The all-powerful middle schooler

She released the two fingers that were holding the arrow's fletching, and the arrow, like a precision-guided missile, wobbled back and forth in an incredible way before hitting the bullseye.

This incredible feat left the archery club members, who were practicing nearby, completely stunned.

"Why is the arrow's trajectory so strange?"

"How could that even hit the target?"

"Shinomiya-kun's archery skills have become even more terrifying."

This is almost equivalent to the 'gun-fu' performance in a fantasy drama, which has surpassed their understanding.

Although, this is not the first time.

"I think I've found that feeling again..."

Kaguya Shinomiya looked delighted and drew her bow again to shoot an arrow.

However, this arrow was no different from the previous ones.

"It's impossible to maintain that level forever."

She frowned again.

"Of course it's not that easy. Although you've reached this level through your archer instincts, your mental training isn't enough. You can only keep trying, getting used to the feeling, or improving in this area through other means, such as reading or meditation."

He shook his head.

"I see. I'll give it a try."

Kaguya Shinomiya was very obedient and humbly accepted the answer.

After the instruction session ended and Hasegawa left...

Kaguya Shinomiya went to the lounge to rest.

Suddenly, a figure walked in.

"Hayasaka, is there something you need? If it's just to compliment me, there's no need for that."

She wiped her sweat, turned to look at the blonde girl dressed as a hottie, and made a prediction.

"No, actually I wanted to talk to Kaguya about Hasegawa-kun."

Hayasaka Ai said seriously.

"Oh?"

Kaguya Shinomiya let out a soft exclamation, her wine-red eyes taking on a colder glint, as if signaling danger.

"Kaguya-sama, don't worry, I didn't mean to talk about anything related to romance."

Hayasaka Ai's expression remained calm, but her eyes flickered slightly.

"Hayasaka, don't think you know me so well. Say whatever you want, I won't care."

Kaguya Shinomiya turned her head away to avoid looking directly at him.

"Regarding the techniques that Hasegawa-kun taught you, don't you feel there's something wrong with them?"

"Really? I didn't feel anything."

The young lady's answer left the maid speechless.

It turns out that women in love really do have lower IQs!

She sighed inwardly, but remained calm as she said, "Isn't this archery a bit too outrageous? You know, none of the known archery masters in the world could reach the level of Hasegawa-kun, right?"

"You were spying on me just now, weren't you?"

Kaguya Shinomiya noticed this immediately, made a small comment, then her eyes became wise, and she gently touched her chin with her fingers.

"Indeed, that kind of archery skill is quite extraordinary, so Hayasaka, what you mean is...?"

"Lady Kaguya, I've recently learned some confidential information from various sources. This world has undergone some inexplicable changes. Legendary supernatural events are constantly occurring—evil spirits, monsters, and plants with wondrous properties. I've even heard that the Japanese swordsman reached the point of unleashing sword energy a month ago..."

Hayasaka Ai hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.

"Hahaha, Hayasaka, you have quite the imagination. You haven't been infected by Hasegawa, have you? I feel like you should consider joining the Far East Magic Society now."

Kaguya Shinomiya let out a few cold laughs.

"Kaguya-sama, I'm serious. Haven't you noticed? The Shinomiya family's 'protection' of you has decreased these past few days. That old man and those other guys have been showing up much less lately, haven't they?"

"Those guys aren't often seen anyway..."

"Does Kaguya-sama need evidence? Fine, then I'll infiltrate the club founded by Hasegawa-san. I have a feeling that those guys are probably special individuals, not just chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferers."

"Hayasaka, your imagination is wild enough to be made into a movie! You should go back and see a doctor first. As for the whole 'infiltration' thing, forget it. You don't really think you can fool him, do you?"

Suddenly, Kaguya Shinomiya's tone turned cold.

Hayasaka Ai thought the young lady was jealous, but after stealing a glance, she discovered that the young lady had entered that cold and aloof personality state at this moment.

"Kaguya-sama, it seems you noticed something was wrong a long time ago."

"There's no need to worry about this. If these things are revealed, those people will definitely want to control such powerful forces... I don't want my friends to get hurt."

My friend...

This is the first time I've heard Kaguya-sama admit to this. You know, even Fujiwara-kun hasn't received this verbal 'certification'.

Hayasaka felt a sense of relief.

"That's true. Faced with such an uncontrollable threat, most organizations in the world think the same way. Some have even captured a superhuman who wasn't a significant threat and subjected him to various inhumane experiments in order to find out the origin of the ability. As a result, a month ago, this superhuman, unable to bear the humiliation, chose to commit suicide, and then that family began to face a nightmare..."

"It's said that the deceased superhuman came back to life, transforming into something resembling an evil spirit. Ordinary firearms were useless against it. Although the evil spirit didn't fully retain its human memories, its hatred remained, leading to a massacre. The scene was horrific..."

"It is because of this experience and lesson that everyone has changed their attitude toward these special beings. Finally, under the advocacy of some people, a consensus was reached that similar human experiments should no longer be carried out. Unless they cooperate voluntarily, the story is likely to repeat itself."

Her expression turned serious.

"These so-called elites only give in after being taught a lesson in blood."

Kaguya Shinomiya scoffed and snorted.

