Chapter 123
Kōko's eyes were full of hope.
Being the Little Sister of an Ability User is a very happy thing, because it's an honor... but if you can also step into the same field, the joy is on a completely different level.
To have your dreams come true is the best thing in the world.
"Of course!"
"Will the price be high, bro?"
"It's nothing to me... but I have a request for Kōko."
Hasegawa Izumi stroked her Little Sister's hair and spoke slowly.
"What do you want? I'll definitely do it!"
Kōko patted his chest and assured him.
"That Kōko you need to be in the top ten of your grade from now on!"
His request wasn't out of concern for his studies, but because power is a double-edged sword, and his immature Little Sister might cause problems if she tried to control it.
Therefore, we need to improve my Little Sister's self-discipline.
However, studying should be the usual approach, since the Little Sister is rather clumsy and would inevitably have to put in a lot of effort to improve her grades.
"Top ten in the grade!?"
Kōko's expression changed drastically upon hearing this request.
That's putting her in a really difficult position!
However, the thought of possessing such extraordinary abilities strengthened her resolve, and she made a promise to her brother.
"My other half, just you wait! I'll surprise you!"
The azure sea was relatively calm.
But those at sea gradually became impatient.
"Damn it, is it really that hard to learn to walk on water?"
"Why don't we just ask the Club President to teach us the trick? That would be much faster."
"Greedy Witch, can't you be a little more assertive?!"
"I don't think there's any secret to this technique. The key is the degree of control and balance of spiritual energy. You just need to work hard."
Everyone chattered amongst themselves, repeatedly tumbling from the sea into the water, gradually becoming more skilled at it.
They learned to slow down, not to rush, but to quietly sense the degree of spiritual energy release.
"I understand death!"
Suddenly, Dekomori Sanae realized something and shouted with joy.
"Huh? How is that possible! How could you possibly master it so quickly!"
Nibuya Morika didn't believe it at all and made a sarcastic remark.
"Really? Then let's try Death now..."
Dekomori Sanae, and she tried to quicken her pace. Her two delicate white feet touched the sea surface as she ran lightly toward her destination.
"Wait... stop right there! You... don't come any closer!"
In that instant, Nibuya Morika noticed the girl's malicious smile and immediately shouted loudly.
"Hehehe... Watch my whirlwind sweeping leg death!"
Of course, Dekomori Sanae wouldn't obey her orders. Instead, her smile widened as she approached her, crouched low, and unleashed a sweeping leg kick.
Unable to move, Nibuya Morika couldn't stand steadily and was pulled off balance by the force, crashing onto the sea with her bottom.
It is not very aggressive, but extremely insulting.
"Damn it! You inherently evil middle school brat, you deserve to die!"
Nibuya Morika stretched out her hands, gathered spiritual energy, grabbed the surface of the sea, and lifted herself out of the water, glaring fiercely at the sea.
However, this posed no threat to Dekumori, who patted his behind and loudly mocked, "Come and hit me, hehe!"
They're having a blast here.
The other two, however, felt the pressure.
"No, as the Master, how can I lose to Dekumori...?"
Takanashi Rikka serious, her face glistening with sweat mixed with seawater.
"Is that kid really that powerful?"
Natsukawa Masuzu was extremely displeased.
They drew before, but now they're lagging behind. Doesn't that prove she really is the weakest member of the Far East Magic Society?
That won't do!
Three minutes later.
"I see!"
Takanashi Rikka suddenly cried out, her little face brightening with excitement, and she began to increase her speed as she walked on the sea.
Success was within reach.
"At least it can't be the last one..."
Natsukawa Masuzu glanced at Nibuya, which was still being Dekumori not far away, and made up her mind.
She closed her eyes tightly, trying to feel with her heart.
Just as she took another five meters away, she finally had that premonition.
However, at that very moment, she completely disappeared into the water.
"Huh?"
Natsukawa Masuzu's face was filled with a bewildered expression.
My spiritual energy is exhausted...!
18 mana replenishment
For the girls, the time for cultivation was still too short, so even methods like Water Walking, which consumed less spiritual energy, exceeded their current recovery speed.
They hadn't developed the instinct to pay attention to their spiritual energy consumption, which led them into this predicament without even realizing it.
"Help, help me...!"
Forget about maintaining the decorum of Stand User, Natsukawa Masuzu instinctively wanted to call for help.
However, she forgot that she was in the sea, and the moment she opened her mouth, seawater rushed in.
She struggled desperately, hoping to attract her companions' attention, but this only made her sink deeper.
In addition, she was already some distance from the others, and completely submerged in the water, so her struggles only created a few insignificant bubbles.
Her breathing became increasingly difficult, and her face turned pale due to lack of oxygen.
No way...
After all the hard work to become an Ability User, wouldn't it be a huge joke if he drowned in the sea?
If the underworld had news broadcasts, she could easily be on the front page!
The girl felt her vision blurring and she was on the verge of death.
In that moment of utter despair, she suddenly realized that she wasn't thinking of her heartless father, nor of her beloved mother from childhood, but rather...
Club President?
On the sea.
"That fake Morisummer is far too weak, Death!"
Dekomori Sanae was having a great time playing with Nibuya, taking advantage of her height to toy with him and knock him into the water time and time again.
However, her smug expression didn't last long; the next moment, she fell into the water.
"A perfect opportunity! She's run out of spiritual energy!"
Upon seeing this, Nibuya Morika's initially indignant expression instantly turned to surprise, and she leaped out of the sea in a flash.
This is bad!!
The moment Dekomori Sanae fell into the water, my heart sank.
When she surfaced, she met a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but weren't.
"Have you had enough fun? Now it's my turn!"
Nibuya Morika Natsume grinned maliciously, stretched out her hands, and pressed her head directly into the water.
"Gurgle, gurgle..."
Now, the balance of power has shifted!
"Cough cough cough!"
Dekomori Sanae struggled and choked several times.
After their conversation ended, the brother and sister approached the sea.
"Wow...!"
Kōko looked at them standing on the sea with great envy in her eyes.
But it's okay, with her brother's guarantee, she'll have the ability in the future!
"These two are really sworn enemies."
Hasegawa Izumi watched Nibuya and Dekumori bickering, shook her head with a smile, and then turned to look at the state of the others.
Rikka has already mastered the skills of Water Walking.
Natsukawa...
Where are they?
His gaze swept across the room, and when he realized the other person was gone, his expression changed instantly, and he realized something.
"That guy can't swim, could it be what I'm thinking?"
His expression was strange, and then he jumped and plunged straight into the sea.
"Brother?"
Kōko looked at her brother who had suddenly plunged into the water, completely bewildered.
This action also attracted the attention of others.
"What's wrong?"
The three girls stopped what they were doing, looked around, and then noticed that one person was missing.
They suddenly remembered that some time ago, Hasegawa had given Natsukawa Masuzu reading, saying that Natsukawa couldn't swim.
The current situation is quite clear.
"That guy wouldn't possibly...?"
All three of them couldn't help but feel worried.
After Hasegawa Izumi entered the water, she immediately enhanced her eyes with spiritual power. The underwater world before her eyes instantly changed, and her gaze quickly locked onto the figure sinking to the bottom.
"Splash..."
Then, he began swimming with incredible speed, like a gust of wind in the water, and quickly reached the girl's side.
Has he already lost consciousness?
He thought to himself that there was no need to consider the idea of physical intimacy at this moment, so he reached out and grabbed the girl's soft waist, picking her up in his arms.
