Chapter 165

A gentle spiritual energy flowed into Nibuya Morika's body, giving her a feeling of boundless vitality, as if she had inexhaustible energy.

It was at this moment that she felt a sharp pain throughout her entire body, from the inside out, as her spiritual energy began to boil and ignite.

"Ouch, that's after the pain subsided. Thank goodness I was prepared, otherwise I would have made a complete fool of myself!"

Nibuya Morika endured the pain and didn't let herself cry out.

Hasegawa Izumi could tell she was enduring pain.

There was no other way; it was the only option.

The reason for this situation is that their bodies have not undergone much training, while their spiritual energy has accumulated too much, resulting in an excessive impact. However, this also allows them to awaken the abilities they desire and possess extraordinary potential.

"Call..."

After what felt like half a century, the spiritual light emanating from Nibuya Morika gradually subsided, and she slowly opened her eyes, letting out a long sigh.

"Has anything changed?"

"Could it be that they failed and died?"

The two people who haven't awakened yet are the most anxious: Natsukawa Masuzu and Dekomori Sanae.

"I feel great now."

Nibuya Morika stretched out her palm, clenched her fist, and her eyes became exceptionally bright, brimming with spiritual light.

Unlike Rikka, she didn't experience any external changes like the Sharingan; she simply felt that her soul had gained some different qualities, and her body felt as light as if it had been freed from shackles.

"Try to describe it."

"Hasegawa Izumi thought for a moment and said..."

Although he guided the birth of abilities, due to the difference between personal will and the nature of the world, there may be things that go against his will.

"Hmm, I should now be able to use Kido, which is a high-level spell that only Shinigami can use... In addition, I have a vague feeling that I can also possess a weapon similar to Zanpakutō, but I can't create it yet."

Nibuya Morika spoke of the current situation based on a vague intuition.

"Even this one has awakened?"

Hasegawa Izumi also looked surprised.

But this is also a good thing.

The system's potential in the Shinigami world is considered high compared to many other worlds.

"You're not only a fake, you're not even a magician! Death!"

This drew a disdainful look from Dekomori Sanae.

"What do you know! The shape and power of Zanpakutō are formed based on a soul, so it's possible to make it look like a magician's staff... Besides, I've already awakened, so where do you, a middle school kid who hasn't awakened yet, get the nerve to say I'm an imposter?"

Nibuya Morika turned her head, her eyes haughty, and said condescendingly.

"You! It's only a matter of time before Dekumori! My awakened power will definitely be stronger than yours!"

The latter's face flushed red, and she stiffened her neck.

"I don't know what your awakened abilities will be like later, but I feel you seem to lack reverence for the strong! If that's the case, you'll definitely suffer in the future! Everyone's teachings have been too lenient. Now let me make you clearly realize this."

Nibuya Morika Natsumi grinned, seeing that the other party was still so unruly, her sadistic side was aroused, and her eyes turned dark.

"One of the binding methods, blocking."

She made a gesture with her right hand and silently recited a phrase in her mind.

"What are you going to do...?"

Dekomori Sanae was startled. Before she could utter her threat, her hands were suddenly pulled behind her back by an unknown force, as if they had been bound by ropes.

The force pulled her backward, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground with a thud.

"Let me go! You imposter! Otherwise, you'll be sorry!"

Such verbal threats are clearly ineffective.

"If you can do it, then give it a try, or are you just someone who'll beg others for help?"

Nibuya Morika looked down at her, her expression contemptuous and full of mockery.

"Alright, just you wait and see. With moves like that, how can you stop me from dying!"

Unable to Dekomori Sanae humiliation, Sanae Tokomaru's initial urge to whimper for help vanished. Instead, she focused her spiritual energy on her hands to enhance her strength.

"Ah...!"

After a few seconds of stalemate, she managed to break free of her restraints and swing her hands from behind her back to the front.

"Hehehe, Dekumori did the death!"

"It seems that the Binding Technique 1 is still not very effective. Let's try a different move."

Before she could be smug for long, Nibuya Morika frowned again.

The girl's expression froze instantly.

"That's enough, Mori Summer, stop bullying the weak."

It wasn't Hasegawa spoke, but Takanashi Rikka, who, as the master, naturally wouldn't choose to stand idly by.

It must be said that his brows already hinted at the evil and domineering aura of the Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King User.

"Just kidding, I'm not really interested in bullying the weak."

Nibuya Morika waved her hand.

This dismissive attitude, which shows they don't even consider you a rival, infuriated Dekomori Sanae.

But they were powerless to refute it.

He could only silently bear this grudge in his heart, hoping that he would be able to get revenge after he awakened in the future.

Then.

Nibuya Morika then attempted to cast two other types of spells from the Kido: Hado and Kaidō.

