The all-powerful middle schooler

Chapter 55: The Royal Bodyguard, Kato Megumi.

What does it feel like to confront an evil spirit?

As an ordinary person, Sakurai first understood the concept of 'supernatural' when she watched a horror movie with her father. She was so young that she wet her pants in fear.

Now that she has experienced it herself, she can guarantee that the terror is far greater than before, and she was so trembling that she didn't even have the strength to run away.

In fact, running away is useless.

After their paranormal adventure, the team members died one by one at the same intervals, despite trying many methods to escape the evil spirits' pursuit...

Clearly, only mystery can combat the supernatural.

However, she knew nothing about the true mysteries, and only possessed half of the ability to see ghosts, so she could only use it to see how she died.

Then, she seemed to sink into the cold water, gradually losing control and her consciousness becoming increasingly blurred.

Just when all hope seemed lost...

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the front door of the house was blown in as if it had been hit by a huge force.

Sakurai, now possessed by an evil spirit, rolled his eyes and turned his head to look like a robot twisting its neck.

A figure slowly stepped in, holding what looked like a ball of lightning in his hand. His golden bangs stood up in front of his eyebrows, making him look quite imposing.

"Get out of here and die!"

The next second, Sanae Dekomori disappeared from her original spot and instantly appeared in front of it, the electricity on her hand bursting into its eyes at the same time.

"Thunder Fist!"

The lightning-fast punch, delivered by a body propelled by electric current, caught the evil spirit completely off guard. It was struck in the abdomen, its body contorting like a bent shrimp.

Thunder is of the purest Yang attribute and naturally possesses the ability to ward off evil.

After a long period of training, Sanae Dekomori has also mastered the power of thunder to a very detailed level.

Therefore, she controlled the force of her punch perfectly, breaking through the evil spirit's defenses while simultaneously channeling subtle lightning into Sakurai's entire body.

"Ah~!"

The evil spirit let out a piercing scream, and was then forced to separate from its human identity.

"Go to hell, Death."

Sanae Tokomori pointed her palm at the evil spirit and then unleashed a lightning bolt as thick as a wrist, radiating a dazzling light.

A beam of light pierced through the body, leaving a large hole in the evil spirit's chest.

Its body suddenly became ethereal and uncertain, and it looked like it was about to disappear.

"A piece of cake."

Sanae Tokomori clapped her hands, looking relaxed and carefree.

"Damn it...damn it!"

"They all deserve to die!!!"

Just before the evil spirit disappeared, it let out a resentful curse.

"It...it's dead? It's that simple?"

Sakurai curled up and hid to the side, rubbing her eyes in disbelief.

The evil spirit that arbitrarily tortured and killed their expedition team died so easily?

That's a bit too unrealistic.

"Who do you think I am? I am the Thunder Hammer Wielder! A mere ordinary evil spirit would be instantly killed if it encountered me."

Sanae Tokomori turned her head, put her hands on her hips, and smiled confidently.

"Excuse me, are you..."

While Sakurai was still confused and asking questions, a weak voice sounded from the doorway.

"Knot, is it over?"

Kato Megumi leaned half her body out.

A few minutes later.

"Thank you, Dekomori-kun, thank you for saving my daughter..."

"Is there anything you need us to do? If it's within our capabilities."

"Uncle and Aunt, you don't need to worry about it. I was just fulfilling my request."

Sakurai's parents are deeply grateful to Sanae Dekomori for saving their family.

On this side, Sakurai finally understood what was going on from Kato Megumi.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood Kato-kun before. I thought you were going to leave me to die... Please accept my apology."

She immediately performed a full dogeza (a deep bowing gesture).

"It's okay. Not everyone can stay calm when facing life-threatening situations... Besides, it's not my doing. It was Dekomori who saved you. It has nothing to do with me."

Kato Megumi reached out and helped him up.

"No matter what, it was thanks to your request, Kato, that Dekomori-kun is here. I must thank you."

The latter shook his head, his expression serious.

After dealing with Sakurai's parents, the three of them went to the courtyard to talk alone.

After expressing his gratitude in the usual way, Sakurai began to inquire about the other world.

