Chapter 116

The two turned around and looked at each other, both with expressions of disbelief.

He originally wanted to show off, but now he's just another face in the crowd!

"I awakened immediately after I got back, Little Dot, you must have awakened later than me, right?"

Natsukawa Masuzu quickly regained her composure, her eyes fixed intently on him.

"Dekumori of Greedy Witch, what are you talking about? Death! I reached this point on my way home, of course I'll die faster."

Dekomori Sanae ignored the pressure and retorted defiantly.

"You're talking nonsense! You couldn't possibly use Meditation Method to convert spiritual energy on your way home!"

"You're too stupid, Death! I can do Dekumori! You can verify it now!"

"Do you think I don't understand? Just because you can do it now doesn't mean you could have done it before."

Neither of them was willing to back down, and they argued until their faces turned red. Neither of them wanted to admit defeat and become the last one to be laughed at.

"I don't know what's the point of arguing about this. You two might as well be tied for last place."

With one hand supporting her chin, Nibuya Morika raised the corners of her eyes and mocked the two beside her.

Since both of them happened to be her enemies, she naturally treated them equally.

"Shut up!"

Natsukawa Masuzu and Dekomori Sanae also instantly switched targets, united in their hatred of the enemy.

"Huh? You good-for-nothings who are only two days younger than me, please show some respect to your seniors."

At the height of her confidence, Nibuya Morika showed no fear in the face of the two attacking her, and went straight for their weak points.

Then, the three of them started arguing.

Only Takanashi Rikka maintained a leisurely demeanor, somewhat resembling someone else.

"Alright, you've had enough of this. There's really no need to care about this. It's just a matter of how fast you start, not how high you can reach in the future. You're all former powerful figures who once dominated various realms. I don't need to explain such a simple principle to you, do I?"

After some time, Hasegawa Izumi ended the argument with a few words.

"Yes."

The girls nodded, not daring to argue.

They each sat down in their usual spots, and remembering what he had just said, they suddenly felt a stirring in their hearts.

Although their true identities are indeed those of the weak, it doesn't mean they won't reach the level of the characters they were originally cast to be, and they might even far surpass it.

The thought of this stirred up strong emotions in the girls, and they couldn't help but start fantasizing.

Compared to their previous state of being immersed in chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), people's delusions have not decreased but rather increased.

What are you all standing there laughing like idiots for?

After looking at her phone for a while, Hasegawa Izumi glanced up casually, noticed the situation, and looked at her with suspicion.

Could it be that the Meditation Method, which aims for quick results, has damaged the brain tissue?

That shouldn't be the case; the cultivation method he personally tested was perfectly fine!

"Uh, this..."

The girls paused, their minds racing.

"Club President, I'm thinking of a new approach..."

Natsukawa Masuzu's eyes flickered, and she spoke first.

"Dekumori also thought of a really cool move: death."

"I'm researching how to combine sorcery with the magic I've learned before, and forge my own path."

"I am calming the Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King, allowing it to merge with the Sharingan and become my new power!"

The others quickly followed suit, mimicking the mannerisms.

"Is everyone working this hard? Actually, it's okay to slack off occasionally. After all, you can all operate the Meditation Method around the clock. Awakening is just a matter of time."

He looked surprised.

No, no!

The girls all shook their heads.

This wasn't just a perfunctory response; it was a serious one.

They knew they were just imposters, and if they wanted to follow in the Club President's footsteps as closely as possible, they couldn't slack off. Even if they couldn't increase their cultivation speed, they had to consider how to enhance their combat power, such as continuing to work on the application of spiritual energy.

After all, even spiritual power, which is a fundamental and extraordinary force, remains an unfathomable subject of study for them in terms of how to use it correctly.

"I understand, if this is your insistence."

Hasegawa Izumi looked down at her phone, a satisfied smile playing on her lips where no one could see.

While there may be a sequence in learning the Way, the level of understanding can vary at any given time.

Falling behind temporarily is not a problem, as long as you maintain your perseverance and continue your pursuit of the Tao.

He believes that everyone will not let him down and will continue to follow in his footsteps.

Outside the window, the setting sun gradually sinks in the west.

A slightly melancholic orange-yellow light shone into the club activity room, illuminating everyone's faces.

As the time for parting drew near, the girls snapped out of their thoughtful exploration of spiritual energy.

"Club President, what are your plans for the rest of the summer vacation? Many clubs have activities planned for the summer!"

