In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

Xia Mu broke his "promise" to himself last night. Seeing that the students were in danger, he finally chose to take action!

As he spoke, he clenched his fist, and the cross necklace seemed to sense Xia Mu's feelings, bursting out with dazzling light in an instant!

hum-

Under the radiant light, the environment, which had been darkened by the red-clad female ghost, crumbled away in an instant, revealing the toilet as it had been before.

Even the red-clad female ghost reacted strongly under the golden light. She roared and raised her hand to block the golden light, but white smoke still rose from her body.

"Roar!!!"

The female ghost in red suddenly roared at Xia Mu, then turned and disappeared into the wall, seemingly preparing to escape!

Because of what happened last night, Xia Mu knew that the golden light of the cross necklace seemed to have a great restraining effect on ghosts, so when he noticed the red-clothed female ghost's movements, he rushed over directly!

pat!

Because Xia Mu reacted quickly, before the red-clothed female ghost's body had completely disappeared into the wall, he grabbed her arm and pulled her out from inside!

At the same time, golden light surged from Xia Mu's fist again, holy light condensed, bringing unimaginable power. He directly swung his fist and smashed it heavily into the face of the red-clothed female ghost!

boom!

A terrifying blow slammed the red-clad female ghost against the wall!

"Roar!!!"

Intense golden light continuously "burned" the red-clad female ghost's body, and Xia Mu heard her roar. He didn't let his guard down, but instead pressed his fist firmly against her face.

Finally, accompanied by a sonic boom that resounded from the depths of the soul, the red-clad female ghost in front of them vanished into thin air.

Xia Mu's fist continued to smash forward, unleashing terrifying power that left a dented crater.

Click, click...

The next second, spiderweb-like cracks spread outwards from the center of the fist, and in no time, they covered the entire wall!

pat!

Xia Mu withdrew his fist, and the shattered stones fell with a clatter. He looked at the wall in front of him, then at the smooth surface of his fist, and couldn't help but secretly click his tongue in amazement.

He hadn't expected the holy light to be so incredibly powerful!

This level of destructive power is far more terrifying than that of boxing champions like Mike Tyson in his previous life; it's practically a superhuman existence!

In other words, if he doesn't want to be a teacher anymore, maybe he can become a boxer in the future?

Xia Mu thought about it seriously.

However, the next second, fatigue washed over him like a tidal wave, and the side effects of using the Holy Light began to show, so he immediately abandoned this naive idea.

As expected, using any unconventional power comes at a price!

Suddenly, he noticed a strange object on the ground. He picked it up and found it to be a thumb-sized crystal that emitted a faint purple glow.

"This thing looks like it was dropped by that guy..."

Before Xia Mu could react, the cross necklace burst into light again, and the purple crystal detached from his hand, only to be absorbed into the necklace the next second.

At the same time, a memory surfaced in Xia Mu's mind; he saw a certain fragment—

A student who looked somewhat similar to the female ghost from earlier died of a sudden heart attack in the toilet. His body wasn't discovered until several days later when the stench of his corpse spread.

Because after she died, she heard mostly the voices of female students. After becoming a vengeful ghost, she indiscriminately attacked girls who went to the toilet, which led to the frequent disappearances of female students in the toilet.

So, is this the reason you harm people?

Xia Mu thought to himself with a strange expression.

On the other side, when he came to his senses, golden liquid rose from the bead in the middle of the cross, only stopping when it occupied a third of the space, and a warm power emanated from his chest.

Under the influence of that power, his body not only gradually recovered, but he also vaguely felt that the holy light he could use seemed to have become stronger!

"Hey! This is a good thing!"

Natsuki was pleasantly surprised and was about to study the changes in his body again when Sayuri's exclamation suddenly came from behind him.

"Teacher Xia Mu! You...you...you...what exactly are you?!"

He turned his head and saw Sayuri staring at him in surprise, her eyes wide and her mouth covered.

"Why are you being so strange? Look closely, I'm just like you, a human being! A human being!"

Natsuki emphasized the word "human," but Sayuri still couldn't believe it: "But...you just...clearly..."

"Actually, what you just saw was all an illusion! Ever heard of a mirage? The red-clad female ghost and all that stuff, it's all fake!"

"..."

Looking at Natsuki's serious expression, Sayuri's forehead creased with annoyance. Suddenly, she pointed at the damaged wall behind him, her expression agitated: "What hallucination! Natsuki-sensei, don't treat people like idiots, okay? You clearly just now..."

"Ahem, on another note—"

Before she could finish speaking, Xia Mu coughed lightly: "Compared to that kind of thing, I think I should remind you... Sayuri-kun, your panties..."

