Chapter 99 Searching for the Core

On the other side, Katsuragi and his team are trapped in the dream carefully woven by Chabashira-sensei. They have been walking for a long time but still cannot find a way out.

The surrounding scenery kept changing, sometimes resembling a familiar campus, and sometimes turning into a strange foreign land, making it impossible for them to distinguish between reality and illusion, and also impossible to find any clues to escape.

Ge Cheng frowned; he knew he couldn't continue walking aimlessly like this.

He decided to stop, close his eyes, and begin trying to use his special abilities to decipher the dream.

The core of supernatural ability analysis is, of course, analyzing and understanding complex structures. In dreams, this means that he can try to decipher the structure and logic of illusions and find the key to breaking them.

Katsuragi took a deep breath, and his mental energy began to spread through the dream, trying to capture the core of the dream.

He could sense that the structure of dreams was more complex and varied than the material world in reality. Although his superpowers were strong, he could not unleash their full potential in this illusory environment.

His mental energy explored the dream world, as if searching for order in chaos.

He could sense a faint light emanating from the core of the dream somewhere, but whenever he tried to approach it, the light would vanish like a phantom, making it impossible for him to lock onto it.

Sweat beaded on Katsuragi's forehead. He tried to use his mental energy in the dream, but each time it was like fighting against thin air, unable to grasp anything substantial.

Although his special ability allowed him to barely find the core of the dream, he couldn't find a way to break it.

He knew that Chabashira-sensei's dream was not a simple illusion, but a complex mental construct.

It not only simulated sight and hearing, but even touch and smell were mimicked with remarkable realism. This made his ability analysis even more difficult, as he couldn't distinguish between real clues and dream traps.

Katsuragi stopped the futile search. He opened his eyes and looked around. His teammates also showed expressions of exhaustion and confusion.

“We need to unite and fight this illusion together,” Katsuragi told his teammates. “Each person’s ability could be the key to breaking this dream. We must trust and support each other.”

His teammates nodded. They formed a circle, each pushing their abilities to the limit, trying to find a flaw in the dream.

They began to try different strategies. Some tried to directly impact the structure of the dream with force, while others tried to penetrate the depths of the dream with mental power to find its weaknesses.

Finally, it was Katsuragi who was the first to confirm the core of the dream.

He stood before a strange forget-me-not, its petals only two, emitting a faint glow, as if it were the source of the entire dream. He knew that this flower was the core of the dream, the focal point of Teacher Chabashira's spiritual power.

Shigeru Takemoto looked at the flower, a resolute glint in his eyes. He decided to destroy the flower directly to break free from the shackles of the dream.

His reasoning was simple: direct, swift, and effective. But Katsuragi cautiously stopped him, worried that if the core of the dream were destroyed directly, the moment the dream collapsed might generate a huge mental shock, causing unpredictable harm to them.

“We cannot act rashly,” Katsuragi said in a deep voice. “The backlash from the collapse of the dream could severely injure us and even affect our real bodies.”

Hearing Katsuragi's words, Takemoto Shigeru, though anxious, knew Katsuragi's caution was justified. He thought for a moment, then abandoned his plan to destroy it directly, instead asking Katsuragi, "Then what should we do?"

Katsuragi stood before the flower, slowly releasing his spiritual power as he began to analyze its structure and energy flow.

His mental energy, like fine threads, gently touched the forget-me-not, attempting to analyze every detail. A focused light shone in Katsuragi's eyes as his mind raced, trying to find the dream's weakness and the key to breaking free.

As time went by, fine beads of sweat appeared on Katsuragi's forehead.

His spiritual energy formed a complex network around the forget-me-not, constantly attempting to connect with the core of the dream. He could feel the energy of the dream flowing within the flower, like tiny streams converging into a great river.

Katsuragi knew he had to carefully guide these energies, allowing them to gradually subside, rather than simply cutting them off.

He began to try to use his mental power to influence these energy flows, causing them to slowly withdraw from the core of the dream, thereby gradually weakening the power of the dream.

This process requires immense patience and precise control; any rash action could cause the dream to suddenly collapse. Katsuragi was completely focused; every movement he made was cautious and precise. His mental energy wove intricate nets around the forget-me-not, gradually guiding the dream's energy outward.

During this process, Katsuragi's teammates also provided support from the sidelines, using their supernatural abilities to protect Katsuragi and prevent any accidents that might occur in the dream.

They knew that what Katsuragi was doing was extremely dangerous, but also extremely important; only by successfully breaking the dream could they find their way back to reality.

Teacher Chabashira quietly observed Katsuragi's every move from a distance, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She hadn't expected Katsuragi to find the core of the illusion so quickly, but she quickly regained her composure. In her view, finding the core was only the first step; truly cracking it was far more complex than that.

Teacher Chaba thought to himself, if it were the previous four-petaled forget-me-not, there might still be a chance to gently dispel the dream, but the current two-petaled forget-me-not is more sensitive in structure, and it will collapse immediately once it is disturbed by external forces.

Although she had the ability to protect them from a synchronized mental breakdown when the dream collapsed, that would disqualify them from the competition. She wanted to see how Katsuragi would handle this dilemma.

Standing before the two-petaled forget-me-not, Katsuragi, after much effort in analyzing and guiding the conversation, finally arrived at a conclusion.

He had already pushed this far to its limit; if he continued to guide and disperse them, they would definitely break down, the only difference being the intensity of the breakdown. He realized that if he forcibly broke through, they would likely suffer severe psychological trauma.

Left with no other choice, Katsuragi turned to face his teammates and solemnly explained the current situation.

He told them that if the dream collapsed, they would need to use psychic powers to resist the aftershocks of the outburst.

Although doing so would require them to ask their gods for help and might risk offending them, protecting themselves is the top priority in this situation.

Although somewhat reluctant, the teammates understood that it was for their own safety. They exchanged glances and finally nodded in agreement.

This is a battle for our own safety; no one can stand aside.

Seeing that his teammates had all agreed, Katsuragi began to direct them to prepare for the séance.

They formed a circle, each gathering their own power in their hands, preparing to unleash a divine intervention the moment the dream collapsed, in order to mitigate the impact.
