The all-powerful middle schooler

Just a few days ago, my adoptive father was suddenly murdered in his home.

As an adopted son, I naturally have to investigate the truth behind my adoptive father's death; otherwise, I won't be the one to inherit his position.

Today, I finally found a clue about my adoptive father's death and went to his door with great excitement.

Unexpectedly, I underestimated that person's strength. Even with more than ten people swarming at him, we couldn't gain the upper hand. Instead, in the chaos, I was stabbed in the kidney by him...

"Ouch, that hurts!"

'Am I going to die?'

'No! I'm so unwilling to accept this, so unwilling!'

'I haven't lived enough yet... I still want revenge on that guy! I hate him so much! I'm going to kill him!'

'Kill him...kill him...'

Lying on the operating table, the fierce young man reflected on his life and felt increasingly weak, as everything before him gradually blurred.

"Oh no, the patient's vital signs are gradually disappearing!"

"Is there any other way?"

"We have done our best, but his injuries are too severe."

"We're at our wits' end."

In the emergency room, the doctor, who was desperately trying to save the young man, held on until the very last moment, but by then it was too late to save him.

They could only watch helplessly as all the vital signs displayed on the instruments disappeared.

Unbeknownst to them, right after the young man died on the operating table, a phantom spirit resembling the young man emerged from his body.

Generally speaking, the soul will soon disappear from this world after losing its physical body.

However, his soul underwent a strange change at this moment. Wisps of dark energy, as if fueled by ignited hatred, enveloped his spirit, instantly transforming his appearance.

At this moment, Kitahara Sosuke's appearance became extremely distorted and ferocious, almost unrecognizable as human. His eyes were deep and empty, like two endless dark vortexes, emanating a chilling aura that caused the temperature in the emergency room to drop significantly.

"It's so cold."

"Why did it suddenly get cold?"

"It's probably just psychological, right?"

"Could it be that the air conditioner is broken?"

Exhausted and resting, the doctor was puzzled. He glanced at the temperature display next to him, but found that there was no change, so he looked away.

Kitahara Sosuke, transformed into his evil spirit form, remained stunned for a while, his empty eyes glancing around as if trying to adjust to the situation.

Subsequently, it received guidance from the unseen forces.

"Can you see me?"

Kitahara Sousuke approached a doctor and instinctively asked him a question, but the doctor did not answer him or even focus his gaze on him for a moment.

Can you see me?

Can you see me?

Can you see me?

It searched through all the doctors and found that they all ignored its existence.

As if adhering to some kind of rule of the game, it lost interest in these doctors.

Its instincts tell it that it needs to find someone who can see it, then devour them to strengthen itself.

So it looked outside the emergency room.

……

"What are these kids doing...?"

Haruki Eguchi stood to the side waiting, his gaze unconsciously drawn to the actions of a group of people not far away.

Although Eguchi Haruki couldn't hear what they were saying because of the distance, their actions already struck him as strange enough.

"Is it chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)?"

He couldn't help but make a deduction in his mind.

During his medical career, he did encounter a kind of 'symptom' that wanted to escape reality, but was completely different from mental illness. He later learned from others that it was a kind of self-delusion called 'chuunibyou' that often exists during adolescence.

"Click."

Suddenly, the door to the emergency room next to me opened.

"how's it going?"

Haruki Eguchi stood up and asked the doctors who came out about the situation.

They all shook their heads.

The result is self-evident.

"That's it..."

Haruki Eguchi did not experience any extra emotions.

Having practiced medicine for many years, he had seen many dead people, let alone a gang member who was completely unrelated to him. He was dead, so he was dead.

The only problem is how to deal with the group of thugs who wake up later.

"Forget it, let Director Nakano worry about this."

He thought to himself.

"By the way, where did those thugs go?"

"Also, are the children over there who have been watching us relatives of the deceased?"

"By the way, don't you think those girls' eyes were a little strange? Like they'd seen a ghost."

The doctors nearby quickly realized that the situation was different from what they had expected and shifted their attention.

Just now, when the doctors came out.

The Far East Magic Society members, sitting a little further away, saw something different.

A creature resembling a human but shrouded in ghostly energy, emanating a faint black aura, floated out following the doctors. It then turned and spoke to Haruki Eguchi:

"Can you see me?"