Natsukawa Masuzu cast an expectant glance at her.

Previously, she only regarded the club as her safe haven, but now she has completely integrated into it and become a part of it.

She was eager to participate in more club activities so she could learn more from the Club President.

"Does everyone have enough time? Our Far East Magic Society is actually a rather loose and free organization, so there's no need to force yourself."

After a moment of contemplation, Hasegawa Izumi asked the group.

Although he was the leader, he didn't want the organization to become a burden for everyone; everyone should have their own will.

This may seem like respect, but others don't see it that way.

"Not at all forced!"

"Dekumori loves being with everyone the most! Death!"

"Sage, this is our weakest moment, not a time to be willful. It's better to adapt to this world sooner rather than later."

Takanashi Rikka placed one hand on his shoulder and said with bright eyes.

Who wouldn't want to become stronger?

Even Fahai, upon encountering a snake demon, would say, "I need your help in my cultivation!"

They aren't truly aloof and powerful figures; they're just putting on a facade.

As ordinary people, if we can seize such an opportunity, even if it means facing a life-or-death situation, we will definitely climb up firmly and seize every opportunity to become stronger!

"Alright, since this is everyone's consensus, let's continue club activities during the summer vacation... As for the location, let me think about it."

Tawara Hasegawa Izumi stroked her chin with one hand, lost in thought.

"Club President, how about we go to your house?"

Natsukawa Masuzu, her eyes holding a captivating smile, and her long, smooth silver hair shimmered in the sunlight.

"Don't make such a suggestion, it might bother the Club President's family."

Nibuya Morika, who had considered everything carefully, glared at her.

Takanashi Rikka and Dekomori Sanae suddenly fell silent and did not offer any opinions.

They really wanted to agree with the Greedy Witch's idea, but after hearing Nibuya's statement, they were too embarrassed to say it.

"It's not impossible."

"Let me think about it," said Hasegawa Izumi.

His parents are currently abroad and won't be back for a while, so there's no need to worry about that.

As for my Little Sister, she might have the opportunity to fight alongside everyone in the future, so now is a good time to cultivate some feelings and understanding between us.

"Really? Sage?"

Takanashi Rikka looked serious and confirmed the sentence again.

"Real."

He confirmed it.

"Dekumori...! I finally have the chance to visit the 'Holy Residence' where the Lord Sage resides!"

Dekomori Sanae cheered loudly.

Just as we were about to part ways at the school gate.

"I will announce the time and location of the event later on Sea of Electrons."

Hasegawa Izumi waved goodbye.

Not long after, he heard another sound behind him.

"Oh, right, Club President, don't forget, you still owe us a hot pot meal!"

"I understand, you'll all get your share!"

He spoke, meeting everyone's expectant gazes.

After returning home.

"Kukuku, my My other half, finally, our joyful holiday together has arrived..."

When she saw her brother return, Kōko's face lit up with joy as she flashed a peace sign horizontally in front of her eyes.

For a girl, holidays are definitely much happier than school, not only because she doesn't have to study, but mainly because she has a lot more time to spend alone with her brother.

"Kōko, I might not have as much time to play with you during summer vacation."

Looking at her Little Sister's face, Hasegawa Izumi suddenly spoke earnestly.

"I... my My other half... could it be... you have an incurable disease!?"

Kōko recalled the story she had just read and immediately made the connection, her expression turning terrified.

"What are you thinking?! You're actually cursing your own brother!"

Hasegawa Izumi rubbed her Little Sister's cheek in an annoyed tone.

"Gurgle... gurgle, why is that?"

After escaping the clutches of the demons, Kōko looked puzzled.

"Ah, it's that... I've discussed it with the members of the Far East Magic Society, and we're planning to start organizing activities here, so we'll all be together then."

He offered an explanation,

"No, no...! My other half, how dare you bring those unknown creatures into our dwelling without permission! What is your punishment?!"

Kōko was naturally very unhappy. Being shy was one thing, but what she hated most was being disturbed from spending time with her brother.

"Is that so? I was originally planning to treat everyone well with so many people, and even make some dishes that I don't usually cook. It seems like I'll have to give up on that idea."

Hasegawa Izumi feigned a sigh, glancing at her Little Sister's changing expression out of the corner of her eye.

Will lavish offerings be made?

Kōko imagined it, and subconsciously swallowed.

"Well, okay... I agree."

He nodded in satisfaction.

However, with a little trickery, the Little Sister fell into his trap.

The third day after summer vacation.
