Chapter 102

The winner was Takanashi Rikka, who was so excited that she couldn't contain herself. Her little face was full of joy, and she put her hands on her hips.

"There's no other way, so let's give Master this chance, Death."

Dekomori Sanae had a pained expression on her face.

"Does it have to be this way, Sage?"

"Skin contact is the fastest method, but doing it remotely isn't that easy for me right now, and it might affect other people's progress."

Takanashi Rikka stood to one side, and upon hearing Hasegawa Izumi's request, she immediately showed a shy expression, placing her left hand on her right shoulder and her gaze wandering.

The other girls' expressions also became somewhat subtle after hearing this.

"Oh well."

Takanashi Rikka didn't hesitate for long before quickly nodding in agreement.

While such an action might seem somewhat intimate, if it were Sage...

As she thought to herself, she slowly pulled up part of her school uniform top, revealing her smooth and delicate belly, which shimmered faintly in the sunlight outside the window, reminiscent of fine silk.

Hasegawa Izumi extended a finger, locked her gaze, and then pointed it at a spot above her navel, using it as the core for gathering spiritual energy.

"Ee~"

The touch on her private parts caused the sensitive girl to let out a soft gasp.

"Don't make any strange noises."

He looked up and glanced at it.

"Um..."

The girl blushed as she answered.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, wisps of spiritual energy converged towards the spot where his finger had pointed, gradually forming a tiny, automatically rotating core of spiritual energy before disappearing from sight.

"Alright."

After a while, Hasegawa Izumi withdrew her finger and turned her head away.

"Next."

"It's my turn to die!"

Of course, it was Dekomori Sanae volunteered. Without any hesitation, her cheeks flushed slightly as she confidently pulled up her school uniform.

He repeated his previous actions.

This time, Dekomori Sanae held back and didn't make a sound.

"It's my turn."

Nibuya Morika, who was already mentally prepared, then took the stage.

She didn't mind the physical intimacy, after all, she had previously reached out and grasped someone's hands to offer blessings...

She tried to sense the process of the Seed of Spiritual Power forming, attempting to control that power, but unfortunately, she could only vaguely sense that something existed there, yet she couldn't access the power.

Shouldn't we ask a question here?

Although it might feel shameful for someone of the ancient magician's status.

Nibuya Morika quickly rejected the idea in her mind.

Never mind... I think I can figure out this simple thing by myself, right?

"Club President, I'm at your disposal now."

Natsukawa Masuzu winked playfully, her hands preparing to lift her school uniform to reveal glimpses of her alluring, snow-white skin.

"No need, Natsukawa. Since you are Stand User, you can place the Seed of Spiritual Power here."

Hasegawa Izumi shook his head, reached out and touched the girl's brow, gathering Spiritual Energy there to form Seed of Spiritual Power.

This is because the essence of Stand User should be considered a type of summoning magic, and placing the spiritual core in the head can help nourish the spirit and enhance the effect of the summoning magic.

"Club President... you did this on purpose, didn't you!"

The look that Natsukawa Masuzu gave him was somewhat resentful.

As the sun sets and everything comes to an end.

"With the planting of the Seed of Spiritual Power, your bodies will automatically increase their spiritual power. Coupled with your efforts, your awakening speed will increase significantly... Alright, that's all for today."

Hasegawa Izumi glanced at the time and then said some polite words to end the conversation.

After he said goodbye to everyone at the school gate...

The girls stood there awkwardly staring at each other, neither of them leaving.

For a moment, I didn't know where to begin.

3. Miracles and magic both exist.

"Look at me, look at you... Have we both gone mad?"

Raising one eyebrow, Natsukawa Masuzu's lips curled into an exaggerated mocking expression.

Faced with her sarcastic remarks, Nibuya Morika remained calm and stood aside, inviting everyone to join in, "Let's go together. I think we have a lot to talk about now."

"Um."

Takanashi Rikka and Dekomori Sanae exchanged a glance, then nodded emphatically.

After the three of them walked some distance...

Natsukawa Masuzu remained standing still, her expression shifting between light and shadow, as if she were struggling with something.

"What are you standing there for, Natsukawa? Come on! Now we should be considered people from the same world, right?"

Nibuya Mori turned around and greeted him.

"Alright, I'll keep you company while we chat."

Although Natsukawa Masuzu was conflicted, after some thought, she still had to admit this fact.