“The things involved here are too complicated to explain in a short time. How about this, if you have any questions, we can contact each other through the ‘Electronic Sea’.”

If it were an ordinary person, Sanae Dekomori might have chosen to ignore it, but considering their shared connection to mystery, she agreed.

"The Sea of ​​Electronics?"

Sakurai and Kato Megumi exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

"In your human language, it's called the internet or Death."

Sanae Tokomori explained patiently.

The three then took out their phones and added each other as friends on Line.

"Um, Dekomori-kun, I'd like to ask you a favor, could you teach Kato how to use his superpowers?"

Although he was a bit shameless, Sakurai still went all out for his friend.

"Dekomori is not qualified to be a mentor yet. He is still on his way."

Sanae Tokomori shook her head.

Although she was arrogant, she still had a clear understanding of herself in certain aspects.

Whether it's her or anyone else, they all became what they are today under the guidance of the Sage, and often they know the result but not the reason why.

Giving unsolicited advice to others may mislead them.

"why is it like this."

Sakurai hung his head, looking very disappointed.

"Sakurai-san, I'm fine."

Kato Emi said calmly.

Sakurai and Sanae Dekomori both secretly admired him.

People who can remain calm in the face of superpowers are extremely rare.

"However, it would be a real shame not to develop your abilities. I'll ask Death for help for you."

Sanae Tokomori pondered for a moment, then smiled and looked up.

"Really?"

Sakurai's expression brightened, and the latter nodded.

"Kato-kun, that's great!"

"Yes, that's great."

"Hey, Kato, can't you act a little happier?! Damn it, do you know how envious I am of people with superpowers?!"

"Actually, I'm quite happy."

Kato Megumi's mood was not as calm as it appeared.

Bye-bye!

Goodbye, Sakurai-kun.

"Kato-senpai, come with me to Death."

After saying goodbye, Sanae Dekomori walked ahead and led the way.

"Dekomori-kun, where are we going?"

Kato Megumi followed behind and asked softly.

"I'll take you to consult the sage."

"Sage?"

"The Sage is an all-knowing being. If you can receive his guidance, you will have Death for the rest of your life."

"Is...is that so?"

In Sanae Dekomori's eyes, the only person who can currently serve as a mentor to espers is Hasegawa.

Because the Kato family and the Hasegawa family lived very close to each other, she decided to bring people to visit them and seek their advice.

"You want me to teach her how to develop superpowers?"

Hasegawa Izumi looked at the expressionless girl beside her.

"Hello, I'm Megumi Kato."

The girl looked directly at him, bowed slightly, and was not timid at all; she was quite easygoing.

“That’s right, Sage. You see, Kato-senpai’s abilities are very special and more suited to the current social environment than ours. It just so happens that our organization lacks a unit like ‘Covered Mobile’.”

Sanae Tokomori continued.

"You want her to do the dirty work for you, don't you!"

Hasegawa Izumi turned around and made a sarcastic remark to her.

Everyone's fighting power is indeed amazing, but in many situations, they cannot use their power openly, otherwise it would be easy to cause a big commotion and cause unnecessary social unrest.

The reason why society can still appear so harmonious on the surface is that most awakened individuals maintain a restrained attitude to avoid arousing the suspicion of certain people, who might then resort to means to suppress or target them.

After all, the organization still possesses overwhelming power, and even without modern weapons, the number of superhumans within it is not necessarily small.

However, those with abilities like Kato Megumi, which can reduce their presence, don't need to worry so much about being discovered.

"Besides, the Sage can't possibly have to take care of everything himself whenever he encounters trouble, right? He'll need a personal guard or something similar, Death!"

Sanae Tokomare pressed her advantage, continuing to persuade him, even deviating from her initial goal.

"This suggestion is not bad; we can adopt it."

Hasegawa Izumi nodded thoughtfully.

Soldiers against soldiers, against generals.

This phenomenon has been documented in many parts of the world.

"Sage, you've agreed?"

Sanae Tokomori's eyes lit up.

"That depends on her willingness and ability."

His gaze shifted to the side.

"I am willing."
