The all-powerful middle schooler

So does everyone else.

"Actually, it's just..."

Rikka Takanashi's next answer elicited strange expressions from them.

the next morning.

Shuchiin Junior High School, Class 3-A.

A group of students focused their attention on one spot.

Sanae Tokomori was spinning a math book with her finger, a gesture that drew considerable attention from others.

"pat..."

However, she didn't care about other people's stares. Instead, she picked up the math book that had fallen again and again and continued to spin it with her fingers.

"I can do it, I can definitely do death!"

She spun around while muttering to herself.

Nearby, a boy who looked rather delicate noticed the girl's actions and walked over.

"What are you doing, Thunder Hammer Master?"

His name is Yu Ishigami. Because his father is a toy manufacturer, he has been exposed to a lot of things related to anime and manga, which has led to him developing a mild case of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome). It is because of this that he can understand Sanae Dekomori's actions at times and become an acquaintance with her.

Of course, unlike me, although we are the same kind of people, the other person is actually very popular in class, which is completely different from me.

"It's you, Toy Warrior."

Hearing the sound, Sanae Tokomori turned around and explained, "I'm training for death!"

"Your method of cultivation is truly unique... Also, I've told you several times, don't use such a low-class name to address me."

Yu Ishigami glanced at him, his expression somewhat strained.

"Hmph, this training method was passed down from Master, and its origin is from the Sage. The mysteries it contains are not as simple as you imagine!"

Noticing his disdain, Sanae Tokomori immediately emphasized it, and her hand movements unconsciously became more skillful.

"real or fake?"

Yu Ishigami looked suspicious, hesitated for a moment, and then chose to believe him.

That person's reputation was legendary.

There shouldn't be any harm in learning it, right?

So he picked up his math book and started spinning it around.

What are they doing?

"I don't understand, it must be... that you think it's fun?"

"What's the point of transferring books?"

More students noticed the two's actions and, not understanding why, one girl ran over to ask them.

"Ishigami, is this fun?"

"Fun? This isn't just for fun. It's said to be a secret technique that the senior Hasegawa used for training!"

Yu Ishigami's serious response left the latter completely bewildered, but he still relayed it to others.

"What? Senpai Hasegawa plays this too?"

"Ishigami wouldn't dare to speak recklessly."

"This is going to be really interesting."

"I'll give it a try too."

There is only one Hasegawa in Shuchiin.

Upon hearing this name, it caused a sensation among the crowd, and many began to follow suit.

at the same time.

Shuchiin High School, Class 1-B.

Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, Nibutani Morikawa and Natsukawa Masaki are also learning how to turn books during their breaks.

The actions of these two popular young actresses caused quite a stir.

"Hey, watch me!"

While everyone else was still learning to walk, the cheerful girl with a rabbit ribbon tied in her hair had already demonstrated her skill, spinning the book in her hands like a windmill.

"Nakano-kun is amazing!"

Everyone turned their heads to look.

Why is she so skilled at it?

Nissouya Morinaka and Natsukawa Masaki were speechless for a moment, feeling somewhat unwilling.

Wouldn't that prove that I'm not qualified enough?

There's no other way but to practice even harder.

The book-sharing frenzy quickly swept across the entire school.

The once quiet Class C has become popular again.

However, by the time the rumors reached Izumi Hasegawa's ears, the taste had already changed.

"That's how Hasegawa developed his agility!"

This left him completely puzzled.

I'm not a circus performer, who the hell would use their feet to spin a book?!

……

When you don't have something, your goal is simply to 'possess' it; but when you actually possess it, you have something better to pursue.

Now, one of the problems troubling the girls of the Far East Magic Club is—

How can I awaken even more powerful abilities?

Realizing the potential crisis that could erupt at any moment, they all desperately wanted to become stronger.

They trusted the minister and did not doubt their ability to awaken, but they lacked confidence in the power that would come from awakening.

They knew very well that they were just imposters, just ordinary people, without any special qualifications.

Therefore, they could only continue to target the minister they admired.

Asking directly would be too blunt, so they discussed it and decided to use a more indirect approach.

“Sage, the origin of my Evil King’s True Eye has been lost in the past, and it may not be well adapted to this world. So I would like to ask you to help me expand my awakened abilities.”

