The all-powerful middle schooler

Congratulations, you've won! One more bottle for you!

Just as Sanae Tokomori took out her drink, the machine emitted a pleasant electronic female voice, and another bottle of drink fell out.

Izumi Hasegawa reached out and took it out.

Congratulations, you've won! One more bottle for you!

The machine suddenly broadcast the message again, followed by another loud bang.

"Is this the power of a spell? This is amazing, death!"

Sanae Tokomori looked incredulous, then spoke excitedly.

Rikka Takanashi blushed slightly and casually took out the last bottle of drink.

At this point, the vending machine stopped making any further noise.

"It seems that the power of the spell is also limited."

She was talking nonsense in a serious manner.

At this moment, the two appeared even more unfathomable in Dekomori's eyes.

After they leave.

"This machine is definitely bugged! Great opportunity!"

A female student who had secretly witnessed the scene came over, her expression revealing her excitement, and also tossed in a coin.

However, she didn't manage to get any money out of the vending machine; instead, her coins seemed to disappear without a trace, and the machine didn't respond at all.

"Where's my money! Give me back my money!"

She kicked the machine hard and left in a huff.

……

The three people were walking on the street.

"Hiccup~ Hmm, magic surged up from my body. As expected of the magic recovery potion secretly hidden by the Bureau, it's very effective... Sage, what do you plan to do next? Is it Fujiwara-kun and Mori Summer?"

After taking a sip of her drink, Rikka Takanashi muttered something to herself and then turned to ask a question.

Based on her understanding of Izumi's interpersonal relationships, she naturally made inferences.

"Master, what are you saying? Mori Summer?"

Before he could reply, Sanae Dekomori reacted strongly upon hearing the name.

"Do you know this name, Tokomori?"

Hanase Izumi let out a soft exclamation.

Based on the other party's behavior, he had a vague idea in his mind.

The technique used in the battle just now was something he seemed to have heard about from Mori Summer, and it was said that it took him a whole week to create.

"Of course I know about death! Besides Master, Mori Summer is the person I respect the most... Ah, that was before I met the Sage!"

Sanae Tokomori added some further explanation as she spoke.

She continued speaking.

"Because Mori Summer once answered my questions about parallel worlds in the Sea of ​​Electronics, and she is also the ancient sorcerer who wrote the Dark Codex, the contents of which I often review and have benefited greatly from..."

29. The Dark Codex

"The Dark Scripture, is it?"

The name "Hasegawa Izumi" sounds strangely familiar.

Ah, right!

It seems to be a magic book called "The Dark Bible".

Clearly, these two are only similar in name and have no actual connection.

"Does the wise man find anything amiss?"

Rikka Takanashi noticed the strangeness in his expression.

"Ah, it's nothing, I just remembered a magic book with a similar name, called 'The Dark Bible'."

He didn't hide it.

"The Dark Bible? Could it be a higher-level magic book?"

The clues can be made from the name Rikka Takanashi.

In the context of ordinary people, there is almost no difference between "经" (jing) and "典" (dian). However, in reality, "经" is given a higher level in the recitation of classics, representing more profound wisdom and cultural heritage, while "典" focuses on the accumulation of knowledge and the recording of history.

"Could the Dark Bible be Mori Summer's true masterpiece, a work she poured her heart and soul into? Does it contain her ancient wisdom and even more powerful magic? No wonder the Dark Bible mostly records Mori Summer's daily experiences, with little in-depth analysis of magic. To be able to create a classic like this, perhaps Mori Summer is even more powerful than Dekomori imagined!"

At that moment, it was only natural for Sanae Tokomori, as an admirer, to make the connection.

However, he soon shattered this unnecessary fantasy.

"No, I can assure you, the two are unrelated, because the Dark Bible tells of..."

He paused, hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "More chaotic and dark magic, which is fundamentally different from Mori Summer. As for more specific details, you don't need to ask anymore, I'm not very clear about it either."

He used this sentence to stop the girls from asking any more questions.

After all, that kind of knowledge can corrupt the soul.

"I see, so it's a 'taboo'?"

Rikka Takanashi and Sanae Dekomori exchanged a glance, their expressions turning serious as they understood something.

The topic returned.

“Sage, are you sure that guy named Dansuke is Mori Summer? It’s not that I don’t believe it, it’s just that Mori Summer is very important to me.”

