You Want to Become... What King Was It Again?

Only one girl, completely oblivious to the atmosphere, barged straight in.

"Izumi-chan, let's dance together!"

Fujiwara Chika's lovely face was even more captivating in the firelight.

Um?

The four girls from the Far East Magic Knot immediately fixed their gazes on her, making her feel as if Mount Tai was pressing down on her.

"Hey, why is everyone looking at me like that?"

She was stunned for a moment.

Isn't it perfectly normal for friends to dance together?

Isn't everyone jumping?

The girls immediately realized they had misunderstood something.

However, Natsukawa Masuzu immediately stepped forward and said, "Fujiwara-san, there's at least a first-come, first-served order, right? We should at least wait until we jump with the Club President first."

"I was the one who said it first!"

Fujiwara Chika's cheeks puffed out.

"Sage, would you like to give it a try?"

Takanashi Rikka immediately tugged at his sleeve.

"It's a rare opportunity to participate in such a celebration, so why not give it a try?"

Nibuya Morika looked around and said.

"Lord Sage, let me go first, Death!"

Dekomori Sanae cast an expectant glance at her.

"Then I'll play with you for a while."

Hasegawa Izumi nodded.

The girls then used rock-paper-scissors to determine the order, and then each of them danced a short dance around the campfire.

Those who handled the transaction were naturally very satisfied, but some people who were secretly watching were furious.

"What a bunch of dissolute bastards! Especially Fujiwara, what exactly do you mean by this? Have some self-awareness!"

Shinomiya Kaguya frowned deeply, her eyes darkening.

"Damn it, you're always hanging out with Izumi, have you no sense of boundaries? And Chika, how come you're so close to them too!"

Eriri thought through gritted teeth.

However, things do not unfold according to human will.

The two men, standing still, could only watch with displeasure as the girls in the distance smiled and danced happily.

At the same time.

"I'm so envious!"

Why don't I have as many girls who like me?

"There's nothing we can do; they're just that outstanding."

Among the crowd nearby, a group of people were extremely envious, wishing they could form the FFF Group on the spot.

"Let's jump ourselves, Kirihara."

One of them turned to invite his friend, but his friend brushed his hand away, leaving him looking bewildered.

"I have something to do, I'll be going now."

Kirihara Ryunosuke turned his back to the bustling crowd and walked towards the school gate, his eyes filled with gloom.

As a member of the prestigious Pure Academy Student, he had always looked down on those from Mixed Academy Student. Hasegawa's sudden emergence changed that, which made him very unhappy.

Secondly, the oppressive methods they used to crush Shuchiin were utterly despicable!

Those women must have been coerced into being so obsequious!

He muttered to himself as he walked out the door, went to a music bar for a while, and then came out again, his eyes full of hostility.

The reason is that I got into a fight with someone inside, and I couldn't beat them in the end.

"How can it be repaired!"

Kirihara Ryunosuke was very annoyed and kicked the can away with force.

"I wish I could become that strong!"

"In that case, I will be able to become the king of Shuchiin and rule over everyone!"

His heart was filled with ambition, but cold reality told him that it was impossible.

The man's abilities were beyond the imagination of ordinary people; unless one possessed supernatural powers, it would be impossible to defeat him.

Unbeknownst to him, he passed by a small path.

Do you want power? If so, come here and I will give you that power!

A call suddenly came from the darkness.

What was that sound?

Kirihara Ryunosuke's eyes gradually lost their luster, enveloped in a layer of eerie light, and he unconsciously took steps to walk inside.

There, he saw a thin man whose entire body was bound with bandages, with only his lifeless eyes showing.

"Wear it, and you will possess the power to conquer all!"

The Bandage Monster stretched out its bony right hand, holding another white bandage.

"The power to conquer everything? With it, can I become the King of Shuchiin?"

He muttered something to himself, reached out and took the bandage, then consciously wrapped it around his right hand. A ghostly blue flame then appeared on his hand.

In that instant, he felt a terrifying increase in his power, and he also gained control of a supernatural energy.

"What's it called again?"

"Since it can help me ascend to the throne, let it be called 'King's Power'!"

The light in Kirihara Ryunosuke's eyes gradually faded. When he walked out of the alley, he had forgotten what had just happened, only knowing that he had awakened extraordinary power.

The next day, he tested his awakened power— the King's Power.

First, it can enhance his strength and speed, and even give him the destructive power to shatter boulders.

