The Long-Awaited Transfer Student Who Drops from the Sky.

"Divine Black Flame Cannon!"

His entire body unleashed its Magic Power, and a dark red fire dragon flew out to confront him head-on.

For a moment, the two dragons fought fiercely, each attack between their claws tearing a piece of flesh from each other.

Until a certain limit is reached, the two dragons can no longer maintain their size and dissipate.

"Call..."

"Ha..."

Seemingly due to intense exertion, both girls were panting heavily, their voices particularly clear in the quiet night.

"I never imagined our battle would be so intense..."

"Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King, I acknowledge you in this battle!"

Nanamiya Chion was the first to act, raising her fist and shouting excitedly.

Takanashi Rikka remained silent, her expression unusually calm.

"Next, I'll let you experience my ultimate move... Explosion Magic!"

"Be careful, or you might get seriously injured because you're holding back."

As Nanamiya Chion gave the reminder, she raised her wand high, and waves of Magic Power spread in all directions.

"It can increase strength by so many times all at once?"

This power seemed to startle even Takanashi Roku.

Then, a beam of magic light, condensed to its maximum intensity, shot out from the wand.

"It's over... she should be alright, right?"

Without the strength to confirm the result, Nanamiya Chion collapsed to the ground, her face turning pale from exhaustion of spiritual energy.

"It's definitely over."

Suddenly, a faint voice came from beside my ear.

"Well?"

On the platform above the slide, Nanamiya Chion suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils trembling in disbelief.

The surrounding flowers, plants, and trees remained unchanged, just as before.

"Was that... an illusion? When exactly did that happen?"

The girl's voice was slightly bitter.

"From the moment you met my 'Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King'."

Takanashi Rikka pointed to her Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

She had just used her 'Illusionary Sharingan' and then calmly walked to the other person's side. If she were to do anything now, the consequences would be obvious.

Previously, illusions were practically ineffective against those 'monsters,' but they proved incredibly effective in PvP.

"Unexpectedly, the outcome of this battle was decided from the very beginning."

Nanamiya Chion lowered her head, her mood noticeably downcast.

"No, it should be said... the battle was over before it even began."

Chapter 3: The much-anticipated transfer student.

"Don't be discouraged, after all, the Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King is the strongest."

"You just chose the wrong opponent."

With her back to the moonlight, Takanashi Rikka spoke with a detached expression, displaying the Loneliness of a Master.

"... It was just my carelessness! If I had been prepared, I could have easily broken through that mere illusion!"

"But Sophia isn't a sore loser. Even if you win this time... I'll win next time."

After being defeated, Nanamiya Chion didn't try to be defiant but instead admitted defeat.

However, she was very dissatisfied with the result of this competition, which was not a real contest.

"It seems you still haven't realized the gap between us, but it doesn't matter. No matter how many times you challenge me, I won't lose... Well then, goodbye, Sophia."

After saying those words, Takanashi Rikka used the Body Flicker Technique to leave.

"So fast!"

Nanamiya Chion was surprised and blinked her cute eyes.

At that speed, she could only catch a few faint traces...

"It seems she wasn't using her full strength in the illusion."

She crouched down, head bowed, deep in thought about the events of the battle, trying to devise a better way to respond.

At the dining table.

"Rikka, you fought someone again? Are you hurt?"

Jukka asked with concern.

"It's alright, sister, don't underestimate me! Under the guidance of the Sage, the Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King is already hard to beat."

Takanashi Rikka confidently raised her head.

"Overconfidence is arrogance."

Jukka glanced at her.

"Like right now, if I secretly add something to the dish, you're finished, aren't you?"

"Huh!?"

Takanashi Rikka stared blankly.

"That's not true..."

"Why?"

"Because you are the Holy Chef, my sister."

"Looks like you really do need to learn a lesson."

Jukka stared at her with a pair of dark red eyes, her expression indifferent.

"..."

The girl being stared at suddenly felt the world spin, the person in front of her gradually became blurry, and then everything went black as she collapsed onto the table.

Looking at her fallen Little Sister, Jukka said thoughtfully, "What Hasegawa taught us was indeed quite impressive."

Her culinary knowledge covers a wide range of areas, so while she understands the effects of 'Food Therapy,' she is also aware of the potential side effects of certain dishes, similar to the saying 'every medicine has some degree of toxicity.'

Today, she's going to make a dish with side effects that can cause unconsciousness...

It wasn't because I wanted to test its effectiveness, but because I felt my Little Sister had been working too hard lately, so I wanted Little Sister to get some rest.

After all, even superpowered Ability User are still, to some extent, 'mortal beings'.

"Good night."

Jukka put her younger Little Sister on the bed, then turned off the light and closed the door.

That day, Takanashi Rikka slept very peacefully.

When she got up, she felt a long-lost sense of ease.

However, recalling the lesson her sister had taught her yesterday, she did indeed summarize her experience.

In the future, you will need to have your food and water checked, otherwise you might accidentally make a mistake.

After all, no matter how skilled one is in martial arts, one is still afraid of poison.

A week later.

Monday morning was a very sunny day.

Along the way, the students of Shuchiin chatted and laughed as they entered the campus.

"Hey, did you guys hear? It seems like a transfer student is coming today!"

"At this time? Isn't that a bit too sudden?"

As soon as Fujiwara Chika stepped into the classroom, she heard everyone chatting animatedly and joined in.

After learning what had happened, she decided to share the news with her friends.

"Izumi-chan ~! I have some news that you'll definitely find interesting!"

When Hasegawa Izumi arrived at her seat, Chika-chan excitedly ran over to tell her immediately.

Tell me about it.

He said this as he stuffed his schoolbag under the table.

"We have a 'mystery transfer student' coming today!"

"Then what."

"What do you mean, 'then'?!"

Fujiwara Chika had been expecting Hasegawa to show a similar expression, but she was very disappointed.

"Izumi-chan, why are you so calm? This is a 'mysterious transfer student,' you know! Isn't this what your Far East Magic Society is most looking forward to? Someone who transfers a month after the start of the semester must be mysterious. Aren't you curious?"

She puffed out one cheek as she spoke.

"Oh, is that so... I'm very curious."

He drew out his words.

"You're kidding! Since Izumi-chan isn't interested, then I won't say anything!"

The girl snorted.

What's wrong with you?

He was somewhat puzzled.

"Izumi-chan, you idiot!"

The girl was so angry that her eyes suddenly turned upturned.

"Are you still angry about that?"

He understood quickly.

"We didn't intentionally hide it; it's Fujiwara himself can't understand us."

Just then, Takanashi Rikka came to their side.

"Rikka- chan, I misjudged you!"

Fujiwara Chika was in a fit of anger and immediately vented her frustration.

"Alright, Fujiwara, why don't you tell us about the 'mysterious transfer student'?"

Takanashi Rikka looked away somewhat guiltily.

Are you sure you really want to know?

"I'm sure."

"Then, if anything happens in the future, remember to tell me!"

"If you want to know..."

Despite Fujiwara Chika's intense gaze, Takanashi Rikka still agreed.

"Okay, let me tell someone else too..."

Fujiwara Chika glanced at someone out of the corner of her eye before slowly beginning to speak.
