The all-powerful middle schooler

"Hasegawa-san, it's your turn to go on stage soon!"

Just as they were slacking off in the music club, the disciplinary committee member they had met before came over and reminded them.

"Alright, it's our turn to go on stage and perform. Let's show them the magic of music!"

With her guitar slung over her shoulder, Izumi Hasegawa exuded an artistic aura, like a rock musician.

The auditorium is where the main stage performances take place.

The student council posted the program list on the bulletin board before the performances began.

Therefore, when the most important performance of the day arrived, the auditorium was packed with people who had been looking forward to it, and even the area outside the auditorium was crowded with people.

This is beyond the original design.

After all, no program has ever attracted so much attention before.

The lights dimmed as the previous play ended.

The audience below couldn't help but hold their breath.

A series of crisp footsteps echoed from the stage, and six figures gradually emerged. The lights came on again, revealing their true identities: a group led by Izumi Hasegawa.

The drum set, guitar, bass, and microphone for singing are all ready.

"We are the Far East Magic Band, and I am the lead vocalist, Hasegawa..."

"I am bassist Nagasaki."

"I am Takanashi, the guitarist."

"I am the drummer, Takanashi."

"I am guitarist Tokomori."

"I am Xia Chuan, the keyboardist."

"We are about to play some magical music. Please enjoy it..."

They started by introducing themselves, which still drew cheers.

"Oh!"

Hasegawa Izumi raised her finger to her lips and then shushed.

The room fell silent.

"Next, please listen to our performance."

A beautiful prelude then began.

92 He is God

The sounds of drums, guitar, and bass filled the air.

Without any pleasantries or announcements, the performance began abruptly as soon as the drummer caught the rhythm and started playing.

With just a short prelude, a strange sense of emotion welled up as the music flowed from the fingertips.

Because their music has transcended the mundane, it resonates deeply with the audience.

Even a parched heart will not give up the struggle to move forward.

"I'm sorry, there's really nothing I can do."

"How I long to share your pain."

"Yet you stubbornly refuse to give me even a fraction of it."

"Just so I can live purely and never look back."

"Then you turn your back to me and leave my side."

"on the loney rail~"

Izumi Hasegawa held the microphone, casually playing the guitar while singing with great emotion, her slightly deep voice gradually rising higher.

"Oh~!"

The audience outside the stadium couldn't help but cheer and applaud.

This part alone makes one feel that the cultural festival was worthwhile.

Just then, Izumi Hasegawa switched places with Rikka Takanashi and took over singing.

"I'm willing to follow behind you."

"No matter how rugged the road, even if we are plunged into a world of darkness and despair."

"And you, shining brightly beside me!"

Rikka Takanashi sang with her slightly immature voice, conveying a sense of power that resonated deeply with listeners.

These words were actually what she truly felt.

The Evil King's True Eye, who once lived alone in the darkness, has finally encountered his own light.

She was willing to fight for the light, even at the cost of everything, just to exist for him alone.

"Hold hands and go beyond the end of the future."

"We are already so vulnerable, so let's not let our souls be hurt as well."

"My way overlaps with mine."

"At this moment, let us bathe together, God bless..."

When Sanae Dekomori took over the singing, memories of the journey she had taken filled her mind, and the emotion in her heart made her eyes glisten with emotion.

It is precisely because she is a sage that she is able to fulfill her dreams and live peacefully in the new world.

The Sage is her god, always blessing her.

"You are in front of me, and I am by your side."

"Those who are not connected to us cannot see them."

"In my gentle dreams, I meticulously depict my beautiful vision, stroke by stroke."

Nishikawa Morika sang out loud, pouring out her emotions without reservation.

She once had the happiest time of her life.

He painted a magnificent dream for himself.

But she didn't know how to cherish it.

Now, how she wishes time could turn back, back to a story that only involved the two of them.

"Fingertips gently caress the wounds covering her body...!"

When Natsukawa Masuzu sang this part, she was also moved by the emotions, and her eyes revealed genuine feelings.

She was an awkward woman, with an extremely bad personality—shameless, unscrupulous, pitiful, tragic, and miserable...

But no matter what, that person was able to take it all in stride, treating himself like a mischievous child, and accepting his own actions.

During this time, the coldness in the girl's heart, which had been soothed and her wounds healed, had long since melted away.

I have to admit...

She had already fallen for the minister.

"That's why I'm willing to follow behind you."

"No matter how rugged the road, even if we are plunged into a world of utter darkness..."

Natsukawa Masaki was so excited that she even forgot about her own beauty while singing, and her face became ferocious.

In short, the girls don't know if God really exists, but they are certain that Izumi Hasegawa is God in their hearts.

……

Offstage, the audience clapped and cheered in rhythm with the music.

The news club trio of Shizuku Asahi, Karen Ki, and Erika Kose, along with the five Nakano sisters with their distinct personalities, and their former rivals in the challenge, Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka, all have their eyes fixed on the band on stage.

Although Hasegawa is known as the 'King of Shuchiin,' he isn't liked by everyone. Some people still think his past actions were too violent. However, after listening to this performance today, many quiet, literary girls have come to appreciate his charm.

A blonde, twin-tailed young lady standing in the best spot watched this scene with a stunned expression, deeply moved.

I felt something different from my childhood sweetheart.

The song ends.

"Oh~!"

"Far East Magic is the best!"

"Hase River! Hanase River! Hanase River!"

Another round of enthusiastic cheers erupted.

"Izumi-chan sang really well, and the other girls also performed well, especially in terms of their emotional investment. They were all quite serious, unlike someone else."

Sawamura Sayuri's voice rang out beside her, startling her awake.

"Who is this person talking about?"

Eriri glanced at her mother.

Why ask a question you already know the answer to?

Sayuri Sawamura touched her cheek with one hand, speaking in a teasing tone.

"I, I know."

The girl gritted her teeth, which was tantamount to admitting the truth.

……

The show is over.

The Far East Magic Society group, along with two other girls, evaded everyone's pursuit and arrived at the secluded rooftop.

Compared to the excitement just now, the atmosphere here seemed rather desolate.

"That was fantastic, a truly outstanding performance. I will never forget this day..."

Nagasaki said, wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Me too... It's such a shame. I wish I could be in a band for the rest of my life."

Ruoye's spirit floated away from her body and then casually uttered a joke.

Both of them felt very honored and moved to be able to participate in today's band performance.

"If there is a chance."

Hasegawa Izumi said something that seemed nonsensical.

"Is there a chance? Then I hope we can meet again in the next life..."

Wakaba paused for a moment, then laughed happily.

"Wakaba, your body..."

Because of the possession, Nagasaki-kun could see his friend's spirit directly, which was gradually fading away.

"No problem, this means I'm about to 'ascend to heaven,' isn't that a good thing? As for you, Kyoko, I hope you live to be a hundred years old. Remember to take good care of yourself, and don't die young like me..."

If Ye's obsession had subsided and she was no longer obsessed, she could face the matter with complete equanimity.

"Yeah...I will."

Nagasaki nodded reluctantly.

"Thank you everyone, goodbye~"

In mid-air, the girl's smile and body gradually faded and eventually disappeared.

"Wow……"

At this moment, Nagasaki couldn't help but kneel down and cry bitterly.

Witnessing this scene of life and death, none of the members of the Far East Magic Society spoke, each lost in their own thoughts.
