The all-powerful middle schooler

While the members of the Far East Magic Society were still living a peaceful life of flirting and teasing each other.

In other parts of the world, however, there is peace.

Ghosts, psychics, and even more elusive things are intertwining, developing new stories.

On a bustling, wide street, a short girl walked by. She had gold and peach-colored gradient pigtails, and her bangs covered her eyebrows. However, her droopy eyes gave her an unfriendly look, making her look like a female devil from an anime.

Her name is Nibutō Yūria. Although she is often mistaken for an elementary school student, she is actually a high school girl.

She has an incredible secret: more than ten days ago, she suddenly discovered that she could see things that did not belong to this world.

This was clearly a special power that no one else possessed, and the girl felt that she, who had this power, must be a special being.

After seeing some strange rumors circulating online, she became convinced of them and wanted to learn exorcism to become a powerful psychic.

In that way, she will receive envious glances from people!

So she went to a famous place nearby to find a being called 'Shitamachi Shrine Maiden'.

"Please, please take me as your apprentice!"

"I've said it many times, little sister, I'm not taking on apprentices now."

The old woman, dressed in a shrine maiden's outfit and with her white hair shrouded in a hat, raised her head. Her aged eyes slowly opened, and she once again rejected the enthusiastic young girl before her.

She didn't bother to cheat the child because he didn't have much money.

However, she is indeed a psychic, but her spiritual power is not very strong, and she can only deal with some weak spirits.

"Little sister, are you a primary school student?"

"Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm a high school student!"

"Okay, I understand... Take this home, it's a rosary full of power."

Takeda Sae took out a string of beads the size of a fingernail from under the table and smiled mysteriously.

"Ah~"

Yuria was extremely excited.

Doesn't that mean he's becoming an apprentice?

Just then, two figures suddenly appeared.

A man with black hair, expressionless, exuding a sense of calm.

One of them has orange-yellow hair, always has a smile on her face, and is lively and cute.

"Kimi, are you interested in prayer beads? Indeed, they seem to be quite popular these days."

"Well, that's right."

When asked by her friend Yurikawa Hana, Yotsuya Miko gave a casual reply.

'Are they those two best friends from the next class?'

Nearby, Yuria recognized the two women and was somewhat surprised by their purpose in coming here. So she did not leave for the time being, but remained silent and secretly observed them.

Are you here to buy prayer beads?

Takeda Sae smiled warmly and took out a string of prayer beads, different from the previous ones, from the shelf behind her.

"Look, this is full of amazing power! You can take it home for just 3,000 yen."

She placed the rosary in the box, where it shimmered with a mysterious, dark luster in the dim light.

"Can a rosary containing such a faint spiritual power really sell for three thousand yen?"

Yotsuya Miko picked up the bead, felt its structure and spiritual power, and subconsciously made a judgment.

"Spiritual power?"

This term immediately caught the attention of the three people present.

The girl realized she had said something she shouldn't have, paused for a moment, and then said, "Sorry, never mind."

"Jianzi, what is spiritual power?"

Yuri Kawana couldn't resist her curiosity.

"Spiritual power, as the name suggests, is the power that only spiritualists can wield."

Takeda Saegusa answered instead, his murky eyes sharpening.

"Miss, you're quite something. I didn't expect you to be one of us... But since you say the higher-ups are too weak, are you here to cause trouble for me?"

Wait, really? Could it be that she's also a psychic like the Godmother?

Yuria was completely dumbfounded.

"No, you misunderstood. I just didn't expect it to be worth so much."

“Valuable? Its original price was 30,000 yen. If it weren’t for Grandma’s kindness, she wouldn’t have sold it to you for that price.”

Thirty thousand yen? That much?

Yotsuya Miko fell silent.

It has to be said that this was beyond her imagination as a poor person.

She could clearly sense that this rosary could only deal with some harmless spirits and was not very useful in theory, but how could it be so valuable?

If she could sell them too, wouldn't she be able to make a fortune quickly and stop her mother from suffering?

"What are you talking about? I don't understand. Jianzi, are you hiding something from me?"

Even the lively young girl frowned.

"It's a long story, Xiaohua, I'll explain it to you later."

Only after Yotsuya Miko's instructions did the girl feel at ease.

