In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

"Phew, it seems that flying isn't as simple as I thought!"

Xia Mu patted his clothes, which had picked up some water droplets when he flew through the clouds. Luckily, it wasn't rain clouds, otherwise he might have been soaked to the bone and would have had to go back home.

While patting his clothes, Xia Mu walked towards the stairwell. After taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, turned around, and saw a girl staring blankly at him, the bread about to slip from her hand.

"Teacher Xia Mu?"

"Huh, if I remember correctly, your name is... Miyamoto-kun?"

As Xia Mu spoke, he recalled the information about Miyamoto Rei in his mind. He remembered that she was also a [Holy Artifact Holder]. He met her when he tried to erase the power of the Holy Light. In addition, Miyamoto Rei was also a member of the Tokyo Women's Volleyball Team. He remembered her as a girl with a very unique personality.

At the same time, he reached out and caught the bread that was about to slip from the other person's hand, and then reminded him with a smile, "Don't be distracted when you're eating!"

"Huh?!?!"

Only then did the girl seem to react, quickly grabbing the bread that Natsuki offered, bowing repeatedly in gratitude: "Thank you, Miyamoto will remember what Natsuki-sensei said!"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Xia Mu's face. Although it wasn't the first time she had seen him, the blush on the girl's cheeks betrayed her thoughts.

Looking at Natsuki-sensei up close, he seems even more handsome than I imagined. And those wings from earlier... no wonder he's the most perfect man in Tokyo Academy!

As for Miyamoto Rei, having witnessed Shiroshima's battles with demons multiple times, she had long been mentally prepared for such phenomena that defied science. However, every time she saw Natsuki, she couldn't help but feel her heart race. After all, a mature and charming man like him was quite irresistible to a teenage girl like Miyamoto Rei!

"Uh-huh!"

Xia Mu nodded in satisfaction, then asked, "By the way, since last time, has Miyamoto-kun done anything else...?"

He still remembered that when he and Sayuri and the others encountered a crisis in Shibuya, Shirashima and Rika also engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy to protect another [Holy Relic Holder]. The girl who was rescued at that time was none other than Miyamoto Rei in front of him.

Because the other party's soul already bears the mark of holy light, Xia Mu can only leave the [Holy Artifact] in Miyamoto Rei's hands for the time being. She has not yet awakened the state of holy light. Although Shiroshima has done her best to protect it, Xia Mu still subconsciously cares about the other party's current situation.

Seemingly understanding the meaning behind Natsuki's words, Miyamoto Rei quickly recounted her experiences over the past few days. Fortunately, after defeating the forbidden demon [Deep Sea], the Illuminati's operations seemed to have temporarily ceased, and they did not send any demons to attack, which reassured Natsuki.

He took out his phone, which showed eight o'clock, and reminded the girl, "Miyamoto-san, class is about to start, so I'll head out first. Don't be late!"

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving the girl staring blankly at his departing figure. Only after Xia Mu had completely walked down the stairs did the girl lower her head, a faint blush appearing on her face.

"Teacher Xia Mu... he really... has a lot of charm..."

Chapter 193 Rumors

"...one two three four...two two three four...three two three four..."

As soon as Xia Mu arrived at the office, he heard a familiar voice coming from inside. He pushed open the door and saw a dark-skinned physical education teacher inside, panting heavily as he did some exercise.

"Good morning, Mr. Peter."

As Xia Mu greeted them, she also recalled—

In the previous Shibuya incident, Peter, like everyone else, not only became an innocent victim but also ended up in the hospital due to his serious injuries!

Unexpectedly, just one day later, the other party reappeared, and was back to his energetic self.

Such terrifying energy and spirit made Xia Mu feel a little admiration. At least in the past, he would never have been able to recover from his injuries in such a short time...

"Oh, Ms. Natsuki is here?"

Peter, as was his habit, greeted Natsuki, stopping what he was doing and scratching his head with an embarrassed expression: "I'll have to trouble you to cover my get out of class again today, Natsuki-sensei..."

The substitute teacher he was referring to was the two physical education classes in the afternoon.

Because in the previous Shibuya incident, besides Peter himself, his mother was also hospitalized. She didn't have Peter's terrifying constitution. Although she was out of danger, she still needed some time to recover. So she invited Natsuki to take her class. Anyway, in Japan, the content of physical education classes is not complicated. For Natsuki, who is also physically excellent, it was quite easy to teach.

