The All-Powerful Chūnibyō Champion

"As a pioneer of magic, Morisummer-senpai truly inspires my admiration~"

She couldn't help but praise it.

"Since you've gained Morisummer's approval, then I'll approve of you too. From now on, you can follow us and learn from us."

The boy continued.

"Yes, senior."

Nanamiya Chion lowered her head slightly, feeling no discomfort, and immediately accepted this arrangement.

At that moment, listening to the other person's words, she felt a sense of peace.

"Sophia is indeed a very talented genius."

Nibuya Morika smiled gently.

The two-person group thus became a three-person group.

However, generally speaking, Nibuya Morika and Nanamiya Chion are closer to each other, since they are both girls and there is still some distance between them and the boy.

Some people at the school even started promoting the two girls as a couple.

After all, the two people are very close when they are praying or at any other time, which can easily lead to misunderstandings.

During an exchange, Nanamiya Chion learned the meaning of the name 'morisummer' and then inquired about the meaning of the name Hasegawa.

"Morisummer, what is the meaning of the name of the Seeker of Truth?"

She wanted to know more about this mysterious man.

"Seeker of Truth... as the name suggests, they pursue a kind of 'Way,' right? A path, or something like a law?"

Nibuya Morika was also somewhat uncertain when she answered.

"Is that so?"

"This is just my understanding, and it may be inaccurate. If you really want to know, just ask the Seeker of Truth himself."

Nanamiya Chion hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to ask.

On their way home from school, the two walked side by side.

"The Seeker of Truth can have many meanings, as Morisummer explained to you, it can also mean one who seeks hope."

Hasegawa Izumi provided the answer.

"Hope?"

The girl looked puzzled.

"Yes, it is a kind of hope."

The boy looked up at the sky with a melancholy expression.

"I have been searching for too long and have tried too many methods of cultivation, but I have been unable to achieve mastery in this world and manifest extraordinary power in reality... If it only exists in the spiritual world, it will be meaningless except for communication between like-minded individuals."

From her sorrowful expression and tone, Nanamiya Chion could fully grasp the emotion she was feeling.

Even those who shine brightly in her eyes have a negative side.

Yes, the young man used the name of 'seeking the Way' to give meaning to his pursuit.

However, this long process was enough to make him feel desperate.

No matter what method he used, he could not find any hope.

When will that unknown road finally open up?

"It's alright! Seeker of Truth, I believe your pursuit will surely be fulfilled... In the near future, our true era will finally arrive!"

Nanamiya Chion raised her arm, clenched her fist, and cheered him on.

"Hahaha... But before that, you still need to grow stronger, Sophia. The abyss of magic is not so easy to reach."

Hasegawa Izumi paused for a moment, then patted her shoulder and walked away.

"I will try my best."

Nanamiya Chion watched his retreating figure and muttered something to herself.

From this day forward, the girl's life will have an additional layer of meaning.

She wanted to follow in the boy's footsteps, all the way to the end of the road.

One weekend.

Nibuya Morika logged onto the forum and saw a question.

I want to go to a parallel world.

My friends all say, 'There's no world like that,' and they completely ignore me.

Signature: SANASANA

She noticed the questioner's name.

This is someone I know.

morisummer: Even powerful mages can't easily travel to parallel worlds, so your ordinary friends naturally wouldn't know. However, as an ancient mage, I have personally experienced the existence of parallel worlds, so I can prove that they do exist!

The other party replied quickly and expressed a desire to have an in-depth discussion with her.

However, Nibuya Morika had other commitments, so she postponed it for the time being.

After carefully dressing up in her room and changing into a rather sacred magician cosplay outfit, she walked out of the room with cheerful steps.

This day was the 'day of seeking the Dao' that the three of them had agreed upon.

A street intersection.

Hasegawa, Nibuya, and Shichimiya arrived one after another.

Like Nanamiya Chion, Nibuya wore a Magical Girl outfit, leaning towards a cute pink, which fits the stereotype in people's minds.

"The destination is... here."

Hasegawa Izumi took a map out of her pocket and pointed to a location outside the suburbs.