"Mother-in-law, I'd like to talk to you alone, is that alright?"

She turned her head and asked again.

"Alright, since we're both psychics, I'll talk to you."

Takeda Saegusa also showed an interested smile.

After all, they were of the same kind, and she was a girl who looked like a granddaughter.

The two walked into the small room inside.

Yuria, who had been observing, rolled her eyes and seemed about to go into the shop to eavesdrop.

"What are you doing, student?"

Yurikawa noticed her movements and the fact that she was wearing the same school uniform, and asked her about it.

"Um, I've come to become your apprentice, Godmother!"

Yulia shuddered and had no choice but to stop in her tracks, refraining from making any rash moves.

"Apprenticeship?"

"Don't you know? Grandma is a famous sorceress in the neighborhood, a genuine spiritual medium."

"Eh...aren't those just urban legends?"

"No way! There really are some unseen things in this world that only people with talent like me can see. By the way, your life force seems a bit strong. You should easily attract those things, right?"

"The breath of life, what is that?"

While the two chatted outside, the negotiations inside came to an end.

Yotsuya Miko and Takeda Mie came out, one with no change in expression, while the other seemed a little reserved.

"Then it's settled. When we meet, we'll split it as we agreed: 50/50, no, 30/70, I get 30% and you get 70%."

"No, let's split it 50/50. After all, I'm only responsible for imbuing it with spiritual power. I'll leave the raw materials and sales to you, Grandma."

"Then... alright."

Takeda Saegusa reluctantly accepted, feeling somewhat flattered.

Right there in the room, the other party made a request to sell her an even more powerful rosary, and then demonstrated that powerful spiritual energy to her, which greatly shocked her.

She hadn't seen many of her kind, but the other person's spiritual power was indeed the strongest she had ever seen.

Perhaps only the rumored young lady of Heron Palace can compare to her?

Therefore, her attitude became very sincere.

"Xiao Hua, who is this?"

When Yotsuya Miko saw the unfamiliar girl next to her friend, she asked her a question.

"I just met her. Her name is Nibutō Yūria. She's a student in the class next to ours. Her purpose in coming here is... oh, right, she also said that my life force is very strong and will attract monsters. Miko, do you have any clues?"

Yuri Kawana then explained to her.

Yotsuya Miko's gaze towards the other person changed slightly.

Unexpectedly, I encountered two 'extraordinary' individuals today. This is the first time I've seen this outside of the organization.

However, the fact that she can see signs of life is somewhat different from the bias of her Yin-Yang eyes.

Now, the reason why those things kept appearing around Xiaohua became clear.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, she sensed the approaching presence of an evil spirit.

"You really do arrive just as soon as you say you'll."

She sighed.

"What's wrong, Jianzi?"

Baihe Chuanhua looked puzzled.

Yuria also looked puzzled.

"Can not you see?"

Yotsuya Miko noticed this.

"Has anything arrived? No."

Yuria looked around but found nothing.

"I see."

She wasn't surprised. According to the knowledge taught by the leader, her level of Yin-Yang Eyes was very high, allowing her to see more things, while others might not be able to.

"What's going on?"

Yuri Kawana was completely baffled and couldn't understand the two's actions at all.

"Xiao Hua, come with me."

Yotsuya Miko grabbed the other's little hand and ran to the other side.

"Wait for me!"

Having finally gotten a chance to come into contact with the mysterious, Yuria was unwilling to let it end like this, so she called out from behind and chased after them.

The three of them gradually ran to a secluded corner, in an alleyway.

"call....."

Both Yuri and Yuria were panting heavily and unable to speak.

"Please don't tell anyone else about what happens next. After all, although there's no rule against it, it's better to keep a low profile."

Yotsuya Miko turned around, her long hair flowing, looking dashing and spirited, her eyes already covered with a layer of spiritual light, observing another world.

Right at the alley entrance, a demon appeared, dressed in tattered clothes, over two meters tall, with disfigured features and a gaping maw. Turning its head, its lifeless eyes were terrifying.

"Is something there?"

Even the two girls who couldn't see were terrified and looked towards the alley entrance.

"I won't let the tape hurt you."

At this moment, Yotsuya Miko's thoughts and expression were completely unified. Her heart was undisturbed, and she spoke as if she possessed a divine quality.
