A supporting character in a romance anime? I became a god using a rat talisman.

It sniffed, and its confidence instantly returned.

"That's right! Did you hear that! I am a one-of-a-kind sealed beast! You, a defective product from some shady factory, stop being so arrogant! Yue is definitely ten thousand times stronger than you!"

Kaguya felt a great sense of pleasure watching the two people, one human and one beast, united in their hatred of the enemy.

"That's really good."

She clapped her hands gently.

"I thought you were a cold-blooded animal who only knew how to benefit yourself, but I didn't expect you to have such a protective side."

"Isn't the so-called 'protecting one's own' just about protecting what one owns?"

Kazama Chiba replied expressionlessly.

"Even if it's a piece of junk, it's my junk, and it's none of anyone else's business to tell me what to do."

While they were arguing, Kazama Chiba's mind had already pieced together all the previous clues.

His initial act of forcibly activating the Clow Cards with the Rat Talisman had clearly alarmed Clow Reed.

The reason why the Clow Cards were able to operate independently from the Rat Talisman was most likely because Clow Reed secretly gave them official recognition behind the scenes.

Then Chiyu directly asked Kaguya why she had come.

"So what? You called me here today to take back the cards for that old guy?"

"No no no."

Kaguya shook her head, her long, slender finger tracing circles on the rim of her wine glass.

“Since you’ve already won those cards through your own skill, they’re your private property. I’m a reasonable person and I won’t do anything so tasteless.”

"I am here not for the past, but for the future."

"future?"

"Yes."

Kaguya withdrew her hand, her expression turning serious at that moment.

"Waiting for that moment in the future."

"The final...judgment."

"Trial?!"

Xiao Ke exclaimed in surprise. As a Sun Beast, he obviously knew this, and fearing that Qian Yu wouldn't understand, he even gave a special explanation.

"The so-called trial is when all the Clow Cards are released from their seals, the Guardian, who is also known as Moon, will judge the candidates. Only by defeating the Guardian and gaining approval can one truly become the new master of the Clow Cards."

After saying that, it seemed to remember something, glanced at Chiyu, and then at Kaguya.

"But this guy only has four cards in his hand at most! Wind, Shadow, Illusion, and Mirror! He's still a long way from collecting them all! Isn't it a bit too hasty to put him on trial now? What kind of game puts you up against the final boss right at the start?"

“That’s right. According to the rules, the trial can only be held last. I really can’t lay a hand on you now.”

"But that doesn't stop me from teasing you a bit."

Kazama Chiba:.........

You're really quite boring.

Chapter 34 Thunder Card

Kaguya smiled as she looked at his expression.

"But don't let your guard down. If the trial fails, you'll still die."

Faced with this death notice that was practically stuck to his forehead

Kazama Chiba simply nodded thoughtfully.

But beneath that calm exterior, he was practically bursting with laughter inside.

Does this woman have some misunderstanding about what he has up his sleeve?

So you're treating this like a female-oriented site?

Not to mention the rat talisman he was holding, if used properly, it could revive a bunch of characters meant to be suicide bombers.

Cthulhu, Warhammer 4000, Leaf Rot.....

And just considering the other eleven talismans that haven't been obtained yet...

For example, a dog or a horse, either one can be used to wear down the opponent.

More importantly, what are the preconditions for the final trial?

It's about collecting all the Clow Cards.

This means that as long as he deliberately leaves a few Clow Cards, the so-called trial will never be triggered.

For example, some Clow Cards are completely useless and will not cause any harm to society.

For example, light signs and sound signs.

He wouldn't even take this useless card if it were given to Qianyu; he might as well just leave it outside.

Therefore, it seemed a bit foolish of Kaguya to reveal herself prematurely, because if she hadn't brought up the trial, Chiba might have continued to collect all the cards due to his obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Now that she's mentioned it, Qianyu won't do it.

As long as I don't hand in my paper, you can never fail me.

Seeing Kaguya's confident expression, as if she had everything under control, Chiba almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

But you can't laugh; you have to hold it in. If the other person notices something's wrong, things will go wrong.

So Kazama Chiba suppressed the urge to smile and put on a somber expression of being "deeply shocked and reflecting," her tone as heavy as if she had just learned that she would be going to a construction site to move bricks the next day.

"I see."

"It seems I really have no way out. Thank you for reminding me, teacher, that I understand the seriousness of the situation."

"Since it's all for survival, I'll definitely do my best. After all, I value my life too."

Although the performance was a bit exaggerated, it was still passable.

Although she couldn't see through Chiba's inner thoughts, Kaguya still sensed something was off about his attitude.

Kazama Chiba's emotions were far too calm.

That calmness didn't seem like resignation, but rather like she was scheming about something that displeased her.

"Humph."

She gave a soft hum, picked up her glass, and casually took a sip of the clear Daiginjo sake.

"It's all sweet talk."

"But from what I've observed, ever since you got that little lion, your work efficiency has been shockingly low. You're either playing house with those girls at school or running around doing pointless club stuff."

"You're basically just waiting for those cards to fall into your lap. If I don't come knocking, are you planning to wait until the next century to collect them?"

"I understand that people are inherently lazy."

Kaguya said with a half-smile:

"But now that you're under my observation, that passive-aggressive attitude is going to bore me."

"That is a problem."

After hearing this, Kazama Chiba naturally picked up the conversation.

Kaguya's words were not wrong; he had indeed been a bit lax lately, doing some trivial things.

Now that we have the Clow Cards as our basic fighting force, perhaps it's time to use the Rat Talisman to summon some powerful anime characters to expand our military.

Just as he was envisioning a grand future in his mind.

Kaguya's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"So, in order to make your lazy brain work a little faster, the teacher has decided to help you speed things up."

"Snapped."

She clapped her hands lightly.

The moment the sound faded, the light in the entire private room seemed to be forcibly distorted by some force.

The dim, ambiguous lighting suddenly disappeared, replaced by a blinding, intense blue electric light.

A crackling sound of electricity filled the air, and the distinctive ozone smell of high-voltage electricity instantly overpowered the aroma of alcohol and food.

"Hey! That's cheating!"

Kero jumped up in fright, pointing at Kaguya and questioning her about why she didn't follow the rules.

"As an invigilator, you actually got involved and took action yourself! This is a violation of regulations! I'm going to report you to Clow Reed!"

Hehe. You're making a fuss over nothing.

Kaguya sat in the center of the lightning, a mocking smile on her exquisite face, not a single hair out of place.

“I didn’t lay a hand on it; it came to me on its own.”

She pointed to the door of the private room.

Kazama Chiba squinted, braving the blinding electric light, and reached out to open the sliding door.

The corridor outside the door is no longer the lively, bustling passageway of the izakaya.

There stood a wild beast.

A ferocious beast whose body is made of blue lightning and whose appearance is similar to a wolf or some kind of feline.

Its four limbs sizzled on the wooden floor, leaving charred marks at every point of contact. Its white, pupil-less eyes stared intently at the two people inside the private room.

"Thunder... Thunder Card?"

Xiao Ke let out a surprised gasp that was distorted in tone.

"This is one of the most powerful cards in terms of attack power! How could it be here?!"

"Of course I called them."