In addition, it can also use the King's Power to undergo a transformation and further enhance its abilities.

After I return from vacation.

As a member of the baseball team, he tried out this power and easily hit a home run, earning cheers from many people and even gaining a few female fans.

He was completely captivated by the feeling of being admired.

"With this power, I'm sure I can defeat that guy!"

Kirihara Ryunosuke's ambitions grew even larger.

After all, even the strongest ordinary person cannot withstand his King's Power!

"In that case, I'll issue a public challenge, just like that guy did before, using my best sport, baseball. I'm sure that arrogant guy will accept..."

Feeling confident of victory, he prepared a challenge letter and slipped it into the other person's shoe locker.

After club activities ended, he would secretly hide by the shoe locker and wait for the other person to appear.

Soon, the man came into view.

"Just wait, I'm about to shatter your evil rule that has lasted for months at Shuchiin! I will become the supreme ruler of Shuchiin! With my King's Power!"

He gripped his right wrist with his left hand, screaming wildly in his mind.

Just then, the man opened the shoe cabinet.

Only then did he realize that it was already full of envelopes.

Then, the man skillfully tossed the envelope into the nearby trash can.

Kirihara Ryunosuke: "..."

Chapter 97 You're going to become... what kind of king again?

Hasegawa Izumi has been having a very troublesome problem lately.

That is, he received far too many 'love letters'.

The performance at the Culture Festival not only made him famous online, but also attracted some people from Shuchiin who were not particularly fond of him before. And it wasn't just the high school students; even some junior high school students joined in.

At first, he intended to take these letters seriously, after all, they were a token of his goodwill. Even if he couldn't respond, he would at least read them once. But later he became numb to them because there was nothing of substance in them.

Hopefully, after this period of intense public reaction, everyone will regain their rationality.

He went back to the shoe cabinet and took out his student leather shoes.

"The Club President is really popular. Compared to Club President, what I went through was nothing. I'm actually a little jealous."

At the shoe cabinet next to her, Natsukawa Masuzu pulled up the back of the shoe with one hand and inserted her toes, which were covered by black stockings, into it. After putting it on, she glanced at the trash can and then walked over.

"Jealous? What are you jealous of? Don't always do things that cross the line."

Nibuya Morika appeared from the side and made a sarcastic remark.

"Of course it's because he's jealous that the Club President is more popular than me! What else could it be?"

Natsukawa Masuzu pouted, putting on an innocent and naive expression.

"Greedy Witch, get your place right, Death!"

Dekomori Sanae appeared out of nowhere, her expression warning.

Hasegawa Izumi and Takanashi Rikka glanced back, then quickly looked away.

That's become quite common.

Afterwards, the group of Far East Magicians left Shuchiin and went their separate ways.

Hasegawa Izumi walked into that familiar little garden, suddenly stopped, and turned around with a resolute tone.

"Come out, you've been following me for a long time."

A gaze has meaning.

Even in a crowded school, he could clearly feel the hostile gaze from the other person.

When did you find me?

Around the corner, Kirihara Ryunosuke, wearing a baseball uniform, walked over, holding a baseball bat in one hand, his eyes under the brim of his hat somewhat gloomy.

"Never mind, it's not important."

Soon, he muttered something to himself, raised his right hand, pointed the baseball bat forward, and shouted.

"Listen up, Hasegawa! My name is Kirihara Ryunosuke, and I'm a student from Pure Academy Student. I've been looking down on you for a long time! How dare you, a mere student from a Mixed Academy Student, act so arrogantly towards Shuchiin! Now I'll challenge you in your own way! Tomorrow at 4 PM, at the baseball field, the baseball game. If you lose, you'll be stepping down from your throne!"

Hasegawa Izumi did not respond, her gaze fixed on the bandage wrapped around the other person's right hand.

It looks like a clumsy imitation of Rikka.

However, he could sense the curse contained within it, clearly indicating that it was a Cursed Tool.

Could it be that this thing gave them the courage?

Are you ignoring me, Hasegawa?

Kirihara Ryunosuke felt the nonchalance of the person in front of him. The contrast between the cheers he had enjoyed earlier and the contempt he felt now caused him to lose his composure and his expression gradually turned angry.

"Were you just talking about playing ball?"

Hasegawa Izumi raised her head slightly, then waved her hand dismissively, looking rather bored.

"Forget it, it's too boring."
