"Is he the sage you speak of?"

The beautiful ghost couldn't help but ask, and secretly pondered a way to escape.

"That's right, you've realized how insignificant you are, haven't you?"

Sanae Tokomori held a ball of crackling lightning in her hand, the light reflecting her smug expression.

"You little brat, what's there to be so proud of!"

Suddenly, she screamed, and the beautiful ghost let out a piercing howl.

Sanae Dekomori instinctively covered her ears, but at the same time she saw the demon escape from the dark space, pass through a wall, and flee.

"Hmph! Want to escape?"

The girl threw a punch, the power amplified by her spiritual energy was incredibly strong, directly shattering the wall. With a loud bang, pieces of rubble flew out, instantly turning the room into a mess.

"You can't escape death!"

She shook her hand, and then saw the ghost crash headfirst into the outermost wall.

"boom."

The beautiful ghost, who claimed to be able to become invisible and pass through walls, actually crashed into the wall this time and was bounced back several steps.

"why?"

It looked puzzled and completely bewildered.

A voice came from behind.

"Because you are the trial left to me by the Sage. If I let you run away so easily, what kind of trial would it be?"

"Come on, let go of everything and fight me, Death!"

Sanae Tokomori clenched her fists, a bloodthirsty madness in the smile on her lips.

"Damn it, you forced me to do this...!"

Left with no other choice, the beautiful ghost had to fight back and launched a series of attacks.

"Now, this is the full power of the Thunder Hammer!"

The girl clenched her fists, and a surge of electricity coursed through her, rushing straight forward.

"Thunder Hammer Whirlwind!"

"Raging Volt!"

"Thor's Crushing Fist!"

"Lightning Whirlwind Slash?!"

……

In the living room, a group of people stood around, but no one spoke; it was too quiet.

This scene is truly bizarre.

"Is Big Sister really okay? Hasegawa-senpai, that monster looks pretty strong, doesn't it? So many people couldn't fight it."

Feeling a bit creeped out, Ishigami Yu looked away and tried to find a topic of interest.

"Compared to ordinary people, that demon is indeed powerful, but compared to Sanae, it may not be so. Moreover, Sanae is of the lightning attribute, which is effective against these evil spirits, so you don't need to worry."

Hasegawa Izumi turned her head slightly, responded with a sentence, and then changed the subject.

"But Ishigami, what have you learned from this experience?"

"Do you have any insights?"

Yu Ishigami muttered to himself, recalling the humiliation he had suffered on the street.

“Senior, I understand. To uphold justice, one does indeed need great power. Evil people usually don’t reason with you.”

"Yes, children can be taught."

"Speaking of which, could what you said before be true?"

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and remembered the lie he had told him not long ago.

"What, are you regretting it now?"

Hasegawa Izumi smiled knowingly.

"It would be a lie to say I don't regret it... Damn it, I missed such a great opportunity!"

Yu Ishigami held his head in his hands, gritting his teeth, looking extremely distressed.

Even so, he did not ask for another chance.

As the saying goes, "If I gain it, I am fortunate; if I lose it, it is my fate."

We are already grateful to have received help today; we cannot be greedy any further.

The boy had a more open-minded attitude.

A few minutes later.

"Da da da……"

There was a sound of rapid footsteps.

"My sage, that evil spirit has vanished under the lightning I cast, and death has been dealt!"

Sanae Takamori, who had just run out, was breathing somewhat disordered, and her body was covered in dust. Her spiritual power had almost dropped to its lowest point, but she was in high spirits and had no injuries. It seemed like a complete victory.

"I saw it, Sanae, you did a good job. You used the powerful suppression of the lightning attribute to make it difficult to retaliate, and you have mastered the skills you learned very well... However, your attacks are still too straightforward. You can't control your actions, which leads to excessive consumption. If the opponent can hold on, then you are in danger."

Hanesegawa Izumi gave him guidance.

"Um, Sage, I've been having some problems lately..."

Upon receiving the praise, Sanae Tokomori was overjoyed. She then patiently memorized the subsequent instructions and combined them with her questions.

This was a rare opportunity for one-on-one instruction, so of course she had to seize it!

after a while.

"Alright, now let me erase the traces you've left behind."