Upon hearing this, Sayuri subconsciously looked down and realized that not only her panties, but also her skirt had inadvertently slipped down to her knees...

In other words, from the moment she left until now, she has been...

"what!!!!!!"

This time, Sayuri shouted even louder, but Natsuki merely scratched his ear, his expression quite calm:

"Your teacher, Xia Mu, wouldn't be interested in a little brat who hasn't even developed yet! Besides—"

He paused, his expression solemn: "What about the homework you promised? If it's not handed in today, I'm going to..."

Enraged, Sayuri took off her shoes and threw them at him: "Turn around, you perverted teacher!!!"

"Wait, no—"

boom!

……

Chapter 6 Fiancée?

On the road at night.

A girl with pigtails wearing a school uniform was walking next to a man with short white hair, chattering incessantly with questions.

Although Sayuri felt a little embarrassed because of the panties incident, she did not forget that the man in front of her had saved her from the clutches of the evil spirit!

At the same time, as a girl who is quite interested in supernatural phenomena, the appearance of Teacher Natsuki undoubtedly piqued her interest!

And so—

"Teacher Xia Mu, could you tell me how you obtained that power?"

"..."

"Teacher Xia Mu, could you be an alien from outer space?"

"..."

"Teacher Xia Mu, I know now. You wouldn't happen to be the future lover who has crossed my destiny with me, would you?"

Just now, Natsuki was worried that Sayuri might develop psychological trauma because of this incident, but her nonchalant attitude surprised him.

At this point, he finally couldn't hold back and slapped the other person on the back of the head.

The seemingly rough action, though not very forceful, still made Sayuri stumble.

"I'm telling you, stop this now! What do you mean by aliens and lovers! The only reason I saved you is because you're my student, do you hear me?"

"Waaah, I know, okay...?"

Sayuri covered the back of her head, shrinking back like a little white rabbit, looking timidly at Natsuki, afraid that he would get angry again.

But turning her head, when she noticed that Xia Mu had returned to her previous expression, she couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Teacher Xia Mu, do you think the red-clad female ghost that just appeared was also an alien?"

"..."

This time, Xia Mu simply ignored it.

He was reflecting on the events of the day.

The appearance of the red-clad female ghost undoubtedly served as a wake-up call for Xia Mu!

Besides Ichiro Nakamura, there were other dangerous ghosts. If I hadn't appeared in time, Sayuri would probably have disappeared like the previous female students.

They have not yet appeared, and the fate of the female student is self-evident; she must have been harmed by the red-clothed female ghost!

Even if the cross necklace hadn't existed, he might have become one of the victims. He hadn't forgotten the helpless scene when he first encountered the ghost, when he was "crying out to heaven and earth but getting no response"!

Thinking of this, Xia Mu couldn't help but tighten the necklace around her neck, as if only in this way could she give herself a little sense of security.

As for the purple crystal, Xia Mu was quite certain that it appeared out of thin air after the red-clothed female ghost was eliminated.

Furthermore, how could something be considered ordinary when it was absorbed by the necklace?

More importantly, Xia Mu vaguely sensed that after the necklace absorbed the purple crystal, the holy light was strengthened to a certain extent, and he also gained new abilities!

Although he hadn't yet tested the new ability, it had already sparked a strong desire in Xia Mu to explore it. The secret of this cross necklace was clearly more profound than he had imagined.

Perhaps with the intake of more purple crystals, I might obtain more "keys" to unlocking the necklace. However, it seems inevitable that I will absorb some "irrelevant" memories during the process...

As they walked, Natsuki noticed that Sayuri hadn't followed, so she turned around and asked, "What's wrong with you? Have you been possessed by an alien?"

"Thank you, Ms. Xia Mu."

Sayuri suddenly bowed deeply to Natsuki before raising her head. Her delicate face was unknowingly covered with tears, but a bright smile appeared on her lips.

"...If it weren't for Teacher Xia Mu, I would never have been able to stay by my mother's side. For my mother, who has already lost someone important, this is the most terrible blow in the world!"

"Thank you so much, Teacher Xia Mu!"

After she finished speaking, she prepared to bow again, but two strong hands grabbed her shoulders. Sayuri looked up in confusion and saw a gentle face as always.

"As my student, it is my duty to save you. If you need anything, you can come to me anytime, and I will definitely come!"

"Teacher Xia Mu..."

Sayuri started sobbing again, and Natsuki gently stroked her head with very tender movements until he heard her voice again, at which point he abruptly stopped!