Rikka Takanashi gently exhaled, blowing away the steam rising from the teacup, and then took a sip of tea.

She was trying to appear calm and composed.

"You want to enhance your abilities? That's a bold decision!"

Hasegawa Izumi was taken aback at first, then praised him.

"If you follow the same old path, it will indeed be easier for you to return to your peak, but if you want to continue to improve, you will face more obstacles... Now that the rules have been restarted, everyone has the opportunity to awaken again. If you have stronger basic abilities, you will naturally be able to reach a higher peak... Of course, the difficulty of improving your strength will also increase considerably."

One focuses on potential and strives for greater heights, but its future is uncertain.

One can quickly form combat power, but later development can easily encounter the same bottlenecks as before.

"Seeker of the Way, my thoughts are the same as Rikka's."

"Sage, I also want to become stronger!"

Nishikawa Morika and Dekomori Sanae then spoke up.

As for Natsukawa Masuzu, she did not follow suit. Her goal was to get closer to the Stand user category, so there was no need to add anything.

The four people sat at the square table.

"Rikka's power comes from the 'Evil King's True Eye,' right? So your strength should be in ocular techniques, and that should be your focus... I've got it!"

Hasegawa Izumi recalled many eyes with special abilities and ultimately chose the eye technique that was more suitable for the user of the Evil King's True Eye.

The stronger the ability is, the better. Compatibility is also important. Otherwise, it will become a burden. Moreover, it is only the initial awakening. The strength of the ability has its limits and needs time to grow.

"What is it?"

Rikka Takanashi placed her hands on the small table, leaned forward, and was very excited.

"Sharingan."

He said it solemnly.

"Sharingan?"

Rikka Takanashi looked puzzled, waiting for an explanation.

"The Sharingan is one of the three great dojutsu of the ninja world. It can be awakened through strong emotional stimulation and continues to evolve, possessing powerful abilities such as observation, copying, and hypnosis. After evolving into the Mangekyou Sharingan, it can also use even more powerful ultimate dojutsu, such as..."

He gave a general introduction.

"Then let's... fuse this together!"

The girl was immediately smitten.

"Okay, I'll draw the shape of the Sharingan in a bit. When you get back, visualize it day and night and make it a subconscious pursuit. When you awaken it, you'll have a high chance of succeeding."

He nodded in agreement.

Although he hasn't accumulated much spiritual power yet, it's still easy for him to use some tricks.

His strategy was to use visualization to apply hypnotic suggestions in order to achieve the desired effect.

the second.

“My sage, it’s my turn to die.”

Sanae Tokomori eagerly raised her little hand.

"Dekomori's research focuses on lightning-attribute, so what's suitable for you... should be the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, right?"

Hanase Izumi looked over and quickly came up with a solution.

"The Rumble-Rumble Fruit? Is it edible?"

Sanae Dekomori asks questions when she doesn't understand.

"Indeed, it's meant to be eaten. In the world of seafaring, there's something called a Devil Fruit. Eating it grants you various special abilities, which are divided into three types: Paramecia, Zoan, and Logia. The Rumble-Rumble Fruit is the most powerful Logia type. It allows the host to control lightning and possess abilities such as elemental transformation, teleportation, and the ability to release blue high-voltage electricity at will."

He quickly explained.

"So strong? Wouldn't the person who ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit be invincible?"

Sanae Tokomori exclaimed in surprise.

This is much better than my own design!

"Theoretically speaking, it is indeed very strong, but it was unlucky and encountered the even more unreasonable Gum-Gum Fruit, so it was defeated."

At this point, he suddenly laughed.

You think I'm rubber, but I'm actually Nika!

"?"

The girl didn't understand the joke at all and was stunned for a moment.

"In short, the power created by the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is quite strong, and it suits you very well."

His expression hardened, and he continued.

"I trust the wise man's judgment! Death!"

Tao Shou Sanae trusted Tao very much.

As for the drawbacks of Devil Fruits, there's no need to worry about them. Awakening simply brings the ability closer to its original form; it doesn't mean you actually eat a Devil Fruit.

The last one is Mori Summer.

"Seeker of the Way, what are your thoughts on the improvement of my abilities?"
