The All-Powerful Chūnibyō Champion

She quickly found excuses for herself, such as "dreaming of fighting with magic" and "occasionally hearing the murmurs of elves."

"It seems... to be true!"

"Perhaps I really was a remarkable magician before!"

She clenched her fist and said with a determined look in her eyes.

"Seeker of Truth, I beg you, let me awaken!"

But she didn't want to continue her previous life; she wanted to live more consciously.

Only during this confused and self-absorbed period of adolescence would a girl be so easily captivated.

"Alright, let me help you complete your awakening."

The boy would find it more interesting if he could have companions in the future, and readily agreed.

Soon, the students in the class began to notice.

Nibuya Morika's behavior and appearance began to become strange.

Bonus Chapter 5: Love is Everything

When a young girl suddenly starts dressing up, it's usually a sign that she's starting to fall in love.

Some people were discussing privately whether Nibuya was dating the new reincarnated student, since the two were inseparable at school.

They soon realized they had misunderstood, which was even stranger.

Nibuya's attire mainly consisted of school uniforms with the addition of magical cloaks and jewelry; they had never seen such an extravagant display before.

"Nibuya, what's wrong with you?"

A girl who had spoken to Nibuya took the opportunity during gym class to strike up a conversation, trying to get to know him better.

"Shh."

Nibuya Morika raised a finger to her lips, then clasped her hands together and closed her eyes.

"I am sensing the presence of an elf..."

The female student hugged herself tightly, utterly embarrassed.

What is all this nonsense?!

Then, some strange rumors began to circulate in the class.

It's said that Nibuya often talks to himself, or produces some inexplicable objects...

To be precise, this is indeed the truth, but people don't quite understand it and keep their distance to avoid being seen as a 'strange person' and thus isolated.

In Tou-ei society, the ability to read the atmosphere and sense the flow is a crucial skill. Once you're ostracized by the mainstream, others won't associate with you.

Of course, Nibuya Morika, who was undergoing changes, didn't care about any of this; she was completely immersed in her own world.

Finally, one day, she completed her new role in this world.

A real magician named Mori Summer who is actually over 500 years old and still alive!

Thus, the awakening is complete.

In the afternoon, the sun was blazing.

On the rooftop, a goddess, bathed in radiance, turned her head.

"Seeker of Truth, is this our first meeting?"

Oh? Who are you?

The boy's eyes lit up with interest.

"I am Morisummer, an ancient sorcerer. Thank you for awakening me from my long slumber. I will remember your kindness."

Nibuya Morika put on airs and spoke in a serious manner.

"No need to thank me. Even without me, you would have ended up like this sooner or later."

"That's true."

Hasegawa was the one who brought about the opportunity, but even without his appearance, the girl would still have taken this step.

Because that's just who she is at heart.

From then on, the two stood on a relatively equal footing.

"Seeker of Truth, have you made any progress regarding your goal?"

Nibuya Morika suddenly changed the subject.

"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name... Seeking the Tao is not an easy task, especially in today's world."

The boy shook his head.

"Truly profound."

Nibuya Morika couldn't help but sigh.

"In that case, as a reward for awakening me, let me embark on this path with you."

"With your help, things will definitely be much easier for me."

The boy readily agreed.

The girl smiled happily, her back to the sun, radiating a glow like that of Elf Mother.

Subsequently, the duo of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) seemed to have even better teamwork than before.

They usually act in pairs, either searching for traces of the extraordinary on campus or drawing Magic Circle in an attempt to trigger miracles.

Although their efforts were ultimately futile, it was an unforgettable period for both of them.

Especially for Nibuya Morika, it was the first time she felt like she was 'alive in this world'.

Even though she endured countless scornful Byakugan and ridicule, the girl remained undeterred, treating it all as her entire life, and planned to write a magic book called [Dark Grimoire] to demonstrate her existence.

Besides pursuing her dreams in reality, she also began to spread her brilliance in the digital world, such as resolving other people's doubts online.

Some people even became her fans because of this, consulting her on Electronic Ocean every day and praising her existence.

This gave Nibuya a unique kind of satisfaction.

With recognition, she naturally became more motivated to do things, and she worked harder and harder on this matter, starting to preach at the school as the 'Elf Mother'.

The phenomenon of "chuunibyou" (middle school syndrome) is actually quite common during adolescence, but most people can distinguish it from fantasy. Few people become so obsessed that they can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality, and naturally, they will feel resistant.

Therefore, the missionary work in Nibuya did not go smoothly.

Until one day, a girl named Nanamiya Chion appeared.

"Hehehe~"

During her lunch break, Nibuya Morika was meditating and resting in the pavilion when a strange, loud laugh startled her awake.

What comes into view is a cute girl with her pink hair tied in a double loop.

Who goes there?

She said calmly.

Nibuya's chuunibyou state allowed him to maintain a calm and peaceful state of mind that he didn't usually have.

"Nanamiya Chion."

The girl in front of me answered.

"I've heard you're a magician who can hear the voices of elves?"

"That's right, I am Morisummer, an ancient sorcerer over 500 years old... Have you come to me for a blessing?"

Nibuya Morika clasped his hands together in a sacred gesture.

"Morisummer?"

Nanamiya Chion thought to herself—

So cool!

She also wants a name like that!

"Ahem, I'm here to find comrades-in-arms to fight alongside!"

"Nanamiya Chion answered loudly."

"Always thinking about conflict is a bad thing..."

Nibuya Morika gently shook her head.

"But fighting is a must!"

"If the world is full of love, there will be no more fighting."

The two had a clash of ideologies.

However, Nanamiya Chion was clearly not as shrewd as Nibuya, and after several days of debate, she was completely convinced.

"Rest assured, as long as we follow the teachings of the [Dark Grimoire], everyone in the world can be saved!"

"Real?!"

"So come and pray! This is the life-saving potion I created..."

"Thanks!"

"Sophia, the angels are surely by your side..."

Under that saintly radiance, the novice Magical Girl was completely unable to resist and became a little fangirl.

The two patients stood hand in hand in the corridor and began to pray.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot to introduce someone to you..."

Afterwards, Nibuya Morika felt that the time was right, so she took her to see another powerful being.

Who is it?

"I asked curiously," said Nanamiya Chion.

"The Seeker of Truth, a respectable pioneer, is the one who awakened me from the cycle of reincarnation... His power is indescribable."

Nibuya's introduction instantly sparked a flood of thoughts in the young girl's mind.

Who exactly is this Seeker of Truth the Tao?

Extra: 6 Seeker of Truth

Another day at noon.

As agreed, Nanamiya Chion went to the fire escape on the second floor and then walked step by step up to the rooftop.

Soon, two figures came into her view, standing in front of the railing gazing into the distance.

"You've come."

"So you're the newcomer who wants to follow us?"

Nibuya Morika and Hasegawa Izumi both turned around.

What beautiful eyes!

At first glance, Nanamiya Chion was captivated by those star-like eyes.

"Um?"

The boy let out a soft "Eh," which brought her to her senses.

"Ah... I am Sophia Ning SP Saturn VII, you can just call me Sophia. I'm currently working hard to become a qualified Magical Girl."

Nanamiya Chion blushed slightly.

"Magical Girl, no wonder you and Morisummer get along so well."

The boy sighed.
