The all-powerful middle schooler

If it weren't for this mysterious person who unexpectedly intruded today, they would have truly become sacrifices used by the Nine-Tailed Fox for her advancement.

"Shadow, who exactly is he?"

The head of the Xia Chuan family, Xia Chuan Liang'er, looked up at the empty night sky and muttered to himself.

"Shadow... Lord!"

"Thank you for saving my life today!"

"I will remember this day for the rest of my life!"

Beside her, Natsukawa Mana's hands were intertwined, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

In a corner, the battle-damaged Yomi Isayama emerged, clutching her chest.

Because of Tamamo-no-Mae's death, the demonic power that had been binding her dissipated, allowing her to move freely.

"Shadow, it reminds me somewhat of that person? Maybe it's just my imagination... He shouldn't be that strong, right?"

She had some doubts, but didn't think about them too much, because there were still some tricky problems ahead.

The cleanup of so many people will take a lot of effort.

Currently, the world still chooses a conservative approach to dealing with the changing situation, treating the extraordinary as part of the 'inner world', while outwardly maintaining the peace and stability of modern society.

With the battle over and cell phone signal restored, she quickly contacted authorities to handle the situation.

As for the group that remained conscious throughout, they all had some connection with the extraordinary, and were not harassed. They were able to leave at their leisure.

"Hey, where's that girl?"

Some people remembered the super-powered girl who had stood up for them, only to find that she had long since disappeared.

"Click."

Just after everyone left, the reddish-brown stones placed on the high platform not far away suddenly cracked a few times, as if they had exploded, and shattered into meteors that flew in all directions.

……

Half an hour later, in the hotel's private room.

Yukinoshita and her group invited him, along with Eriri and Aunt Sayuri.

"Although it's a bit late, thank you for your help to my daughter."

The woman in front of Izumi Hasegawa, dressed in a kimono with peony patterns, looked noble and elegant, and seemed quite young. She was none other than Lady Yukinoshita, who already had two daughters.

She bowed slightly to express her sincere gratitude.

Although she usually seems indifferent to her second daughter, she actually cares about her a lot. So when her second daughter had an accident, she was terrified. Fortunately, Mrs. Sawamura, whom she knew, lent a helping hand and calmed her down.

"It's nothing, just a small favor. Besides, Yukino is someone I value."

"Izumi Hasegawa said casually."

"value?"

Lady Yukinoshita's expression was somewhat strange.

The second young lady understood something, and her ears turned red.

"Well, Yukino visited Shuchiin before and met Hasegawa once, so she knows him..."

Yukino whispered something in her mother's ear.

"I see."

Lady Yukinoshita suddenly realized and said, "This is Yukino's luck."

"Indeed, it was my good fortune to meet Hasegawa-kun."

The second young lady nodded in agreement.

After expressing her gratitude, Hasegawa Izumi, not wanting to engage in further conversation and lacking any topics to discuss, passed the conversation to Aunt Sayuri, allowing the two ladies to continue their exchange.

Regarding today's events, the two ladies, who have seen many grand occasions, have also had their eyes opened and have a lot to talk about.

Four young people walked out of the private room.

"That person called Shadow is really amazing. He's that powerful. It seems like the world will have little to do with ordinary people in the future."

Yukinoshita Haruno also brought up the topic, saying with a hint of envy.

During the process, Yukino Yukinoshita discovered a problem: her usually meticulous older sister had not noticed the connection between Hasegawa and 'Shadow'.

After all, it's hard not to make connections when Hasegawa suddenly disappears and then the shadow appears.

Could it be a disguise?

Soon, a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes, and she dismissed the conjecture.

Half an hour later, realizing it was getting late, the Yukino family left by car.

"Quan, aren't you afraid of being exposed? There were so many people there at the time."

Eriri asked the question with some concern.

“It’s okay, everyone who was able to sense my presence did so with my permission.”

Izumi Hasegawa explained.

"Oh, no wonder."

Eriri tilted her head back, then stared intently.

"How come you can do everything?!"

"Because I'm the strongest."

"Pfft, you should say less of that! It's a complete flag. In the world of anime, the characters who are sacrificed by the plot are usually the 'strongest'."

As a seasoned anime fan, the girl was well aware of these intricacies and burst out laughing.

"If they die, it only proves that they are not truly the strongest."

Walking ahead, with his hands in his pockets, he turned around, his chin held high with confidence.

……

The night is dark.

After the fierce battle, Gokou Ruri went straight home after leaving everyone's sight. She first took a refreshing bubble bath to cleanse herself of dirt and sweat.

[Hasegawa-senpai, how long are you going to stay in Chiba? I have something important to tell you. Do you have time tomorrow?]