What happened today was too bizarre for one person to fully comprehend.

Arrived at the coffee shop.

Natsukawa Masuzu rested her chin on one hand, stirring her coffee in a small bowl with a spoon in the other, remaining silent.

"Were you all this calm before? A normal person would be screaming in shock after seeing something so unbelievable happen."

Nibuya Morika scanned everyone's expressions, recalling their previous behavior, and first raised this question.

"Is there anything strange about it? As Thunder Hammer User, I also possess the power of death. It's surprising that you, imposter, are so calm."

Dekomori Sanae wore an expression of complete indifference, her eyes seemingly utterly innocent.

"No... that's right, nothing surprising. The Sage just awakened before me; I'll catch up soon."

Takanashi Rikka also pretended to be calm and said.

"Alright, there are no outsiders here, and the Club President isn't here either. You two stop pretending! Being a chuunibyou is being a chuunibyou, don't try to pull it off. Only the Club President is the real Ability User."

With her hands forming an archway under her chin, Natsukawa Masuzu glanced at them and said sarcastically.

"That's right, you can fool others, but don't fool yourself too."

Nibuya Morika chuckled as well.

"What are you talking about! I don't understand."

"I'm not lying to myself, it's death!"

With such openness, Takanashi Rikka and Dekomori Sanae tried to argue, but they couldn't win against the two of them, and their faces instantly turned red.

"To be honest, I really didn't expect that superpowers existed in this world..."

Suddenly, Natsukawa Masuzu looked lost in thought.

The other three girls were also somewhat moved.

The Club President's previous behavior was indeed suspicious, but still within the realm of understanding. However, he has now clearly transcended that realm and possesses truly supernatural powers.

"Could it be due to the change in the heavens? The Seeker of Truth did not display this ability before."

Nibuya Morika made a guess.

"The Lord Sage foretold the coming of the Day of Heavenly Change, death."

Dekomori Sanae added another sentence, which aroused everyone's suspicion.

Does this mean the Club President already possessed this ability before?

"Speaking of which, we don't really know what this celestial change is, do we?"

Natsukawa Masuzu raised another question.

They were, of course, unaware that the 'setting' Hasegawa of was actually reality; otherwise, they would have paid close attention to every word he said.

"Let's not think about those things for now. Shouldn't we be focusing on how to cultivate ourselves?"

Takanashi Rikka pressed one hand to her eyepatch and continued with an air of authority, "My 'Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King' is eager to awaken!"

In reality, this is indeed everyone's top priority.

However, the settings they mentioned were just settings, and naturally, they couldn't explain them in any meaningful way.

"Then we'll have to seek guidance from those Seeker of Truth."

Nibuya Morika's expression hardened.

"But wouldn't that expose Death?"

Dekomori Sanae frowned, clenching one fist at her chest, her expression worried.

"Then let the Greedy Witch go and investigate, and then we can exchange ideas and explore together."

At this moment, Takanashi Rikka turned her gaze to Natsukawa Masuzu.

It's perfectly normal for someone new to have things they don't understand.

"Let's just be honest with the Club President."

The latter responded with a mocking smile.

"No!"

All three denied it.

"Just kidding."

Natsukawa Masuzu understood what they were worried about: they were afraid that her transcendent status in the Club President's eyes would disappear, thus closing the path to seeking the extraordinary.

Although she felt the Club President wouldn't change policy, even she didn't want to take that risk.

Because...

Natsukawa Masuzu looked down at her clenched fist.

She needs enough strength too!

So, after discussing it, the four girls formed another small group.

"See you tomorrow."

After walking a distance from the cafe, the girls parted ways at the intersection.

When they were all alone, they finally couldn't hide their expressions anymore.

"Hahaha, it's actually true! Superpowers really exist in this world! Then... miracles and magic must exist too!"

Nibuya Morika ran along the sidewalk, so excited she couldn't contain herself, like an innocent girl dancing gracefully, holding a schoolbag in both hands, and doing a 360-degree spin.

You must know, she was once full of expectations, firmly believing in the existence of a special power in this world, and immersed in her own world.

But that blissful feeling didn't last long. She soon realized that she was just indulging in wishful thinking, and that such special powers simply didn't exist in the world.

As a result, she was ridiculed by everyone, became withdrawn, and was extremely disappointed in her past self, wanting to abandon the past.

"Hahahaha..."