"It's nothing, Mr. Peter, it was just something I did on the side..."

Xia Mu responded with a smile, while also thinking about how to find time to visit Peter's mother in the hospital and use the power of holy light to heal her injuries. After all, it seemed that Peter's condition in the Shibuya incident was somewhat related to her.

In fact, after defeating the forbidden demon, Natsuki began to rescue the survivors present. Unfortunately, due to the large number of victims, even after "draining" Mai's power, only a small portion could be saved. Furthermore, the arrival of the military forced Natsuki and the others to leave in haste.

He understood perfectly well that this was not an anime or movie. If he and his group were full of energy while the victims were wailing in agony, even if they were trying to save them, it would still arouse suspicion. Not to mention that the instigator had already been defeated, and if they were arrested, it would be impossible to explain.

By now, although Xia Mu and the others have reached an inhuman level under the current circumstances, they still live in the real world. As "ordinary people," they naturally do not want to confront the power of the country, so leaving and hiding their identities is the first choice.

Of course, the most important thing is that if he, Sayuri, and the others were captured by the government, the consequences for them would be predictable and probably not optimistic. They might even be dissected and their Holy Light power studied.

Fortunately, the black fog at the time could shield electronic devices to some extent. Shibuya, which was completely surrounded, had its electronic devices completely paralyzed. Otherwise, Natsuki and the others' faces would have been exposed long ago, and this peaceful life might not have existed at all!

However, speaking of Mai...

Xia Mu's gaze fell on the seat reserved for someone, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes.

Shortly after the incident, Mai received a business trip assignment from Tokyo Academy. As a renowned teacher at the academy, she was assigned to study at another academy. Although it was only for a few days, Natsuki couldn't help but think of someone's figure and the other person's parting words, which made him smile.

"Ha ha……"

"...Ms. Natsuki, what are you looking at? If I remember correctly, the first class this morning was a psychology class, wasn't it?"

Peter's reminder finally brought Xia Mu's attention back. He checked the time; there were still a few minutes before class. He simply picked up his books and headed to the classroom, not forgetting to wave goodbye as he did so: "Oh, by the way, Mr. Peter, remember to throw away those love letters on my desk later, you know what I mean~"

"Alright, alright..."

Peter muttered something, and after Xia Mu had completely left, he glanced at the sky outside the window, his brows suddenly furrowing. He muttered to himself in a voice only he could hear, "Why..."

On the other side, Xia Mu walked to the classroom shortly after coming out. As soon as she passed the back door, she heard a series of discussions coming from inside.

"...Look, everyone, the latest news is out! There are so many dead and injured, oh my..."

"I'm not seeing things, am I? This number is absolutely outrageous!"

"Luckily, I didn't go to Shibuya at the time. I heard that a classmate from the next class was nearby when the incident happened and still hasn't been able to come back to school. It's really scary..."

"Is that so...?"

"..."

Listening to their discussion, Xia Mu wasn't puzzled. After all, such a serious incident had occurred, and even if the authorities intended to downplay its impact, it still managed to spread quietly.

Especially among students, one terrifying rumor after another has emerged, and Xia Mu has heard similar claims more than once.

So he opened the back door, moved closer to a student, and muttered to himself, "Speaking of which, I remember that student just slipped and fell, and it's nothing serious. He's expected to be back soon. This rumor is a bit far-fetched!"

"Is that so? Why didn't I hear that..."

One of the students looked puzzled, but as soon as he looked up, he saw that the student in front of him had a drastic change in expression, turned his head away, and pretended to be listening to the lesson seriously.

"No way……"

He then realized something, mechanically turned his head, and sure enough, saw a white-haired man smiling at him and raising his hand: "Excuse me, isn't it normal to use your phone during class?"

"No, Teacher Natsuki—"

The student let out a groan, but still had no choice but to obediently hand over the phone. Fortunately, Xia Mu only glanced at the contents before handing the phone back.

"Put it away. It won't be so easy to handle next time. Also, as a student, you need to be able to judge these kinds of rumors. If you rely too much on what you see in front of you, you might be blinded to the real reality!"

After saying that, he walked straight forward, and all eyes turned into hearts as they focused on Xia Mu's back. The student looked at his phone and replied blankly, "Understood, Teacher Xia Mu."

