Gorin Mio shouted, "If you don't surrender now, you'll really die!"
She wasn't trying to scare Yotsuba Mahiro; at this moment, she was already sweating, and even the hand controlling her CAD was trembling slightly.
She could indeed unleash Strategic-Class Magic, but her body wouldn't allow her to control it for long periods.
Reaching this point was already a complete gamble!
"Is that so… you think you can kill me with just this?"
Yotsuba Mahiro looked at the flowing sand around him and couldn't help but curl his lips.
What is this? Is this the Abyss? It's exactly like the Alchemist's ultimate skill in Defense of the Ancients, countless times weaker than Tatsuya's Quality Burst.
He had even thought of more than ten ways to counter it in this short amount of time.
He could use Ice Mist Divine Realm for a large-scale freeze; as long as his magic power exceeded the opponent's, he could completely cover it.
Or he could use flying magic to fly out.
Or he could use the Jumonji's Phalanx to create steps and walk up one by one.
But compared to these, he thought of a more interesting plan—
Mahiro stretched out his hand towards the flowing yellow sand beneath his feet, a faint light flashing in his pupils.
—"Technique Reversal: Anti-Demon Counterattack"—
A strong thought-wave instantly spread outwards from beneath his feet.
This was a technique he had created himself.
Essentially, it belonged to the same logic as Yoruichi's Anti-Demon Counterattack in Bleach.
It involved observing the opponent's technique and then releasing it in reverse.
However, this was not the Soul Society; there was no such thing as mutual cancellation here, but rather the creation of techniques with completely opposite effects.
What happens when a machine that was originally rotating forward suddenly reverses?
Naturally, it tears apart.
And the result of tearing is—magic out of control!
"Kid, are you crazy?! What did you do? Stop it right now!"
Gorin Mio screamed, drenched in sweat.
Her hand was trembling wildly; at this moment, she clearly felt her Abyss magic gradually spiraling out of control, and with her power, she could no longer maintain the rolling yellow sand!
Control was gradually being stripped from her hands!
"No way, just watch closely how I break your Abyss!"
Along with the sound from the pit, the magic completely ran wild the next moment!
Several tons, dozens of tons of sand and dust surged towards the center of the pit in an instant!
"Ah—!!!"
Gorin Mio also let out a tragic cry, the backlash of the thought-wave almost took her life!
Immediately after, something unexpected happened to everyone.
The surging sand and dust now inverted upwards, like a reverse Abyss; the ground swelled into a dune, followed by a sand pillar bursting forth and rising from the ground!
And Yotsuba Mahiro stood atop that sand pillar.
The strong wind blew his fringe, and he looked down at Gorin Mio, asking softly:
"How's this move of mine?"
"...I lost."
Gorin Mio bowed her head deeply, no longer retaining her previous elegance, and said weakly, "Our Gorin will abide by what we agreed upon… and no longer interfere with matters between you and Mayumi…"
"I'm sorry, Yoji, your sister let you down, making it so you and Mayumi can't get married."
"Sister, don't worry, it's alright. Mayumi doesn't like me anyway, even if we were forced to marry, we wouldn't be happy in the future."
Witnessing his sister suffer such a heavy blow, Gorin Yoji was filled with guilt.
This match must have hurt his sister a lot, right…
His usually excellent sister tasted defeat for the first time, and it was at the hands of a high school student ten years her junior.
If he had firmly refused his sister back then, why would such a problem have arisen?
"Is that so." Gorin Mio looked with complex eyes at the young man who had returned to the ground and restored everything to its original state.
She didn't understand, since he was so strong, why would Yotsuba Maya drive him out of the Yotsuba Main Family?
With this kind of strength… it wouldn't be a problem at all to establish a new Yotsuba right here, would it…
"Yoji, let's go."
Gorin Mio shook her head; such matters were no longer for her to consider.
After Yoji bid farewell to Saegusa Koichi, he pushed the wheelchair and left the Saegusa family with his sister.
"Mahiru!"
After the siblings left, Mayumi rushed over, excitedly patting his shoulder: "It's really you, Mahiru, you can even break Sister Mio's Abyss."
"Can Mahiro-senpai tell Izumi how you did it?"
"Kasumi wants to know too!"
After this battle, the Saegusa family twins seemed to have turned into little fangirls, constantly circling around him, their eyes sparkling with admiration.
After all, that was a Strategic-Class Magician!
There were only thirteen publicly known, but in reality, no more than fifty Strategic-Class Magicians in total!
"Haha, it's nothing, just a little trick… Huh?"
Mahiro smiled, but halfway through his sentence, a strong wave of dizziness suddenly swept over him.
Immediately after, Mahiro felt his vision blur, and his body uncontrollably fell forward.
He plunged straight into Mayumi's exquisite embrace.
"Ma-Mahiru?"
Seeing him suddenly collapse onto her chest, Mayumi was instantly flustered, her face flushed with embarrassment.
But when she saw the circles constantly spinning in Mahiro's eyes, she finally reacted.
Something was wrong!
"Mahiru, what's wrong?! Don't scare me!"
Mayumi panicked.
Believing Mahiro was severely injured, her face turned pale, and her voice and expression were utterly distraught.
She tightly hugged his head, not even caring that his head was buried in her chest!
