The Path of Cultivation Lies in Wealth, Partners, Method, and Place.

"Is he the Lord Sage you speak of?"

The Bewitching Ghost couldn't help but ask, and secretly pondered a way to escape.

"That's right, you've realized how insignificant you are, haven't you?"

Dekomori Sanae clutched a ball of crackling lightning in her hand, the light illuminating her smug expression.

"You little brat, what's there to be so proud of!"

Suddenly, she screamed, and the Bewitching Ghost let out a piercing howl.

Dekomori Sanae instinctively covered her ears, but at the same time she saw the Bewitching Ghost escape from the dark space, pass through a wall, and flee.

"Hmph! Trying to escape?"

The girl threw a punch, the power amplified by her spiritual energy was incredibly strong, directly shattering the wall. With a loud boom, pieces of rubble flew out, instantly turning the room into a mess.

"You can't escape death!"

She shook her hand, and then saw the Bewitching Ghost crash headfirst into the outermost wall.

"Bang."

The Bewitching Ghost, who claimed to be able to become invisible and pass through walls, actually crashed into the wall this time and was bounced back several steps.

"Why?"

It looked puzzled and completely bewildered.

A voice came from behind.

"Because you are the trial left to me by the Lord Sage. If I let you run away so easily, what kind of trial would it be?"

"Come on, abandon everything and fight me, Death!"

Dekomori Sanae clenched her fists, a bloodthirsty smirk playing on her lips.

"Damn it, you forced me to do this...!"

Left with no other choice, the Bewitching Ghost had to fight back and launched a series of attacks.

"Now, this is the Thunder Hammer User's full power!"

The girl clenched her fists, and a surge of electricity coursed through her as she charged straight at the source.

"Thunder Hammer Dance!"

"Furious Volt!"

"God of Thunder's Collapsing Fist!"

"Lightning Whirlwind Chop?!"

In the living room, a group of people stood around, but no one spoke; it was too quiet.

This scene was truly bizarre.

"Are you sure you're okay, Big Sister? Hasegawa-senpai, that monster looked pretty strong, didn't it? So many people couldn't fight it."

Feeling a bit creeped out, Ishigami Yuu looked away and tried to find a topic of interest.

"Compared to ordinary people, that demon is indeed powerful, but compared to Sanae, it's not necessarily so. Moreover, Sanae is of the lightning attribute, which is effective against these evil spirits, so you don't need to worry."

Hasegawa Izumi turned her head slightly, responded with a sentence, and then changed the subject.

"But Ishigami, what have you learned from this experience?"

"Do you understand?"

Ishigami Yuu muttered to himself, recalling the humiliation he had suffered on the street.

"Senior, I understand. To uphold justice, one indeed needs immense power; evil people usually don't reason with you."

"Indeed, this child is teachable."

"Speaking of which, could what you said before, senior, be true?"

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and remembered the lie he had told him not long ago.

"What, are you regretting it now?"

Hasegawa Izumi smiled knowingly.

"It would be a lie to say I don't regret it... Damn it, I missed such a great opportunity!"

Ishigami Yuu held his head in his hands, gritting his teeth, looking extremely distressed.

Even so, he did not ask for another chance.

As the saying goes, "To gain it is my fortune, to lose it is my fate."

We are already grateful to have received help today; we cannot be greedy any further.

The boy had a more open-minded attitude.

A few minutes later.

"Da da da..."

A series of hurried footsteps approached.

"My Lord Sage, that evil spirit has vanished under the lightning I cast!"

Dekomori Sanae jogged out, was breathing somewhat disordered, covered in dust, and her spiritual power had almost reached its lowest point. However, she was in high spirits and had no injuries, seemingly having won a complete victory.

"I saw it, Sanae, you did a good job. You used the powerful suppression of the lightning attribute to make it difficult to retaliate, and you have mastered the skills you learned very well... However, your attacks are still too straightforward. You can't control your movements, which leads to excessive consumption. If the opponent can hold on, then you are in danger."

Hasegawa Izumi provided him with guidance.

"Um, Lord Sage, I've had some problems lately..."

Upon receiving the praise, Dekomori Sanae was overjoyed. She then patiently memorized the subsequent instructions and combined them with her questions.