Chapter 194 New Member Joins!

In reality, the aftermath of the Shibuya incident has been much weaker than Natsuki had imagined.

At least in the history of the island nation, there have been many natural disasters similar to or even exceeding them. However, apart from those who experienced them firsthand, only some rumors have spread in modern society, and the impact on the island nation has not been particularly serious.

Part of the reason for this may be related to the fact that those who experienced it firsthand lost some of their memories, and there is also the factor of deliberate control by the government. A certain change that Xia Mu could not explain suddenly appeared around him, giving him a feeling that a storm was brewing.

However, when the bell rang, Xia Mu quickly focused his attention on the class in front of him. He snapped his textbook shut and gave everyone his usual gentle smile: "Alright, that's all for today's class. Thank you all for your hard work. Class dismissed."

The words had barely left his mouth—

"Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Natsuki!!!"

"Ah, I can't take it anymore! It's that smile that makes my heart flutter every time I see it. When I grow up, I'm definitely going to marry Teacher Xia Mu!"

"That despicable woman, daring to steal my future husband! She's got a death wish! Just you wait..."

"..."

The classroom was as noisy as ever. Xia Mu smiled and shook his head, heading straight for his office. He had just taken one step when a girl with twin ponytails suddenly appeared before him: "Teacher Xia Mu!!!"

"Sayuri?"

He had barely recognized her when Sayuri grabbed his hand and started running, yelling, "There's no time to explain! Natsuki-sensei, come with me! We're going to be late!!!"

"Ok?"

Seemingly sensing the other's anxiety, Natsuki frowned, but still obediently let Sayuri lead her to run in a certain direction.

The students in the classroom behind them seemed to realize something and suddenly exclaimed, "Help! It seems that our teacher, Xia Mu, has been kidnapped by students from another class!"

……

The scene shifts, and Natsuki has arrived in the activity room. Sayuri, panting, wipes the sweat from her forehead and puts her hands on her hips, saying, "Phew, finally brought Natsuki-sensei here!"

"Teacher Xia Mu!"

"Hello, Teacher Xia Mu!"

"Xia Mu...Teacher...hello..."

Three girls' voices came from in front of him, from left to right: Rika, Shirashima, and the timid Rei Miyamoto. Natsuki responded to each one, then looked at Sayuri and asked with a strange expression, "Is this what you called... an emergency?"

Sayuri nodded emphatically, went straight to Rei Miyamoto's side, pulled her to her feet, and shouted in a loud voice, "Although it's a bit late, please allow me to introduce to everyone our Holy Light Team's newest member, Rei Miyamoto!"

Reiya Miya bowed, facing Natsuki. Because of her school uniform, she inadvertently showed off her impressive curves. The subtle cleavage was enough to make people's imaginations run wild. Even Natsuki, who accidentally caught a glimpse of her, couldn't help but mutter to himself, "These days, high school students are developing way too well."

"Ms. Natsuki, Sayuri, Shirashima, and Rika, although I don't know what happened, Rei Miyamoto will definitely do her best and live up to your expectations!"

She clenched her fists, trying to imitate Sayuri, and laughed heartily with her hands on her hips. But when she saw the speechless expressions on the three people's faces, her face immediately turned red.

Shiroshima sighed, pulled Miyamoto Rei back to sit down, and complained to Sayuri, "Hey Sayuri, Miyamoto Rei hasn't even agreed yet, how could you..."

Sayuri snorted and crossed her arms, further emphasizing her already impressive breasts, especially the top buttons, which seemed ready to slip off at any moment. But she seemed oblivious, continuing to speak to herself:

"So what? Anyway, the Holy Light power within Miyamoto Rei can't be erased. If she doesn't stay with us, she'll easily run into those terrifying guys in the future. Can Miyamoto Rei really accept that?"

Upon hearing this, Miyamoto Rei trembled and said, "No, please! I'll join, okay? Waaah..."

The scene of the terrifying ghost's appearance seemed still vivid in the girl's mind; a trace of fear lingered in her eyes, and her body trembled uncontrollably as she spoke. Seeing this, Natsuki stepped forward, tapped Sayuri's head, and made her cry out as she sat down. Then he went to Miyamoto Rei's side and spoke gently:

"No problem, as long as we are united, no matter what dangerous enemy we face, Teacher Xia Mu will definitely defeat them. Don't worry!"
