In this crossover anime, I fight against the supernatural in my everyday world.

"Does that mean Kawasaki-san and Kitagawa-san aren't pretty enough?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? We are the Supernatural Quantum Mechanics Research Club, not my harem club. Appearance is not a recruitment criterion."

"Oh, so they're not your type?"

"I've already said, that's not the issue."

Listening to everyone's cheerful conversation, Yui Yuigahama wore her usual sweet smile, nodding in agreement from time to time, but a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes.

Only those with value can enter the Superpower Society.

Yui Yuigahama looked at the members in front of her. Apart from Touma Kazusa, who couldn't make it here because of an emergency today, every member of the Superpower Society possessed a unique ability.

My current self...

Is there really any place for someone to stay here?

The television, which had been muted, was broadcasting a news story that seemed to have gone unnoticed by everyone.

The perpetrator, known locally as the "Sunny Doll Killer," has committed his fourth crime.

The killer targeted women, and the victims were all female students in junior high and high school.

The Metropolitan Police Department urges women in this age group to minimize going out late at night and to avoid walking in secluded or deserted areas.

[Chief of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, Soichiro Yagami, solemnly promised that he would use all the resources of the Metropolitan Police Department to bring the perpetrators to justice as soon as possible, restoring a safe and peaceful Kyoto City to its citizens.]

144. Totsuka Saika's request was not only a matter of skill but also a matter of life and death.

The next day, Monday morning.

After entering the classroom, Hiratsuka Shizuka glanced at the students, then tapped the podium. Once all the students' attention was on her, she slowly began to speak.

"As you all know, we will have our final exams next Monday."

"After the exams are over, it will be the summer vacation you've all been looking forward to."

Upon hearing this, the students couldn't help but show excitement.

This long first semester is finally coming to an end.

What comes to mind when you think of summer vacation?

The ocean!

Fireworks festival!

And more than two months of free time.

Before the students could even get excited, Hiratsuka Shizuka crossed her arms and sneered twice.

"Hmph, don't be so happy yet."

"This final exam is a little different."

Hiratsuka Shizuka placed her hands on the podium, scanned the students of Class 1-A, and slowly began to speak, word by word.

"This final exam will be jointly set by our Zongwu High School and the private Xiuzhi Academy."

"Then, the first-year students from both sides took the exam at the same time in the same exam room."

"This will determine the winner."

Most students were stunned when they heard the name of the private Shujiwon Academy.

When they heard Hiratsuka Shizuka's last four words, "The outcome is decided," almost everyone was completely dumbfounded.

"No, has the school gone mad?"

"That's Shuchiin Academy..."

"Why bother with a winner or loser? Just surrender and admit defeat."

"Isn't this self-humiliating?"

.......

As the students discussed the matter, they couldn't help but turn their gaze to the two people in the classroom.

A small portion of the gaze fell on Yukino Yukinoshita.

After all, the other person was second in the grade in terms of overall academic performance.

Most of the attention, however, was focused on Ye Xing, who was sleeping on the king's throne by the window in the back row.

First in the grade.

It's hard to say for older students.

However, through the spring exams, the students of Zongwu High School all gained a certain understanding.

Yoruichi is the strongest student in the first year of Soubu High School.

Moreover, he was far ahead of everyone else, ranking first in all three subjects and was the strongest.

If we're really talking about holding a joint exam with the private Shujiwon Academy...

Only these two people have even the slightest chance of winning, right?

"Anyway..."

Looking at the students of Class A who were whispering amongst themselves and had absolutely no confidence, Hiratsuka Shizuka could only sigh helplessly.

There's no way around it.

If the students heard what she just said and showed a determined look on their faces, then the problem would be truly serious.

I suggest you get a psychiatric evaluation.

After all, their opponent in this joint exam is the unyielding private Shuchiin Academy, which is hailed as the cradle of future talents in Sakura Province.

Although Zongwu High School is a decent school, it's not even in the same league as the behemoth opposite them.

The school administration of Soubu High School wasn't foolish enough to harbor the naive and fearless idea that they could surpass Shuchiin High School in terms of average score.

They didn't even place their hopes on Yukino Yukinoshita, who was second in the grade.

Only Ye Xing, who has achieved first place in the joint entrance exam, has any hope of defeating the private Shuchiin Academy.

The Zongwu High School has placed all its bets on him alone.

.......

During lunch break.

"It's finally over, it was so tough."

Rio Futaba, who had already transferred to Class A, couldn't help but retort when she heard Yohoshi say those words.

"What's so hard about it? Didn't you sleep all morning?"

"Hey, you can't say that."

Ye Xing waved his hand in a serious manner.

"I'm racking my brains to figure out the future plans for Overload Company, not sleeping."

Rio Futaba asked curiously upon hearing this.

"So what did you figure out?"

Yohoshi looked directly into Rio Futaba's eyes and replied with a light laugh.

"For the sake of the future of the Superpower Company, next time I visit your home, please wear a maid outfit and call me Master."

Upon hearing this, Rio Futaba blushed and lowered her voice.

"Don't talk nonsense. This is school. Okay, I'm not going to chat with you anymore. I'll wait for you in the activity room."

Meanwhile, Touma Kazusa was looking forward to the most anticipated part of her day after arriving at school.

She lay face down on the small pillow, her arms seemingly blocking her view of the surroundings, burying her head deep in it like an ostrich.

Actually.

Touma Kazusa was secretly observing Yosei sitting next to her through the gap in her arm.

"Touma, wake up."

Yohoshi stood up and patted Touma Kazusa on the shoulder.

That's right.

This is the part that Touma Kazusa looks forward to most every day when she arrives at school.

Night Star's wake-up service.

Usually, Touma Kazusa would pretend to have just woken up, rubbing her eyes and lifting her head.

Only this time...

Touma Kazusa quickly raised her head, a cold glint flashing in her delicate, slender eyes as she stared directly at Yohoshi's face and said softly.

Why don't you come to my house?

Ye Xing showed no surprise at this sudden question, only an expression of knowing it was true.

"Heh, I knew it, you're just pretending to be asleep every day."

Being so bluntly exposed, Touma Kazusa blushed slightly.

But her main strength is her stubbornness.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm asking you, why don't you come to my house?"

Night Star calmly countered with a question.

What would I do at your house? Can your cat do backflips?

"Um... I don't have a cat at home."

Touma Kazusa paused for a moment, as if searching for an excuse, before finally speaking.

"Come to my house...come to my house to practice playing, that's right! Didn't you promise me last time that you would practice with me?"

"I haven't had any free time lately."