Hasegawa Izumi arrived at the corridor she had been in before. With a thought, she repaired the damaged wall and then walked back.

As he descended step by step, flames suddenly erupted from the soles of his feet, spreading outwards from where he landed...

"Look, it's on fire!"

"Call the fire truck right away!"

Outside the brothel, passersby reacted to the flames and billowing smoke.

Then a group of people were seen fleeing from the brothel.

108

Chapter 108 The path of cultivation lies in wealth, companions, methods, and environment.

Some time later, the fire department and other government agencies arrived after receiving the call.

Why did you attend this party?

Do you know why the fire started?

What were you doing when the fire broke out?

The officials questioned the people at the scene, but because the overall situation was unclear and many of the people present were of high status, they did not use a harsh tone or forceful methods.

"Well, I came at the invitation of a friend, to protect her."

"I don't know the cause of the fire; I was dancing with my friends at the time..."

"That's all the information I have."

When questioned by the authorities, Ishigami Yu answered calmly.

His answer was arranged by senior Hasegawa. Because everyone was hypnotized, no one would expose him on the spot. It was perfectly reasonable and flawless.

After a while, they received a notification that they could go home, but could not leave Tokyo until the investigation results were confirmed.

“Ishigami, I didn’t see Di Ye. Could he be…”

Kyoko Otomo, standing to the side, looked at the building still burning fiercely, placed her hands on her chest, and guessed with a pained expression.

Her memory turned into her being forced to dance by someone brought by Di Ye Guang. Then Ishigami Yu appeared, stopped the person, and became her dance partner. Di Ye Guang left in a huff and went to the restroom. Then suddenly a fire broke out.

"Who knows."

Yu Ishigami made no comment on this; knowing the truth, he felt no pity for the other person's death.

This is karma!

Following this, authorities investigated the fire and ultimately determined it to be an accidental incident.

Upon receiving this result, Ishigami Yu could only sigh with envy.

"Wow, that's way too strong, senior!"

"So this is what a superpowered person is like."

The boy's youthful, adolescent heart was beating intensely.

……

That evening, after showing off her skills, Hasegawa Izumi returned home as if nothing had happened.

Ishigami's performance was not bad in his opinion, but missing the last opportunity meant missing it forever.

He has always been very easygoing.

"Kukuku, my other half, sneaking out in the dead of night, could it be that you have some unspeakable secret?"

Kobato, who was watching prime-time anime, noticed the door opening and stood up, turned around, and struck a pose.

This question was actually my younger sister's way of exploring information related to 'mystery'.

Ever since she learned that her older brother had several other 'companions' who were also superhumans, she has become increasingly concerned about this matter.

"It's nothing, I just went over to remove some 'traces'."

Hasegawa Izumi gave a simple answer while taking a bottle of cola from the kitchen refrigerator.

"Hmph, it seems my other half is quite cautious. But it's true, no matter how much time passes, humanity's pursuit of power and immortality remains unchanged. When people like us appear, we're bound to be met with their greedy gazes!"

Kojiu instantly understood and pretended to be profound.

The younger sister's sense of identification began to merge with reality.

That makes some sense.

"Heh, it seems you didn't watch Kobato's anime for nothing. Role-playing seems to suit you quite well."

He walked over and gently ruffled his sister's blonde hair with a look of satisfaction.

"It's not some kind of acting! I am Resisvie Felicity, the great progenitor of vampires! You, my half-body, merely regained your power first!"

Little Dove stubbornly pouted.

"Hahaha……"

He smiled when he heard that.

Before we knew it, it was the third day of winter vacation.

On Detective Hill, a girl dressed in sportswear and disguised rode her bicycle downhill, and some paper drawings could be vaguely seen in the bicycle basket.

Eriri set off early this morning from her English garden and finally arrived at Detective Hill after cycling for a while.

"At this hour, Izumi shouldn't be up yet, right...?"

"Wait, he's a superpowered person now, does that mean he doesn't need to sleep anymore?"

The cold winter wind ruffled her bangs. She looked up at the faintly brightening sky and drifted into a reverie.

"Ding dong."

After parking her bicycle in the courtyard, she took her drawing paper and rang the doorbell.