Lying on her side in bed, she took out her phone, sent a message, and stared intently at the screen, waiting anxiously.

"Wait a minute, something seems a bit ambiguous... Could you be misunderstanding something, senior?"

The girl's face flushed slightly as she thought of something.

About ten seconds later, she received a reply from her senior, which included the address and time.

"Great."

The girl smiled contentedly, then turned off her phone and fell peacefully asleep.

I hope to have another good dream tonight.

Chapter 124 The Name of Shadows, Renowned Throughout the World!

As the night deepens and most people go to rest, government agencies around the world are operating at high speed.

In today's information age, many things are no longer secrets. Moreover, with the arrival of a period of great change, Tokyo itself has no intention of keeping such secrets. Instead, it adheres to the consensus reached by various agencies and shares the information to see the attitudes and situations of other agencies.

"Just a few hours ago, a horrifying incident occurred in Chiba, Japan. A nine-tailed fox, a monster that had somehow mutated, was preparing to launch a blood sacrifice for thousands of people... In the end, a mysterious figure who called himself 'Shadow' appeared unexpectedly and defeated the nine-tailed fox with lightning speed, shattering this evil plan."

Similar situations occurred in different meeting rooms, and when the person in charge recounted the events, everyone present changed their expressions.

First of all, the fact that the nine-tailed fox wanted to establish herself as king, or even a god, touched a nerve with the organization. After all, no one wants power to be divided, and no one wants to have a god standing above them.

Secondly, the sheer power displayed by the being known as Shadow and the Nine-Tailed Fox during the battle was astonishing.

It's important to understand that the destructive power of weapons these days is quite terrifying. Not to mention tactical nuclear weapons and missiles, even ordinary firearms can have a fatal effect on most superhumans. Therefore, after their initial shock, the high-ranking nobles didn't have much fear of the so-called superhumans; instead, they were more envious and jealous.

After all, if one bullet isn't enough, then a missile will do.

But what they didn't expect was that the changes in the times would be so drastic. In such a short time, life forms have evolved to such an extent, exceeding their assessment.

Clearly, neither the being called Shadow nor the Nine-Tailed Fox seemed like creatures that could be easily dealt with by ordinary missiles.

If such beings were to cause destruction, it would be unless they disregarded the consequences and ignored the crowd.

Then they each discussed their own countermeasures.

"Let's see if we can make contact with him, befriend him, and make him our help. We should also observe his attitude towards monsters. Does he stand on the side of humans, or is he a rather benevolent being?"

"Let's assess how to deal with this dangerous character called Shadow and how much firepower we need to eliminate him."

"We must reconsider our attitude towards superhumans. In addition, we must strengthen our monitoring of superhumans and our ability to detect large-scale spiritual energy fluctuations, just like this battle, which our satellites were unable to detect."

"Also, how is the development of psionic weapons progressing? The potential of this path is enormous. If it is successfully developed, our position can remain secure."

Regardless of the attitudes of various organizations, the name of the Shadow has already resounded throughout the world and is firmly imprinted in their minds.

……

A ray of sunlight shone into the room from the part that wasn't covered by the curtains.

"Time to get up, lazy bastard."

After getting up, Izumi Hasegawa stretched, changed her clothes, and turned to the other bed, pinching her younger sister's chubby cheeks.

"It's not the time for the Night Vampires to appear yet..."

Little Dove turned her head away and muttered something under her breath.

Do you want to sleep from morning till night?

He grumbled inwardly, walked to the window, pulled back the curtains, and let in all the sunlight.

The room suddenly became bright and spacious.

Then, Kojiu buried her head in the blankets.

Hanasegawa Izumi: ...

He thought for a moment.

It seems that last night's events were too stimulating for the younger sister, who was experiencing it for the first time, as she was so excited that she barely slept all night.

"Dong dong dong."

At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Standing at the door was a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, with a sharp look in his eyes and an aura of authority. Beside him was a blonde girl who looked like a middle school student.

"Big brother, I've come to find you!"

As soon as the door opened, Mana Natsukawa immediately smiled and greeted them.

"Ah."

He responded with a smile.

However, middle-aged men don't have such a good attitude.

"He really is a handsome man; no wonder he could make that girl Zhenliang so infatuated..."

"I spoke with a scrutinizing attitude," said Ryoji Natsukawa.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

He deliberately acted impatient.

“Natsukawa Ryoji, the current head of the Natsukawa family, and the father of Masuzu and Mana, you should have heard of me from Masuzu, right?”

Xia Chuanliang spoke calmly, with a hint of arrogance in his voice.

"Never heard of it."

He tilted his head slightly and said casually.

Xia Chuanliang gritted his teeth, almost unable to hold back his anger.