Others watched her demonstration from the sidelines.

This has multiple capabilities; by simply adjusting the casting animation, it will indeed immediately evoke the image of a 'magician'.

Therefore, it is entirely feasible for her to cosplay as a 'magician' while being the 'Shinigami'.

If one day, Nibuya's opponents make such a judgment and choose to engage in close combat, they will surely be pleasantly surprised.

"Call..."

After testing a few moves, Nibuya Morika's forehead was covered in sweat, and her face was even a little pale, which was a sign of excessive consumption of spiritual energy.

The energy consumed in using spiritual power for punches and kicks is different from the effect of releasing it.

"You're already weakened?"

Natsukawa Masuzu made a teasing remark.

"What a useless Death."

Dekomori Sanae also joined in the mockery.

"With the spiritual power you currently possess, unleashing these techniques won't be easy, because the nature of spiritual power differs from the Magic Power you're familiar with, and it also greatly influences your mastery of the techniques."

Hasegawa Izumi provided an explanation.

The girls exchanged glances, and a decision immediately became clear in their minds.

It seems that for everyone, awakening is just the beginning!

54 Supernatural forces gradually becoming known

"Now let me help you set up the control scheme."

Hasegawa Izumi looked at the two of them.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Club President."

"Lord Sage, thank you for your hard work, Death."

Natsukawa Masuzu and Dekomori Sanae each responded with a sentence and extended their hands together.

Natsukawa's fingers were slender and long, like tender branches just sprouting in spring, both soft and elastic. Dekumori's hands were noticeably smaller, as delicate as a child's.

He grasped each of them, channeling his spiritual power into them to form a spell within their bodies, thus enabling a controlled awakening.

"Club President, how much longer do you think it will take for me to awaken?"

"Does Dekumori an even faster death?"

Both the usually Poison Tongue girl and the silly girl wore the same expectant expression at this moment.

"Based on my estimate, it should take about a week, right? As for who comes first and who comes last, that's not important."

Hasegawa Izumi tilted her head and said.

"This is important..."

"Club President!"

"Lord Sage!"

The two miraculously synchronized once again.

No one wants to be the last one, inferior to the others.

"You two are really competitive, that's a good thing."

Takanashi Rikka, holding the frame with both hands, remarked with a sigh.

"Isn't this a case of keeping up with the Joneses?"

Nibuya Morika said with a smile.

'You two have already awakened, so of course it doesn't matter! Damn it!'

Hearing their sarcastic remarks, Natsukawa Masuzu and Dekomori Sanae were secretly annoyed.

Another week of instruction has begun.

"The muscles here are too tense. Your way of exerting force is still not in harmony with the longbow. Moreover, as I said, your foundation is already good. Shinomiya, your key point is still in the cultivation of your realm. Only when you can reach the level of mind and will in harmony, and arrow and spirit in harmony, can your archery skills be considered to have entered the hall of mastery."

Hasegawa Izumi pointed and pinched the muscles on the girl's arm.

Shinomiya Kaguya blushed slightly, suppressing her embarrassment, and maintained her archery stance as she asked, "Mr. Hasegawa, may I ask you something sincerely? What exactly is this state of 'heart and mind in harmony' that you speak of? It sounds rather vague, doesn't it?"

Such highly technical jargon was still too difficult for her to understand.

"This kind of thing still depends on one's understanding. I can't teach everything. But... if we're talking about specific feelings, you should have experienced it Shinomiya, even if it was only for a short time. Under the guidance of archery, you'll know where the arrow will land."

"Hasegawa Izumi thought for a moment and said..."

"Hmm? Is that so?"

Shinomiya Kaguya withdrew her strength, restoring the bowstring to its original position. She frowned, her beautiful brows furrowed, and pondered carefully for a moment.

She quickly figured it out.

"Ever since I shot a perfect arrow in junior high school, I've been repeating that action. Looking back now, that feeling was truly magical. If I could maintain that state, I feel like I could shoot down the moon."

As she recalled how she felt at that moment, she nocked an arrow and restoring it to her bow, her smile somewhat innocent.

As for why it wasn't the sun but the moon, it's because she disliked the story of 'Kaguya-hime'.

"Looks like you've found the direction."

Hasegawa Izumi nodded in satisfaction and stood aside to rest and wait.

He could sense that the girl's energy and spirit were fluctuating intensely, moving in a harmonious and unified manner.

As expected of the world's top archery genius, although it differs from true archery, her talent still allows the girl to improve by leaps and bounds.

However, maintaining this state permanently is not so easy.

"That's the feel I'm looking for!"

Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly opened her eyes, which lit up with a bright, shimmering light, giving them a silky appearance.

Call out!