"I speak with a sincere expression," said Sanae Tokomori.

"Then, go and see for yourself."

Hanesegawa Izumi's tone was cheerful.

He sensed that an opportunity had arrived.

Compared to her role as a guide, Dekomori seems to understand Mori Summer better and has a stronger bond with her.

"Then, this task is entrusted to you, Servant."

Rikka Takanashi patted Tokomaru on the shoulder and gave him some instructions.

"Leave it to me! Mori Summer is a great being, and Dekomori will never allow anyone to desecrate her. If she is real, that would be wonderful, but if she is fake, hehehehe..."

Sanae Tokomori's expression changed drastically, and she let out a sinister laugh.

"Ahhh~!"

At Shuchiin Academy, Nibutani Morika, who was training with the others while wearing a cheerleader uniform, sneezed.

"I have a bad feeling about this. What's wrong?"

When she finished her break and returned to the team for training, she suddenly heard her teammates discussing something.

"Have you heard? The soccer club has rejected Hasegawa's challenge because they don't have enough members."

"But what does that have to do with us? I don't care about those weirdos."

"Of course! Hasegawa has decided that the basketball team will be his next challenge!"

"Really? Are we going to have to play?"

Someone was worried.

Cheerleading is a sport that plays a role in cheering on athletes, and basketball is one of the most important sports clubs, so cheerleaders are naturally involved.

"Probably, since this matter has already become a hot topic, and the entire school is paying attention to it. We definitely need to go and make ourselves known."

The cheerleading captain answered quite naturally.

Otherwise, how could their cheerleading squad gain a greater sense of presence?

Upon hearing this, Nissouya Morika looked miserable.

The war has spread here so quickly?

Where can I escape to break free from this curse?!

What the girl didn't understand was that wherever there are people, there is a world of intrigue, and she couldn't avoid it.

Wednesday arrived.

During the lunch break, Hasegawa Izumi called Fujiwara Chika over.

"Is there something you need, Izumi-chan?"

Chika looked somewhat surprised, because she usually came over on her own initiative.

She didn't complain. Normally, she was lazy but serious, and she wouldn't visit unless there was a reason. That was Izumi's personality and way of doing things.

"Actually, I have something important to discuss with you. You probably already know, right? Our Far East Magic Club will be challenging the basketball club on Friday, but before that, we need to recruit five people, and we're currently short two. So... I'm thinking of inviting you, Chika. Is that alright?"

He hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question.

"Of course, if it's Izumi-chan's request."

Fujiwara Chika smiled radiantly and agreed without the slightest hesitation.

How innocent and naive the girl is!

"Won't that be too much of a strain? Imagine you're going to be fighting guys who are about the same height as Kawamura."

He deliberately threatened her, unwilling to let Qianhua's gentleness accommodate him.

"To be honest, it is a bit... scary!"

Fujiwara Chika recalled the scene of having to look up at the other person, feeling an immense pressure that made her unable to move and causing her heart to tremble.

"But it's okay, Izumi-chan will protect me!"

The girl's smile was still faint as she pointed to herself.

"I'll do it."

He made a guarantee.

"Hehehe, don't worry, Izumi-chan won't have to worry too much. Don't let my intellectual and innocent appearance fool you. I actually work out for 30 minutes every night before bed. I'm a low-carb, low-sugar girl. My muscles aren't weaker than the average guy's... Also, I'm pretty good at volleyball. Basketball is only a little more strenuous."

Fujiwara Chika placed her right hand on her chest, expressing her confidence.

"I might be able to spare some attention to protect Takanashi-san then."

She then looked at the little bird swimming.

"The True Eye of the Evil King has no need for the help of mere humans."

Feeling insulted, Rikka gave a cold reply.

……

Qianhua's invitation went surprisingly smoothly.

Next, only his old friend remained.

Hasegawa Izumi's gaze lingered near the stadium through the window.

"Mori Summer, the day of your true return is not far away..."

30 I'm already studying the opponents in the kendo club.

When get out of class ended, Nissouya Morika lay listlessly on the table, her eyes unfocused.

"Dansheng Valley, I feel like you've been a bit absent-minded these past couple of days, often spacing out. Could it be that you're thinking about men?"

Suddenly, Kazeno, a friend she knew from class, came to her ear and whispered something.

"Not at all!"

She slammed her hand on the table and immediately retorted.
