a combination of both close and long-range magic together, what do you think?"

"........." Erika was dumbfounded and could imagine how dangerous that weapon would be, but the more she thought about it, the more excited and satisfied she was with that weapon.

"That magic, why does it seem to be quite familiar?" Kei asked since he felt that the magic that was said by Haru seemed to be quite familiar.

"You're not wrong, it is magic from the Shippou Family," Haru said.

"Shippou family?" 2x

Kei and Erika were surprised since the Shippou Family was one of the 18 Assistant Houses. This family was like Haru's Rokkaku family.

"They have magic, which is known as Herd Control. Here, the term herd does not refer to a group of biological organisms but instead refers to a group that was connected together without any rules. Multiple independent objects, or even phenomena, were manipulated together as if they were one body. Like Juumonji-senpai's magic exclusive which is known as "Phalanx", the Shippou family also has their own exclusive magic," Haru said.

"What kind of magic is that?" Erika asked.

"Million Edge." Haru looked at Kei and said, "Probably, Kei-senpai knows this magic."

"Kei-senpai?" Erika looked at Kei, waiting for him to explain.

"Well, as Haru has said before, "The Million Edge" is the exclusive magic of the Shippou Family's signature magic and doesn't involve the use of CADs. It focuses on manipulating multiple objects (Herd Control); magic that is easier to use for them compared to other magical families. This magic doesn't require CAD, but it uses the paper of a Grimoire. Our family is the one who inscribes the paper, so we know about this magic."

"Paper? What's the effect? Is the magic powerful?" Erika asked in doubt since she had never seen "The Million Edge".

"Hmm... I'm not that sure since I'm not the one who has inscribed that paper. But, Haru, do you know?" Kei asked.

Haru nodded and said, "I have seen it before, and it is very amazing magic. How amazing is it? Let me explain it to you, Shippou's Grimoire is an approximately B5-sized book with 720 pages or 360 sheets. A page is 182mm wide and 256mm long. Upon activation (Shippou flipping through every single page), the book is disassembled and each B5 page gets split into 4mm by 4mm squares. One leaf = 2880 4x4 paper blades, x 360 leaves = 1,036,800 blades."

"1,036,800 blades?!" 2x

Kei and Erika were dumbfounded.

Haru nodded and said, "If not countered, the paper blades launched towards the desired target can be lethal or can cause long term injuries." He then looked at Erika and said, "The katana that I have wanted to create has a similar function to this magic, but as you should know, this is exclusive magic from the Shippou family, so you should be prepared that you might be complained or attacked by their family."

Erika was deep in thought.

"Well, even if I don't apply this magic, there still other nice magic, after all, as for a close combat magician, what you need is sharpness, speed, and reaction, right? Even if you don't have this "Million Edge", you'll be alright to have those three points on your katana."

Erika thought for a bit and nodded. "That's true, the speed and sharpness can be easily done, but what about the reaction?"

"Well, leave that thing to me, but do you want to make this weapon CAD?" Haru asked.

"Of course!" Erika nodded without hesitation.

"Well, let's talk about this later after the competition ends since we need to focus on this competition first, right?' Haru said.

Erika nodded and said, "I'll also try to search for information about this No Head Dragon."

"Don't attack them carelessly, but one thing's for sure, I know that they're staying near the competition venue," Haru said.

"........." Erika and Kei were dumbfounded.

"It is obvious, isn't it? If they don't stay nearby then they won't be able to sabotage us, so you all need to be careful, alright?" Haru said.

Upon hearing his words, both Erika and Kei nodded to each other.

"Well, it is already very late, you should go back soon," Kei suddenly said when he looked at the clock.

Haru looked at the time and saw that it was almost midnight. "Well, that's true." He looked at Erika and said, "You should go back too, Erika."

"Ok." Erika nodded without hesitation.

Then Haru and Erika left the van, but Kei stayed and said, "The rookie competitors you are responsible for are from the fourth day of the month to the eighth. You shouldn't exert yourself too much. There will be players under my charge tomorrow so I'll have to work a bit longer."

"Well, then we'll leave first, Senpai," Haru said with a smile.

"Bye, Kei-senpai!" Erika also waved her hand with a smile.

Both of them had to admit that they had a good impression of Kei since he was very kind and he was like a girl? But they wouldn't say it out loud and went back together since it was almost midnight, but when they were walking together, Haru frowned since he noticed the presence of a group of people. He let out a sigh and missed his original world since, in his world, he didn't have such a troublesome method conflict, but anyway, since they had to come, then they should expect the worse scenario, right?