According to memories gleaned from dreams, places with beautiful mountains and clear waters are usually more likely to possess extraordinary energies such as 'Spiritual Energy' than places bustling with people.

The three of them continued walking until they reached the mountains and forests.

Just as they were about to climb higher, they found there was no way forward.

"Let's climb up from this side."

The boy took the lead, pushed himself up with both hands, and climbed to a higher place.

"Seeker of Truth..."

"The barriers here are a bit too high."

"We cannot break through using only our Magic Power."

The two girls stood there awkwardly.

Give me your hand.

Hasegawa Izumi crouched down and then reached out.

Nanamiya Chion and Nibuya Morika exchanged a glance, both seeing the shyness in each other's eyes.

They've never even held a boy's hand before!

However, given the atmosphere, the girls, though shy, still reached out their hands.

Ten minutes later, the three of them climbed to a high point and looked down at the entire city.

"This is the first time I've seen it from this angle. Human cities are actually quite well-constructed."

"Hahaha... Once I learn flying magic, I'm definitely going to look down from the sky!"

Although she didn't find any trace of the extraordinary, the girl felt that her journey had been worthwhile, looking at the scenery before her.

Beside.

The boy joined in the laughter.

Extra Chapter: Epilogue 7

However, the scene of that day quickly faded from memory.

What happened next was...

After the holiday, the boy announced his departure.

The two girls could only accept this situation with regret.

Nibuya Morika and Nanamiya Chion maintained this state until the second half of their third year of junior high school when things changed.

Due to family reasons, Nanamiya Chion also transferred schools and left, leaving only Nibuya Morika alone.

Without any companions, Nibuya Morika quickly felt lonely and gradually woke up from her chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) dream.

The girl, who believed she had matured mentally and lost her innocence, instead regarded this period of her life as a dark history and resolved to change herself and become a more fulfilled person!

Therefore, she studied hard and entered Shuchiin with excellent grades.

However, on that day, the name Hasegawa reached my ears again—

She encountered fate once again.

On the other side.

After waiting for a year and a half, Eriri finally learned from her mother that her Childhood Friend had returned.

She had been suffering terribly during this period, and had already planned in her heart that she would take revenge when they met again and vent her grievances.

However, the moment the two met again at school—

She suddenly couldn't say a word.

Although she didn't want to admit her feelings at that time, she was still praying in her heart.

"I hope we can be childhood Childhood Friend for life."

After that, a period of stability followed. The Childhood Friend became much more mature than before, to the point that the girl had few memories of him during junior high school.

Until I went to high school.

Her life underwent a dramatic change because of her Childhood Friend.

What follows is a story that everyone is familiar with.

The Far East Magic Society challenges numerous other clubs, achieving instant fame, Hasegawa ascends to the throne...

Holy Chef, an academic exchange at the Soubu High School, and a swordplay debate with a grandmaster of swordsmanship...

From the Day of Heavenly Change, the preachers, and the extraordinary descended into reality...

He repeatedly turned the tide, slaying the Nine-Tailed Fox, destroying the Evil Cult, and finally taking on the crisis of world destruction, shattering the void and departing.

In the blink of an eye, several years have passed.

With the help of the organization and many Ability User, the world has changed dramatically.

The apocalyptic crisis caused by the natural disaster has been completely brought under control, and the appearance of Demons and Monsters has been suppressed.

Human society remained stable, but it was divided into the inner world and the outer world. Feuds between people in the inner world had to be kept from affecting the outer world, and humans even designated specific regions around the world for this purpose.

This rule was established by the powerful members of the legendary Far East Magic Society, so it was adopted as soon as it was proposed.

As time passed and the dust settled, few of the once formidable figures who dominated the early stages of the upheaval remained. However, the girls associated with that man have remained at the pinnacle.

No one knows how powerful they are, because everyone who has tried to challenge them has died.

And on a fine, sunny day...

These legendary Ability User have gathered on an island.

"You've all arrived?"

"I asked with a smile," said Nibuya Morika.

"It seems everyone has felt it."
