So the next moment, Hoshino Gokawa, from a city away, made a move against the thing following behind his father.

"Peng!"

Chapter Sixteen New Classmates

Unaware that his son had just saved his life, Hoshino Natsuhiko lightly pressed the accelerator and drove straight out of JUMP headquarters.

at the same time……

Hoshino Satoru, who casually flicked away the thing that was following his father, seemed to see a red, round stone inside it.

"That thing doesn't seem to have formed naturally."

Although Hoshino Gokawa was a little curious about what the stone was, after thinking that the guy who could be killed by flicking his finger couldn't be that powerful, he simply stopped thinking about it and turned his attention back to the comic book.

But that doesn't mean he's withdrawn his senses. If someone like the mastermind behind it all dares to show up, Hoshino Gokawa will immediately send them to the sun so they can experience the light of 5,500 degrees.

……

"The Sesshōseki... is destroyed!" In a forest outside the city, a boy whose left eye was covered by white hair suddenly showed an incredulous expression. He couldn't understand why the Sesshōseki could be destroyed!

That was the crystallized power of the Nine-Tailed Fox, and it's all gone! Not even a trace left!

It was only then that the white-haired boy understood why that place was called a forbidden zone. Even the Killing Stone was inexplicably destroyed, so who would dare to go there?

At this moment, in the eyes of the white-haired boy, the city in the distance was shrouded in a huge shadow that could not be seen from the top. If anyone dared to trespass into it, they would collapse and die under that pressure.

Even if the white-haired youth was unwilling, all he could do at that moment was run away. If he continued to stay, he might be killed by that indescribable power.

He shouldn't have come up with such a foolish plan this time, thinking that the Killing Stone could cause a stir in this so-called forbidden zone.

Thus, the city enjoyed a peaceful Christmas Eve.

morning---------------------------

"Class, I have some good news to tell you. A transfer student will be joining our class today!" Inoue-sensei looked very happy as she walked into the classroom.

"A transfer student!!!" The students in the audience were also very surprised to hear this, not expecting that a transfer student would come to their class.

It's important to know that transferring students is a very rare thing in the eyes of other students.

"A transfer student?!" Hoshino Gogawa, who also heard the news, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He knew that in anime, transfer students often represented the beginning of certain main storylines.

next moment……

"Come in... student." At the teacher's invitation, a red-haired girl slowly walked in from the doorway.

"Wow!" The young and energetic boys couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Her beautiful face and fiery red hair were quite attractive to most of the people present.

"Don't be nervous... introduce yourself." Standing to the girl's right, Inoue-sensei quickly and gently comforted her after noticing her trembling body.

"Um... my name is Hatori Chise, and I... I moved here from Chiba." Hatori Chise, who was standing on the podium, looked really nervous, and her voice became stammering.

"Class, let's welcome Hatori Chise!" With that, Inoue-sensei led the applause, and the students below the stage followed suit.

"Crack...crack...crack..."

The welcome party for the transfer students finally ended after lasting for almost half a minute.

"Hmm... Hatori-kun, how about you sit in the last seat of the third row for now? The teacher will rearrange the seats at lunchtime. Is that alright?" Inoue-sensei turned her head and gave her a very friendly smile.

"No...no problem, teacher."

Hatori Chise nodded slightly to indicate that she was fine, and then slowly walked to the place where she would stay for the time being.

"I'm really curious how many anime characters I've seen are here in this universe." Hoshino Gokawa, upon learning the other person's name, was 100% certain that she was the heroine of "The Ancient Magus' Bride".

"Um... hello." Sitting to the right of Saiki Kusuo, Hatori Tomoyo timidly greeted him after noticing his gaze.

"Um... hello." This time, Kusuo Saiki spoke up.

"Alright, students, let's shift our attention away from the new students. Class is about to begin." With that, Mr. Inoue turned around and started writing something on the blackboard.

Even after the teacher spoke up, some students still couldn't resist peeking at Hatori Chise out of curiosity.

Until the end of get out of class--------------------------------

"brush!"

After the teacher left, a group of students immediately rushed to Chise Hatori's side.

"Hatori-kun! Is your hair natural?" This was the question asked by a female classmate.

"Hatori-kun! What do you like?!" This was the question asked by a male classmate.

……

"That...I..."

The enthusiasm of her classmates caught Hatori Chise off guard. Her heart even started racing. Just as Hatori Chise felt dizzy, Hoshino Gokawa stood up.

