Chapter 187

It's a good opportunity to try out the moves I just learned.

"Subdue and tame the demons!"

She took out a string of prayer beads she had received from her mother-in-law. Spiritual energy formed various patterns that covered the beads. Then, she murmured something and tossed the prayer beads away.

Under the incredulous gazes of the two, the flying prayer beads completely defied the forces of gravity, hovering in the air for a moment. Then, the beads trembled inexplicably and suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, forming a forbidden zone that resembled a dense network of electric arcs.

"Sizzle sizzle...!"

Amidst the crackling of electricity, the malevolent spirit's hideous form appeared and disappeared, even visible to the girl behind it.

They were then shocked to realize that such terrifying things existed in this world.

However, this once terrifying creature was now incredibly fragile and unable to move.

"Roar!!"

Before long, the evil spirit let out a miserable howl, then turned to ashes and disappeared from the world like ashes after a fire.

Wow! That's amazing, Miko!

Yurikawa Hana clapped her hands immediately, her face full of admiration.

Although I don't know exactly what Miko did, she was definitely very impressive.

"Master, please accept me as your disciple!"

Yuria was completely overwhelmed by this power, and immediately clasped her hands together and knelt down to beg to become his disciple.

This scene reminded Yotsuya Miko of her own past.

So that's how it was. So that's what the leader was feeling back then...

"I'm sorry, I'm not yet qualified to take on disciples. Compared to my seniors, I'm still just an apprentice."

She blushed slightly, scratched her cheek with her finger, and answered somewhat awkwardly.

"Senior? Is there someone more powerful than you?!"

Yuria's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"Of course, our leader is the 'strongest'! Compared to him, I'm nothing. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have made it this far."

Yotsuya Miko's flattering words piqued their interest in the 'leader'.

"Please, please introduce me to that sir! I want to become his apprentice!"

Yuria immediately became solemn and hugged her legs.

'You've changed your target so quickly?'

Yotsuya Miko's expression was somewhat strained.

"The leader is very busy; you can't just see him whenever you want..."

"Bite..."

Suddenly, she received a text message from the leader.

"Yotsuya, I have something for you. Where are you now?"

The girl thought for a moment, glanced around, typed a question, and quickly received a reply.

"You're lucky, the chief happened to need to speak with me, so..."

76 That figure with its back to all living beings

"Really? It's really possible to meet the Chief?"

For someone who wants to pursue the mysterious, Yuria's admiration for strength is even stronger, and she idolizes those who can claim to be "the strongest," her eyes sparkling with admiration.

If you're going to take someone as your master, of course you should choose the most skilled one!

Only then could she possibly fulfill her ambition of becoming a super-powerful Ability User!

"Um."

Yotsuya Miko calmly nodded, then turned to ask, "Xiaohua, are you going back? Or are you coming with us?"

"I want to go! I'm really interested in someone that Miko is so adoring! I originally Miko you were the aloof type, but you're like a completely different person when you talk about him."

Yurikawa Hana stretched out her hands, clapped gently, and looked at him with curiosity.

"Is that so?"

Yotsuya Miko gaze had shifted to the side, which seemed somewhat unconscious.

To be honest, she didn't really want her best friend to get involved, but since that had already happened, she figured she might as well let it go. It would also be a good opportunity to ask the leader for help and resolve Xiao Hua's problems.

After a while.

The three girls arrived at the agreed-upon location, which was beside a river.

On the riverbank, a figure stood quietly, hands behind his back, his gaze seemingly fixed on the distance, giving off a transcendent and ethereal feeling.

"Chief! We're here."

Yotsuya Miko enthusiastically reached out and called out to him.

Her best friend next to her pouted, a little jealous.

She had never experienced such enthusiasm before!

"Are these your friends?"

The next second, the figure with his back to everyone slowly turned around, as if time itself had frozen for a moment, and the aloofness that only an absolute powerhouse could generate came over you.

At the same time, those bright blue eyes fell on them, making them instantly feel as if they had been thoroughly examined.

"Um, I'm Yurikawa Hana, and I'm Miko's good friend."

The girl stood with her toes pointed inward, a shy blush on her face, her hands clasped together, revealing her nervousness.

"Uh, I, I am Futamido Yuria, Boss, Boss, please, please take me as your disciple!"

Another girl, so short she looked like a primary school student, also started to stutter, never having felt so clumsy.