Clearly, its inquiry did not receive a response from Haruki Eguchi.

So it had to find another target.

This time, it noticed a group of five people gathered a little further away.

"Is that what they call 'evil spirits'? So this is what things that don't exist in our world are like..."

"How ugly! So this is what an evil spirit looks like? It's disgusting."

"Huh, why didn't it attack humans? Is there some kind of restriction?"

"My sage, it's coming! Death!"

The girls forced themselves to remain calm, even though they were panicking inside and cold sweat was dripping down their faces. They had to pretend to be very composed and casually comment.

"Let's go first."

To everyone's surprise, Izumi Hasegawa turned around and left.

"Eh!?"

This was unexpected for the girls, but it followed closely behind.

"Minister, is this a strategic shift?"

Natsukawa Masaki asked indirectly.

"Not really. I just think that if we use methods to kill it, it might injure the doctors... Moreover, openly displaying extraordinary abilities at this time would probably attract unnecessary trouble."

Izumi Hasegawa explained in a logical and methodical manner.

The girls all looked shocked.

It's amazing that the minister has such normal thinking ability!

"What's with those expressions? Before you've grown to be invincible, of course you need to hide your abilities..."

Instead, he looked strange.

Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them!

Actually, he used to want to become a 'Shadow-level Strength User', but sometimes it just wasn't necessary.

"You can see it!"

"You can see it!"

Just then, that chilling voice rang out from behind.

Their behavior naturally caught Kitahara Sousuke's attention. He assumed that the group had discovered his presence and instinctively gave chase.

Still standing there, Haruki Eguchi was completely bewildered and scratched his head.

What exactly are they here for?

……

The Far East Magic Society members jogged all the way to the hospital, relentlessly pursued by the evil spirits behind them.

This looks like a very dangerous scene.

However, to those who 'cannot see' them, they didn't take it seriously at all and thought they were doing a running exercise.

It's getting late.

There were also far fewer pedestrians on the road.

Before long, they lured the newly born evil spirit to a secluded corner.

At this moment, everyone stopped and turned around, their gazes falling on the evil spirit.

"You really can see it!!"

Kitahara Sosuke's deep, terrifying tone also carried a hint of joy.

"Hey, what's your name?"

Izumi Hasegawa remained calm and attempted to communicate with her.

"Me? I don't know... I'm going to eat you all...!"

However, a moment of confusion appeared on Kitahara Sosuke's ferocious face, before he became even more violent.

"It seems its intelligence is limited... Is it because it just became a 'spirit'? Or is it its species? Oh well, it doesn't matter... Today's teaching time should be over, Kobato is waiting for me to go home and make dinner."

Hasegawa Izumi muttered a few words to herself.

Although Kitahara Sosuke had lost most of his intelligence, his instincts still allowed him to sense the emotions emanating from the human in front of him, which clearly showed that the human did not take him seriously!

Enraged, it stretched out its hands, which, under the surge of ghostly energy, grew several times larger, as if it wanted to crush him to death, just like crushing an ant and then devouring it completely.

Faced with this eerie attack...

The handsome young man remained calm and composed, slowly raising his right hand. His short black hair moved without wind, and his posture was dignified. At the same time, he was muttering something to himself.

"O King! The mask of flesh and blood, the myriad things, the things that flutter high and bear the name of mankind! The heat and strife, rolling southward across the sea, move forward!"

"Hado #31...Crimson Fire Cannon!"

Hasegawa Izumi activated her spiritual power and unleashed a high-level spell. Her entire body seemed to be covered in a layer of red spiritual light, shining brightly. A red ball of light the size of a fist in front of her instantly condensed into a shape, as if it were a sun that was burning fiercely.

The terrifying atmosphere created by the ghostly aura was immediately swept away.

"what……!!"

The evil spirit that had reached out immediately felt as if its hands were being burned, and in pain, it flung them away.

Then, guided by Izumi Hasegawa's will, the red ball of light in front of her hand shot outward like a cannonball.

"Hey..."

The evil spirit was unable to dodge in time and was hit by the Crimson Fire Cannon. A hole appeared in its body, and then red flames blazed up, instantly engulfing its entire body and burning it to ashes.