"Are you guys trying to kill her with the heat by crowding around her like that?! Can't you see she can't even get any fresh air?!"

Hoshino Gokawa, pulling apart several students who were dressed more warmly, lectured them in a parental tone.

Under pressure from his intimidation and the rumors, the other students dared not utter a word.

call……

Just then, a gentle breeze blew in from the window, feeling warm and even making Chise Hatori's complexion look better.

Of course, mere imposing presence wouldn't achieve this; the real reason was that Hoshino Gokawa extracted a portion of the tree's life energy and injected it into her body.

After all, in Hoshino Gokawa's view, the other person's body was really in poor condition, and the internal organs were unconsciously absorbing energy floating in the air.

Compared to her, Takashi Natsume is far superior. At least Takashi Natsume's spiritual power can continuously strengthen his body during the generation process.

But instead of strengthening herself, Chise Hatori kept overdrawing her physical lifespan.

No! It's not that there was no enhancement, it's just that the enhancement was done in a slightly wrong place!

The area she strengthened was the organ that she used to absorb and create magic power.

In other words, the more she strengthens her ability to absorb and create magic, the faster she will be, and the shorter her lifespan will be.

As for the difference between magic power and spiritual power, it's just a different name; they are essentially the same thing.

"Thank you..." Hatori Chise, having recovered, softly thanked him.

“Hmm…” Hoshino Gokawa simply nodded and then turned back to his seat.

After he left, the classmates gathered together again. Perhaps remembering his words, they made sure to leave a large space for Chise Hatori so she could breathe fresh air.

Chapter Seventeen Solution

“Her body is in terrible shape…” Saiki Kusuo, who could see the terrible state of Hatori Chise’s internal organs through his X-ray vision, turned around and communicated with Hoshino Satoru through telepathy.

"I noticed it too, just like a fiercely burning firewood." Hoshino Gokawa, back in his seat, couldn't help but sigh. The abilities of that hero race, who represented life, were truly useful. They might not be the strongest, but they were definitely the best healers.

If it were him, he could easily restore Hatori Chise's physical condition with a simple touch, without having to think so much like he does now. Furthermore, Hoshino Gokawa probably believes that she is the only one among all the hero races who can create life.

"Then what are you going to do?"

“One way is to replace all those organs, but that would probably mean turning her into a skeleton.” To be honest, Hoshino Gokawa was against this proposal. Turning a girl into a skeleton was too creepy, and besides, they might not even be able to keep her alive.

If she makes a mistake during the operation, she'll be doomed. She'd probably have to ask Saiki Kusuo to go back in time to stop it, but that might cause a time paradox. So no matter what, this plan has to be rejected.

"Another option is to let Ms. Yuko from the mystical side handle it." Thinking of this, Hoshino Gokawa couldn't help but think of Ichihara Yuko, whom he had met a few days ago.

"This really does echo what she said in the anime! When fate brings two people together, no matter how small the encounter or event, it will definitely have an impact."

No matter how short the time, the connection between the two will not disappear. Just thinking about what he had said before that he would not make a deal with the other party, Hoshino Gokawa had an urge to cover his face and face.

If he were to bring people to see her himself, he might be ridiculed by her. Although they had only met once, Hoshino Gokawa had a feeling that Ichihara Yuuko would laugh when she saw him again.

"Wait! I remember she seems to be able to see the future! Could it be..." Hoshino Gokawa, whose brain suddenly started working wildly at this moment, couldn't help but twitch his lips after thinking carefully for a while.

Although they were not close at all and were just classmates, well...

When you see someone about to die, you still can't help but want to go over and help them, just like those ordinary people you saw in the news in your past life. Even though it has nothing to do with you, you still choose to risk your life to save them.

"I think I'll ask Ms. Yuuko after school." Hoshino Gokawa finally came to his senses and decided to meet Ichihara Yuuko after school.

"Miss Yuko?" Upon hearing this, Kusuo Saiki couldn't help but wonder who this person was that he could remember.

“Someone who’s really good at the mystical world, someone I met just a few days ago.” Hoshino Gokawa didn’t explain much about it, because if Saiki Kusuo knew the details, the other party might just have a brain fart and ask her to remove his superpowers. Even if that possibility seems very low right now, it doesn’t mean that it’s 100% impossible.

So it's best not to let the other party know just to be on the safe side. After all, he's going to travel to other universes in the future. If Saiki Kusuo loses his superpowers and I happen to be away, wouldn't Earth be in trouble?

