The first to take the stage was the representative of the Dream Magic Club, a seemingly mischievous young girl. Her eyes sparkled with playful light, and a mysterious smile played on her lips.

She wore a deep purple robe adorned with golden patterns and a tall, pointed hat, exuding an air of mystery and elegance.

As soon as she appeared, she captured everyone's attention. Her voice was clear and melodious: "Fellow students, welcome to the Dream Magic Club. Here, we will explore the infinite possibilities of abilities together and create incredible magic shows."

She waved the magic wand in her hand. A brilliant gem was embedded at the tip of the wand, and as she swung it, the gem emitted a dazzling light. She chose a lucky audience member—a boy who looked a little nervous but also excited.

The boy excitedly went on stage, anticipating her magic.

Then, she gently tapped him with her wand, and the boy suddenly transformed into a cute little rabbit.

The audience gasped in surprise, while the little rabbit, clearly confused, scurried around the stage.

But it was obvious that a rabbit couldn't escape her control. She gently reached out and scooped up the rabbit.

Then, she elegantly took off her hat and placed the little rabbit inside.

With a smile, she tossed the hat into the air. The hat spun, and soon the rabbit jumped out. Oh no, what jumped out of the hat was no longer a little rabbit, but the lucky audience member, restored to his original form.

This magical performance earned thunderous applause and exclamations from the entire venue.

The representative bowed and then said, "If anyone has interesting magic tricks or wants to learn how to create magic with abilities, you're welcome to join the Magic Club!"

Itozawa, Ichinose, and Kanzaki discussed the Dream Magic Club's performance. Itozawa found the club very interesting, saying, "The people in that magic club are quite interesting. They use abilities to perform magic, which looks even more fun than regular magic."

Ichinose's eyes also sparkled. "I wish I could do magic like that." But he quickly pouted, "My ability can't do any magic, so I guess I can't participate."

Kanzaki analyzed more calmly, "This club might teach us how to control our abilities more flexibly, which will definitely help improve our strength in the future. It's a shame it's probably just about technique and won't improve our abilities themselves. Otherwise, I'd really want to try it out."

All three thought the magic club was quite interesting, but unfortunately, it didn't seem suitable for them.

The second to take the stage was the representative of the Miracle Circus, a young man dressed as a clown.

He walked onto the stage with light steps. His clothes were colorful, his face painted with exaggerated makeup, and a comical hat was tilted on his head. His eyes sparkled with mischief, and a cynical smile played on his lips.

As he moved, the atmosphere in the entire gymnasium became more lively.

He suddenly stopped, spread his arms, and then his entire body slowly floated into the air. This immediately drew everyone's attention, and the students let out gasps of amazement.

The clown easily adjusted his posture in mid-air, then invited the audience below, "Are there any brave volunteers to come on stage and perform a wonderful act with me?"

A spectator, urged on by the crowd, walked onto the stage. His eyes held a hint of curiosity.

Unexpectedly, the clown asked him to fold his body into a ball. The spectator was clearly startled, worry appearing in his eyes. But under the clown's encouragement, he bravely extended his hands.

The clown instructed him to bend his limbs freely. The spectator hesitated slightly but followed the clown's commands.

As the spectator moved, the clown's body began to undergo astonishing changes.

His limbs became as soft as noodles, quickly bending into a ball shape, forming a face with his limbs.

The face's expressions were varied and dynamic, shifting from surprise to joy, making the audience below burst into laughter.

Kanzaki watched the clown's performance, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. "His ability is definitely a top-tier Body Ability. He has mastered his body to perfection."

Itozawa nodded in agreement. "Shibata should have participated. If he learned from this representative, his ability would definitely improve a lot."

But for themselves, they weren't too interested in the circus. After all, their abilities were all Mind-Type. Although the clown's performance was brilliant, they were more focused on clubs related to their own abilities.

After the performance, the clown returned to the stage, his voice tinged with a hint of mockery. "Thank you to our brave volunteer. I am the representative of the Miracle Circus. Our club only recruits students with Body Abilities or Object-type Abilities. Other abilities are not considered for now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the students in the audience began to whisper. Some students with Body Abilities showed excitement in their eyes, expressing strong interest in joining the circus. Mind-Type ability users, however, appeared somewhat disappointed, knowing the club wasn't for them.

Next to take the stage was the representative of the Mind Combat Club. They appeared to be twin brothers, almost identical in appearance, both burly with well-defined muscles.

As they walked onto the stage, they didn't put on a flashy display like other club representatives. Instead, they immediately engaged in a brief spar on stage.

Ichinose watched their fight. At first, she thought it was just a regular display of Body Abilities and was about to watch casually. But Kanzaki and Itozawa quickly saw through their technique. Their fighting skills weren't particularly high, but their combat clearly focused on the mind, or rather, the Mind Sea.

The brothers' fight seemed simple and brutal, but in reality, every attack and defense was accompanied by subtle changes in Mental Power. Their eyes flashed with sharp glints, and every eye contact seemed to be an invisible contest.

Kanzaki and Itozawa watched with great interest. Both realized that the brothers' true strength lay not in physical power, but in their mental control.

After the spar, the brothers noticed the confusion among the audience. So, they simply proposed, "Are there any skilled fighters in the audience, even those with Body Abilities? Come up and spar with us."

Students skilled in combat in the audience naturally saw the shortcomings in their fighting skills. But thinking the brothers were just weaklings fighting each other, they eagerly went up. Then, very quickly, they were defeated and sent back down, looking bewildered. Four or five contestants went up successively, and everyone finally began to understand their true combat style.

One of the brothers cleared his throat and said loudly, "Our Mind Combat Club recruits Mind-Type ability users. We teach you how to protect yourselves this way. Our combat is not just a physical confrontation, but also a contest of minds."

Ichinose shook her head after hearing their recruitment criteria. Her style didn't match the club's training methods.

As for Kanzaki and Itozawa, their own combat skills were already very high, so they didn't need this extra training.