The maid nodded and continued, "Over this period of time, everyone has gained some experience. The so-called birth of superpowered individuals can actually be achieved in other ways besides luck, such as emotional stimulation, pushing the body beyond its limits, or being influenced by supernatural things... So even if such malicious incidents still occur in secret, they should be reduced by a lot. Moreover, the threats to monsters and evil spirits that the world faces now can only be dealt with by these people, and the two have reached a temporary balance."

"Now I can rest assured."

Kaguya Shinomiya patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

55. Hasegawa, let me tell you, the underworld is real!

Shuchiin, a club activity room with a rather mysterious style of decoration.

This is the Department of Paranormal Research.

Because of the agreement to fight the Far East Magic Society, they gave up their 'dominance' over the Shuchiin Supernatural. Although their popularity has decreased, the club's reputation has been maintained because of the club president, Atenbo Yume's, unauthorized divination.

"Minister, what are your thoughts on the recent online phenomenon of mystery?"

During the long table meeting, a member of the association spoke up and asked a question.

"What's my opinion? Ha."

A-Ten-Bō-Meng turned her head, her smiling eyes suddenly opening wide.

"This is not surprising, because... a new era has arrived!"

She picked up her staff and slammed it on the ground with a resounding thud, speaking with a fanatical expression.

Some people looked puzzled by his remarks, while others were deep in thought.

"Minister, what do you mean by this?"

The man asked again.

"You've probably heard about the urban legends that's been circulating lately, haven't you?"

She looked to the left, then to the right, scrutinizing everyone's expressions.

"I've heard about it, and everyone talks about it as if it's a serious matter."

"Minister, you're not suggesting that those rumors are actually true, are you?"

"That blood moon is indeed very mysterious, but it seems to be just a celestial phenomenon."

Although the recent legends are all novel, as people who have received elite education, they naturally will not easily believe things they have never experienced.

After all, although all those who can attend Shuchiin have different social statuses, only those who have personally experienced it know about the inexplicable changes in this world, apart from the higher-ups.

For example, a quiet little girl timidly raised her hand and said, "Everyone, I recently saw monsters that only exist in books. I thought it was my imagination, so I didn't tell anyone..."

"I've seen ghosts too."

"Me too."

Someone responded immediately.

The rest of the people looked at each other.

"What I'm about to say is something you'd better not tell anyone else; it's a secret that only members of the Paranormal Research Department can know..."

Suddenly, Atianfang smiled slightly, her lips revealing an alluring charm under the different colored lights, exuding a mysterious style.

Everyone's ears immediately perked up.

Although they don't believe in these things deep down and only joined the club because of the club president's charm, this is obviously a topic that interests them.

"Regarding the urban rumors you've heard recently, I can assure you that some are true and some are false. Some people have actually experienced them, while others are just stirring up topics... About two months ago, a strange change occurred in this world, but no one noticed it at the time. It wasn't until the frequent occurrence of bizarre events that the authorities took the issue seriously and established a special department to deal with it... For humanity and even the world, this is a catastrophe, but for us who yearn for the mysterious, it is a cruel dream!"

A-Ten-Bō's eyes sparkled with fervent light.

The expression on his face at that moment caught the attention of others, who all sincerely felt that strong expectation and longing, and resonated with it in their hearts.

Yes, this is the worst of times, and it will be the best of times!

From today onwards, the Paranormal Research Department truly lives up to its name!

Following this inspiring meeting.

A beautiful senior student dressed as a witch and wearing a pointed hat walked out of the club, crossed the corridor, went up the stairs, and stopped in front of another club activity room.

"Dong dong dong..."

A-Tenbo Mengxian knocked on the door, then suddenly looked up at the words "Extreme East Magic Society" on the door and was drawn to them.

The gate opened quickly.

In fact, as long as everyone in the Far East Magic Society isn't distracted by other things, they can all hear the footsteps stopping at the entrance of the maze.

However, it is proper procedure to wait for someone to knock before opening the door.

"You are... Senior Sister Atianfang?"

Dansheng Valley Senxia recognized the familiar attire and face before her.

However, what puzzled her was that the other person's gaze was not on her, but rather on their head.

'Are you looking at the sign? That looks like something the seeker wrote before, could it be... that you noticed something special about it?'

She thought to herself.

There was something like 'intention' or 'spirit' on the sign, something they had never noticed before. They only realized this after they gained spiritual power and enhanced their five senses.

"Ah, sorry, I was drawn to the words above..."

Atianfang came to her senses, first expressing her apology, then asking curiously, "This must be handwritten, right? May I ask who wrote it? It's so beautiful."

"It was written by the seeker of the truth... that is, the minister."

Nishikawa Morika explained briefly.

"As expected, seeing the words is like seeing the person. Only Hasegawa-kun could write such words. He truly deserves to be the man who taught me 'what love is'."

The witch senior was not surprised at all. She smiled kindly again and took a few steps, her beautiful eyes fixed on someone lying on the sofa.

"Senior Atianfang, can you please stop using such shameful language? My duel with you is already over."

Hasegawa Izumi's lips twitched slightly. She sat up straight and said seriously.

"So, what exactly is this shameless senior student here for?"

Natsukawa Masaki looked displeased and even made sarcastic remarks, displaying a highly aggressive attitude.

The others were also curious; after that, they shouldn't have had any further entanglements.
