As Kotori Itsuka appeared, Mana Takamiya also arrived on the rooftop of Raizen High School, wearing her Realizer.
"Kurumi, you again! I won't let you escape this time!"
Seeing this, Lin Guang helplessly rubbed his forehead.
"Sigh... things just keep getting livelier. But Mana, could you please stay out of what's between Kurumi and me?"
Lin Guang tried to reason with Mana Takamiya, but she flatly refused. "No. I'm going to destroy her this time."
As she spoke, Mana Takamiya had already drawn her lightsaber and pointed it at Kurumi Tokisaki.
Seeing this, Lin Guang knew there was no reasoning with Mana Takamiya, so he sighed.
"Sigh... in that case, I'll have to excuse myself."

Seeing this, Mana Takamiya said to Lin Guang in some anger, "Hey, this is the second time already! What exactly are you trying to do?"
Lin Guang smiled slightly. "This is a matter between us Spirits, so I hope AST and DEM Industries won't interfere. Otherwise, if I get angry, I might just come knocking on your doors."
With that, Lin Guang walked past Mana Takamiya. As he walked, white chakra gradually rose from his body, and he spoke to Kotori Itsuka.
"Kotori, give Shido his spirit power back first. It wouldn't be good if he accidentally got hurt. While you're at it, take Shido and Tohka back to Ratatoskr."
Kotori Itsuka dismissed her astral dress, and the spirit power returned to Shido Itsuka's body, though he couldn't
