We're doing practical test about the time of casting, Course 1 students are required to cast a basic spell at 800ms minimum.
I am in front of my friends since the line is alphabetical and I am nearly at the start of the line since my initials are F.R. the spell we're using is to move a platform through the line and stop it at the designated spot.
You have to adjust everything from launch speed to, when to stop acceleration, it's not that different from magecraft it's just becomes all technical when you make it into data you can calculate with electronics.
When my turn comes up I use everything I have with my MCA, not like I have a reason to lay low and I got 300ms which is pretty damn good but I know Miyuki is going to do better since I remember hers being at 200s from the LN.
It's funny that I don't remember most people but I remember her test results.
For example, there was this shield magic dude my head just marked him as Leonidas since his magic is called Phalanx.
Anyway, I ignore the seniors' who's giving me hungry looks, like what is this open market?
I know you guys want new blood but it almost feels like they're just going to kidnap me.
As expected Miyuki pulls 257ms putting me behind, afterward Honoka and Shizuku also pull off 290ms together putting me back to 4th place which bothers me, guess who's pulling an all nighter to get to the top yes it's me resident side character.
I use my silent walking and shinobi skills I have trained over the years to blend in during the times I am alone at least until the classes for today are done.
I am not running from social interaction no sir, I am hiding from those people that started salivating after they saw me alone without my barriers in the form of top 3, since like I said I can't follow girls everywhere.
I stealthy arrived at headquarters at the same time as Tatsuya.
"What happened that you needed to use such high-level hiding skills?"
"Hungry seniors, they didn't look at me like a human being, they looked at me as if I was a piece of meat!"
"It must be hard..."
"Thanks, how am I going to live without your sarcasm"
"Huh?" I guess he didn't expect anyone to catch that.
Getting in we just sat down at our chairs, it's not our place to introduce ourselves since Mari got us she needs to introduce us.
Etiquette in this world is weird or I am just too used to doing whatever I want.
After Mari came she explained the whole recruitment deal once more and how people could get agitated or too free with their hands and of course their magic.
There are guidelines for this of course they're allowed to use some degree of magic as an example but like everything humanity does people tend to take thing too far and finally Mari introduced us at the end of her talk.
We are literally free to beat common sense into people after the explanations senior members gone ahead with their patrols while Tatsuya and I are given our armbands and recorders.
We are free to use our CAD and I will, Tatsuya got two CADs from the committee for his bootleg magic cancel and we start our duties.
I just said good luck to Tatsuya and left, every MC can use a bit of good luck.
I wonder if I can use two CAD together with my magic circuits...
Questions for another day I guess since I can already see someone sending fireballs at some dude who has water balls.

This is ridiculous, remember the part when I said magicians are logical people... Yeah, scratch that.
I am using my sensory abilities that come with chakra to find people do shit before they can get away with it but there's just too many people horsing around. At least I am getting good training for my sensing with chakra.
I apprehend four inappropriate magic use, stopped five fights, and three sexual harassments.
It's not even half of my shift yet.
They nearly stripped three girls naked, I would have been really befuddled if not for seeing the same happen to Erika in LN.
Those who got harassed were all-female to female stuff since males were just too busy staring at the flesh being uncovered but it doesn't make it right.
Seriously what were they thinking when they banned freedom of sex these people need to get laid.
There were some cases of course 2 students wanting to join a club but they got violently refused.
I honestly don't know what to do with them especially since course 2 dudes just act like worms once the authorities arrive since they're afraid of bullying later on.
I was so busy with these types of incidents that I missed Tatsuya vs Kenjutsu club...
Well not like there's no security records.
_____
After the day is over I started writing reports alongside their recording while Tatsuya is being handled by Mari, Mayumi and Leonidas dude since it's a big deal when you beat up the whole Kenjutsu club.
Once I am finished I look at Tatsuya who is still giving his report while explaining stuff using his recorded footage.
"Good luck Tatsuya!" I say while leaving, now he also has to deal with a terrorist organization since he can cast jam without that military stuff.
The next few days are relative hell, I am sure I heard EMIYA warning me all the way from Type Moon while I was going out for my shift today.
~That's hell you're walking into.~
Most stuff is directed at Tatsuya since Blanche is trying to get him to use Cast Jamming again to prove he can do it.
Too bad it's not a hard thing to do, I am honestly not amused, not even Antinite would work on me due to my circuits.
It's not because of possessing circuits but the upgrade Ophis did with Kaleidoscope.
So I was hoping to have some fun time busting these chumps but they only target Tatsuya and they even have an inside man in the committee but I can't really prove it without pulling deus ex machina out of my ass.
So I spend my days using my senses and stopping stupid teenagers being stupid.

"Is it that hard, you look so done?" I ran into Erika who's strolling the booths.
"It's surprising that so many idiots managed to enter this school and here I was thinking I did well by coming here"
"Ouch, that bad?"
"I am hoping that someone would jump out with cameras and say they were joking the whole time"
As if to prove my point some dude tries to use magic on some cheerleader, a wind spell no doubt.
I just reinforced myself and appear in front of him with my best "are you serious" expression.
After a little warning and I am back to Erika.
"That was Fortification right?"
"Something similar..."
"I must say it was pretty well done, but why use that when you can use acceleration magic?"
"Habits die hard" it's actually pretty nice that there's a whole different branch for speed instead of just reinforcing everything like in Type-moon.
Unfortunately, I have yet to inspect and leverage every type of magic yet.
"Well, this is my destination see you later Fujimaru."
"Yeah, later."
Later that day after I was done with my shift I found Mayumi outside of a cafe that I know from the anime, sneaking up on her I watch her as she reports what's going on to Miyuki who apparently had too much work to do her own stalking.
"I think this is illegal Kaicho"
"Eep!"
"I know Miyuki is brocon but please don't feed her information she can get herself"
"Fujimaru please don't scare me like that! and it's my job to make sure students are happy. Yes, I am just doing my job"
"Thank you for your hard work, I will reward you with one candy," I say while giving her another candy.
It seems like I am going to tame her with this stuff. As she's weak towards genuine praise Mayumi fumbles about what she's going to say.
"Anyway what are you doing here?" She eventually manages to ask as we both watch Tatsuya talk with Mibu.
"I was just passing and saw you working hard"
"Yeah, but what do you think about Mibu?" She says with some worry she must've known about Blanche already.
"She doesn't act rational and I saw some unsavory armbands during my arrests, she is probably being exploited by someone" I bullshit with my meta-knowledge.
"How can you be that sure?" She seems like she believed me but still unsure of my sources
"A magician never reveals their secrets" I even use my rainbow trick but the only thing I get is a deadpan expression that told me everything I need.
"Sigh Everyone is a critic these days"
"So I noticed your CAD..."
"I know it's not the prettiest out there but..."
"Those engravings are from ancient spells right?"
"Yeah, it helps."
"I thought people who use ancient magic tend to keep them hidden"
"It's runes, it was common years ago there's nothing to hide"
"Hmm first Gandr now runes, it's almost like you're some heir of a Scandinavian family."
"It's not my fault they're practical and if I was some heir I wouldn't be zombifying my CAD while I can get something better." I say with a shrug.
"If that's what you want to say about it."
"Well I am going home, be sure to keep your eyes on Mibu she's bound to do something"I warn while throwing another candy to her.
"You should come to the student council on lunches just teasing Tatsuya is not fun enough" She points out as she eats the candy and walks away.