After all, how could a planet with so many anime characters not have major events!

It's just that it hasn't come to fruition yet, which is one of the reasons why Hoshino Gokawa chose to seriously train Natsume Takashi.

Back to the main topic -----------------------------

"Is that so..." Upon learning that the other party was a member of the mystical side, Kusuo Saiki did not seem very interested in it. Perhaps in his opinion, the other party's existence was not as attractive as coffee jelly.

Then, as noon approached, under Inoue-sensei's arrangement, a small number of people changed their positions, while most remained in place.

Originally, Kusuo Saiki was also supposed to be replaced, but since he was the only one in the class who wasn't afraid of Gosaka Hoshino, Inoue-sensei ultimately decided to let him stay there due to various factors.

As for Chise Hatori, she was moved to the third position in the same row as Kusuo Saiki.

……

"Um... why are you all so afraid of that Hoshino-kun?" Hatori Chise, who was chatting with other classmates, couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"That's because..." When they heard the transfer student ask, they secretly glanced at Hoshino Gogawa, and only after seeing that she wasn't looking at them did they dare to explain the reason to her in a low voice.

It was nothing more than recounting all of Hoshino Gokawa's glorious past.

"!!!!" Upon hearing this news, Hatori Chise couldn't help but turn and look at Hoshino Gokawa in surprise.

According to these classmates, Hoshino Gokawa was described as a ferocious beast in human skin.

There are even rumors that if he were placed in ancient times, he might have become a military commander comparable to Oda Nobunaga.

"We were scared, but we knew in our hearts that Hoshino was a good person. It's just that the pressure he put on us was too much, and we didn't know how to communicate with him."

However, what was unexpected was that the topic took a dramatic turn afterward. It turned out that they were not afraid of being bullied by Hoshino Gokawa and thus dared not speak to him.

It was simply because the pressure they felt from the other party was immense, even more so than the pressure they felt from encountering the principal on the street.

Not to mention that several classmates witnessed that outrageous scene!

They genuinely believed that if the other person were placed in ancient times, they might be an invincible warrior, and the history of the entire country might even be rewritten.

"So this is ah……"

Comparing the classmates in this class with those in her previous class, Chise Hatori felt that the atmosphere here was better. As for her previous class, well, there was a strong competitive spirit and a tendency to compare and vie for others, so she didn't like it very much and had no attachment to that place.

Then time slowly passed until after school.

Tread...tread...

After walking for a while, Hoshino Gokawa, who had left the school, arrived at the wall of Ichihara Yuuko.

"..." Looking at the cherry blossom trees inside that seemed out of place with the outside world, Hoshino Gokawa didn't hesitate for long before walking in.

"Welcome!" ×2

Chapter Eighteen Refusal

"Um... Good evening, store manager." Hoshino Gokawa, who had come to face Ichihara Yuuko again, couldn't help but laugh awkwardly twice. He should have known better than to speak so confidently.

Of course, the main reason is that no one could have imagined that in just a few days, a guy they couldn't handle would appear.

"Hmph..." Yuko Ichihara, who saw him again, subconsciously revealed her amused smile.

"Oh my... Hoshino-san, what brings you here today?"

"There's something I need to ask you, Manager." Hoshino Gokawa almost had a stroke from embarrassment when he heard the other person address him with that kind of title. It was fine with other people, but coming from Ichihara Yuuko, he felt inexplicably ashamed.

"Oh...then you should remember that I follow the principle of equivalent exchange, right?" Yuko Ichihara, who was lying on the sofa with her right hand supporting her cheek, seemed to be laughing even more happily, and even revealed her long legs from under her cheongsam.

“I remember, but I hope the thing I have to give is something external, something that has nothing to do with me, and preferably something that can be found on this planet. If you don’t agree, then forget it.” Hoshino Gokawa stated three conditions to show that he understood.

“I didn’t expect you to be so wary…” Yuko Ichihara looked up at Gosho Hoshino with her unfathomable red eyes.

"There's no way around it. We can't afford to be careless about the lessons learned from comic books and light novels. Besides, this is only our second meeting. I don't know what kind of person you are, so our current level of trust is only slightly higher than that of strangers." Since Hoshino Gokawa has chosen not to reveal the April 1st Paranormal Case Files, he needs to keep a certain distance from the other party. Otherwise, if he acts too close, Ichihara Yuuko will notice something is amiss.

"Is that so..." Yuuko Ichihara seemed to believe this explanation.