Although neither of them had ever witnessed the other's power, hearing the legends and feeling that unfamiliar aura made them both somewhat reserved.

"You two, don't be so nervous. The leader isn't an evil spirit; he won't eat you."

Yotsuya Miko offered a word of comfort.

"My name is Hasegawa Izumi. You can just call me by my surname."

Hasegawa Izumi first gave a polite self-introduction, then replied in a cold tone, "As for the title of 'Chief,' forget it. I have no interest in taking on disciples. Besides, while you, Nibutō, do have some talent, you're still far from being as good as Yotsuya."

He could tell that this girl, who looked like a little devil, was the kind of person who was quite stubborn, so he made it clear to her directly in order to make her give up.

"How could this be...? Is my mysterious journey coming to an end!?"

Yuria was deeply shocked and collapsed to the ground, supporting herself with her hands, her face deathly pale.

"There's no need to be so disappointed. Although I won't take you as my apprentice, you still have people you can ask for help. As long as you can persuade Yotsuya, it'll be the same."

Seeing the other person's pitiful appearance, he offered a word of advice.

"That's right!"

Yuria quickly rallied and turned to look at Yotsuya Miko.

"If I have time, I can exchange cultivation experiences with you, but there's absolutely no need for me to take on disciples."

Yotsuya Miko was kind-hearted, and after confirming that the leader would not restrict the transmission of knowledge, she readily agreed.

Her main concern was that it was rare to encounter an extraordinary individual, and if they could be recruited as a prospective member, the organization's manpower would not be stretched thin in the future.

After all, even the elites in an organization can't do everything themselves.

"Mmm~! Hasegawa is the best...!"

Yuria was already quite satisfied with this result, so she did not push her luck and greatly praised his generosity.

"Club President, I'd like to ask for your help. How can we solve Xiaohua's problem?"

Looking somewhat flustered Yurikawa Hana was pushed forward by her best friend.

"Let me see."

Hasegawa Izumi focused her attention and looked over.

The other person's life energy surged and overflowed from their body.

"Um, is there a problem with me?"

Feeling her face burning under the intense gaze, Yurikawa Hana asked weakly.

"No, it's nothing, just a strong vitality, which is a special physique... If you were to train your body, you should be able to Achieve enlightenment through martial arts very quickly, but you would have to endure a lot of hardship. But judging from your appearance, it's clear that this path is not feasible."

He answered.

"Practicing martial arts? You mean learning karate, swordsmanship, or something like that? No, no, I can't do that."

Yurikawa Hana hurriedly waved her hands in refusal.

Besides not wanting to get hurt, she also didn't want to use her best friend's favor with that person.

"What a great opportunity! What an idiot!"

A soft muttering came from the side.

"I see."

Yotsuya Miko wasn't surprised by her performance.

"However, besides pursuing martial arts, you can also try becoming a 'Healing Type' character."

After thinking for a moment Hasegawa Izumi added.

The girl's appearance reminded him of 'Inoue Orihime' from the world of Shinigami, and her unique physique might allow him to embark on a training path similar to her Fullbring.

Although he himself did not have the opportunity to receive treatment, he still kept in mind what the members of the organization said that day.

"Indeed, Xiaohua always gives people a very healing feeling."

Yotsuya Miko glanced at her best friend's expression and nodded in deep agreement.

"Eh~"

Yurikawa Hana hadn't reacted yet.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a burst of gunfire could be faintly heard from the opposite bank of the river.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Was someone firing a gun?! Or was it just fireworks?!"

The delicate Yurikawa Hana instinctively hid behind Yotsuya Miko, while the precocious Yuria cowered behind him in fear.

Gunshots fired in broad daylight would naturally terrify people in relatively safe environments.

"Chief? Do you know what's going on?"

Yotsuya Miko face was expressionless and turned to ask.

She couldn't even sense that far distance with her spiritual power, but the leader was definitely different.

It seems the leader must have sensed it when he looked in that direction earlier!

As expected of an invincible leader.

"I'm not entirely sure about the specifics, but I sensed the presence of demonic energy and the aura of someone I knew, so the Strategy Room is probably on a mission, but it seems like things aren't going very well."

As Hasegawa Izumi looked up, the seemingly faint, colorful auras in the distance became more noticeable.

Do you need help?

Yotsuya Miko became condensed.
