Therefore, if it was applied to a simple number play like the Sequence method, the whole operation would become extremely complicated.

�But he did it. He developed his own Sequence method using the Savant Syndrome.�

What was Yiruki�s limit?

Amy Karmis, the members of the House of Ogent. Shirone had met many geniuses in his life, but it was his first time coming across someone with an extremely tilted pendulum of talent like Yiruki.

�What do you think? You still think you can beat me?�

�I�m not trying hard to beat anyone. If they try their best, it doesn�t matter who wins.�

�What a classic answer. Alright, we�ll see when the time comes. Maybe I was wrong, maybe you aren�t that guy. Maybe you never were to begin with. But next time, watch what you say. It�s unpleasant to hear an idealist with no skills say what life is all about.�

Shirone gritted his teeth

�What in the world is wrong with him?�

He just wanted to say that everyone�s life was precious. But if even that was Idealism, at least according to Yiruki, then Shirone had no choice but to show him he was worthy of saying such things.

�Fine! If you think that way, then let�s compete. I will beat you for sure on this exam.�

�Haha! Now you�re talking. Though, the winner will still be me.�

�You�!�

The moment Shirone was about to go at him again, their classmates gathered around Yiruki.

�You were amazing! How did you do it? Can you teach me, too?�

�You had such a skill all along! Why did you hide it? Why don�t you join our research group? We might be able to finish our project within a month if you were to join.�

Compliments rained down, but not once did Yiruki�s expression change. Instead, he turned to Shirone.

�Shirone, the insight you showed during the Bridge That Cannot Be Crossed was a sight to see. However��

He gave an ominous smirk and turned away on his heel.

�My calculation is faster than your insight.�

Shirone gulped.

He had faced lots of competition ever since he entered the magic academy, but it was his first time against such a powerful opponent.

Nade patted Shirone on the back.

�Cheer up. While this might sound bad, as a spectator, I can�t help but find this competition exciting. Of course, I don�t care who wins since you guys are both my friends.�

�Competition is what I want, too. But not this kind of competition. Yiruki just flat out hates me.�

�What can we do? That�s the guy he is. But not just him. To make him go all out like that, you bastard? You�re something yourself too. You two are probably the only ones who have the potential to break the highest targeting record.�

�Huh? What�s the score?�

�Let�s see. From what I know, it should be 987?�

�What? 987?�

Shirone was astonished. JrNovels.com