This was a rare opportunity for one-on-one instruction, so of course she had to seize it!

After a while.

"Alright, now let me erase the traces you've left behind."

Hasegawa Izumi arrived at the corridor she had been in before. With a thought, she repaired the damaged wall and then walked back.

As he descended step by step, flames suddenly erupted from the soles of his feet, spreading outwards from where he landed...

"Look, it's on fire!"

"Call the fire truck right away!"

Outside the brothel, passersby reacted to the flames and billowing smoke.

Then a group of people were seen fleeing from the brothel.

Some time later, the Fire Department and other government agencies arrived after receiving the call.

Why did you attend this party?

Do you know why the fire started?

What were you doing when the fire broke out?

The officials questioned the people at the scene. Because the overall situation was unclear and many of the people present were of high status, they did not use a harsh tone or forceful methods.

"Um, I came at the invitation of a friend, to protect her."

"I don't know the cause of the fire; I was dancing with my friends at the time..."

"That's all the information I have."

When questioned by the authorities, Ishigami Yuu answered calmly.

His answer was arranged by Hasegawa-senpai. Because everyone was hypnotized, no one would expose him. It was perfectly reasonable and flawless.

After a while, they received a notification that they could go home, but could not leave Tokyo until the investigation results were confirmed.

"Ishigami, I didn't see Di Ye. Could he be...?"

Otomoni Kyoko, standing to the side, looked at the building still engulfed in flames, placed her hands on her chest, and speculated with a pained expression.

Her memory turned into her being forced to dance by someone brought by Diye Guang. Then Ishigami Yuu appeared, stopped the person, and became her dance partner. Diye Guang left in a huff and went to the restroom. Then suddenly a fire broke out.

Who knows?

Ishigami Yuu made no comment on this; knowing the truth, he felt no pity for the other person's death.

This is Karma!

Following this, authorities investigated the fire and ultimately determined it to be an accidental incident.

Upon receiving this result, Ishigami Yuu could only sigh with envy.

"Wow, that's way too strong, senior!"

"So this is what a superpowered Ability User."

The boy's youthful, idealistic heart was beating wildly.

That evening, after showing off her skills, Hasegawa Izumi returned home as if nothing had happened.

Ishigami's performance was not bad in his opinion, but missing the last opportunity meant missing it forever.

He has always been very easygoing.

"Kukuku, my My other half, sneaking out in the dead of night, could it be that you have some unspeakable secret?"

Kōko, who was watching prime-time anime, noticed the door opening, stood up, turned around, and struck a pose.

This question was actually my Little Sister's way of exploring information related to 'mystery'.

Ever since she learned that her older brother had several other 'companions' who were also superhumans, she became increasingly concerned about it.

"It's nothing, I just went over to remove some 'traces'."

Hasegawa Izumi gave a simple answer while taking a bottle of cola from the kitchen refrigerator.

"Hmph, it seems my My other half is quite cautious. But it's true, no matter how much time passes, humanity's pursuit of power and immortality remains unchanged. When people like us appear, we're bound to be met with their greedy gazes!"

Kōko instantly understood and pretended to be profound.

The Little Sister's sense of identification began to merge with reality.

That makes some sense.

"Heh, it seems watching Kōko's anime wasn't a waste of time. Role-playing seems to suit you quite well."

He walked over and gently ruffled his Little Sister's blonde hair with a look of satisfaction.

"It's not some kind of acting! I am Resis·Vi·Felicity·Kou, the great progenitor of vampires! You My other half, merely regained your power first!"

Kōko stubbornly pouted.

"Hahaha..."

He smiled upon hearing this.

Before we knew it, it was the third day of winter vacation.

On Detective Slope, a girl dressed in sportswear, disguised, rode her bicycle downhill. Some paper drawings could be vaguely seen in the bicycle basket.

Eriri set off early this morning from her English garden and finally arrived at Detective Slope after cycling for a while.

"At this hour, Izumi shouldn't be up yet, right...?"

"Wait, he's an Ability User now, does that mean he doesn't need to sleep anymore?"

The cold winter wind ruffled her bangs. She looked up at the faintly brightening sky and drifted into a reverie.

"Ding-dong."

After parking her bicycle in the courtyard, she took her drawing paper and rang the doorbell.
